This is the organization that did nothing and take up space in midtown NYC...creates traffic jam... support dictators, and attack Israel for defending itself.
This is the organization that try to tax the world for climate change.
The corruption is rampant.
They can laugh all they want but we are the benefactor of Trump’s policies.
My retirement fund is up 30% since the election of Trump.
I am laughing too ...all the way to the bank.
Thank you President Trump.
Trump: In less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.
Representatives from almost every other country in the world: LOL
It's really fun, to be laughing with most of the rest of the world.
Trump is number one, in being a comedian.
In case you missed it, I have always held the opinion that the UN should be disbanded. It has never lived up to its mandate and promise. We need to start over...
The truth is - he has. He has done more in two years than President Reagan did in his first 4 years.
His accomplishments is not just economical.
He has decimated ISIS.
He has forced North Korea to the negotiating table.
He has put Iran on notice...
You Trump haters cannot see the forest from the trees...
I'm sorry, but you have to be out-of-your-mind to think that Trump is right and the rest of the world is wrong.
Our President, got up on the world stage, made a ridiculous statement, and was laughed at.
Am I missing something?
And how much was your retirement fund up after four years of Obama? I'd bet 100%. So by that measure (BY THAT MEASURE), Obama was a better President.
The world laughed at him because they were taking advantage of us for all those years. You got be joking taking side with the world who thinks of the US as chums. We have nothing to be sorry about.
This is a strange world we live in. We have Americans defending a failed wolrd organization making fun of an American President standing up for America first for a change.
When Obama goes on a world apology tour, everyone praised him...
Give me a break.
Usually, when you have one person in a room who thinks he's right and a few hundred who think he's wrong, they take the one guy who thinks he's right, put him a straight-jacket, and send him off to crazy camp.
You have to be delusional to come up with the conclusion you have. The laughter was made in direct response to Trump's statement that his administration had accomplished more than any other administration in history. It's a ridiculous statement and the UN laughed at him for it.
It has nothing to do with any previous relationship or any advantage other countries may have been taking of the U.S. Trump made a very specific statement and the UN had a very specific reaction.
Really, read this on the UN and you tell me who is delutional...
http://www.defenddemocracy.org/united-n … or-reform/
Your article is unrelated to why the UN laughed at him.
Just one of the big picture. It depends on how you view the UN. If you think the UN is this great body that is keeping world peace and all that good stuff like fighting climate change...
For me, the UN has never lived up to its ideal. Unfortunately, the reat of the world are fooled into thinking otherwise.
Crankalicious,
I apologize for going off on a tangent but the UN is a pet peeve of my. I guess I am just outraged by a body that place judgment on us as a nation, who funds most of their operations, and has done little to fulfill their duties.
I may have used this one occasion to lash out at them.
My main point of this forum, they have no right to laugh at our President who is trying to do the right thing for America and in trun for the world.
The UN did not "place judgement" on the US. it did "place Judgement" on the president of the US who simply ignores facts to the extreme.
Don't confuse the US with the president of the US. These are two different things altogether.
And as the laughter was spontaneous, even more painful for Mr. Trump, It tells something about Mr Trump and how he sees himself and how others see him.
He simply deludes himself and apparently really things he is the greatest president of the US who ever lived. This is in one word, ridiculous, hence the laughter.
Do you think Trump has been a good President? The answer will determine how you perceive his speech...
I have heard a few Presidents in an international crowd who laughs with the President. Just not one crowds that laughed at the President. It's most embarrassing for America, when most leaders know better.
It would be interesting to take a poll of foreign leaders and see how they really feel.
You didn’t answer my question. Besides not like Trump, the man, has he done anything good for America in your eyes?
Just wondering if you could list one.
Being an optimist, I found something solidly good in everyone. In case of Trump, I would settle for any silver lining. To prove it, I've knocked myself out, trying. Here is some mentionables.
1. Some say Trump is a worst megalomanic than Hitler, I said no, only as bad as Mussolini
2. Trump has put down 90℅ of news media as fake news,, replaced by Mussolini.
3. Trump's not a drunk, the mentally ill, are not allowed drugs of any kind.
4. TRump totally destroyed many of the Republican candidates. He is good at that & it was a good thing.
5. He drained the swamp to replace it with fracking oil, gas, coal ash, and fires, protected by bureau-crocs. At least he is giving grumpy old men a job.
