You seem to be filled w/ bullshit; I don’t have to ask why.
Presidents get to decide which desk to use, why can’t they decide what statues are in their office?
They do, except people are getting outraged about a fake news event in this case.
I think they can. Plus they get to request artwork from Smithsonian galleries to display in the White House, which is kind of cool. Here, for instance, are photos of some of the art the Obamas selected.
That was really neat, thank you. Last time I was in DC I was too overwhelmed by other thoughts to enjoy my trip to the National Gallery, exciting as it was to be there. I’d like to go back when I have the time.
How soon people forget the President who was impeached for lying about grabbing pussy in the Oval Office.
Trump should have a cigar store President made up in Bill’s image.
If you were my wife, I would drink it.
There’s no reason why the president’s office must display the bust of a former head of government of a different country who has a considerably mixed legacy.
Were it my decision, Churchill’s bust would be evicted from the building entirely and sent to a museum.
And you would rather have a President that boasted about it?
The “special relationship” aside, the whole “Obama snubbed the UK by removing the bust of Churchill” was right-wing manufactured hysteria from both sides of the pond. I remember Boris Johnson waxing idiotic about Obama’s imagined Kenyan loyalties resulting in him wanting to punish the British in some vague undefined way.
Nonetheless, Obama returning a statue on loan to its rightful owner and rearranging the decorations slightly was not a scandal nor a snub. The incident is, however, a useful reminder that those currently accusing Trump detractors of being “snowflakes” aren’t exactly immune to melting down themselves.
Don’t know about Downing Street but there are various statues of US Presidents around London (and that list leaves off this one of FDR and Churchill on Old Bond Street). I didn’t realize there was one of Reagan but frankly I don’t care. I’ve seen the others though.
You mean the one who lied about receiving a consensual sex act initiated by the other party, as opposed to the one bragging about sexually assaulting married women unreceptive to his advances?
Cut it out. If you want to Pit someone you know where to go. Even a hint of anything like this again will get you a warning.
Is it really necessary to go down the list of women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault or how HRC handled it?
Is this how you excuse whatever Trump does-by digging into the past and finding something that might be vaguely similar? Is this the New Ethics-“I can do whatever I want…as long I claim that someone else did something somewhat like it, too!”?
Tell me something: Can you remember the hell Bill Clinton went through in Congress and court? Can you remember your reaction to the claims about him?
Unless you are for Trump going through that same kind of Congressional scrutiny, unless you are as disgusted with Trump as you were with Clinton, unless you recognize the hypocrisy in supporting such sexism only when your side is involved with it, you don’t have a fucking leg to stand on.
So I’m sure you condemn Trump for his admission of similar behavior, confirmed by a large number of his victims? And if you’re going to bring wives into it, why don’t you condemn Melania for her acceptance of that behavior after it was revealed that Trump had admitted it?
Your universe is smaller than mine and that’s why Trump is president. Next time bring a candidate to the Party. Not that I think that’s going to happen. Based on these threads it looks like another 4 years of Democrats peeing on their own Cheerios and blaming the cook.
So, you can’t justify your point then?
. He’s in office because of the candidate you chose. It’s going to be a long dry spell if that’s the best your party can do.
Yes, I can absolutely justify not voting for Hillary. Her career has been corrupt all the way back to Whitewater.
The answer then is, no you can’t. Thank you.
I don’t know what the hell you are responding to, since what you say has nothing to do with what I wrote. I’ll come back when you decide to respond to the posts in this thread, and not the ones in your head.
