Not sure any president has ever had so many porn stars ignoring their payoffs to dish the dirt on him?
Clinton obviously a serial philanderer & it didn't end well for him
Melania must be thrilled, with tonight's stormy Daniels interview
The new national security advisor is another wannabe hard man - keen on sending other people to fight wars, not so keen on going himself so joined the home guard to dodge the draft. Typical right wing bampot hypocrisy
Karen McDougal now claims to of had an affair with trump
it's getting pathetic now this media hounding. must be a year now , i'm sick of this crap in the news daily, on par with brexit talk.what relevance does a woman that had an affair with an old man got to do with anything? Then you have these stupid snl sketches showing up on youtube which are just plain cringey and embarrassing. Has nobody got anything going on with their lives that they watch these jimmy (insert surname) shows just to see what trump diss they can give.

@rmacattack - I wonder if it's a harking back to the day when politicians were characters rather than corporate yes (wo)men? In the 1970s there were the likes of Wilson, Heath, Healey and in the 1980s the Thatcher and shadow cabinets. Today there's really only Boris Johnson with his amiable buffoon persona and perhaps Jacob Rees-Mogg (not forgetting Dennis Skinner!) who stand out.
The fact that Trump makes no bones about lying (see the comments about his talks with Trudeau) but is also a narcissistic petulant bully who just happens to hold the most powerful political job in the western world is manna from heaven for the chattering classes.
As Henry Kissinger noted, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. JFK, perhaps the POTUS most revered in recent times, didn't exactly play at home all the time.

It would get you a fail on a lot of security clearance tests if you were still keeping it a secret.
A lot of Christian right wingers don't approve of affairs
You end up with a leader with no moral authority, who is a laughing stock.
The bigger issue is he has failed to achieve anything significant his budget plans got scuppered this week too

Trump isn't delivering normal - blame him. The firings, sex scandals, inappropriate behaviour, failure to do the right thing has been brought on himself.
Odds on Bernie Eccleston getting a whitehouse appointment are starting to narrow
Trump isn’t delivering normal – blame him. The firings, sex scandals, inappropriate behaviour, failure to do the right thing has been brought on himself
Because literally none of those things have ever taken place in Washington before... it’s even amusing that you are referring to “sex scandals” based on something he’s alleged to have done years before he was President, given Clinton, JFK and LBJ’s philandering while in office (and THE office...)
The bigger issue is he has failed to achieve anything significant
I note youve tried this one for some time, without ever defining what “significant” means.
Stuff that hasn't happened - record turnover of staff in the whitehouse, whats the record for affairs and sexual harassment allegations (oh and for irony the precedent for the current harassment case was due to the case against Bill Clinton as lead by Kelly Ann Conways husband), his ignoring of advice from people who actually know what they are doing etc.
Border Wall? Nope
Immigration Controls? slashed and crippled and in court
Tax Reform? Just, though spending cuts were rejected in the current spending bill to avoid a shut down
Affordable Care? Still there
What has he actually delivered ninfan? What bits of policy is he winning at?
I notice you have no real answers as usual.
Because literally none of those things have ever taken place in Washington before
Do you really want to use Clinton as an example? I cant see the rabid right crying for investigations like they did for Clinton. Its odd how the moral majority are quite flexible with their morals isnt it?
It really is odd how all these outstanding Christians are still standing behind him and not condemning him for adultery etc.
So now he's threatening to veto the finance bill, because the democrats have abandoned Dreamers. Even by trump standards this is weird
Yep, Trump is the kid who does the exact opposite of what he is told to do, he isn't playing politics he is playing look at me. Yes we are all looking, some are looking quite closely, I believe Miss Storm in his Pants is airing her interview shortly, should make for good viewing, who is hoping there is a birth mark?
Unfortunatly like the UK all this sham is doing is holding back progress and stagnating things, it's not going to be good in the long term.
I guess it's also taking ninfan a little while to compile the list of Trumps achievments as opposed to the top 10 tweets
I wonder if Twitter should bill US government for "services rendered" now that the US is governed via Twitter??
Hmm Mike, who to believe? You or everybody else:

Wow that top 10 from the hill is awesome, be nasty to cuba, make a stupid mistake in Israel, pull out of something (yep the only thing he has got into is women who are not his wife), his immigration plans are in the court etc.
And yes today screwed up a bipartisan budget deal.
Ah your the other idiot that fell for that one, you promise it but defer it so you don't actually have to do the monumentally stupid thing.

Ah, a bit like like closing Guantanamo then?
Funny how you lefties never got upset about any of Obama's lies isn't it?
You didn't appear too fussed about the sex scandals either:

So you want everything investing properly? We should start with pussy grabbing or sexual assault as it's better known.
At least he's getting the budget deficit down like he promised........
“What has he actually delivered ninfan? What bits of policy is he winning at?”
Eh, leadership for bigoted xenophobic ****holes. I though that much was obvious
The thing is politics has always been dirty, always been scandal. But now it's the new hip trend wagon to trump bash. The new saturday night trivial topic. Every politician ever was an asshole and everybody on here knows that.
Don't be silly.
So we should ignore corruption, blackmailable actions, and possible illegal activity?
I've met a number of deeply honerable and trust worthy politicians who are working for the good of people and progress, not everyone has to be an arsehole. Trump promised to drain the swamp, remove corruption, he has only made it worse.
Persoanlly I think it is very important to know the depth and penetration (no not that one) of Russian involvement in the election, that is the main thrust of what is going on.
The actions around Mullers investigation is getting close to a watergate type situation if he tries to overstep his authority, that is news worthy.
Next to that there have been a number of payments tosilence people, there is possible legal implicaions of those to Miss Daniels depending on who authorised them, if laws have been broken charges should follow.
Trump is a big boy, he tells everyone how tough he is, I'm amazed any of this even gets a tiny flinch of a reaction from him.
If not he really shouldn't be doing the job.
Don’t forget the nepotism.
I reckon it’s time to get the popcorn In as he seems to have got rid of the people holding him back so we should be seeing the full on trump soon.

