Give him time. And he's still carrying on the ones started by previous administrations.
Only because the USA can't get out. Trump is very much against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanted the US to get out of both ASAP. The reason it hasn't happened is because, now he is president, he has been confronted with the realities of the situation by people who know what they are talking about. This is the same reason why the USA was still in those wars after eight years of a president who was elected on the basis of stopping them

Hilary, btw, is not a war monger, but she understood the realities better than Trump during the election campaign.

Sexual misconduct claims are a bit close to home for Trump.

It is one of those wtf moments, when you realise this man is the President of the USA.

There was a moment of irony after Trump had been recommending innocent until proven guilty, when some of his fans were shouting "lock her up".   I don't know if they meant Clinton or Ford.  But he actually used the word evil about Ford's supporters.

Yes, a bit of common decency, something Trump lacks.

Because anyone who is right of centre isn't normally human?

Mmmm did Trump getting elected could only happen in a world where political debate gets shut down in a such a fashion?

Did I say that? Come on, Democrats are right of centre by and large. But too many Republicans demonstrated huge inhumanity to Dr Ford. It's good to see that some aren't like that.

Quite: the yanks don't, by global standards, have a left-wing party of any consequence. The Dems are like moderate, centre-right Tories, and the Reps the hard-right Thatcherites.

Bernie?

In the age of Blair - Cameron, I would suggest Democrats would more align with Blair.

Now the hard left are back in town not so much, but there again many Labour MPs are not hard left either.

I think Bernie went Democrat to maximise his chances, because no party except the Dems and the Reps has a cat in hell's chance of providing the president.

Got rid of mine - but the link is very odd - goes to FB and is very long.



STV, eh?

Mind you, I know some people who worked at "Trump Turnberry" (What a daft name....).
I say 'worked' because their conditions employment changed in 2015, and the friendly atmosphere of the place became somewhat toxic.
Quite a few locals from South Ayrshire were 'encouraged' to seek other employment, and replaced by immigrants - not that that's a problem per se, but the replacements were mainly from the Phillipines, and their command of English, far less ayrshire Scots is patchy.
The result? Most local golfers go elsewhere, and the locals use other hostelries to drink in.

Really? English is the public language of the Philippines - government, commerce and education are conducted in English. Tagalog is used at home.

My GP is a Fillipino, HH; I have no problems communicating with him until he starts talking about blooming baseball - which is, for some reason, a passion. However, I reiterrate that Trump Turnberry's present turnover of staff and the communication barrier has cots it dear in custom and local atmosphetre. Whilst the tourist tade here is heavly dependanton migrant workers, most establishments - golf resorts such as Troon, Belleisle, Prestwick, etc, reteained their local and warm welcoming atmosphere whilst employing such workers: Trump Turnberry has not. Oh....and they banned Irn Bru, which is, of course, blasphemy. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/09/trump-angers-scots-with-ban-on-irn-bru-at-luxury-golf-resort

God chose a pussy grabber and a serial adulterer and a liar?

Wow, great judge of character your God.

Moses murdered a man.

King James Bible
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Judge of character is a human thing only.
God knows what his plans are and who is suited best.

Joseph for instance went into slavery and falsely accused of rape and put in prison.

TRUTH... Only God knew Joseph was innocent and his accuser.  Women will do many things just as men will.
If sin stopped us being the person God intended us to be when using our skills be it Doctor, Surgeon, Judge, even teacher or film star then all positions would be vacant.

God choses the right people to get the Job done and we as humans try and do the same.  A person may lie, they commit adultery and many other sins which a routine for most humans. But those sins do not stop a surgeon or any other profession from fulfilling their duty and using their expertise to save others.

We cannot think as you do. Every person has committed sin and lied but not necessarily in their job.  I believe that people lie and do most of those things like adultery but they still save lives and bring justice.