6. Trumps Obesity, he is not circus fat.
7. Personally I got ripped off for $12,000 by Trump. The sandcastle was excellent, the Trump sign, naaah.
8. Pussy grabbing. Cats across the nation attacked their TV screen when Trump appeared. Calling cats useless and lazy. At least cats and pussies are getting some exercise, attacking or running away.
9.Trump bashes many pro Athletes, people of color, different Religions, Entertainers, Media, International Politicans, Health care, Handicap
and worst Environmentalist. Who doesn't Trump bash?. At least he won't directly bash his puppet masters.
10. About 193 countries disagree with Trump about global warming. Trump's states it's still freezing during the winter. How scientific! Climate change is giving Northern parts of North America 2 months longer growing year. In Canada there are 4 species of palm tree and banana tree and cactus that grow outdoors. Wont be long before we have no need to ship tropical fruit and have beach front property can be a luxurious investment for interior Republican states. Always a silver lining.
11.The soul purpose of a government is to protect, not to create. If the free market were run like a Government we would all be bankrupted. Who better to help us go bankrupt than Trump. Let get started with World War three, no other abuse will put these greedy Bastards in prison.
12. Trump says a few politicans are the Laughing stock of America. Trump proves it, by bringing the world great laughs. From Nato, G20 and lately the UN world leader council. Leaders were not laughing at TRump. They were laughing with each other, at TRump.
Trump is not a master at desire, focus or attitudes. He has the best special talent to bring the world together to laugh at him. Trauma and comedy are the funniest jokes in history. Trump is the Grand master wizard of traumatized comedy.
Wow, I’m glad you got that off your chest. That will be $50 for the session.
Double duty requires double charges Jack , I'd say $100 plus expenses .
Unlike Trump I'm fearless of anything. I've had professionals examined my head at times. Worst statement I got was artist have a screw loose, yet they could not find mine.
More than 70 doctors asked that Trump receive mental health tests and Trump won't do it, out of fear, what we would find.
Doctors point to many signs of possible mental health problems. None of Trump records includes a readout of the mental health tests, Yet mental evaluations are routine during physicals, particularly for patients who are 66 or older. Trump is 71. The White House has dismissed questions about Trump's mental fitness, calling them "disgraceful and laughable." They said, prior to the physical, that mental health testing was not something Trump would undergo. As most doctors and people know, there is something seriously wrong with Donald Trump.
If Donald Trump is a mental case, I want more of it. Our country needs nore people like Donald Trump, who is a successful builder, who created jobs, who is a leader, who can make tough decisions, who can negotiate fair deals....whi can fire deep state people like Director Comey...
Trump a builder, lol
I build sandcastles that live longer than most Trump's ownerships. I built adobe homes that will live 10 times longer than anything Trump builds.Trump put a sign on my sandcastle then went bankrupted.
Like Trump tower increasingly contentious legal battle with the Trump family. Like many of the towers bearing the Trump brand, 200 Riverside Boulevard isn’t actually owned by the Trumps; it simply licenses the name, which is plastered on the building in big brass letters. Most residents don’t want it any more and want to get rid of it,”
This is norm in Trump's world along with his world record amount of lawsuits.
Trump used to boast how his name would increase a property’s value by 25%. TRump being more expose, many are no longer being fooled.
We need more tRumps like we need more Osama Bin Laden's. We got 10,000 more of them ghost traveling worldwide carrying their false flag. When American should pay attention to their armed toddlers, who kill more people than terrorist do.
You need help my friend...have a great weekend!
I'm never afraid of getting help. It's the ones who never think they are crazy, who need the serious help
And it's a right-wing propaganda blog with no credibility.
Do you deny the UN has been a failure in most everything they do?
It really comes down to accountablility. Every organization can be judged by their accomplishments. Can you name one good thing the UN has down over the last 20 years?
It's only a failure in the eyes of right-wing extremists.
If it's such a failure, why has the United States and every other country on the planet has supported it for decades?
At least until now, with Trump in office.
It was a failure and still a failure and the US played the game to keep peace. It could be argued the whole Iraq war came about because of the failure of the UN to do its job....
It was after sanctions after sanctions and resolution after resolutions against Saddam that we took action...
Look at the result with thousands of deaths...
The UN, had blood on its hands.
What good is a international organization if it can’t keep peace and oust dictators that abuse human rights and harbor terrorists..?
