    Do you give Trump credit for costing the American taxpayer ~3 billion a month, on average, in 2018 with his trade war?

    Share the wondrous ideas being advanced by the courageous GOP right now.

    Elections have consequences but we must pretend republicans won in 2018 lol
    It’s sad how far you’ll bend over for this president. You know he’s leaving eventually right?

    You guys got nothing here.

    I get it though, the clock is ticking and all you have is a guy who talks to blank walls and the whitest woman in the world with a 52 trillion price tag.

    We get it. This is the best you have to work with.

    Who said he was "running foreign policy"? He is following Trump's orders, who is running foreign policy as he was elected to do so.

    Tell us more about "secure State Department email", and how important it is to Democrats.

    Cutting corporate taxes was also important in order to encourage investment in the country and increase economic growth.

    Your views on how the presidency should function are going to destroy this republic. I think you know it’s dangerous but don’t care.

    If you read you pre-2016 history, you will see that Roosevelt and Wilson (both democrats) had personal envoys. FDR had Harry Hopkins and Wilson had Colonel House.

    No one objected to this until PRESIDENT TRUMP made fools out of Hillary, the entire democrat party, the news media and every Trump Hater in the country in 2016.

    Three years later, they are all looking for payback and they will re-write history to do it.

    How admirable.

    Says the guy who was fine with selling guns to drug cartels, shadowing the elected POTUS foreign policy with people like Kerry, and creating a false "Trump/Russia" collusion conspiracy.

    This president doing what we elected him to do IS the Republic.

    Even if you don't like it.

    Has that happened? I think Executive Privilege will cover it.

    And we had a legitimate reason for being concerned about those ellipses given that we now have sworn testimony that those ellipses were supposed to include more of the conversation, that individuals attempted to correct those portions of the transcript, and that the transcript continued to remain incomplete.

    By trying to put pressure on Ukraine to provide campaign assistance against his domestic political rival.

    Yea, that's an abuse of power.

    You can keep saying that if you want.

    It doesn't become true through repetition, despite what Goebbels told you.

    The corporate tax rate was 35% prior to 2016--the highest in the industrialized world. Most European countries had a 15% rate. All corporations had to do to avoid paying was to park their profits offshore.

    Trump campaigned on cutting it back to a competitive rate and got elected.

    You don't like it? Go ahead and re-write the 2016 election.

    Oh, wait a minute. You are trying to re-write the 2016 election.

    Sorry.
