      Funny how Betsy decided Trump's many accusers were lying, but if it's a politician she hates, she suddenly believes women. Lol

      The same media that has already forgotten how Trump was praising violence against journalists at a rally last week. Their short attention span has no party affiliation.

      They were all made at the same time. If the drooling idiot who made them didn't properly understand what he was doing and made some kind of major mistake, then he would have duplicated it in the rest.

      Why are you jealous of him? As I noted, he's looking slack. If I was that bad at his age I wouldn't feel jealous, I'd be alarmed. Set the bar higher for yourself Bubber, you don't have to be a rapidly aging wreak.

      Uh...because there's an audiotape they made of him speaking that directly contradicts his denial. Look into it. If you have any integrity at all, you'll be embarrassed for criticizing them for telling the truth.

    3. betsy

      How did he contradict himself?   He didn't say anything bad about May!   And he admitted that he talked to May about Brexit - he gave SUGGESTIONS how she should go about it!

       

      Here's the transcript!

      Quote

       

       

      • “I actually told Theresa May how to do [Brexit], but she didn't agree. She didn't listen to me.”
      • “I would say she actually went the opposite way. . . . But it's too bad what's going on.”
      • “I think the [European Union trade] deal she is striking is not the one people voted on, exactly. It's a much different deal than people voted on. It was not the deal that was in the referendum.”
      • “But it will definitely affect trade with the United States, unfortunately in a negative way.”

      How is that not being critical? He said she's doing it all wrong and should have followed his good advice and how it will lead to poorer trade relations. That's criticism.

      So certain Trump supporters are happy to ignore the sexual assault aspects of Trump's history. I find that rather sad. I assume the pending lawsuits will catch up to him after he gets impeached.

      So certain Trudeau supporters are happy to ignore the dishonest egotistical aspects of Trudeau's behaviour. I find that rather sad. I assume the reality of his personality will catch up to him after Canadians realize what he really is. Oh,,,wait,,,nah they're too deluded. Have a little Trudeau transparency instead,

      I bet the oppositions will still be on this when they get back!  Weren't all parties concerned about sexual assault/misconduct in Parliament that they were, or have already come up with rules?  

      The last MP to be booted out was from the NDP.     They've committed some great effort trying to achieve that - they wouldn't let this pass, I bet.

      True but really, Trudeau wasn't even in politics at the, IMO under normal circumstances it wouldn't be a major issue.  The big problem is the hypocrisy and double standards he applies.

      Of course it's a tactic... it's political. Harper failed, both in his handling of the issue and in his ability to get anything done.

      Trudeau is using a different political strategy (tactic).

      It's not rocket science.... it's also not that important to most voters, other than ultra conservatives, which is why he is doing it differently than Harper did.