The answer is obvious.
If it's such a failure, why doesn't Trump cut off funding it and withdraw from the organization?
I have been proposing that idea for years. We need to start over with a new international organization.
Here is the problem...
We all been told by the media how bad Trump is...
The problem is, he is not the person they portrayed.
As bad as he might be as a person, an egotist..., a pompous ass...
a womenizer...
He has done some very specific good things for the USA.
I can list them if you like but they were well documented.
The economy is top of the list.
Jobs, bringing manufacturing back, bringing investment back, neutralizing ISIS and attempting to draini the swamp in DC...all great things.
So I guess one person’s accomplishment is anothers failure...
The media doesn't tell me that Trump is bad. I can see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears every time he talks on camera.
At least you are honest which is more than the media has been doing this past two years...
The next question for you is - has Trump done anything good this past two years? In your opinion. The answer will reveal who you are and perhaps your bias.
Not at all. My economic situation has not changed a single bit other than prices gas, food and health insurance going up faster than they have in years.
Otherwise, the trends that began under Obama have simply continued.
I already know who you are and what your bias is. It's very obvious.
I state it up front. I wrote an article on my bias. You on the other hand is deceiving yourself. Your actions and words tells me and everyone that you are equally biased on the other side. Have a nice day.
Here is my article in case you missed it...
”//hubpages.com/politics/Conservative-Bias”
Here is my other article contering your claim that the recent boom is just a continuation of the Obama years...
”//hubpages.com/politics/The-Trump-Economy”
You are evading my point and your own original question. How has my situation improved?
We are living in an economic boom not seen since the 1980s-1990s.
Companies are starting to hire...
Jobs and manufacturing are coming back to the US homeland.
Our borders are being enforced...which will mean better paying jobs for new people entering the job market... including high school students.
Retiree are seeing their retirement funds increase in real value.
We are safer abroad and at home with the decimation of ISIS.
Our trade deals are being re-negotiated.
People like you and me, the tax payers are getting a reduction of their federal taxes for the first time in over 10 years.
Housing prices are on the rise.
People are more positive about their economic future.
Food stamp usage is down after a huge run up after the last recession.
I can list many other benefits that are across the board. You may not feel it directly but most Americans do feel it.
Really? You speak for most Americans?
The benefits you claim I am getting do not exist, including the so-called tax cut, which mainly benefits rich people and corporations.
It depends on how you define “rich” people. Most people working and paying taxes today are getting approx. $1200 reduction in their fed. taxes next April 15.
Here is a leading China expert who said Chinese leaders respect Trump...
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-id … 21865.html
@ Jackclee...
The wealthy are experiencing an economic boom. For most of us are not living a booming life, look around.
US Companies manufacturing jobs
we're once 50℅ in America. Today jobs in manufacturer is 10℅. If you mean and increase in fracking, electricity, oil, gas and fossil fuel. Then, yes! an increase at the expense of everyone health. Gas low cost have shot Trump's foot on coal for electricity. Wail the US dollar is greatly decreasing in international markets toward a crash. International barter systems of oil, gas gold, and goods increase, along with green energy.
If you have job in the US who cares if your life span is shortened. As long as the likes Monsanto head of Trump's drugs and food administration and huge Corperationism of synthetic products is high on the hog.
That's all we need, more walls against our free trade agreements. Trump calls Canada the worst.
High school students won't work 12hour days as slave labor farmers. They will just have trade food heldup at the Mexican border increasing cost hugely, another shot in the foot.
How do you increase wages wail in competition with international markets that are cheaper?
How do you increase Retiree funds when a 100 million baby boomers go to collect. Meanwail the national debt is on record breaking pace. Trump's math makes nonsense to the rest of the world.
Your better off training armed toddlers from killing more than terrorist do, to be fair for most of us. War and Arms race is the most lucrative business for the wealthy, using false flags.
As the tax's breaks go to the wealthy. The taxman get more money from me than I make in profits. Who is working for who?
Housing prices are on the rise, sure what new in the US for printing money and high increase of inflation.
Using 2018 inflation-adjusted dollars, the federal minimum wage peaked at $11.77 per hour in 1968. If the minimum wage in 1968 had kept up with labor's productivity growth, it would have reached $19.33 in 2017.
