Well as I am a Canadian, I have no dog in the hunt concerning what happens within US borders. Manifestly however, he has been a train wreck for relations with US allies, and that does concern me.
So, in the unlikely event of a Russian seizure of land in your far north, you don’t think the U.S. will pull your chestnuts out of the fire? Get serious man. Trudeau is just another liberal, but he knows full well that the U.S. will protect Canada even if it means WWIII, and keep sea lanes open even if Trudeau decides to ship tar sands oil to China.
 
Maybe so but I’ll bet you enjoyed every moment Trump spoke about Obama’s birth certificate.
 
Understood but isn’t the other side trying to use leverage as well?
 
Actually I never paid
any attention to Trump until he was in the presidential race

Who knows, but why should we care about other country’s leverage? Our concern is America’s interests, first.

OraLabora:
I rest my case. Anyone voting for a man like Trump just to get a conservative on the SC is seriously misguided if he or she thinks this will overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Never mind that he has undermined the US’s relationship with nearly all its allies while chatting up Kim Jong Il and Vladimir Putin.
What a ridiculous assumption. Voting in Trump Stopped HRC from voting in another activist judge that would continue to erode constitutional norms. The correct type of Judge s on the supreme court is way more important than who you have as a president for 4 or 8 years. The next prez that comes along can demo;ish everything Trump is doing just like he did Obama’s. The US President in my opinon is one of the weakest politicians in the world. He can do nothing without congress and the senate. Ex orders quickly fold when an opposing prez comes in. HIs greatest power is to veto.
Usually when we talk about moving the goal posts in an argument it is about making the goal harder to achieve. But here you are moving the goal posts to make the goal easier to achieve (but it is still moving the goal posts.)

@OraLabora’s claim was that voting for Trump is not going to overturn Roe vs. Wade. You say “what a ridiculous assumption” and then proceed to explain how Trump is better than Clinton and other generalities, with nary a mention of even the possibility of overturning Roe. Apparently OraLabora’s claim was not so ridiculous after all, since you couldn’t even address it directly.

Okay but how much leverage does one have when no U.S. bank will lend to him? And his brand name seems to wearing thin. Just sayin’
 
To me this was just another trick for them to control the media for 24-48 hours with the Kavanaugh hearings underway. Notice how the protesters tried to disrupt the hearings?
I seriously doubt this was written by anyone in the administration. The New
York Times is concocting a story.

Do you really think the Times just fabricated it? That seems beyond unlikely. You can see my post above to learn what I think of this whole situation, but I doubt very much that it’s just a fabrication.
 
The desperation of those opposed to Trump is stunning
The ongoing nothing burger collusion scandal
Nothingburger? I don’t know. I can think of a couple of people who are on their way to prison.
Stormy Daniels
Well, not exactly a “nothingburger.” Lesser scandals than an extramarital relationship with a porn actress, along with cash payment of hush money, have brought down plenty of men before. Ask Gary Hart. Or John Edwards. Or Larry Craig. Or Wilbur Mills. Or Dennis Hastert. And the list goes on and on.
Omarosa Manigault was brought into the White House by Trump himself. She’s an embarrassment, to be sure, but all the blame for that lies at President Trump’s feet.
John McCain
That’s been re-hashed here endlessly, but Trump brought this whole thing on himself. All he had to do was not insult a war veteran who fought and was severely wounded, tortured for years, and imprisoned, in a war Trump himself chose not to serve in. If I remember right, he claimed his own personal war was not catching a venereal disease at nightclubs.
Bob Woodward book and this op ed piece by an anonyomous staffer
The op-ed piece? I believe it is genuine. I’ve detailed what I think of it in an earlier post, but I think it’s genuine. I haven’t read the Woodward book, so I can’t post an opinion.
 
There has been speculation as to who the source is.
I’m sure there has. No surprise there. And there will be speculation until the source is exposed and confirmed. Whether that will be tomorrow or years from now, I don’t know.

It’s Deep Throat all over again.
 
If it’s genuine then the author needs to come forward.
Again, I direct you to my post above, and you’ll see that I’ve explained quite clearly my opinion of this whole thing.

I don’t think you’ll find anything there to object to.

That’s precisely what dedicated Trumpers think. His “fake news” & “enemy of the people” campaigns have worked, just as he planned.
 
I think that any SCJ nominated by HC would have found more penumbrae and emanations to justify keeping abortion legal, but Trump seems to want to nominate those who are strict constructionist, who may find that “medical privacy” doesn’t actually cover collusion to murder.

so while voting for Trump did not guarantee that Roe v Wade would be overturned, at least it didn’t guarantee that it wouldn’t, as HC’s election would have.

That’s very odd of you. Do you think poor writing is some sort of contagious disease?
