Rosenstein's credibility?

Rosenstein was Trumps pick

 

Quote

He, like Mueller, and some 36 Obama FBI Senior operatives are out of public office, after the phony partisan "Russian Collusion" Conspiracy.

It wasn't phony... people went to prison, Trump wasn't exonerated.

Court Cases? Win some lose some.

 

Poor Joe Biden, lost the only two cases he brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. (Immigration and Eviction)

Pretty sure Biden was president

Trump fared somewhat better, in his Supreme Court Cases, winning the majority.

Only via the shadow docket, add in regular cases...

Trump has the worst record at the Supreme Court of any modern president:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/20/trump-has-worst-record-supreme-court-any-modern-president/

 

Wins at the SC by President:

Roosevelt - 63%

Truman - 65%

Eisenhower - 63%

Kennedy - 61%

Johnson - 69%

Nixon - 67%

Ford - 74%

Carter - 67%

Reagan - 75%

Bush 1 - 69%

Clinton - 64%

Bush 2 - 62%

Obama - 52%

Trump - 47%

(*cases won/total cases)

 

In fact, Trump lost more cases than he won, and fared worse than any president in (almost) living memory!

You shouldn't be surprised,  according to WIKI;

 

"Legal Affairs of Donald Trump"

 

"In June 2016, USA Today published an analysis of litigation involving Donald Trump, which found that over the previous three decades Trump and his businesses have been involved in 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, an unprecedented number for a U.S. presidential candidate.[1] Of the 3,500 suits, Trump or one of his companies were plaintiffs in 1,900; defendants in 1,450; and bankruptcy, third party, or other in 150.[1] Trump was named in at least 169 suits in federal court.[2] Over 150 other cases were in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida (covering Broward County, Florida) since 1983.[3

 

"In the 1,300 cases where the record establishes the outcome, Trump settled 175 times, lost 38, won 450, and had another 137 cases end with some other outcome. In the other 500 cases, judges dismissed plaintiffs' claims against Trump.[1]"

 

That's 450 clear wins, wins, plus 500 suits against him dismissed.

 

950 wins against 350 losses.

I don't subscribe, so can't read it until next month... but, since he lost more cases than he won, mostly it isn't

Commander-in-Chief, what a laugh.  Having had a son in the forces, you'd think Sleepy Joe would know how to show some respect.

Outrageous on his part,must be setting a new low in Presidential decorum.

Really? Doesn't this strike you as a bit weak: Joe Biden checked his watch when he should be standing respectfully. It's not a great look but given he's just capitulated to the Taliban in Afghanistan it really isn't Earth shattering.

And of course Trump makes "a disrespectfully looking at one's watch" story look like the triviality it is.

We shouldnt get too hung up worrrying about all the military tackle left behind by the US military. 

 

Getting it all back to America in good condition would have been a logistical nightmare - Afghanistan has no coastal port - so a lot of it would have been scrapped anyway. Five minutes 'behind the dashboard' removing some electronic control units renders them unusable. Anyway, Taliban have no trained pilots. And there is no jet fuel left at Kabul airport. I bet the air traffic control system is off as well. 

 

Although there is a wanted ad on EBay for a Chinook workshop manual.........🙂🙂

 

But it's food for thought that they have taken control of the whole country without air cover, bombers, drones, tanks, misiles, cyber warfare and all the other stuff that we have been told is essential to modern combat. 

 

Why do we bother with ballistic missile subs?

A crazy notion, but maybe... just maybe... he wanted to know the time?

If a army of 75.000 religious nut cases decided to attack we in England they would not get as far as the first motor way service station , so how as that rag tag illiterate mob managed to take over 40 million people without a fight . The whole story stinks of pre planning by the departing occupiers .

I think you could be onto something here. Had we only opened a series of Little Chefs on the main route between Kabul and Kandahar things could all have turned out so differently.