About 44.2 million Americans (14% of the population)are on food stamps. There some airline pilots flying your plane and he is on food stamps, then you better check his sugar levels.
Food stamps is now mostly junk food. It's Obesity that is a much bigger killer, than starvation, a hidden truth of warfare..
Here is the article from CNN -
(CNN)US President Donald Trump came late to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday morning. And within moments, he had the gathered world leaders laughing.
By the time he finished, it was a far more somber mood in the hallowed chamber, in which Trump himself said "so much history has transpired."
But on this day, he was making a history of his own.
The levity he sparked so soon into his address came, perhaps, because he was doing exactly what his audience had come to expect -- plenty of ego; little humility: "I stand before the United Nations General Assembly to share the extraordinary progress we've made. In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."
He boasted that America is stronger and more powerful than ever before: "Our military will soon be more powerful than it has ever been before. In other words, the United States is stronger, safer and a richer country than it was when I assumed office ... We are standing up for America and for the American people."...
You have to wonder which side is CNN cheering for?
This is the first time I can remember that the UN laughed at the president of the US spontaneously.
It tells a lot.
It tells us that the UN is not buying that super-ego talk with superlatives. greater, more, best, finest etc. (like a tv commercial)
It tells us that Donald Trump has no clue about world politics.
It's difficult to work with a president who is incapable of working together.
President Trump sees himself as a great statesmen, the best the US ever had...Well, I'm afraid many leaders around the world have a different perspective.
It shows us the narrow minded simplicity of the views of a president of a great country. No wonder the UN couldn't help themselves and started laughing.
Did you even hear rhe speech? Why don’t you reach your own conclusions for a change instead of letting the media define the reponse?
If you did, you would have to admit it was a good speech.
I've seen the first 15 min. and then I had better things to do as it was in my opinion a boring monotonous speech full of the usual superlatives.
And as usual he did not bother about facts.

Oh the irony.
"We need a President who isn't a laughing stock to the entire World. We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. Respect!"
(Donald J Trump, 9 Aug 2014)
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta … 6551506945
I don't even know why Trump is talking TO the UN , they have made their intentions very clear , Allow the US to pay for their national defense so they can then "afford " to be the democratic / socialists that people like Sen .Sanders promotes ?
Holy cow! The depth of your ignorance of foreign affairs is off the charts. The U.S. has contributed to the national security of other nations because it's in our national interest that they not be invaded. We have also contributed to that national security so that we can have bases overseas and set up missile systems to protect against nuclear attack and warn us if a nuclear attack is in progress.
Such a situation exists in South Korea, for example, which Trump wanted to move to Portland, but had to be dissuaded by Jim Mattis. That "national defense" as you call it, allowed us to be warned of a nuclear attack from North Korea, but Trump wants it removed to Portland, where it will take more like fifteen minutes to know about a pending attack when it will be too late.
The irony of all this is that I'm actually pretty sympathetic to the position you're taking. We need to be more judicious about who we give money to. However, we usually do so because it's in our national interest.
That is not true and you know it. We have given money, medicine, food and other stuff to third world countries and some were not for merely political gains or self preservation as you claim.
I wrote about this in my autobiography since as an immigrant from Taiwan, I and my family personally benefitted from the generosity of the US and its people. In the cases of natural disasters, our military were the only ones equipped to help as with earthquake ans tsunami and hurricanes around the world. Our people through private donantions have given generously to the red cross, catholic charities and a host of other non profit organizations. The gates foundation has helped with medicine and immunization shots in Africa and else where. We under Bush admin. gave HIV drugs to combat AIDs in Africa...I can go on and on...
What isn't true? Go read about The Marshall Plan and you get a basic idea of our foreign policy since WWII and why it exists.
He will see who (which countries) will respond to his request to check Iran
And who doesn't.
Of course her articles related to the UN laughing at the US ? Everybody knows America's economics are exploited by the Europeans in the UN , We've known this for fifty years . Too bad some here don't know history .
Kathryn , Can you believe Trump is not even two years into this incredible success story ? WHAT does the next six bring to us all ?
and if we do not re-elect him, we will get what we deserve.
I shudder to think ...
Trump is a shock to the UN , Do you know why ? They have lost so much past respect for America through the failures of presidents like Obama / Clinton / Bush ! The UN has found a new found honest respect for America , Do they love us ? No. Do they respect America and Trumps honesty once again ? Yes .
