Just waiting on the next failed promiss, and justifications from the right.
It is one of the many broken promises that are going to become evident, soon. Get used to it and decide how many there has to be before you start calling him 'just another lying politician.' At least some of us who voted for him had our eyes wide open and knew he would not even attempt to do some of the things he promised. We just have to salvage what we can out of the promises he does keep, and try to imagine what it would have been like if he had not won.
Yeah but this was his perfect opportunity to "DRAIN THE SWAMP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1. remove her security clearances for life. State that while it seems that nothing was done that rises to the treason level, the poor judgement shown in the handling of classified information rates the same solution as everyone else gets. Its a minor victory because she wont be elected to anything again, but it would show law and order.
#2. pardon her. Right wrong or indifferent she would have a presidential pardon for life, over the email scandal. Its a win win. He looks magnanimous, she is assumed guilty.
However the cynic in me says best buds stick together.
Trump has been pretty straight forward on what he plans to do since his election. Yes, he has eased off on a couple things such as Obummer Care, but I think he will at least try and repair it. I don't think it will be the monster that it is now. I'm actually in favor of some kind of health care system. But it should be strictly voluntary and it shouldn't cost people with the means to get their own coverage.
However, I don't see how it can be done without the whole medical profession giving up some wealth, and you and I know that ain't gonna happen, least wise not voluntarily.
But the wall? I don't think he's backed off on it and I feel it's a challenge to him. I feel he'll do it.
I think what Trump says now that he's elected he'll do.

Congress will keep going on it.

1. This is what his aide said.....
2. Trump has said it isn't off the table...
3. It's Yahoo News fer Christs sake...
4. Prosecuting Clinton was never a "campaign promise"...it was a threat thrown at Clinton during a debate
5. We need an AG to clean out DOJ before anyone an be prosecuted
6. The guy isn't in office yet
I'm not saying Clinton should not be prosecuted, a lot of people think she should....however putting that old harpy in the clink is waaaay down on the priority list of stuff that needs to get done...
Good choice in a word.

Uhmm...
It's called nacissism.
Huh?

Now that he's won, he may be backing off on that, and some of the same people who had a problem with it for the above-listed reasons... are mad because he's "broken a promise."
Huh?
I actually cringed when he said it, because I thought it was the typical action of a petty, self-absorbed, vindictive individual to use the federal justice system to go after his vanquished opponent - reminiscent of Idi Amin, Qaddafi, Duvalier, or any other tin-pot despot. I was actually hoping it was just political tough-talk. Trump is a BSer. It's what they do. If he does elect not to go after Clinton... it's a turn to the Presidential in my mind. Chasing after her after he won would never look good to at least half of the country. Yeah, we're not supposed to let appearances and public opinion dictate how we administer the law, but if you believe that's not the case, I have a bridge to sell you.
Because you would have played lets wait and see with Hilary.
I missed this thread and posted one of my own on the same subject.
Like Pierre-Jordan, I feel going after her is a waste of time as she will never face any meaningful punishment. She will never face a prosecutor, let alone see the inside of a cell. Her freedom (or lack of) holds very little interest for me as she is done as a political entity. She's no longer viable as a candidate and that is enough for me.
My interest is more in how ardent supporters of The Donald will view this. Will feet be held to fires, or will equivocation ensue? My gut tells me equivocation, but I've been wrong before...
In support of my hypothesis, refer to post #8 and then #10 above. I've also seen posts with versions of: "I don't like this, but it makes sense" as well.
I don't know, maybe his supporters are turning presidential as well? :uhm:
ETA: I was kind of hoping to see her in an orange jumpsuit, doing the perp walk... but I knew this was unrealistic. Pity.

Trump may not openly, PERSONALLY push for investigation, indictment, trial, conviction, etc..., but if he establishes a Justice Department that just so happens to gleefully pursue these things on their own. . .
. . .well, wouldn't that just be special?:tooth:

It took 60 years to get here. I think it's unreasonable to expect it can be fixed in the time between election and inauguration.
There's a new sheriff about to take over justice. We'll see what "HIS" FBI decides to do. The president does not prosecute! It's not their position on the Trifecta. To expect that a president would "go after" a political rival using the law enforcement bodies is simply "unreasonable." It's not done. It's up to Sessions! The President will remain neutral on the subject and if it comes to that, will express dismay at the depths of corruption identified.
Trump is not the smartest bulb in the chandelier. But he knows that he needs architects to build hotels. So he needs experts to run his government. He's doing a pretty good job picking architects so far. Give him a break, or you're really no better than the snowflake reactionaries who are crying on youtube.
I knew you were smarter than my posts :tooth:
:win: :win: :agree: :agree:

I wish the fat lady would start to sing so we can get back to normality. It aint doing the USA any favors when it comes to the way the rest of the world views it.
