Yes, of course. That single act, which was hardly novel, set the wheels in motion. Ha!

Nice try cupcake. As I stated, politicians have always exploited divisions to some degree, Clinton is doing it here. But Trump has made an art of it. It's his daily mode of operation. Repeatedly talking **** like a 5th grader is the root of why our government is a reality TV show circus at the moment. He's made the dumbing down of government acceptable. It was never like this before Trump, on any regular basis. One off-hand juvenile comment by Clinton doesn't change this fact.

Trump feeds the flames by acting as such. Notice when he defends himself he often makes outrageous statements as a means to deflect. The media then become 'outraged' at Trump's new statement and forget the old one. Lather, rinse, repeat. Trump's no dummy when it comes to PR. He's a salesman. He relishes being in the spotlight. He plays the media as much as they play him. The media love a good story ($$$). His 'poor me' routine is calculated. Unfortunately for him, he has very little self-control and politically can't think outside of the box. For some reason he panders only to his base. The guy is a novelty, I'll give him that. Doesn't mean he's good for the country though.

What? The tone was set by the democrats who didn't show up for Trump's inauguration? Please educate yourself. This practice has been par-for-the-course throughout history. Obama's was not attended by about 20 Republicans. Big deal. Like I said, Trump's reality TV show governance style set the tone for where we are now. Everybody else henceforth follows suit, including idiot Pelosi.

Divisions have always existed, and politicians have always played to these divisions. But at no time in recent history has any President exploited our divisions like Trump. His entire Presidency is predicated on an ‘us vs them’ mentality. Look at a Trump rally. The vitriol he spews on a regular basis is unmatched by any President. So are his dog-whistles. At least under Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. politicians had some common ground whereby to sit down and formulate a compromise. Furthermore, all previous presidents at least verbally pretended to represent the entirety of the nation for the good of the country. This is non-existent under Trump. Don't agree with Trump?...sorry you're a 'loser'. Trump is responsible for setting the tone, and unfortunately his divisiveness has filtered down to everything and everyone under him. Politicians (from both sides of the isle) are now conducting themselves like 8th graders. As such, the populace follows suit. And no, it’s not going away if Trump is gone. But we need to stop the bleeding. It will take years to recover from what Trump has done.

Rudy is Italian. I think we've located one of his ancestors.

Ironically, a large part of Trump’s initial appeal was his outsider/non-politician shtick. However 4 years later he’s steeped in the mechanisms of political sleaze as much as anybody else. But on top of that, under his leadership, we’ve become a far more divided country than any other time in recent history. We can overcome and correct bad policies; we always have. Overcoming internal division is not as easy. Immense internal fracture is what I fear most with 4 more years of Tяump.

Cmon, it's not that difficult. That phone is connected to MTS, which is a Russian cellphone network headquartered in Moscow. My god, Rudy and co are complete amateurs.

This is interesting. FOX News apparently obtained and released some of Hunter's emails from his laptop. Anybody else notice something fishy about this picture?

Where are the Hillary emails Trump promised earlier this month?

Poor poor Rudy. Quick, someone give him a pacifier! Frankly, we're so polarized, probably none of these 'revelations' are gonna make one bit of difference.

…...and the Democrats respond. NYT reporting that Donald “China is the devil" Trump's tax records indicate he pursued lucrative business projects in China, operated an office there during 2016 campaign and currently maintains a Chinese bank account. Valid or not, Politics is politics But this begs the question,. Per influencing the election, what is more believable and what is more likely to stick? Trump connections to China? Or Hunter somehow forgetting to pick up a laptop with secret Ukrainian business info and child porn on it? I guess we'll see.

No kidding. And that evil Obama would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!

If that's the case, looks like Trump has some bad karma coming his way. Uh-oh! Not good! Trump implies that the late Rep. John Dingell is 'looking up' from hell https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/18/politics/trump-rally-john-dingell-hell/index.html

Opinions are welcome. I just get a good laugh out of ignorance. But I’m glad we agree that politics is politics, on both sides. As such, tell me more about the “biggest scandal OF ALL TIMES!!!!”

It will be like this

They're idiots as well. Different end of the same stick. Politics as usual. Too bad most people on this forum aren't smart enough to realize this, or if they do they have an agenda to push. We're witnessing it now with this laughable Biden scandal. But keep it up cult followers! If you try hard enough, maybe, just maybe, you can change the course of the election on siouxsports!!!

Thanks for stating the obvious. And why, like I said, it's not sticking. Political miscalculation. .

Maybe the Proud Boys can be his pallbearers.

Likely why it isn't sticking like they want it to. I mean good lord, the FBI had the laptop for a year. And here we are, 2 weeks before the election, and mini-Mussolini's henchmen start crying "OMG biggest scandal EVER!!". Give me a break.

Sen. Ron Johnson (from my home state) is now insinuating that child porn is on Hunter’s laptop. As if the original story wasn't fishy enough. Man alive, the Trumpsters are sparing no expense no matter how outrageous it gets. Reeks of classic GRU activity. From 4 years ago: Foes of Russia Say Child Pornography Is Planted to Ruin Them https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/09/world/europe/vladimir-putin-russia-fake-news-hacking-cybersecurity.html So this begs the question. How the hell would Ron Johnson know what's on this supposed 'laptop'? Oh wait, here he is with Andriy Telizhenko, one of Giuliani's shady pro-Kremlin Ukrainian contacts.

Just looked up Rudy Giuliani's history. He was married to his second cousin. No wonder he finds commonality with the Trump Cult.

What I find interesting regarding the Biden scandal.... .....and then Rudy comes out a few days ago and says this. And no, it's not an Onion headline.

Nobody had significant issues with the format before; this includes Reagan, HWB, Dole, GWB, McCain and Romney. Hmmm.. funny that it's only become an issue now that "Call the Wambulance" Donny starts complaining. And, of course, the Cult follows the leader.
