By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI know it's posturing, but has our alliance with SK ever been tested? 45 is doing his hardest to push all of our allies away.tested how?
Yea, he's president twitter fingers, but where are the generals at to tell him to stfu about certain countries?
Duarte coming through to parlay in the white house. Spoiled tang probably gave him dap for coming at Obama.
Basically. Lol

I mean, with us. They've never vocalised or inferred that they're relationship with us is looking shaky, due to an acting president's mouth, have they?
Michelle Obama charges $200,000 for a speech, apparently: https://www.axios.com/exclusive-rent-a-former-president-2384729882.html
Why/how do you support someone if you don't listen to what they have to say?

Not really sure what the issue is with these speeches as an non-American/outsider. If people are willing to pay it, then take it.

If people are willing to pay it, then take it.I'm finding it hard to put into words that say what I'm thinking and can't get misconstrued, so bear with me. President Obama accepting these speech opportunities from financial institutions some of his supporters consider "bad" goes against the image of him they have in their mind.

obama and michelle can do whatever they want, they tried to make a positive change and the nation repaid them by voting a guy who's main mission has been to destroy it all.

It goes against the direction the Dems should be moving.
Hillary got hammered for it and it is something that can easily be avoided. If he had no other way to make money I don't think it'd be as big a deal, but he signed a 65 million dollar book deal. Does he really need 400k from Wall Street when most dem voters find the party to be out of touch with everyday people?
"Hillary got hammered for it" as a bunch of people that voted for Obama twice decided to vote for the guy that ended up putting up every elite Wall Street CEO, President, or VP in his cabinet, but alas.

"42 percent of Obama-Trump voters said congressional Democrats’ economic policies will favor the wealthy, vs. only 21 percent of them who said the same about Trump."
"When it comes to communicating a message of economic opportunity that wins over both “communities of color” (where some drop-off voters are concentrated) and “struggling exurban families” (the types who went for Trump), Cecil acknowledged that Democrats “clearly have a lot of work to do.”"
Good article on this topic.
Bernie would have won

Trump lost the popular vote so the voters felt Hillary was more in touch with their principles.
How are we feeling about Republicans capitulating to voters and not funding that BS wall?

God damn
Has a president ever advocated for shutting the Government down...... when his party controlled congress?
This guy is such a fucking idiot. He wants them to nuke the 60 vote rule too. Jesus
Can't wait for the spin on that one.
Obama would have gotten crucified for even implying that. Hell, I think Bush would have too. Strange times.
He wants to be a dictator so fucking bad.

This budget L he just took wasn't because of the senate either. Pointing any heat unwarranted heat at McConnell is probably appreciated though.

Not gonna lie, part of me feels like this is revenge for shuffling him to the side for Kushner.
I mean fuck them but this leaking the same day Kushner's personal debt issues come out seems like a revenge move.
Nate Silver and 538 did a long expose on Comey's letter and its impact on the election:
Hillary Clinton would probably be president if FBI Director James Comey had not sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28. The letter, which said the FBI had “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation” into the private email server that Clinton used as secretary of state, upended the news cycle and soon halved Clinton’s lead in the polls, imperiling her position in the Electoral College.https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-comey-letter-probably-cost-clinton-the-election/
The letter isn’t the only reason that Clinton lost. It does not excuse every decision the Clinton campaign made. Other factors may have played a larger role in her defeat, and it’s up to Democrats to examine those as they choose their strategy for 2018 and 2020.
But the effect of those factors — say, Clinton’s decision to give paid speeches to investment banks, or her messaging on pocket-book issues, or the role that her gender played in the campaign — is hard to measure. The impact of Comey’s letter is comparatively easy to quantify, by contrast.
By DY_nasty Go To Post"Its not a big deal" thoEh? You're taking that out of context when I said that. I said the allegations in the letter "were not a big deal" but that people making it out to be are crazy. In the end, I was right, because the letter itself was bullshit. You're the one that insisted that there was something to it -- and there wasn't.
And if you read the 538 article, it's about how the media treated the letter like a bomb that went off and how messed up that was.
The motivation for this seems fairly clear: If Comey’s letter altered the outcome of the election, the media may have some responsibility for the result. The story dominated news coverage for the better part of a week, drowning out other headlines, whether they were negative for Clinton (such as the news about impending Obamacare premium hikes) or problematic for Trump (such as his alleged ties to Russia). And yet, the story didn’t have a punchline: Two days before the election, Comey disclosed that the emails hadn’t turned up anything new.
So don't get investigated by not doing dumb shit
It'd be different if she was blindsided or something.

Her assistant' emails being found on the assistant's ex-husband that is under a separate investigation isn't the definition of "blindsided"? Huh, ok.
By reilo Go To PostHer assistant' emails being found on the assistant's ex-husband that is under a separate investigation isn't the definition of "blindsided"? Huh, ok.How did this start in the first place?
There's nothing to re-open if you're clean from the start.
By reilo Go To PostHow did it end? No charges? Oh, okay. "Raises Questions" though amirite?It ended with her losing the election iirc
In other news:
You can blame Comey but it's entirely Clinton's fault for putting herself in that position to begin with. Its not anyone else's fault that she was as vulnerable to that as she was. Its no one else's fault that she handled it as poorly as she did through the entire ordeal. The fact she still can't own it and "has joined the resistance" further establishes dems as a whole being detached.
Man, you should really read the article because we're just retreading shit at this point. It's an expose on how the media treated the entire thing like it held the same weight, as say, oh, you know, being caught on camera and admitting to sexual assault or was some sort of actual scandal... it wasn't.
And over what? A private email server. I still can't get over how ridiculous that is from an IT perspective.

But that's the point! "Calling into question" her use of private email servers should not be on the same level as Trump admitting to committing sexual assault, but that's how the media handled it.
I mean I think it's BS tbh. Same shit for wikileaks - love it when it works for you, hate it when it does you in.
The media dogged Trump every step of the way. Hillary had years to dead this shit. She can kick rocks and sip Pepsi with Kendall Jenner.

The people chanting "lock her up" are all guilty of what she was doing! Clearly she's just stooooooooopid and not the victim of political opportunism in anyway. Obama was stooooooooooooooopid for taking dat speech money too ... wait.
How bad does she have to be at politics to be the victim of political opportunism as a Clinton against an election campaign led by Donald Trump?

You realize everyone lose to Trump, right? Like a plethora of COP candidates as well. That being said she's not good at politics.
The email thing was kind of a pet issue for your though. You're reading Nate'ss article through rose tinted glasses and that's really kinda all I was poking fun at.
The health care system is on the verge of ruination and y'all are talking about the fucking election.
