Is there a verse that you base this on? Just so I have it straight, it is OK for him to brag to others that he assaults women sexually because he has never been convicted of this crime.

But it is unconscionable that a woman would repeat this to these four girls who are promoting his candidacy. The fact that there is no evidence that this woman ever assaulted anyone sexually is no longer relevant.

Sounds very two faced to me.

I prefer the Bible:

Ps 18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

I do not agree with the pundits saying that Trump gave away too much and was played by Kim.

If in fact he has moved the negotiations into his world of real estate development, then Trump will win. This is dependent on the idea that Kim wants to be a playboy dictator with billions pouring in, living a life hobnobbing with movie stars and NBA stars, and be cheered wherever he goes as a rock star. It seems more likely to me that Trump's temptation will have more traction with him than the sales pitch of the left (transition to Democracy, give up your Nukes and trust us, we won't have you killed).

I had that thought too -- Trump has baited Kim with some vain glory -- not just in NoKo -- but on the world's stage.

Right, Trump hit Kim with the old Bait and Switch con game, something he has years of experience with. How long before he starts saying that Kim is not keeping his part of the deal?

Trump threw South Korea and the U.S. military under the bus by agreeing to halt military exercises without consulting or even informing them in advance. No problem. Trump will likely find fault with North Korea's compliance with the agreement in time for the military to go forward as scheduled.

What? How is suspending war games throwing them under the bus? He didn't cut their budget, didn't scale back, didn't reduce our military or our strength. Now we have a card we can play at any time "resumption of war games". In the meantime we save a tremendous amount of money.

Also, I imagine the US can now play these war games on computer simulations with reasonable results.

Ole Bernie is a class "act." He gets screwed by Hilary and the DNC, so he attacks Trump.

Just last week Perez at the DNC stuck it to Bernie again.

Lock them up for what they did to Burlington College.

People that think like you always want to lock people up. That's why the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world because of its diversity due to immigration. Other nations are much more homogeneous. It's also common for many European countries to hide their exploding crime rates due to immigrant populations that refuse to assimilate.

It goes both ways. Funny how you want Trump impeached without reason.

Funny how you just make stuff up to support your biases. A disproportionate percentage of the incarcerated in America are Black Americans not immigrants. But, i guess from your white nationalist POV, black Americans are immigrants.

There are plenty of reasons to impeach Trump beginning with his flagrant, repeated violations of emoluments clause of the Constitution the most recent and glaring example of which is by making a deal with Beijing over Chinese telecommunications company ZTE.

I am well aware of our incarceration rate and am very sure it is not due to locking up elite political operatives.

Perhaps if a few of our crooked politicians got locked up, there would be a "trickle down" effect. What do you think ZNP?

Well, that's not what I stated, so, so what?
