When you need a sleazy lawyer don't be surprised when he turns out to be sleazy.

When you need a sleazy lawyer you are a sleaze, IMO. I could be wrong; if you have an argument against that bit of logic I'd like to hear it.

It sounds to me like you're saying Trump is sleazy. And maybe that's OK with you; you may have other reasons to support him. But are you saying he's a sleazy human being? Does it occur to you that he could be conning his voters on a massive scale?

Even if you want no abortion rights, why Trump? Pence would fit your agenda quite well, which is why not many Democrats really want to impeach Trump.

Pence would be a much better choice for anti-abortion folks. Plus he'd piss off Libs just as much, especially on gay rights.

It seems like the sunk cost fallacy being applied to politics: He's already president so let's ride it out.

I can't think of many people I would hate more as President as Pence. But Trump is definitely on the list.

On my Facebook feed some were taking joy in the vandalism against Betsy DeVoss’s yacht. I thought that was disgusting.

But I thought the Russian Guards were very clever.

While I hardly approve of vandalism, I'm not shedding crocodile tears about one of many of Betsy Devoss's many yachts. Also, it's very possible, that it wasn't vandalized at all. It's a 40 million dollar yacht that sustained less than $10,000 in damages.

Ehh, I figured that it was probably just something like spray paint, as it was. Cheap, relatively easy to do, and get away clean from.
 
Someone untied it and it scraped against the dock. The DeVoss family will need to use one of their other 9 yachts while it gets repainted.
 
Hillary was holding up a Russian fur hat at one of her speeches. Guess it was just to hot to wear it.

. For an apropos example, the simple english phrase "out of sight, out of mind" was translate from english to russian and then from russian back to english. The result was the phrase "invisible lunatic". While that has a certain strange logic to it, clearly the idiom has literally been lost in translation.

And don't ask for a reference. That one dates back to the '90s so no hope of that.

I actually heard that one in the 70s. For some reason, my brain is connecting it with a Michael Frayn novel "Tin Men."

Edit: and the phrase "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" was translated as "the whiskey is strong, but the meat is underdone."

I love how quickly and easily some have been manipulated into claiming that the Russians were actively helping Clinton win. I mean, it wasn't even a fortnight ago that Putin himself clearly and unequivocally said that he wanted Trump to win.

She was keeping it out of Trump's reach when he mistook it for another furry object. He does tend to get grabby whenever anything furry gets near his little hands.
