They immediately jump to the sex card even where there are a variety of perfectly valid reasons that do not include a sexual component, double entendre aside. I suspect that that is the reason Trump does it, and the fact that people who suffer from TDS, get enraged at any challenge, and are obsessed with their own importance get mad, stop thinking and jump for the "bait" almost before it hits the water,is because it works.<br />I do rather enjoy how Trump seems to be able to select the right word definition for an opponent or select that opponent weakness as something to enrage them especially hypocrites like Gillibrand. She was perfectly ready to take Bill Clinton's money and endorsements, even DJT's, when it was politically expedient and then willing to "stab them in the back" when she no longer needed them. Where was she when Clinton was sexually harassing, and in some alleged rape cases, large numbers of women? Where was she when Hillary was attacking and trying to destroy Bill's accusers? Gillibrand had to know just as much as most of Hollywood knew about their abusers. How easy it is for her to switch from NOT being a women's advocate to being one? Does not appear to be a very principled person. <br />Cutting the numbers of regulations alone is a great accomplishment.

Of those, 12 have been confirmed. By this time in Obama’s first year, only two circuit court judge and four district judges had been confirmed.<br />----Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-541837169529030322017-12-13T19:10:37.963-08:002017-12-13T19:10:37.963-08:00Pound for Pound, Trump has deflated more self-righ...Pound for Pound, Trump has deflated more self-righteous egos than the Guinness Book of World Records. I think this is why he has been elected - to pull down the pants of the ruling class and deride their high-minded sanctimony with earthy low mockery. It won't go on forever, but it certainly ought to go on long enough to bring these whigs to heel. The reset is long overdue.<br /><br />I agree he's no gentleman, but when one compiles a list of his accomplishments against his list of campaign promises, there is measurable progress. And where there is none, it's usually because progress depends upon the collaborative efforts of his party, which have so far been a miserable failure, even falling short of entering the starting gate in many cases.Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-29391531572090456962017-12-13T17:24:31.135-08:002017-12-13T17:24:31.135-08:00"Al Franken's sacrifice..."

This is...I don't understand why she even tried. This is the sort of sport he enjoys and feeling insulted in return just rewards his game. There's no contest of insults that Trump can't win by lowering the standards of decency.<br /><br />And as long as Bill Clinton remains free, Trump's international playboy toolkit from a decade+ ago is irrelevant. Al Franken's sacrifice mean nothing, although we can imagine there will be more #MeToo callings against more Democrats in the coming months, and KG can lead the charge just in case sexual-purity helps the Democrats win more votes.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
