...the day after the inauguration.  The Opening Day Foundation was created in Texas on December 14.  Trump Jr. and his idiot brother were named in the filing papers as directors of the foundation.

So, I fail to see how an event that did not take place would be worse than multiple events that did with regards to the Lincoln bedroom shenanigans. I think the Democratic Party needs to pick its spots better when attacking Trump. I do believe his administration will be a target rich environment upon its arrival, but pointing out things that didn't occur vs. things that did, only gives the Republicans an easy defense and makes this a one day story. In essence, if we have a daily outrage over everything Trump, we will not be taken as seriously when we have significant corruption forged on us by him.

So basically, you're saying we can look forward to more of the same special interest influence peddling and political whoring as we have since the earliest days of the first Bush administration.

1) Even though your point about the term "whoring" was tongue in cheek, you're right.  Using said term on TER is hypocritical as hell -- especially by someone who constantly whines when others make comments he thinks aren't politically correct -- but why would we be surprised?
2) I strongly disagree with your drawing equivalencies with the Clintons because after all the heat that Trump brought on the subject of "pay for play" during the campaign, for his kids to immediately play the same game even more blatantly shows what greedy hypocrites they are.

they simply would have gone ahead with their little venture?

without the ugly pussy

I am not saying not to push back on corruption. I am saying to pick our spots better and to discern between those that are outrageous and those that are not. My concern is that if we scream about every Trump misstep, faux pas or trespass, we will not be taken seriously when he commits his truly insidious and heinous acts. You are making a finer, more micro point, and I am looking at the macro picture, but of course you are correct as you are making a very valid argument. Thanks for the clarification.

Not to mention that the Republicans missed NO example, no matter how small, to politicize anything.

Don't be LTM.  

Albeit in this hyper partisan age we now live in, that may be a dream from a by gone era.

1 - It was indeed tongue in cheek, but I really did mean it in a rhetorical sense. It makes no sense at all to me to refer to others as whores when so many of us here proudly wear the whoremongers badge. At least those of us who still actually get laid (reviewed or not).

issues. However, you must understand that gay marriage, legal pot, abortion, the environment, more gun control, and raising tax are issues that most voters don't really give a flying-F--ck about.  If they did, HRC would have won. " It's the ECONOMY they have an issue with; plain and simple.

Mainly because I'd like to see the Dems pay the "Party of No" back for years of obstructionism.  And I do think it's wise to take the higher ground when possible.  Also, as a pragmatist, I'd like to the see Dems cooperate where they can and save their "no's" for bedrock things like SCOTUS justices, simply to make it harder for the Reps to justify using the nuclear option.

Since she's birthed a few brats I'd want to be sure there ain't no stretch marks.  Yuck.

if they had been we wouldn't be saddled with the disaster that is ObamaCare and we Never would have done potentially even more disastrous Iran Deal.

We now have GOP Senate leader McConnell refusing to set up a select committee that will investigate allegations of Russian interference in our elections. If HRC had won, the GOP controlled Congress would have launched endless investigations to suss out foreign interference in her win. Fucking hypocrites, all of 'em!

Trump at a campaign rally once insinuated to his supporters that they could assassinate her.

there's a picture in the message box inside.  I can't trust you farther than I can throw Wu.  Which, given Wu's corpulent ass, ain't very far

...Because it's reserved for true whores like the Trumps and other politicians.  We don't say "whoremonger," do we?  No, we generally say "monger."  Maybe because it's a shortened version or maybe because we don't want to say "whore."

..."Fuck You" money always want mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.  The only ones who don't want more money are the losers who are satisfied being "richer than most" by having a net worth of 50K.

Guilty as charged Jake And you know my Phat Azz be wayyy more kewl! Truth is...

... the eom was an oversight. Forgot to remove when I found the photo I wanted.
