no one used the words "I" and "me" more than his predecessor...it's documented :tooth:


isn't lying under oath a crime? I think you can get up to 5 years...or a multi million dollar book deal

Yes - you have the Sloppy Narcissist, Trump following the Neat Narcissist, Obama.

I hate Trump. He is a shallow, reflexive person with a filter that alternates between good tactical and opticalrectumitis. I am starting to think his ego for running for President (job is harder than he thought) is to rub elbows with other world leaders - like the next level of his biz CEO contemporaries.

But he is filling a niche that has not been filled for sometime, a more moderate, Constitutional / Law-centric position (arguably at least where/when it does not apply to him).

Law: Borders
Customs: Lawful entry
Customs: Import fees (I'm seeing people paying more in import fees then ever before)
2A:
National Defense: resolving some budgeting wrongs (CR not only reduced money but had money restricted to wrong places)

I can't stand Trump but I am not convinced he is worse than Hillary

THat is a good way of describing them - although I would add Trump is a serial liar.

I would ask you to put up a list of his lies and then I could put up a list of Trump's and we could compare the amount but I know you're going to respond with your typical response where you state you can't be bothered to back up your accusation.

His lying grew from ideology. Trump does not have an ideological cell in his body.

Either way DJT or HRC we were screwed. No good and evil here, just blehhck

(proper conversation?) with the recommendation of AG session (who recused himself fromRussian investigations) except here? then meets with the Russians (pre planned i am sure) but allows no American press in the room ??

we'll be told theirs nothing to see move along ...

http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-...hip-with-comey

The decision to dump him was at least partly inspired by a memo written by the Deputy Attorney General, who was appointed by a right wing nut named Obama to be a US attorney. This man wrote a memo outlining why he thought Comey should have been fired.

When Comey announced he was re-opening the Hilary email scandal, everyone to the left of center demanded he be fired. Life is a funny old dog.

That said, it was a stupid time to fire him, the optics are awful.

Agreed, getting Scalia replaced with someone similar, is so far, worth the formidable price we pay for Trump, IMHO.

His problem is he can't get out of his own way. He might accomplish much if he could keep his foot out of his mouth or his thumbs of the twitter keyboard long enough to focus on governing. He lives in the past and can't stand loosing even the most inconsequential battles.

Trump has said the decision to appoint a special counsel to oversee the inquiry into Russian influence on his election is hurting America "terribly".

He told journalists on Thursday: "I respect the move, but the entire thing has been a witch hunt."

he wont stop

You and he have something in common.

PaulS 05-19-2017 08:37 AM

Yes, lets talk about something important like whiney college students.

detbuch 05-19-2017 09:55 AM

Not all people are gifted with the ability to talk about more than one subject.

scottw 05-19-2017 10:27 AM

Lester Holt referred to Roger Ailes as the "disgraced former FOX News Chief" this morning


I suspect that when Bill Clinton croaks he will likewise refer to Clinton and the "disgraced former US President and Commander-in -Chief "

:rotflmao:

But Holt is merely whining. You have to understand that shutting down free speech and selectively throwing mud on your opposition is just whining and not worth the bother to talk about when there is far more important stuff like discussing the earth shaking gravity of possible collusion for which there is no evidence.

Yes, there has been no interactions w/the Russians and the Trump campaign;)

Too bad the Trump admin. could not have sent someone to Andy's shootout. Andy could have taught them to shoot straight and not shoot themselves in the foot.

I said that about Benghazi and all the hearings and investigations by the R's showed that to be the case ..

and laid out my argument I dont see an argument laid out about how it has nothing to do with the russian but seems congress does but even that isn't enough


Not sure why the same standard of evidence is not required let the chips fall where they may . but i would guess you wouldn't accept the out come if it didn't match what you all ready think..

"I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Mr Trump told the Russian officials, the Times reported.
"I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."

What a leader and people wonder why some are leaking " they must be trying to make America great again "

Well except that they blatantly lied on TV about it being a tape . There is that 🙄

You do know that the New York Times and Washington Post is not news right ? Rumors do not equate with evidence
You sound like one of those nut jobs that believes the "Enquirer" is true
