I would say he's anxious to get re-started, but I wouldn't say he's demanding.

I don't care about Weinstein. I'm sure he's a scumbag and did it. What I am interested in is things like where you say he was being protected.

I'm only trying to discuss this as general accusations from the legal standpoint, and I like the idea that any accuser MUST file a police report if they are going to make an accusation public. I mean it's at least something to hold them to. Don't need the peanut gallery to chime in when they have no idea what I'm discussing. I'm just trying to discuss what safeguards that the accuser and accused can do to protect themselves from rape or a false allegation.

If it was a setup it wouldn't have to be real dirt, much like in a drug deal rip it's baking soda not real cocaine. Even in the court of opinion the fake dirt would have been better ammo, and it would have left a backup plan of an actual crime if need be down the road. I mean that's how I or any logical criminal probably would have done it.

Obviously dragging his feet.

You're just solidifying my point. What made their stories more believable than Trump, Biden, and Kavanaugh's accusers? ...or for that matter any man, anytime, anywhere?

Then why didn't she offer up the dirt(fake or not), and finish the mission? You yourself said if they got intel it may have been a problem, so why would they stop just short of what their goal was. Again, no logical explanation for that.

The thing is how easy would it be for the victims to lie about it. There were no real "witnesses" other than him and the accusers. How many accusers does Trump have? I'm just saying this is a delicate issue.

He's our new George Carlin.

Yes it's strange, but that's all it is at this point. The keyword I think your missing is implied promise. I'm not saying it's a slam dunk, but it's sticky. I also believe, but can't prove they did give intel, but it wasn't what he thought it would be. There's no logical explanation to think that she'd try to sneak in a meeting under false pretenses, and get a warm audience.

Brooo, every single one. I read an article about how ridiculous it was going to be, and it's living up to it.

Sorry I added this later: Also, some may disagree with your assertion it's legal: A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.

He said it was about Russian adoptions. Was that the truth? Also, some may disagree with your assertion it's legal: A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.

If anyone that wanted a test could get a test, we'd be able to tell who was sick and who was healthy. I'm not saying we'd have a test for everyone even if he did order it right away, but I think this was what he should have used war powers for. The sooner we get tests the better.

But if he moves from those positions, he loses his base. So he's kind of his own Frankenstein at this point. Some politicians can get away with some things unpopular, but they'd be the dog who didn't get its treat if he did it to them. He wouldn't lose many, but he can't afford to lose any. He really blundered on that one. It gave him no out. Either he admits he doesn't have the power, or he takes the blame if it fails. Only his base will be dumb enough to blame the governors if this fails, because he had the authority, and he didn't use it.

I'm not defending him per se. I'm making a point that besides what some women said about him, you really don't have any proof. Just trying to bring to light what a tricky situation this whole sexual assault thing really is. If he were Trump, he'd have said all these women are mad, because he didn't give them roles. It definitely deserves more attention than who's using which bathroom.

So he perjured himself? Do we have to go to Ghouliani's tree of the poisonous fruit again? Btw, thanks for your honesty

Don't forget, Trump has absolute authority to open back up, but he decided to punt. Now he has to rely on the defense. If he thought they are keeping it shut down to keep him from re-election, then he can use his absolute authority. So if he thought punting put the onus on the governors, then his own big mouth/ego got the best of him once again.

I think he's doing good too, but it's showtime now. How he handles this transition will be key. As for the question in the tweet, I wish he could have said for those who been living beyond their means, that's on you. For those who really need a job, I'm sorry, but there are places hiring for essential workers. It's harsh, but it's true.

I don't unless it changed him 180 degrees. I don't subscribe to trickle down, and that alone would make it near impossible to make him likeable to me. I don't like the wall, or lock up Hillary, or giving people 3rd grade names. Sorry, he's just not my kind of president.

I'm not in court, but if I was it sure would be good corroborating evidence. This was about his electability at the time, and I accept it at face value. Not the first time his big mouth got him in trouble. Which is still not proof he sexually assaulted anyone.

...and this is why I hate Fox news(?), especially Hannity. Accuses and probably, which leads to further suppositions, which by then end they are almost stating as facts. I can't even stand to watch it. When you got the goods, THEN present them. Trump is also real good at telling me things, but refusing to give me the goods. No I won't accept "trust me" or "believe me".

The thing is I don't like Trump, but the media isn't fooling me, so they aren't an issue for me. If they both wanna be jackasses, then so be it, but I hold my president to a higher standard

All I'm saying is if we were running balanced budgets for the last 25 years, we'd be handling this situation like millionaires instead of out of work dishwashers.

It simply means I don't absolve either. This is how it is, so play the hands as they are dealt.