Thank President Trump .
Now we watch the UN , even if they blink and follow the stupidity of the US news media ? Trump will see it and the UN will pay .
Here is one perspective the media in the USA missed -
https://amgreatness.com/2018/09/25/trum … t-the-u-n/
My favorite lines from this article:
“This is not the usual language of diplomacy. It is the frank argot of truth: a tongue rarely heard in the echo-chambers of the United Nations with its squadrons of translators who translate clichés from one language into another swiftly, accurately, and inconsequentially. How refreshing—though admittedly, how startling it must have been to hear someone deliver an entire speech without lying.”
It's funny. I seem to remember some of you boasted that the world leaders finally respect the US president again... You know, because Trump is so respectable.
They respect our country again because we are strong and not going around bowing to shieks and apologizing at every turn...
Not according to the US press and CNN...
They interpret the laugh as mocking Trump...
I guess you didn't watch the film. I did. They laughed at him for making the ridiculous claim that he has done more for the country than any President in U.S. history.
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt all laughed in their graves.
He spoke briefly with reporters, one of whom asked how he felt about the reaction laughs to his remarks.
“Oh, it was great. Well that was meant to get some laughter, but it was great.” - Trump
Riiiight
The U.N. has gotten so benign that they don't and probably never did recognise true national leadership skills ---DUH ----Why the U.N was created to begin with ! A WWO welfare organization from the U.S. . And of course being benign is wonderful especially at someone else's expense !
To most of these extremely affable national "leaders "in the U.N Trump is a spectacle , a freak of capitalist leadership , they can't get over the fact that Trump laughs at the U.S.s Pravda Media and does so as they just keep playing the bias hate game ,as he ignores them , Who here at this time thinks good of our news media to begin with -- except those o=f you so ideologically polluted as to believe our news media and their putrid ratings ?
Castle , For a ideology that declares itself the all inclusive , all understanding , all knowing , all open minded , all open intellectualism , I've not ever quite known a people who instantly declared Trump as having mental issues as your party has done .
Trump is a street fighting New Yorker , how is that a mental defect? Believe me , I have an aversion to street fighters , or at least an envy of the brilliance of some of their survival skills , in that sense Trump is brilliant , a street fighter has no pity on P.C. fighting , he will not usually back down when challenged , he will defend his honor ,his wife's honor , his family and people's honor .
The representative political leader of the left is anything but that , they must cow-tow to the media masses , they will hide in the face of adversity , at least until the cops arrive and bolsters their group
thought sense of confidence . I would way rather an independent righteousness lead us away from the Obama weakness' than not anyday .
Your party simply cannot predict or dictate to Trump through intimidation , for instance Obama 's bowing to the foreign leaders flowing robes . your party also ignores the Obama classless ignorance in and of official protocols like at the funeral of Nelson Mandela as the Obama's attended " taking selfies " .
What a pathetic sorry excuse: The world will soon celebrate when this clown is tossed out of our white house on his flat head:
It was funnier when he acted serious about his administration being the best for a booming economy in American history, just in 2 years.
I laughed until I cried.
Here's the fool at the UN trying to hoodwink world leaders like he tries to hoodwink his dwindling number of fans: They've heard it all and know a big pile of BS when they see and hear it so it's no surprise they started to laugh when he started to lie:
Such a a disgrace we are all forced to endure this unhinged elderly man's self absorbed narcissistic retardation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ1j2hNbSXI
Trump said, GW Bush is the worst Presidents in American history. Trump sells himself as a creator and builder. After 44 years as a professional sculptor, inventor and eco village builder. I unsure you, Trump is Not, he is a destroyer.
Trump is an Environmentist greatest nightmare. Nothing has changed about the amount of wars. Trump brought back the nuclear arm race. Then punishment Nato members for not paying their high increase fees. Wars solves nothing and are most lucrative for billionaire, not for us. Trump is creating poverty and environment destruction, in which is the greatest killer on earth today. About 83℅ of animals are dead and half the plants specie's, as damage has been done. We have to stop laughing at some point or we are the most failed species ever on earth's in world history. Dogs deserve to go to heaven, not the greedy Bastards.
You are all over the place. Everything you cited was going on before Trump will probably continue long after Trump leaves office.
