    Ivanka and the fugitive from Panama

    Europe's Merkel, Macron, May less popular than Trump

    President Trump’s approval ratings, often mocked by Democrats and the media, top those of Europe’s biggest three leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Britain’s Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron.

    A new Zogby Analytics survey of people in those countries also finds that the disapproval ratings are sky-high.

    Pony Editorial:

    The Left has Trump cornered if they want but the only way to take him out is to first take out two of their own: Al Franken and Bill Clinton (subsequently taking about his fuckhead wife too).

    Al Franken = useless... easy decision... see you later, unfunny man.

    Billy Clintons (the Clintons in general) = not so easy a decision. There is literally over 45+ years invested into making them who they are today. If Billy C is finally held accountable for sexual harassment (or rape ffs) in the public eye (at least by the media... there's no way anything legal hits him) then you can expect the Dems will have to do some serious internal reworking to cut out the Clinton cancer completely.

    With those two held 'accountable' you now actually have a precedent to go after Trump... precisely the same way the Pubs went after Rapey Bill 30 years ago. This time the Dems just have to stick their ground unlike the cowardly Pubs of the past.

    • fuck the clintons and anyone on the left who stands with themcolin_s
    • anyone with an even remote interest in actual leftist politics knows the clinton years were destructive across the board, just not immediatelycolin_s
    • ah, i see. so, the only way to remove trump from office for his many sexual allegations is to remove bill and hillary clinton from office for bills 20 year oldkona
    • allegations. ok. by that logic, let's remove george h w bush along with bill clinton. sound good?

      for fuck sake man...
      kona
    • ps. the clintons don't hold office.kona
    • and, from what im' hearing/seeing... the whole franken thing was a stunt, including the photo which the photographer said was staged by the girl. fuckin a mankona
    • kona... all you have is allegations on Trump just like the Clintons. And Franken ADMITTED to wrongdoing (for fuck sake man...) :)PonyBoy
    • It's such a simple path to remove Trump... but there will be far too many people like kona that just can't stand to see their precious Clintons dismantled.PonyBoy
    • and suggested an ethics committee should investigate. yes. but bringing up the clintons, jesus christ you guys and your whataboutisms.kona
    • how many women would have to come forward against trump before you start to believe the woman instead of 1 man with a penchant for lying. how many?kona
    • how many woman?

    • 100?kona

  • BusterBoy5

    ^^ I'm all for Franken getting the ass if he has assaulted anyone. Get rid of him.

    Clinton...he's already been prosecuted for what he's done. Paid a very heavy price. If his silly wife decided to stay with him, that's beside the point. Says a fair bit about her though.

    If anyone else has been found to have assaulted anyone...get rid of them all.

    And that includes the giant orange turd.

    • Bill Clinton did NOT get prosecuted—he got a little manhandled by the 'right' media while the left gave him the biggest pass on the planet—and look at us now!PonyBoy
    • Clinton was impeached for lying under oath... there was zero prosecution for ANY of his accusers (over 10).PonyBoy
    • Prosecuted doesn't necessarily have a legal definition. He paid a very high price.BusterBoy
    • well... he probably shouldn't have raped and abused multiple women... imagine the price they paidPonyBoy
    • lol, Pony, listen to yourself .. are you really saying that Trump should be ignored until Clinton goes to prison for rape?monospaced
    • I want them both held accountable, mono... You don't! You must be cool w/raping and abusing multiple women?PonyBoy
    • That makes no sense, and your conclusion seems to be based on your sick fantasies. I want all criminals held accountable.monospaced
    • But your logic, it's fucking stupid as shit. Don't go after a Republican sex offender until Bill Clinton is in prison? That's just retarded.monospaced
    • I'ts like saying someone shouldn't get a murder charge until OJ is in prison for murder. Stupid and illogical.monospaced
    • I NEVER SAID DON'T GO AFTER THE REPUBLICAN you selective reading tool.. you really are a partisan hack... GO AFTER ALL OF THEM.PonyBoy
    • If you want Trump GUARANTEED GONE... take out YOUR OWN. You're afraid though... you don't want to hold a left twat like Clinton accountable.PonyBoy
    • What are you afraid of, mono? Why do you like Democrat rapists but hate Republican ones? Why don't you want them all held responsible?PonyBoy
    • You do have some of the most selective reading skills on this site... and you're beyond a partisan hack... your mental imbalance says 'yes' to Dems raping...PonyBoy
    • ...but 'no' to pubs. You're weird that you won't hold them all responsible...so this is my conclusion: mono thinks it's okay for Democrats to rape. End of storyPonyBoy
    • :) right? Hold them all accountable or none... else you're a hypocrite... that's my argument. Fuck Moore, Fuck Trump, Fuck Franken, FUCK CUNTLIN...PonyBoy
    • ... hold them ALL accountable. Else it means nothing. Trump accusers mean... nothing if Clinton's mean nothing... that simple.PonyBoy
    • That being said... all of this shit could truly use a bit of due process. Right now the only who should truly 'go' is Franken.PonyBoy
    • y'know, when you keep talking about Clinton when the discussion is currently Trump, it SOUNDS like you think one is dependent on the other, OKAY!?monospaced
    • and your conclusion is based on — hands down — the most retarded logic I've ever heard, and I've been dealing with yuri and omg, okay?monospaced
    • even implying that i"m okay with sexual misconduct is so fucking stupid, I sometimes wonder if you've got mental problems.monospaced

    While America is becoming great again by the day, good old Germany is about to lose their leader Heir Merkel.

    Seems like the German people (Polish, Czech, Austrians as well) have had it with the great Brussels immigration experiment, or perhaps the Russians win again....?!

    Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would prefer a new election to ruling with a minority after talks on forming a three-way coalition failed overnight, but Germany’s president told parties they owed it to voters to try to form a government.

    The major obstacle to a three-way deal was immigration, according to Merkel, who was forced into negotiations after bleeding support in the Sept. 24 election to the far right in a backlash at her 2015 decision to let in over 1 million migrants.

    The failure of exploratory coalition talks involving her conservative bloc, the liberal pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and environmentalist Greens raises the prospect of a new election and casts doubt about her future after 12 years in power.

    Merkel, 63, said she was sceptical about ruling in a minority government, telling ARD television: “My point of view is that new elections would be the better path.” Her plans did not include being chancellor in a minority government, she said after meeting President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

    Steinmeier said Germany was facing the worst governing crisis in the 68-year history of its post-World War Two democracy and pressed all parties in parliament “to serve our country” and try to form a government.

    The FCC has unveiled its plan to repeal its net neutrality rules

    Former Democratic FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, who drafted the 2015 net neutrality rules and rammed them through in spite of Republican opposition, called Tuesday's move "tragic."

    "The job of the FCC is to represent the consumer," he said in an interview. "If you like your cable company, you'll love what this does for the Internet, because it gives Internet service providers the same kind of control over content and price as cable operators have today."
