The 2017 General Political discussion thread, Part 2!

[Kutnupe14]

President Trump on Tuesday began deleting his tweets supporting Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in Alabama's Senate primary after Strange lost the race to former state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore.

Trump deletes tweets backing Strange after primary loss

Why? Because his guy lost the run-off? C'mon this guy's pride is so fragile that he needs to erase all the tweets he had supporting a losing candidate. I know he said he'd be embarrassed if Strange lost, but seriously?

If he could delete then retroactively tweet, he'd tweet out his support for Moore.

[virtual teal] When, for some people, no matter what you do it will be wrong; might as well do what you want. At least he didn't take knee to protest the injustice of it all [end virtual teal]

Rght, they looked at the top of his application, thought... "Hey, is that Admiral McCain's So.... APPROVED"

Sorry, Kut. That ain't how it works. I've got two kids who attended USNA and also worked as a volunteer admissions counselor for a couple of years. So, I think I have some knowledge of the process and requirements, and you have...

Not that being a legacy of Flag Officers hurts! And is also a pretty strong indicator of the applicant's citizenship. So your comment refernecing his parentage actually works against your spurious commentary on McCain's citizenship. Which was never at issue in any case...

How are Marxist leanings exposed from a college transcript?

Not going to touch the "foreign status" part of the equation are you?

Why do people continue to obsess over Obama's birth?

World Opinion of Trump and U.S. - FactCheck.org

Not surprised of the two nations that thought favorably of Trump... but man, it doesn't appear the President is increasing our image in the minds of plenty of other nations.

Europeans are only happy when we have a Democrat in office......At least since I was a kid that seems to be the case...

Mebbe they didn't have daddies? Even Kenyan daddies?

Having grown up there and remembering the Administrations of Bush, Clinton, GW Bush and Obama that is also my experience.

Because he was?

When obungle applied to college he didn't have the faintest idea that he would be president on day.
He used "foreign student" to his advantage back then for preferential treatment in admissions.
True or false, he claimed it for an advantage. It's one of the reasons why his records have been sealed to this day.

I never subscribed to the "birther" BS but have long believed this is probably pretty close to the truth.

Why are they sealed?

I'm more interested in what leadership is doing for Americans than I am europeans.

Not much apparently. Trump has a bunch of free time. All he does is work.... which kinda means, he ain't.

I think when a public figure acts like he's hiding something, he's probably hiding something. Like I said, I don't know if he didn't want to be embarrassed by ****ty grades, or if he lied about being an exchange student to get better standing, or maybe he just didn't want people to know about all the Marxist classes he took.

Is it customary for presidents to release college transcripts? Has every other president (besides Obama and Trump) released them? I know Clinton did, but he was a Rhodes Scholar, so he was probably bragging, but everyone else?

On the other side, the media are generally worse than meth heads. The public's right to know. Malarkey. I don't want to know that. In fact, I stopped watching 99% of TV news and have considerably cut down on internet reading. Except here, of course. I can always get the TRUE STORY from INGO members. Right?