I live in the suburbs of Manhattan most of my life. Since the 1970s, Trump have built the Wolman skating rink in central park and many high rises on the West side and Hotels and golf courses. Therefore, your statement is a lie and easily proven. You need to quit while you are ahead. All you need to say is “I hate Trump no matter what” that says it all. No need to go into a long diatribe.
I've been in the same circle in the entertainment businesses of Trump. Built several mini putts courses, 17 world record scale snowplaygrounds grounds and so on. Had as many as three crews going on, at the same time.
Sometime I vs. Trump most often, builds golf course or rinks and so on, were more personal gain than public good. Except, Trump would claim save the day on public projects when it turns out that he didn’t hold up his end of the bargain, and the city ended up holding the bag. As I personally experienced, except he gets only to screw me once. As I, give back free advertising because at lawsuits he is the world champion.
At least people should be warned rather than continuous pile on victims.
I am not doubting your personal experience. I don’t have that luxury when it comes to Trump. I do know that in business, trust is a valued comodity. If someone is not trustworthy, you won’t be working together for very long. For Trump to survive in the real estate for 40 years, he must be doing something right. He has failed in the casino business and other ventures but so has many successful businessmen.
Only 2℅ of clients would be out to screw you, using the legal system. Trump falls into that category, because their is a new sucker born every day. Rockefellers appointed Trump as chairman in casinos.Rothschild bailed him out in his Bankruptcies. You won't ever hear Trump bashing the Zionist, like everyone else, for he is their front men.
Meanwhile...Trump just announced a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico. USCMA... stocks going towards new high and some members of Congress is asking about what appeared on a school calendar of Kavanuagh form his high school 30 years ago.
If this is not twlight zone, I don’t know what is?
Bozo Trump also falsely claimed after that embarrassing propaganda meeting with Kim Jung Un that there was no more danger from N Korea while N Korea continues to work on their Nuke Program:
There are NO real deals with Mexico or Canada, these are just delusions in Bozo Trump's little mind:
It's the old create a Frankenstein monster, and save the day by pretending to kill it or solve the little monsters problem. Fairytales is a huge bussiness, larger than ever.
So, in other words, if the economy is going well, whether or not a SCOTUS nominee raped somebody or engaged in three-ways or is an alcoholic is not relevant?
Personally, I'm positive every Democrat or liberal on the planet is an alien, out to abduct humans and perform anal probes on them. We must lock them all up without parole.
Will you now hop to it and do that? The claim is made - will you participate?
I could suspect both parties of human/Aliens abduction. Maybe Colombia is not far away enough for me.
So I take it you do not believe her allegations either, Wilderness? Is she not credible? Are the allegations against him about his drinking not credible?
I get what your saying - a single accusations should not be enough to derail a SCOTUS nomination, otherwise, any accusation, no matter how ridiculous, has to be taken seriously.
That said, it would seem that Republicans would never prosecute any rape case and generally don't seem to believe rape allegations unless they involve blood. It's a wonder any rape cases get prosecuted.
And that said, a false rape allegation would definitely be something I would not want to have happen to me or anyone I know, but then, perhaps men should not get drunk and put themselves in a position to rape somebody.
I didn’t say that. But that was exactly what happened in 1997 with Bill Clinton. He was impeached with all sort of evidence of wrong doing and because the economy was good and he was a supporter of abortion, he was exonerated and remained in office. I remember even watching an interview of a women activist talking head at the time who said she would gladly get doen on her knee and give him a BJ... I could not believe how low they would go.
So here we are in 2018, when a judge is smeared and destroyed with so flimsy evident and the word and memory of a women of events 36 years ago...brcause he is a conservative and believe in the life of the unborn.
That is EXACTLY the connection you made.
It doesn't matter if a woman is raped as long as the economy is good. It doesn't matter if a SCOTUS nominee lied as long as the economy is good because the president knows what he's doing and this must be a good nominee.
How did it come to this?
Your party, the Democrats are the one being inconsistent. They have one set of guidelines when dealing with Democrats in cases of sexual assault charges and a different one for Republicans.
It is no win situation.
This Supreme Court nomination process has given me new insight.
It is clear to me they don’t want the truth. It is a war at all cost.
No matter who gets hurt, the judge, Dr. Ford...or anyone who dares to challenge the status quo.
I am sorry but this is not how our legal system works or how our Constitution was established.
You are innocent until proven guilty and the prove is upon the accuser.
It has always been this standard.
