    Yeah, the Orange Oaf was told by Senate Republicans his infrastructure plan was DOA. He was looking for a window to jump out.

    Prove me wrong. Show me how campaign funds were used. Anything else is a lie.

    Yeah, it does... call it the McConnell rule (or whatever).... slows government to a crawl and partially explains the complete failure of this administration to get anything of substance done...

    Uh oh--another Trumpite who hasn't read the Constitution.

    Article III, Section 3:

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.​

    The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.​

    I understand your point but it doesn't matter. The supervisor will be held responsible because only they have the authority to fire the employee. If the employee files a suit for wrongful termination it will be against the supervisor.

    Not really.... normally, Congress would pass bills regardless of what a president had to say about them beforehand.... It was assumed that if majority of the House and the majority of the Senate thought it was a good idea, the president would sign it, most times....

    Now it's all back-asswards.... it's wrong.... and it's McConnells fault....

    Is the supervisor covered by this thing called article 2.

    Oh and by the way, you might notice how many other employees under the person who got fired were fired by people other than the person who fired the first employee.

    Hmmmm.......so I'm sensing that you are in the camp that the President if above the law in every situation. This is important to know going forward should we have future discussions. I appreciate the heads up.

    It takes a Democrat AG for things like that to happen.

    What law?

    The people who work for the POTUS are in at-will positions. He can fire them for any reason, at any time.

    Comey was fired on the advice of Rosenstein, and Democrats like Schumer had called on him to resign.

    Moreover, firing Comey did not affect the investigation any more than the recusal of the AG.

    On top of that, Comey's #2 was then fired by the FBI and is now under investigation himself.

    Trying to suggest that Comey was only fired to stop the "Russian collusion" investigation that was manufactured by the FBI and DOJ isn't going to work.

    Trying to overthrow the government is an overt act of treason.

    You need an occasional reminder that Trump won.

    No really, Trump won the election.

    Yeah this sounds right.

    "They're a do-nothing group of people. The Democrats have done nothing other than to obstruct. They're obstructing this country," Trump said Thursday. "The Democrats have done nothing in the House, they've done absolutely nothing -- I mean other than investigate. They want to investigate."

    Might sound right if you live in the Fox bubble instead of the real world. Fact is, the man-baby is the Obstructor of Chief. Very sad.

    I can think of a much better example:

    • A high level Government official setting up their own email server in their basement to conduct Government business on, including the passing of classified information.
    • Once this server becomes public knowledge, the said high level Government official has their attorney go through her emails and only turns over those emails they want.
    • Then, said official destroys the harddrive before investigators can have a look at it.
    • Said official also has an aide destroy all phones that were sync'ed with the server before they can be investigated.
    • During an interview with the FBI, said official claims they "did not remember" over 3 dozen times.
    • Said official's spouse has a secret meeting on an airport tarmac with the main person that would be influential in deciding her fate.
    • Said official was then found to have violated security laws, but was protected by the administration from prosecution.
    IMO, a much more egregious act of obstruction than anything that Trump may have tried to commit, but some people do not see any problem with these acts......go figure.

    We are all aware of this news... Trump won/Hillary lost... See below, a full 46.1% of the voting public thought he was the best choice versus her 48.2%....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election

    Really... I know.....it's why he's the one under every possible investigation avenue known to man, and Hillary is free to enjoy her golden years.

    I know, right?? This one might be better than the one yesterday... At this one, he goes around the room and asks people completely beholden to him how he behaved at the Infrastructure meeting....

    KellyAnne, was I out of control?? Gosh no, Mr. President, you were a perfect gentleman... offering Mrs. Pelosi the bouquet of roses and diamond earrings was such a nice touch..

    Sarah, how was my temperament?? You were the calmest president ever... Only FDR at his cabinet meeting in 1946 was quieter than you...

    Larry Kudlow, do you agree?? Sure, whatever.... why the hell am I here at this dog and dog show??

    The man is entertaining, I have to give him that... Zero clue how stupid he looks, but entertaining.... You can't NOT watch some of this stuff...
