Prior to Petraeus even being mentioned by the Trump admin my mom and I had a really uncomfortable discussion. She was on a jag about Hillary’s mishandling of classified data (emails) and remarked look what they did to Petraeus and he didn’t do anything. She genuinely believed he had done nothing wrong, she said all he…

Much better than PEOTUS which sounds like a disease, then again...

Wow! I haven’t been reading spoilers and am behind an episode or two. There eyes look so similar in those pics.

Ok, Julian is that you? How’s the wi-fi in the embassy?

Um can you point out where she was called a hero? The article was about her success in being recognized as a woman. Separate issue from what she did.

might want to reread her statement. Putin is destabilizing Europe by helping the Assad government attack it’s citizens, sending large amounts of refugees into Europe.

I don’t believe Chelsea is a hero. I think she’s being treated deplorably but I don’t think she acted with honorable intentions when she stole the information and disseminated it. It wasn’t a Pentagon Papers type of move.

Heard this on NPR the other day. They were interviewing Clinton’s Secretary of Defense I think??? It stood out to me but didn’t seem to have much response or more focus in the interview.

The white journalist said it, not the black guy.

They tried to get Clinton on morality by using perjury as a front. Of all the lawsuits giant cheeto has been involved in there has to be some perjury out there.

I think this article can obviously apply beyond the context of dating. I’ve been guilty of “ghosting” on new acquaintances too. This part really struck a chord with me though:

The problem I have with the reaction to this is it seems like the journos on the receiving end went ahead and “advertised” the product anyway. This seems like a typical Trump business move- no such thing as bad press to sell your brand. I mean he has been all over the media including his stints to promote his DC hotel…

What the hell is it with abusers thinking they don’t deserve punishment when they do get it? Why it’s still someone else’s fault and their lives are irreparably harmed? What about the person you almost killed?

He seems to miss the point that a lot of budgeting issues likely have to do with the obstructionist Republicans pushing us to the brink of shut down every time they get their panties in a twist about a woman’s control of her uterus

$10m severance package and he cannot afford taking his time with the job market? I understand a large portion of that may not be assets he can use as income currently but he’s probably still doing a lot better than most employed people.

I agree with Manning receiving better treatment in terms of her mental health. I also agree that alone isn’t a reason to release her. That said she isn’t asking to be pardoned, just to have her sentence commuted to time served.

Also the random jump to Second Amendment rights as others pointed out down thread. WTF does that have to do with abortion?

Most Presidents appear gaunt after their terms so I’m going with shrink.

Good point about the intensity of the job. You see people age drastically during their time in office. Don’t know if he has the stamina. Ha! The only laugh I can muster in this scenario.
