Juanita Broaddrick claims rape, and Paula Jones claims indecent exposure. There is not much to support either claim, but they are claims of non-consensual actions. Of course there are several other claims of "adultery" but yes consensual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows what he stands for and he is clearly not fit in decision making judging by his records for the last three weeks and goes into tantrums on twitter with everyone who disagrees with him... He stands for incompetence and white privilege. Didn't have to be qualified, didn't have to be intelligent, didn't have to do anything except be white,pale male and politically incorrect. That is it. The fact that his detractor cannot see that boggles my mind. On 2/6/2017 at 10:42 PM, OftenWrong said: Sounds like a positive, in general. But yes, seems like being the POTUS takes its toll. As President Donald Trump famously said, "This office is so powerful, you need God even more." No, his parents living long is a negative for those who don't want him in office.

The system in the US balances individual and state representation. States all have an equal number of senators and two extra electoral college votes. This means that if someone wants to be elected president they have to appeal that extends beyond the heavily populated urban states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State legislatures have redrawn many district boundaries and they are a partisan bunch and effect the numbers of EC reps. per state. Kind of like instead of the voters picking their reps., the reps. pick their voters. That's gerrymandering, plain and simple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kactus Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Achtung! Achtung! Herr Oberführer Donald Duck in action: Quote From New York to Los Angeles, a series of immigration arrests this week have unleashed waves of fear and uncertainty across immigrant communities. "There are people that I work with who essentially want to go dark," said Cesar Vargas, one of the first immigrants without legal status in New York state to be sworn in as a lawyer. "They don't want to be public in any way whatsoever. They spend less time on the street. They go to work and go straight back home. They don't go on Facebook. They put curfews on themselves." http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/11/politics/immigration-roundups-community-fear/ Make America unsafe again, make America hateful again. Well done Trump carry on Ducking.... Edited February 12, 2017 by kactus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. It does not. Running a billion dollar company is certainly a better qualification. Obama was white he would be indistinguishable from Clinton and would never have gotten the nomination. So you can say he got his position because of his skin colour. Trump, OTOH, could have been elected with his anti-immigration platform no matter what his race. BTW: a degree from Harvard is perhaps the best example of "wealth privilege" that you could find. The only reason so much status is conferred on Americans who graduate from ivy league schools is that status is what the wealthy need to protect their privilege for the children. If Americans wanted to do something about social mobility and "wealth privilege" (the real issue) they could start by changing their attitude toward graduates of schools whose main claim to fame is it costs huge sums of money to attend.

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 President Trump cannot be impeached for legally deporting illegal immigrants. President Obama deported more that 2,000,000 illegals. Illegals who have committed crimes in the U.S. should have been deported a long time ago.
