When Hillary and Donald Were Still Friendly

[Purveyor]

Bo Dietl went to Donald Trump’s third wedding in January 2005 in Palm Beach, Florida, he said the other day, because he’s good friends with Trump and the wedding was “the wedding of weddings” and anybody who got an invitation and didn’t go had to have been “on crack.” So there was the ex-New York City homicide detective and Fox News contributor, in the gardenias-scented Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, when up walked Hillary Clinton.

“Hillary came running over,” Dietl said. “She was very nice. ‘Bo, how ya doin'?’ ‘Bo, I love you.’”

This, he thought, was strange, seeing as how they’re politically so at odds, a fact he has made public and plain. Voters now may feel a similar sense of befuddlement at the notion that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were once friendly enough that she attended his joyful nuptials.

Dietl’s befuddlement back then looks now like a precursor to the sentiments of the general populace ever since Trump jumped into the 2016 presidential tussle.

The wonkish Clinton is the front-runner for the Democrats. The bombastic Trump is the front-runner for the Republicans. What exactly was she doing at his wedding? Why did Trump invite Clinton, who at the time was the junior senator from New York, and why was she there, along with her plus-one, former President Bill Clinton, who didn’t attend the actual ceremony but did arrive for later portions of the opulent soiree?

1. One can not work with republicans without talking to them, by not talking to republicans is

following the RW tactics, right now Congress is populated by republicans and this post proves she is capable of getting the work completed by getting votes from republicans. Thanks for pointing out her abilities.

3. 1) Trump was not in the Senate with Hillary - they were not working together

2) There's a difference between talking/working with Republicans and schmoozing with misogynist billionaires

Thanks for pointing out that some Hillary fans don't get it.

[Thinkingabout]

7. What is the difference in working with republican Congressional members and billionaires? You can

think small or you can look at billionaires as just another vote. We have a do nothing congress, is this the only future?

[beam me up scottie]

11. Because she wasn't working with him.

There are some dogs you just don't lay down with.

Trump is a racist, misogynistic worm.

I take that back, worms are a valuable part of the ecosystem.

He's worm feces.

No, wait, that's still valuable, people pay good money for castings.

Give me a minute and I'll think of something better to compare him to...

[Thinkingabout]

13. Oh, well, I get your racists part. Are you as successful as Donald Trump? I am not but he is

just another vote. Even ministers associate with criminals and is does not degrade the ministers. I did not know we rate people by the company we keep.

[beam me up scottie]

18. Now you're comparing Hillary to a minister?

I don't think she's trying to save his soul in the above picture.

[Thinkingabout]

24. I didn't but you have.

[beam me up scottie]

25. Nope, and if I compare someone to a preacher it ain't a compliment.

[Thinkingabout]

27. Here you are

"Now you're comparing Hillary to a minister?





I don't think she's trying to save his soul in the above picture."

I did not post this.

[beam me up scottie]

28. "Even ministers associate with criminals and is does not degrade the ministers."

You posted that.

[Thinkingabout]

29. Yes I did, I did not compare Hillary to ministers. Don't rewrite my posts, if I wanted to compare

Hillary to ministers I would have.

[beam me up scottie]

30. So you were actually comparing Trump to ministers.

And the Clintons were the criminals in your scenario?

Nice.

31. Don't rewrite my post, you miss every time.

23. The kind of "work" that the GOP congress would support,

by a Libertarian, I guess!!

On Immigration, Bernie Sanders Sounds Like Donald Trump
Says relaxing immigration restrictions is a right-wing Koch plot.
Robby Soave|Jul. 28, 2015 11:35 am

The far-left presidential candidate recently elaborated on these views during a sit-down interview with Vox Editor-in-Chief Ezra Klein. A particularly illuminating moment:

Ezra Klein: You said being a democratic socialist means a more international view. I think if you take global poverty that seriously, it leads you to conclusions that in the US are considered out of political bounds. Things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders. About sharply increasing ...

Bernie Sanders: Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal.

Ezra Klein: Really?

Bernie Sanders: Of course. That's a right-wing proposal, which says essentially there is no United States. ...

Ezra Klein: But it would make ...

Bernie Sanders: Excuse me ...

Ezra Klein: It would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it?

Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer —you're doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don't think there's any country in the world that believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs.....

.....Sanders is arguing in bad faith, however, to suggest that his opponents—the Koch brothers, among them—want a completely open border. Very few people involved in immigration policy are actively trying to erode all territorial distinctions between the United States and Mexico. Framing the issues this way, as Sanders does, is demagoguery intended to make supporters of a more welcoming immigration system sound crazy.....

This "Gotcha" stuff is silly...but if you have to go back a whole decade to try to stick the knife in, it's even sillier...! He's a wealthy New Yorker who was her constituent, and she was his Senator from his state.

I'll bet lots of politicians were at that shindig.

And maybe, just maybe, Senator Sanders doesn't "hate Mexicans" as much as REASON would have you believe....

5. Donald Trump is adamantly against "illegal immigrants", So is Hillary though...?

6. Did you read what MADem's favourite site says about Hillary?

Some people have no sense of humour.

Republican primaries are the best. I can't want to see what they do this year

8. Look how Bernie is like Trump, they both claim big rally numbers.

[ericson00]

10. Donald was once a sensible guy

back in the 2000s. He was for what I was for, regarding the rebuilding of the WTC: just make a Twin Towers II. He spoke the truth on Iraq, abortion, and other issues.

What I think has happened to him is what happened to Lindsay Lohan's lawyer, Dominic Barbera: money wasn't enough, so he wanted sheer attention. Barbara started stealing things, getting in trouble with the law, but still making headlines. Trump is just running for the GOP nomination on the far-right. Next thing you know, he'll be for a constitutional amendment to make fetuses eligible to serve on the SCOTUS.

Trump's Justice: It won't legislate from the bench, but from the womb.