Lol, are you still whining about the election being rigged?
Its a fantasy - even Obama admits it:
“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even — you could even rig America’s elections, in part, because they are so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,”
🙂
mmm, that was 2016 and I'm not sure anyone would agree anymore that the tools, skills and data are out there to allow elections to be influenced when they are close run. If interference didn't work then there would have been no point in taking any action

Lol, are you still whining about the election being rigged?
Who said it was rigged? Are you warming up for another 3 page semantic tantrum?
There certainly seems to be enough to keep Muller occupied and pressing charges
along with the guilty pleas it seems that a lot of people who were within the inner circle had non disclosed and illegal contact with the Russian government and money changed hands, I think we would all like to see the full extent of the investigation here.
Back before widespread social media, "rigging" an election required a physical act, usually to try to change the votes in the actual ballot box.
Today, it's a lot simpler to beam "suggestions" into peoples homes, especially when you target the people you already know are likely to be suggestible to those suggestions!
ie, you flash up an notice to a single mother with "TRUMP BACKS CHILDCARE"
or, to a guy who works in the steelworks "TRUMP PUTS INDUSTRY FIRST"
etc, etc.
And when you do that on a large scale, which with modern tech is easy (ie you send out literally MILLIONS of those notices) the effect is measureable.
Ninny’s obsession with Trump and ‘lefties’ is bordering on the pathological, it seems to me, his blindness to the clear deficiencies in Trump as a person and his ability to actually govern, becomes clearer with every post.
and meanwhile

Hundreds of thousands of people are protesting gun in the US
https://twitter.com/BBCJonSopel/status/977575434387906561
With opinions shifting it will take some level headed policy and leadership to react to this, there is a big chance if momentum is maintained this will be another huge issue in November,
blindness to the clear deficiencies in Trump as a person
Name me a person without flaws.
You,Ninny.
You are the perfect human paradigm of rigorous intellectual analysis,and rational argument.I feel a little light-headed,I'm just going for a lie-down.
Donald Trump, the man who claims to be Brave and Fearless, who would run, un-armed against a guy with a machine gun.
And yet, runs from a group of school kids who come protesting to his front door.........
If it was in Vermont,those kids could be legally carrying concealed handguns,without their parents permission,no wonder he's scared.
Friday after a head-spinning series of presidential decisions on national security, trade and the budget that left the capital reeling and his advisers nervous about what comes next.
The decisions attested to a president riled up by cable news and unbound. Mr. Trump appeared heedless of his staff, unconcerned about Washington decorum, or the latest stock market dive, and confident of his instincts. He seemed determined to set the agenda himself, even if that agenda looked like a White House in disarray.
Inside the West Wing, aides described an atmosphere of bewildered resignation as they grappled with the all-too-familiar task of predicting and reacting in real time to Mr. Trump’s shifting moods.
Aides said there was no grand strategy to the president’s actions, and that he got up each morning this week not knowing what he would do. Much as he did as a New York businessman at Trump Tower, Mr. Trump watched television, reacted to what he saw on television and then reacted to the reaction.

I guess if you ran a business like that it would work really well
Lol, are you still whining about the election being rigged?
Are you still here?
well today's big journalistic topic should interest a lot of you's on here today. I dont think ive ever seen so desperate scraping the bottom of the barrel interviews like this before. As i said a few posts up it's cringey and embarrassing what these democrats are pulling on the american people now.
I dont think ive ever seen so desperate scraping the bottom of the barrel interviews like this before.
Do you not remember in the Obama era there was that utter nutjob who got spent five years getting loads of airtime and coverage by claiming that Obama wasn't really American and demanding that he publish his birth certificate? (and then claiming it was fake when he did publish it).
Wonder what ever happened to that guy?
I dont think ive ever seen so desperate scraping the bottom of the barrel interviews like this before.
Did you miss all the Fox love-ins with the Donald?
The porn star stuff certainly is cringey, bottom of the barrel stuff, but that's where we're at now, it seems. If you potentially have a president who fails to declare election-related expenditure after paying off his flings on the quiet, and perhaps even threatening them to keep quiet, then the American people have to look down into the gutter to see him.
In other news, when even some Media hack lawyer doesn't fancy representing you, you really do have problems.
As i said a few posts up it’s cringey and embarrassing what these democrats are pulling on the american people now.
What this bit?
*disclaimer: i support no political parties whatsoever, i just want normal news and tv back.
Who said this was democrats? This is accusations of illegal campaign finance, threats, pay offs and hypocrisy. For somebody not on any side you seem to think we should all keep very quiet about this?
This adds weight to a narrative of pay offs and silencing people with issues, and complaints.

Like this doesn't happen in every department and industry in the whole world?
Like this doesn’t happen in every department and industry in the whole world?
You saying it's OK then? What about the campaign finance details above - thats illegal if proven
So your argument is that we should just accept corruption and law-breaking from world leaders because other people do it too?
You don't think it is important to hold them to account or try to ensure elections are as fair as possible?
