POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

Re: POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

LOL at Bourdain's "last" interview.
https://popula.com/2018/07/15/bourdain-confidential/

On choosing between the Dems and Trump:

Well look, you know, you got two options here. One you’ve got, somebody who is going to be make compromises and concessions, and the other’s Pol Pot!

If you wanna burn down Washington to the ****ing ground, you know, I’m with ya. I’m just waiting for a mob to assemble. I don’t quite see that happening. And who will be leading this charge? Because if Susan Sarandon is anywhere among the joyful revelers, I’ve clearly chosen the wrong pony!

On the Lewinsky scandal:

[Popula]Should we have gotten rid of Bill Clinton after the Lewinsky scandal?

No.

[Popula]Really?!

Bill Clinton, look, the bimbo eruptions—it was ****ing monstrous. That would not have flown today. A piece of ****. Entitled, rapey, gropey, grabby, disgusting, and the way that he—and she—destroyed these women and the way that everyone went along, and, and are blind to this! Screamingly apparent hypocrisy and venality. How you can on the one hand howl at the moon about all these other predators. And not at least look back. OK, let’s say, well, it was all consensual: powerful men, starstruck women, okay fine, let’s accept it at its most charitable interpretation. Fine. He is a very charming man, I met him, he’s ****ing magnetic.

[Popula]Wow, yeah. I’ve never seen anything like him.

As is she. When you’re in the room, you think wow, she’s really warm and nice and funny. But the way they efficiently dismantled, destroyed, and shamelessly discredited these women for speaking their truth.

[Popula]Yeah.

… is unforgivable.

[Popula]Unforgivable. Why didn’t we get rid of them? We should’ve gotten rid of them back then.

No… no, look. I think – I don’t think he should’ve been thrown out of office for this.

[Popula]Why not? We want people who are of excellent character to be in that office.

I think you recognize people for what they are, and you determine for yourself, I’m not voting for that mother****er ever again! Or anybody who enabled him, you know? This product, okay, I voted for it, it’s in. Is this grounds for pulling someone out of office? I don’t think so.

On Trump:

I think this is most useful because it makes it so much more difficult for Trump to fire Rosenstein or Muller, now that you’ve shown, in a not offensive way: Nobody’s accusing you of anything!

I think Trump’s going down for the money. Collusion is tricky to prove, it’s the money. And once they get too close, in my view he will declare victory, congratulate himself on the fantastic job he’s done and resign, saying the job is too small for him. Just what he did in Atlantic City! I got mine, big success for me, and leave behind a shambles.

on #MeToo:

[Popula]You were a hero to so many women, so thank you for that.

No really and truly not at all, I’m just a guy who saw what his girlfriend and her friends uh… you know. I saw a lot.

On Revolutions:

You know, I just spent about ten days in West Virginia. I like them. I liked the Trump voters. They say grace every meal. Coal is gone.

I love them. And anybody who cannot understand how important even the promise of a slight increase in the number of coal jobs is, how important that is to their cellular tissue, their self-image, everything. How grotesque it is, for people to bigfoot in and say we’re all going to move you into solar, and why can’t you people… No!

The contempt and the ridicule which has been heaped on places like West Virginia, which is the heart, demographically, of enemy territory, as far as New York liberals like us are concerned. If we cannot… This is something we ****ed up in the Sixties. We were fighting against cops and construction workers… cops and construction workers were exactly who we ****ing needed! They were the first to die, in Vietnam. We weren’t gonna!

Here's what some of you folks here are just fine with.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigrant-children-held-in-shelters-they-told-us-to-behave-or-wed-be-here-forever/2018/07/14/635f4cee-86b4-11e8-8f6c-46cb43e3f306_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.8128bd3f7233

When the 8-year-old stepped off a plane here earlier this month with freshly cut bangs and a shelter-issued sweatsuit, she was met by crowds and television cameras and finally, in a carpeted airport conference room, by the mother who had been taken from her two months earlier at the border.
But now, a day after that joyous reunion, the girl from Guatemala was shoving a toddler who had tried to give her a hug and a kiss at a welcoming party in the suburbs. Now she was screaming and crying and telling the boy to stay away.
This is what two months in a Texas shelter had taught Sandy Gonzalez.
“They always kept the boys and the girls separate,” the second-grader explained last week. “And they punished us if we went near each other.”

“I felt like a prisoner,” said Diogo De Olivera Filho, a 9-year-old from Brazil who spent five weeks at a shelter in Chicago, including three weeks in isolation after getting chickenpox. When he got lonely and left his quarantined room to see other kids, he said the shelter put up a gate to keep him in. “I felt like a dog,” he said.

This is what we, Americans, did to innocent children. Because we wanted to. Because that's what you voted for. The trauma these kids have been through.

I am not okay with this. Any of this. By treating these people as not-human, we are radicalizing new cultures to hate Americans.

Between this story, and the video clip someone posted last night showing a young boy not wanting to hug his own father; I'm continually disgusted. This isn't MY America.

May not be YOUR America but it is OUR America. And nothing to be proud of either. Unless your Flaggy, then you're smiling ear to ear.

Yeah none of us are clean. Trump and his defenders have dragged us all down into the mud. And Trump did the same thing in Europe blaming their issues on immigration.

Yep, it's all our fault "until he got into office". After all, he's the only one that can fix it.

DNC blocked the FBI from investigating it... how, then, can they say that they were hacked if they haven't even seen the server? You went to college, use your brain.

Re: POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

Russia called in their loans to Trump's real estate empire, and they had dirt on him to the point that his hands were tied. I think it's that simple.

Re: POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/putin-denies-interfering-in-us-election-offers-to-analyze-together-any-evidence

n a joint press conference after a one-on-one meeting, Russian Vladimir Putin, standing next to President Donald Trump, addressed the “so-called” Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election on Monday, saying that Russia had never and would never tamper with American internal affairs.
Putin went on to offer his assistance in analyzing any “specific material” pertaining to Russian meddling that may come to light.

“Any specific material, if such things arise, we are ready to analyze together,” he said. “For instance, we can analyze them through the joint working group on cyber security, the establishment of which we discussed during our previous contacts.”

Yeah, I'm sure Putin would like nothing more than to see what evidence our intelligence communities have gathered on his election meddling. Can't imagine why he'd want to see it.

I did go to college, used that knowledge to Google for "Imran Awan Server", and saw that they *DID* see the server and the log data for internet traffic in/out of the server.

Wanna try again?

Because he knows there's none. The accusations were a bluff meant to destroy goodwill between the US and Russia.

And all of our intelligence services are in on it too. It's the perfect crime really.
