With Clinton though, his ratings and the Starr investigation were somewhat coincidental. Once he avoided the missteps that troubled his first couple of years in office (healthcare, the Contract with America surge), the economy carried him. The economy could carry him because the benefits of that expansion weren't universally felt, but they were sufficiently broad. He also avoided insanely divisive policies....which isn't in Trump's DNA. Clinton did garner some sympathy in the Starr investigation because of its creeping scope. Whitewater to Jones to Lewinsky to Travelgate...none of these things were related with the exception of those where WJC was being a p***ygrabber. The GOP get this now, and they're trying to cast the Mueller investigation as another witchhunt set on investigating a parallel series of unrelated matters. Except it obviously isn't...because you're dealing with a wide ranging set of potential motives to work with Russia...because Trump refused to follow financial disclosure norms+divestiture principles to promote independence...and because he hired some sketchy people with their own financial ties...and because his administration seems woefully incompetent, so we don't know if they aren't doing the basic blocking and tackling of running the WH out of incompetence (or corruption)....and because he inexplicably defends+deflects on the obvious problems these issues create. And on and on and on. Regardless, I'm not sure if Congressional disapproval is particularly useful. People don't like Congress generally because of the infighting and gridlock. But people do tend to like their individual reps.
Why not the More Money For Hookers, Ex-wives, Lawyers, Bad Rugs & Oopsie Babies Act? Reflects Trump's life up till now.
It gets much worse. Just read this. It's funny in a way, but actually it isn't funny at all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...e2b598d8c00_story.html?utm_term=.9a793dff2ec7
It's like Trumpco strolled around Garden State Plaza and hired random carbon blobs. Check out this one: David Matthews, yet another confidential assistant at the Agriculture Department, developed scented candles while also serving as a “legal receptionist” before joining the Trump campaign.
They can't allow Clovis to go before the Senate because then he'd have to testify under oath. IMO Clovis was trying to bluff his way thru this - but maybe his lawyer finally got him to face up to reality or Trump's lawyers finally got Trump to see reason.
@Boandlkramer it would appear you missed responding to this post. This kind of bullshit - holding a belief and not updating it in light of new info - is why the Russian meddling was so persuasive. We are ready to believe what we believe, no matter the truth.
