And on another note The Wall Street Journal just reported that Trump did not want to see the USS John McCain so they put a tarp over the name and when the tarp fell off moved a barge in front of the ship amongst other things. What a sad small man we have as president.

Surprised he even has time to deal with such chit that would normally be the domain of an event planner..... And how does that sit with any sailor who is ordered to cover up the name of his warship????

he’s very vindictive and small.
The remedy for that is the next election, not impeachment.

if there’s an impeachable offense, i’m assuming we both want him impeached. but it appears as if this is all because they can’t stand the guy. and he acts in a way that makes it very challenging to like him, I’ll give the liberals that.

Anything to avoid an honest, accurate discussion about whether or not his ideas or Bernie Sanders’ ideas, are best for all of America.

I said I might vote for him because that is what they deserve for the way they have behaved since the election

Repub. went far to the right so I stopped voting for them. I think I've still voted for more Repub. Pres. than Dems.

when was the national GOP far more moderate than it is now? Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan are conservative extremists? Come on. John McCain, Mitt Romney, even Trump isn’t that conservative.

How Republicans have changed
Lying about consensual sex with a White House intern - an impeachable offense.
Lying about a consensual relationship with the Russians - not an impeachable offense.
No wonder Putin is laughing at us.

the national democrat party is absolutely unrecognizable compared to where it was 20 years ago. Bill
Clinton could
never get the nomination today, he’s waaaaay to
moderate. Balance the budget by cutting taxes and kicking people
off welfare? Come on, Paul, thats tea party ideology. And it worked .

This didn’t happen, even CNN is admitting it didn’t happen, Trump played zero role.

the media will say or do
anything to make him look bad. Can’t we just stick to facts? Arent there enough truthful moral lapses to criticize him for?

You need to take everything they say, with a grain of salt. Everything. They are not capable or reporting accurately on Trump, they are literally incapable of doing it.
