so how many men involved in consensual affairs have apologized to the consenting partner?

I watched Bill Clinton's very public apology ... two of them. That is more than most men in his position would do today and certainly would have done in the 90's.

The media is complicit in framing this issue at a time when so much is riding on what Trump is doing with the Presidency. It's like they (the media) can't be satisfied unless they are carrying the diversion bucket of water for the GOP and the Trump administration. They did it with Benghazi and now they are doing it with the Me Too movement.

Why would this even come up at a fictional book publicity appearance? Many here just can't get enough of trashing the Clintons.
They wear the historical smearing well. They are still together, they are still doing social service and charitable events. They are loving parents and grandparents. Life goes on. Democrats will never support their own as the GOP does...and they win again.

In many ways, our allies in the EU, Canada, and Mexico are our eyes and ears around the world.

Their intel helps us in many ways.

I believe the tariff punishment of the EU, Canada and Mexico, but especially the EU is pay back for ally intelligence that exposed the information that made up most of the infamous dossier. It was intel from GB and France and some from Germany that validated much of the dossier. Trump has hated GB for the roll their former intel official played in creating and sending the dossier to McCain.

He hates when anything is exposed about how much help he received during 2016 to be able to win the electoral college. He really believes and wants everyone else to believe that he is more liked and respected than either Obama or Hillary.

This trade stuff is his payback. Never mind he will destabilize work economies.

Are they getting ready to sack Joy Reid at MSNBC?

I hope not. She is not afraid to ask the hard questions. I always thought she was too good at her craft to last long. She will be going the way of Soledad, Tamara, Melissa Perry, Carole Simpson?

Truthers...much too effective in getting at the real issues. Fo that they all had to go.

Throwing our allies under the bus while embracing the autocrats around the world.

Looks like we are going to give away the store to Kim while we tariff the hell out of the EU, Canada and Mexico.

Does Presidential pardoning power extend to civil suits?

If not, we citizens ought to band together and sue a few in this administration. We standing because our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness are being violated every day, especially if you are a minority.

J. Turley is so far up Trump's butt he must be suffocating.

He trying to give Trump team a way to present their case to discredit Mueller investigation. (Morning Joe)

The real key to what happens to Trump rests on who made that call from a blocked number during

the infamous Trump tower meeting in 2016. If that is Trump on the other end of the phone it should be all over for him.

While Trump is talking about chain migration will he talk about pregnant Russian women coming here

to have their anchor babies. A scandal yet to be exposed in depth by the media. Russian and Asian expectant women seem to be allowed to make a racket out of coming to the US to have their babies making the babies US citizens. Many have been reported to book their stay in Trump branded hotels.

Since no evidence is necessary, I believe that Trump had a SPY inside the Clinton campaign.

That's how they knew Hillary was innocent of all charges and had to make up stuff.

Seems like the media, at behest of Trmpians, is now diverting attention away from Russia to China.

Wonder why. China will continue to eat our lunch because they hold too much of our debt.
