    What you're saying is, that like all other Progressives, you go by your emotions and other nonsense, and don't need facts to make any points.

    Gotcha.

    You just did. We do not have any duty to respect this man, or to 'give him a chance' or to refer to him as a legitimate leader of anyone or anything. If you can't respect dissenting opinion, should you live in this country?

    So what you're saying is that no one should criticize Trump no matter how bad his policies, proposals, or actions are for this country. Everyone should just shut up and take it...

    Given the last eight years I get to call hypocrite first.

    I gave him his chances as candidate. I waited for a single sign of character or honor, or decency or a moral compass. He failed a test that Nixon, Reagan, and every single republican nominee has successfully passed. This guy is pretty close to amoral.

    Nice deflection, but I've been around this forum long enough to remember you not having a problem with it.

    They need to launch an investigation and bring the NSA in to testify.

    Nope, he gets 100 days. And we're nearly halfway there.

    More than one cabinet nominee lost due to ethics failures
    The NSA lost due to ethics failures
    The effectiveness of the AG severely compromised by ethics failures
    TrumpCo, of course has no ethics to fail
    Failed EO
    And not a single "Day 1" promise kept.

    Won't be long before Republicans abandon this sinking ship.

    You made a claim, now show us how Trump is an "existential threat" to America. I did not vote for him and have not yet seen enough to make up my mind one way or another, but regardless of that, I don't think he will reach the point where America would be teetering on the brink of becoming crippled.

    Furthermore, you shouldn't need a jackhammer to prove your point. The only people who need jackhammers are those who need to force their opinions and beliefs down other people's throats because their opinions and beliefs are too ridiculous to be implemented any other way.

    Trump could mug for TV every day the way Obama did for almost his entire two terms. I can avoid twitter. But Obama's mugging for TV was next to impossible to not see.

    If President Trump exited the White House...walked south toward the Potomac River...reached the water and walked right across it....

    ...the liberal headlines would read: "Photographic Proof: Trump Can't Swim!"

    I have a bit more faith than you have over the longer term.

    There are things Trump can do that will give him that edge. If he does not do them, you will be accurate. They want illegals to vote is a major problem. And illegals do vote, but the Democrats lie by saying it's untrue.

    When word got out in the Mexican community that Obama told them illegals got to vote, they headed to the polls.

    It is really amazing Trump has got as much done as he has with the full on frontal attack mounted by the radical lefties aided by their sycophant MSM. The OP reminds me of the MSM propaganda being spewed forth on a daily, 24/7 basis wherein ANY baseless story is blown up with false claims and literally anything good Trump does is not reported. When one gets their news from the lefty MSM, ignorance and hatred is the predicted result.

    Hey, NC. How ya doin'?[/QUOTE]

    I applaud what you are saying and cheer your ideals but we are talking to a group who consist of a.large number of "birthers" and people who think global warming is a scientific hoax. I do not know when or how it happened in America but conspiracy theory thinking seems to be overriding common sense for a lot of the right.

    Sad to see

    There definitely should be an investigation and the person who was on watch and in charge of all executive branches of government should be subpoenaed and testify under oath, "What did you know and when did you know it" ?

    Unlike during all of the other Obama scandals and (*)(*)(*)(*) ups, I don't think the normal Obama response of "I first heard about it just like everyone else...on Fox News" is going to fly while under oath.

    So, we are the conspiracy now per your commentary. I get it. It makes no sense but what the hey. You don't have time to manage your country yet you come to manage ours. I might see what I can do to help you manage your country.

    Holder is still charged by Congress for contempt of Congress.

    There was so much corruption under Obama that pigs will fly and sing opera before he gets away.

    where did i say that no one should criticize? criticism and protest are the very things that spur us on, but your childishness must stop. it's this constant repetition, the same meaningless allegations, that is useless and merely petulant.

    Trump is doing an amazing job. Give him a chance or not. No one cares. He is going to continue to do what we voted him in office to do with or without the support of the liberal loons.

    That "joke" is so old it has dinosaur dung on it.

    Jesse Jackson used it in 1988, and several others before him.

    Get some new material.
