Although I'm sure she's disappointed that he is closing the Henri Bendel stores, I bet she's up in heaven beaming at this news... but she (a former registered Republican) might tease Les by asking what took him so long :))

I had not known that the Henri Bendel stores were closing! Now that I can finally fit in their clothing sizes, they close! (Not that I have tried on a piece of Bendel clothing in years....) But when I was larger I used to hate it that their largest size was 4! Or so it seemed. ;))

That is a ridiculously dumb graphic, and I would be embarrassed to have posted it.

The government doesn't control the weather in Puerto Rico anymore than it did in NC/SC this past weekend.

But it did control the embassy, its security & its response.

You're mistaken about who should be embarrassed here. The government might not have control over weather, but there was advanced warning that the hurricane was coming, and they absolutely could control their response to it. Great to see you're outraged about four American deaths, but you can easily excuse 2,975.

To beat the Benghazi horse dead some more:
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today?” McCarthy said on Fox News. (Source)

From the Failing NY Times:
WASHINGTON — Ending one of the longest, costliest and most bitterly partisan congressional investigations in history, the House Select Committee on Benghazi issued its final report on Tuesday, finding no new evidence of culpability or wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton in the 2012 attacks in Libya that left four Americans dead.

The 800-page report delivered a broad rebuke of the Defense Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department — and the officials who led them — for failing to grasp the acute security risks in Benghazi, and especially for maintaining outposts there that they could not protect.

The committee, led by Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, also harshly criticized an internal State Department investigation that it said had allowed officials like Mrs. Clinton, then the secretary of state, to effectively choose who would examine their actions. In addition, it included some new details and context about the night of the attacks on the American diplomatic compound and reiterated Republicans’ complaints that the Obama administration had sought to thwart the investigation by withholding witnesses and evidence.

The report, which included perhaps the most exhaustive chronology of the attacks to date, did not dispute that United States military forces stationed in Europe could not have reached Benghazi in time to rescue the personnel who died — a central finding of previous inquiries.

And I think your response to JPie is ridiculously dumb and I would be embarrassed to have posted it.

Anyone with good will would have known JPie was referring to the woefully inadequate response from the Trump administration to the natural disaster in Puerto Rico that no one was blaming Donald Trump for the weather.

Trump is beyond the pale for questioning the number of people who died in the natural disaster in Puerto Rico, too. It was, after all, on his watch. That is why he keeps denying the total. He has no conscience but he has a big ego and he knows it was on his watch.

(Sorry this is so late, and you posted before I did, JPie. My daughter brought on a domestic crisis in the midst of my essay.)

Thanks to both of you for posting things and being more civil than I can muster at the moment.
 
@JPie & @AGBF There was no context posted here with that graphic; no link to any article; no commentary. And I’m not even commenting on the source of the graphic. My response stands to what WAS posted.

No apology needed! I hope everything's okay with your daughter. I read your posts in the thread about mental illness and I know how rough that can be. Sending good vibes your way!

This is absolutely insane.

There is no need to secretly record him. Has rosenstein ever read a transcript of his impromptu speeches? He sounds dumber than sarah palin’s worst word salad and more demented than a sadist who wakes up in the night and makes a list of ways to out do the last terrible thing they did the day before.
There is no bottom of the barrell for him . the pit of deplorable goes as far down as the republicans will follow him.
Use the taped stuff he did voluntarily! How about when he sided with russia over the us, or when he called some nazis very fine people. Play the lester holt interview... the list or recorded malice, stupidity and incompetence would go on plenty long.
There are no need for “secret Nixon tapes” trump says it all out in front of people.

There is no question trump is obstructing justice ( he lies and says it is fighting back ) . It isnt like he is a beacon of morality. He is and has been wholly unfit from day one.
No need to secretly record him. I do agree though
He should be removed with the idea of removing him one way or the other

That was a really enjoyable rant, tkyasx. Thank you. Made my day. Deb :))
 
Trumps speech today was unbelievable. Does this idiot think he was at a campaign rally today?

I missed it. I usually find him unbearable to listen to. Want to give us the highlights, or do I have to go to YouTube if I want to suffer? (I am assuming you mean his speech at the UN.)

I couldn't use the link to "The Washington Post" because I used up my ten articles this month, so I googled the headline. I got an Australian broadcast (linked here). Dear Lord! Trump sounds the way that old American cowboy and Indian movies used to make the "Indians" talk! He said things to that sophisticated audience like "Not good." (It sounded like "Me Big Chief" or "My name Tonto".) How can we be represented to the rest of the world by this man who cannot speak our language?

And the second time was here: (from the Washington Post article)

“Later in the speech, Trump made another overzealous claim: that Germany is becoming “totally dependent” upon Russian energy — which is similar to claims he made at a NATO summit a few months back.

The German delegation’s response: more laughter.

The fact that world leaders laughed is kind of funny and frivolous. But it is worth emphasizing the sensitive diplomatic setting in which this occurred. There are cameras in the room that are recording all of this. They caught the German delegation laughing at Trump. The leaders have to know such reactions could be recorded or observed — and possibly even used against them by Trump. They did it anyway.

It is exactly, in fact, the kind of thing Trump once said should be unacceptable for a U.S. president.”

I was driving from Connecticut to Virginia and I listened to the entire 80 to 90 minutes of the "news conference", which contained no news, of course. Usually I find it impossible to listen to Donald Trump. At the beginning I found myself growing angry as he asserted again and again that these women's coming forward with allegations against Brett Kavanaugh was a "con job". (He kept repeating "con job".) After that I relaxed and let it flow over me. It was bizarre, of course, but reporters did question him, as far as he let them speak, which was never for long. What I regretted is that I will be unable to watch the hearings today. I have a doctor's appointment here in Virginia and after that the house I am in has almost no television and a very, very old computer that will definitely not stream television. I am lucky that after 15 minutes or so I may be able to send one e-mail or post something here! I hope there is a lot of discussion on Pricescope so that when I get back to Connecticut I can read it!

I watched parts of the press conference too.

I think he is “happiest” when he is lying. he said the UN wasnt laughing at him o_Oo_Oo_O
he really thinks people are this dumb. Oh and the white house edited the video part where they laughed at his bald faced lie out of their video.
Disgusting. Shameful. Is it 2020 yet?
 
Re: editing of videos.

"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy."
 
He NEVER fails to be an embarrassment.
 

More From That Trump Press Conference (The Great Intellect Version)

5. Trump Says His Preference Is to ‘Keep’ Rod Rosenstein

Trump: I’m talking to him. We’ve had a good talk. He said he never said it. He said he doesn’t believe it. He said he has a lot of respect for me, and he was very nice and we’ll see. And he’s a member of the Trump administration. In that sense … my preference would be to keep him and to let him finish up. You know, I call it a witch hunt and it is a witch hunt …

I would much prefer keeping Rod Rosenstein, much prefer. Many people say I have the right to absolutely fire him. He said he did not say it. He said he does not believe that and nobody in this room believes it. By the way, I deal with the people in this room. I was with Mike Pompeo before. We were dealing at a very high level with Japan and I was saying things that nobody in the room even understood and I said [to] them a long time ago and I was right. He said, ‘That’s not the Twenty-Fifth Amendment that I’m looking at.’ I think I can say that for Mike.
 
What - The - Freak? Yes, I know we all mentally glaze over when Trump starts talking and not making any sense. Will it not be until he is literally speaking in tongues will someone, anyone in a position of power say "Houston, we have a problem" ?
