Too bad Trump was only joking about the tape recording system...

do you think that a recording of the meeting, with Trump speaking, played to the American people would have a similar affect on them that hearing Nixon saying the words he said had on the course of the Watergate probe?

Nope. I think there is a segment of his support, some in this very thread, that are either ok with it at a minimum or fully support it.

Tcby openly states it’s ok behind closed doors and the guy disclosing it is the bad guy. In this case plural.

That tells you what you need to know.



I had a weekend get together that I fronted and folks were supposed to pay me back. All but one did. My wife told me I should keep harassing the person till they paid me. To me it was worth $50 to figure out who I am dealing with.

To me integrity is acting as if the world is watching you even if they are not. To others it’s ok to act differently behind closed doors and the lack of integrity is on the part of people calling you on it.

There is a value to knowing who you are dealing with.

I’m more concerned with what policies are being passed in this country than Trump's verbiage. While both do concern me, one is far more important to me than the other.

We can quote poems from over 130 years ago all we want, but the dynamics of this country and the world have changed since then.

We either need to fix our tax and welfare system in order to help those Americans that our weak immigration policies hurt (not gonna happen with this administration), or we need to enact more common sense immigration policies. I don't see what the problem is.

It is not racist to try and help poor/middle class families in this country, which includes many different races, religions, and creeds. Trump may very well be a racist, but that has no bearing on whether or not some of his immigration policies would be beneficial to the majority of Americans and current immigrants who are here legally.

I agree but I'm still on the fence with him being a racist. Wait, even if EVERYTHING worked out? J/K

Maybe I haven't seen all of the evidence against him, but him being a racist still hasn't been proven to me beyond all reasonable doubt. That is to say, I wouldn't convict him in the court of law at this very moment.

And I'm going with the definition of racist in which someone feels their race is superior to all other races.

Edit: And I have no love for Trump or racists. I just try not to fall into the trap of confirmation bias. I see a lot of dots being connected that could be explained by something else.

I disagree and the further down the PC rat hole we go.....the worst off we'll be. Sugar coating the truth does no one any good.

Even in politics, sugar-coating, aka diplomacy, is indispensable.

The man - and I use that term loosely - both denies and confirms his remarks simultaneously. Sounds like the Queen of Hearts in Through the Looking Glass.

Norway's PM Erna Solberg was deluged with calls and emails from Norwegians upon her return from a visit to the US, where she had a meeting with President Trump at the WH. She called Trump and told him that every Norwegian who contacted her office said, "helvete nei, vi vil ikke gå til det skitne hulllandet, USA!"


I guess they like things better in Norway...

And aw cmon, in the course of any day count how many times you sugarcoat, half-lie and flat out lie. It's the glue that keeps civilizations civil.

Honesty for its own sake sounds great only in principle.

Imagine if you said exactly what you really felt or thought to me instead of what you wrote.
Or I answered with complete honesty.
