This is a very one-sided picture. I must point out that in ALL instances of mass shootings of schoolchildren in the USA, only a minority of children have been killed, and most of those attending school that day have survived. Also, for those parents whose child has sustained life-changing injury, the parents have a LEGAL RIGHT to launch a crowdfunder towards the cost of medical treatment, so that if the injuries are not too extensive and the crowdfunder is sufficiently appealing, there is a chance the parents will not face bankruptcy caused by medical bills. A bit of balance would be nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, yes the aide Andrew Miller, not Stone Trump Tower Doorman released from Catch and Kill contract with National Enquirer now too Quote A former Trump World Tower doorman who says he has knowledge of an alleged affair President Donald Trump had with an ex-housekeeper, which resulted in a child, is now able to talk about a contract he entered with American Media Inc. that had prohibited him from discussing the matter with anyone, according to his attorney. On Friday, Marc Held -- the attorney for Dino Sajudin, the former doorman -- said his client had been released from his contract with AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, "recently" after back-and-forth discussions with AMI. CNN has exclusively obtained a copy of the "source agreement" between Sajudin and AMI, which is owned by David Pecker.

OutByEaster? Posted August 25, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2018 21 hours ago, peterms said: I'm not sure it makes sense any longer to try to understand it as a legal or political process. It all seems like a constructed tv show. The Apprentice, maybe, or Big Brother but with less dignity. And his defence in that quote was for me almost a confession of that - the threat being that the TV show and the drama is terrific fun for the plebs, but if you actually impeach me it'll affect people the the market, the things that matter. It wasn't a warning to the voter, the viewer or the public, it was a warning to the few billionaires that make the decisions. In fairness, he's making them a lot of money whilst deflecting all of the attention away from them, it's a actually a fair warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like the country is cracking. I honestly wouldn't mind going it alone as a country of New England at this point. So much ignorance out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Could you imagine, a situation like the former Soviet Union where states are trying to break free. Obviously can't see it happening, nor do I see any Basque or Catalan scenario. But the US, looking from the outside really seem like a country of polar opposites. Something that might have been a strength before, but no longer is. Edited August 25, 2018 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted August 26, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2018 In addition to being a war mongering hawk he also unleashed Sarah Palin as an actual VP candidate setting the stage for the “any loon who shouts enough mad shit can run a country” approach to politics. The fawning by the media et al with zero objectivity is sickening. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
