Republicans most used reason for hating Bill Clinton...drum roll...?
Slew that was very good. Can I ask though, what about Larry Craig and that other guy who had prostitutes. Not saying its okay for anyone but why it seems the Republicans get away with without any hubbub...it just goes away?
In what ways is Donald Trump most like average Americans?
Have you watched the rioting in France? French leader Emanuel Macron is a product of the elite schools and the investment banking community. He had some good ideas about reforming labor laws and these changes have been beneficial to the French economy as a whole.But he is so out of touch with the average French citizen, that he imagined himself to be a champion in the worldwide leftist fight against global warming. He thought all French people were on board. So he pushed through a punishing tax on gasoline to discourage the common folk from driving their cars to work, expecting that they would change their habits and use public transportation instead. To his shock, his best intentions to save the world from climate holocaust were met with implacable physical resistance from the common folk who wanted to continue to drive to work by themselves.That happened because he had no idea what daily life is like for middle class working people in his country. He never had to worry about how he got to work.Unlike most of the legislative mandarins in Washington DC, the mainstream media, the deep state operatives, the K-Street lobbying lawyers, the tenured professors and the billionaire nerds in Silicon Valley who never participate in the harm resulting from their grand schemes, Donald Trump saw the disconnect between elitist policy and policy that works for the general welfare of the American population. And his policies reflect his concerns for the latter.His singular focus on American interests is hated by the elites, but is also why he has not wound up like Macron. The elites can pay Antifa style thugs to stage minor protests and can even subvert the FBI and DOJ, but the American population at large will not be burning the Capital.
Why do people have a negative opinion of Jeremy Corbyn?
I have two reasons, personally.a) This is one of the most disliked Tory governments in a long, long time. Austerity has been deeply unpopular and has had a terrible effect on our social fabric. Any competent Labour party would be 10 points ahead in the polls. The fact that Labour aren’t is entirely due to Corbyn. His uselessness and ineffectualness keeps the Tories in power. He is a useful idiot. The likes of Rees-Mogg and BoJo who circle the corpse of May’s PM-ship like vultures would only ever have a shot at power and influence facing Corbyn,b) Brexit won by what, 2%in the referendum? Where was Corbyn? Doing nothing. Doing nothing because he is a Brexiter who didn’t want to say anything because he knew it would be unpopular with Labour supporters. If Corbyn had got off his arse and campaigned against Brexit effectively and rallied his support, then he could have swung tha 2% in the other direction. Is he as much to blame for Brexit as that idiot Cameron? No. Is he at least partly to blame for Brexit? Yes.I am tired of wealthy politicians - and Corbyn is at least well-off - who are too insulated from normal society to know the effects of their beliefs on normal people. There is a kind of swivel-eyed idealism (in the philosophical sense, the denial of empirical reality) among ideologues that can only exist among people from a privileged background because they have grown up insulated from hard reality. Corbyn is far more like Rees-Mogg in my eyes than he is to a working man like Aneurin Bevan who built a great practical system of real benefit to other working people in the form of NHS. Corbyn is not a builder. He is like Father Dougal standing at the side of things with a “Down with this sort of thing” placard. Unfortunately, while this may have its place, this place is not as leader of the Opposition.Corbyn is a principled man, no-one denies it (except when it came to Brexit honesty). However, the effects of those principles are continuing Tory government and a messy Brexit which makes me wonder what value those “principles” really have.So frankly, f&&& him. I am not a fan of the SNP - their educational and policing reforsm, their centralising tendencies and nanny-statism out of the Blairite playbook but as a Scottish voter they are the only choice for a functional centre-left party.
