I'm talking about how the GOP politicians at the time tried to spin it, all of them getting the vapors about Clinton defiling the office of president. Including Newt Gingrich, the guy who told his second wife he wanted a divorce as she lay in her hospital room after cancer surgery.
If you were alive then, you would remember the non stop condemnation from the right, - unless you no longer care to admit how important being a fine Christian human being used to be to the GOP, now that our current GOP president in the very opposite of a fine Christian human being.
I was never a Christian. That approach is kind of lost on me. The GOP is morphing. No longer southern gentlemen quickly resigning at the hint of scandal. Those days are gone, I'm 63 by the way. Now it's a mouthy New Yorker, giving as good as he gets. Frustrates the hell out of the left, as he reads directly out of their political playbook. President Trump goes by his own political playbook, frustrates the hell out of true red blooded conservatives.

I understand that you are talking about Trump defending himself, but how is this from the left's political playbook>? it seems to me like he is breaking pretty much every political and social more associated with past presidents.
and I get that you love that. I think it is kinda sickening.

I was describing what was happening. How you got the (bolded) out of it, I can't quite fathom. You usually don't do the premise/posturing thing. As in posting something you have made up, and then answering yourself. Are you making yourself sick ?

I thought they were deplorables, clinging to their guns and religion ? Anyway, Trump has game when it comes to mouthy Democrats. He takes it directly back to them.

And from other things I've heard...not "deep" about much else either. But it does look like he's very good at implicating himself!...not enough smarts to not do that.

I've never seen the Democrats this freaked out. They're running scared and it's fun to watch. Shifty Schiff's Ukraine set-up has not only backfired, it has exposed Biden- and it has done so just as it was supposed to serve as a smokescreen for the three bombs getting ready to drop-- Huber, Durham investigation, the Horowitz IG report- and the funnest of fun parts yet-- Barr and Durham traveling to Europe to, among other things, listen to the Mifsud deposition in Italy. Even liberal lunatic Carl Bernstein while being interviewed about the Ukraine whistleblower hoax expressed concern, "Some of what the President is talking about, when he is saying, oh, I want you to talk to Barr. Barr is trying to deliver and I have this as do other reporters from other sources to deliver evidence that perhaps this has all been a deep state conspiracy, just like Donald Trump alleges."
Now, on the outside he wants us to think he thinks it's a cover story- but the fact of the matter is that in an interview where they're still talking about Trump "covering up" the phone call he ended up releasing-- it is in that context that you have to understand that it's a tell. He's tipping his hand- he's warning the media: you better come up with a narrative for what Barr is about to drop on you.

He'd looked really good at his press conference yesterday when ask a question about Biden: ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? He really showed those mouthy Democrats.

He's lost his tenuous grip on reality. Now he's openly calling for China to investigate his political opponents. The man just never learns.

If all this is an elaborate act on Trump's part then he deserves a freaking Oscar. Not even Leonardo DiCaprio is a good enough actor to be able to pull off hte level of "fake" bat shit crazy stupid arrogant SOB character that Trump is playing right now.

What a fucking idiot! After all this business about using his presidency to ask foreign powers to investigate his domestic rivals, he triples down and does it AGAIN...on the WH lawn, in front of reporters. It's like he doesn't remember what happened last week or even yesterday. Or even an hour ago.

‘Please Guide Me In My Darkest Hour Lord,’ Prays Trump Kneeling Before Portrait Of HimselfWASHINGTON—Lighting candles at the altar before lowering his head in reverence, President Donald Trump prayed for the lord to guide him in his darkest hour Thursday while kneeling before a portrait of himself. “You, the all-seeing, all-knowing, he who stands above all other beings, in my time of need, please show me the way,” said Trump, gazing into the eyes of his portrait and asking for the kind of strength that can only be granted by the almighty himself. “Eternal one, king of kings, I have always served you dutifully and have never forsaken the quest for your glory. In all your omnipotence, I beg that you shine a light and show me how to strike down your enemies. If delivered from this trial, I will spread your word to the ends of the Earth and make sure all of humanity sings your praises.” Complete article here: ‘Please Guide Me In My Darkest Hour Lord,’ Prays Trump Kneeling Before Portrait Of Himself

Please compare and contrast the level of ontological certitude you felt when Hillary was six weeks from dying in 2016, compared to the Dem party dying in 2019?
Cause I just saw an interview with Clinton this weekend, and I have to say, she looked pretty spry for a dead woman.
For a grandmother looked very good plus sharp with her answers to questions put to her...there to promote her new book but didn't shy away from some tough questions that had nothing to do with the new book...unlike the Donald and his wavering and changing the topic or just ignoring questions he don't like.... More and more shows country really f'd up in choosing her opponent...shown to be the case daily....even with so called baggage , e mails...White Water...Benghazi...Pant suits...Husband with loose zipper...

Okay, I will ask the president of Finland a question. "Mr. President, are you embarrassed having to waste your time sharing the stage with and listening to this ridiculously pathetic and stupid little man?"

After all, Trump is trying to subdue, destroy, malign and smear the other side. Maybe I should call Nancy, and tell her she should adopt it.

In fact, if they get rid of Pence first, the Senate will not convict Trump, unless they have another option for an R president. I say leave Pence in place.

It is in the hands of the Senate, which is ruled by King Penis McConnell.

you lost me there. I understand that you are talking about Trump defending himself, but how is this from the left's political playbook>? it seems to me like he is breaking pretty much every political and social more associated with past presidents.
and I get that you love that. I think it is kinda sickening.
I was describing what was happening. How you got the (bolded) out of it, I can't quite fathom. You usually don't do the premise/posturing thing. As in posting something you have made up, and then answering yourself. Are you making yourself sick ? actually, I have been sick for over a week. good guess.
I may have interpreted the "makes the left squirm" remark. did you mean that TRUMP likes that, and you don't? if so, I apologize, unequivocally.

I said it frustrates them, not squirm. I don't like the partisan bickering from either side.
