Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[LinekersLegs]

So looking at this from another angle, does everyone here who post about Candice Owen hate her because she’s black and a woman.

People often misconstrue Twitter with the real world, I guess it’s the times we live in. Some trolls giving her abuse online is not a standard approach to everyone who doesn’t like her. My family in Queens can’t stand her, along with many others. But I guess it’s just easier to say those people dislike her because of her skin colour rather than her batshit crazy ideas

It’s the fact that she cries racism and sexism every time somebody disagrees with her or challenges her. It’ll be interesting to see what excuse she uses if she’s defeated for her seat

On Candace I would give the exact same reply - to say her youth/race/sex have no bearing on how people feel about her (either negatively or positively) doesn’t seem to be at all based on the real world that most of us deal with every day. It might not be the primary motive of some, or even most, but to categorically rule out their influence seems naive in the extreme.

In both cases I think you have to look at the criticisms/praise in context and look at how the same person has reacted to similar comments by a different person to determine if there is any bias be it conscious or unconscious. I also think the reactions can be significant on the margins - for instance with perspective of distance I believe my personal reaction to Sarah Palin, whilst mainly based on her manifest unfitness for office in both temperament and knowledge, may well have been intensified by her being a woman.

Complete hogwash again. Do yourself a favor and look into actual news sources.

She only started making that salary what less than a year ago? So she hasn't earned that yet.

Also you realise she was talking about when she was a waitress in New York about how hard it was.

As for the pay rise she was saying if all politicians were paid more they may not need to take from dark sources and be open to bribes.

You took that out if context but I can see why because when I googled it the 3 sources that said exactly what you said were the alt right media and the other was fox

so she does earn $170k therefore it’s not hogwash, it’s the truth.

if that was anyone from the other side of the political isle there’d be cries of greed. No matter how much money is thrown at people they’ll still want more, so the loophole theory is crazy. People will always find a way. Wouldn’t the more sensible thing be to look at legislation to prevent such things from happening

Finally, I didn’t google anything, nor do I read alt right media, or fox for that matter. But my point stands, it’s easier to point the finger than accept what actually occurs

You said she was a millionaire first. I corrected you. You decided to tell me next she make 170k like that's the same thing and then you changed tact.

You then repeated the rights bs about things she said that are incorrect. Funny if you.didnt look it up how did you know she said these things. So you are saying you made it up?

You are just looking for anything for her to be wrong about and make her out to be something she isnt.

I swear to [Poor language removed] if Pelosi doesn't cancel the "vacation" I will be livid. Thune is going to TRY TO???? "Ok, now you have ALLL the time in the world to read it".

Just a note - Thune is a Senator, so they don't follow the House's calendar - Pelosi could certainly (and I think should) ensure that committee hearings and such continue on through the scheduled break, so that impeachment articles are available sooner for consideration by the full House.

$170k for a residence in New York and a residence in DC really isn't very much money.

 

[MrPerfectNot]

He should probably read just a page a day in between binge watching HBO, wouldn’t want him to overly tax himself.

He's from South Dakota (my home state) - not sure HBO has made it there yet......

Not with that attitude. OBVIOUSLY if you are unable to afford hat there are "groups" that could help you with your salary.

Christ, $170,000 would get you a kitchen space in NYC

The building I'm in at the moment, the lowest rent on a studio apartment is $2,400 per month

The really funny scenario of all this would be:

Trump is forced from office (either by resigning prior to conviction by the Senate or by actual conviction by the Senate) and is still, conceivably, allowed to run for President in 2020. Him running again is not a likely scenario if he leaves office early, but it could happen.

ok fair enough, not everyone. But take the Nancy Pelosi incident, she brought up “women of colour” to have a pop at her. When there was no need too, that was disingenuous and it’s just as bad as some of trumps antics, it’s incitement. But people refuse to see it or accept it

I know many here love the more far left agenda, and that’s their right. I’m straight down the middle, if there’s something I do not like I’ll call people out on it regardless of what side of the political spectrum it sits

The US middle or the UK middle? Two very different places.

And he takes Pence out with him, making Pelosi president who makes Biden her VP and that gives him the nom. Sitting VP Biden v former president Trump

That makes her a millionaire though right? That was his initial claim. Funny how he still thinks hes right haha!

I see and feel your wishful thinking! But there is no way both Trump and Pence get impeached over the next 15 months. Pence would become President, and as long as the Dem nominee isn't Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders or Bill de Blasio, the next President should be democratic as should be both houses of Congress.

In the interests of national harmony they may want to postpone it until after everyone has had Thanksgiving dinner with their relatives...
