She’s absolutely right. Hillary was a terrible hawk. I’m no republican or Trumper, but I recall her intervention in Libya and her disdain for all things in the Middle East not Israel.

Susan Sarandon helped create the problems we are experiencing by pushing her Bernie or nobody concept , hence ended up with Trump. I truly believe this country would have been a hell of a lot better off had Hillary Clinton become President.

Trump Must Face Rape Accuser Carroll's Defamation Lawsuit

A judge rejected President Donald Trump’s argument that living in Washington means he can’t be sued in New York by an advice columnist who claims he raped her two decades ago and then lied about it.

The decision denying Trump’s bid to dismiss the case, revealed on Thursday, is an early victory for E. Jean Carroll, who went public with her allegations in a June magazine article and sued in November. The judge also denied Trump’s request to delay the exchange of evidence between the parties.




Trump failed to include a written statement supporting his claim that the case should be dismissed on the grounds that the court lacks jurisdiction, New York State Supreme Court Justice Doris Ling-Cohan said in her ruling.

“There is not even a tweet, much less an affidavit by defendant Trump in support of his motion,” the judge wrote.

Trump’s lawyer in the complaint, Lawrence S. Rosen, didn’t return a call for comment.

Very sorry to see that anyone still supports a man that is so heinous, depraved, and void of decency.

I can not even imagine their lack of judgement. They must be poisoned by spite.

It’s worth it. We stood in line 5 1/2 hours in Dallas for the rally. Doors closed 3 people ahead of us. Reached capacity. Watched outside. It was a blast.

Preet Bharara Goes OFF on ‘Pathetic’ Doug Collins: What’s He Ever Done for America But ‘Preen and Sound Stupid’

Former U.S. Attorney (and current CNN contributor) Preet Bharara took serious issue with Congressman Doug Collins (R-GA) after the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee curiously claimed that “Democrats are “in love with terrorists.”

The Georgia congressman made the comments in response to a rhetorical question from the eponymous host about Democrats, following criticism of the airstrike which took out Qasem Soleimani.

“The Democrats are, tomorrow, talking about constraining [President Donald Trump’s] authorities as the commander-in-chief, vis-a-vis Iraq,” Dobbs said. “How venal, how vapid can one party become?!”

“They’re in love with terrorists,” the congressman said of Democrats. “We see that. They mourn Soleimani more than they mourn our Gold Star families who are the ones who suffered under Soleimani.”

Bharara tweeted:
