So many in Congress arrive with little or no money, and walk out 20 years later multimillionaires on a salary of (now) $174K a year. Exactly how do they do it? <_<

Cabinet members are chosen for connections; political and corporate. Should they be? Some would argue nope, others would say "of course, those connections are valuable".  Would someone serve in a Cabinet if not for the "benefits"? Should someone serve in a cabinet if they are serving for "benefits" and taking advantage of government connections? 

Anyhooooo this trip was cancelled. As in it did not take place. So, she was wrong to not have the meeting? I am confused here. If it didn't happen, why is it a story? If she has no affiliation or stake in the family's company, why is this an issue? The argument could be made that she is in an ideal situation to "rescue" the US shipping industry knowing what she does about the Chinese shipping industry. 

Anything can be painted as nefarious, regardless of how innocent it really is. Ms. Chao could end up being evil personified, or the savior of the US shipping industry. Or, this could be another NYT hit-job. Only time will tell.

Could go in the media thread too -- but considering this is hitting right as he's going to London... 

"I didn't know that she was nasty."  That seems to me that he called her nasty.  What am I missing?

He didn't know she would say nasty things about people. IOW she was nasty to him.

Funny how the left suddenly has no concept of how the English language works whenever Trump says something they can pull out of context.

The report is still accurate.  The Trump official war room can say his statement was taken out of context.

Oh come on man. Taking things out of context shows no political stripe.

oh my lord DR,  please tell me you are not trusting one scintilla of anything in this "report." "

 

Listen to this again and then ask

 

In a shocking report from whom?????

 

Kerrys deep ties are known..wtf does that mean..thet he has spent countless hours in negotiations with them? I guess Trump's deep ties to North Korea are known.

 

The same act Flynn was spied upon...umm dude plead guilty..he was not spied upon.

 

they were photographed" and then show some picture of Kerry from like 8 years ago. 

 

This is just such a joke, honestly, anyone who buys this ar face value scares the hell out of me as someone you say you despise..a non-thnking partisan hack who can only see one side of an argument.

 

That is the jokiest of joke "reporting" i have ever seen

what did they pull out of context? Please give context and full explanation then. More just locker room talk I guess? 

 

I mean who cares, but to say its pulled out of context is just not accurate...its on freaking tape.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't get what the fascination with Megan Markle is.  Yeah she's kinda hot, but there's plenty of hot women out there


Princess Sparkles? Gee why ever wouldn't someone be simply fascinated with her? ?
