Trump Disgraces America Every Day
Today's example: Steven Bradbury, the "torture memos" man, appears before a Senate committee--because Trump has nominated him for a high position.
Cases like this make an excellent moral litmus test--and a bad show to the civilized world.... |

http://www.truth-out.org/archive/ite...arding-in-2002 Four top members of Congress, including now-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, got a close look at CIA overseas detention sites and interrogation techniques in September 2002 and offered no challenge to their legitimacy, according to a news article out Sunday. On the contrary, at least two lawmakers involved in the briefing that day questioned whether the CIA was pushing hard enough, even after hearing the details of the now widely criticized technique known as waterboarding, two U.S. officials told The Washington Post. "The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough," one official is quoted saying. With one known exception, no formal objections were raised by the lawmakers briefed about the harsh methods during the two years in which waterboarding was employed, from 2002 to 2003, said Democrats and Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan). |
If those people flunk the test, they flunk the test*. Obama passed the test, Trump is taking us backwards.
* although what they knew and when they knew it is a matter of some dispute: http://www.factcheck.org/2009/05/pel...tured-denials/ |
BTW whell, how about you? Do you think Stephen Bradbury should get the job? Yes or no?

Okay, today's second example (I'm afraid there's no actual limit to the number of daily examples).
Today Trump left 'petty and vindictive' behind, far behind.... http://i.imgur.com/z31ss7F.png Reaction from right and left has been dismay and condemnation: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/poli...-hosts-n778081 |
Sad! :mad:

[QUOTE=Rajoo;356351]I will choke before I can call him Mr. President.
I agree with you on that. |

He truly is an embarrassment to every single person in the United States Of America. Well maybe 'cept the Coke Bros. :rolleyes: |
What is just as unsettling, the fact his core supporters love this. What more even expect it, proud of his actions. See nothing at all wrong, get over it no one cares........:confused:WTF!!
SAD!:( Barney |

Yes. 'Tweet' is too nice a word for what we hear from Trump. 'Screech' is more like it.

I like this paragraph from Times columnist Gail Collins.

This just gets weirder. Trump basically tried to blackmail the Morning Joe anchors...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...onal-enquirer/ Does anyone still believe he didn't try to obstruct Comey? The guy operates like a mob boss. |

He doesn't seem to be winning right now. Finally republicans are speaking up about his inappropriate tweets, the White House is in chaos, many appointments are not filled, and he hasn't gotten any significant legislation accomplished. Sounds like a loser to me. |

No he doesn't. There is no game here. He is the president and he is failing miserably at it. That he can't figure that out is pathetic and dangerous for our country. People that give him a pass or make excuses for him only adds to the problem and are just as pathetic and dangerous as he is. |

This bill doesn't have much of a chance, given the Repubes willingness to ignore Trump's obvious mental issues, but who knows?

Picking a fight with lightweights such as the Morning Joe hosts was dumb, very dumb, in fact stupid. |
Quote:
Apparently he has republicans "wound up" too as more of them speak up about his inappropriate behavior. He is making fools out of his die hard supporters. |

It will be interesting to see what the attitude of republican congressmen is after they get back from the holiday.
I suspect they will get an earful from their constituents at home and will be reluctant to align themself too closely with Trump. |
