    The reason it was bias is that the words he used should not have been "extremely careless", but instead "grossly negligent" (words that mean the same thing, but are legally actionable).

    Yes, all that is true. Here is the problem. Trump doesn't speak for Americans. He was elected by 27% of the electorate. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/10/13587462/trump-election-2016-voter-turnout

    So, Trump made his campaign promise to a minority of Americans, 27% to be exact. He continues to speak only to his base. He makes no attempt to broaden his appeal, which is why the Republicans are going to lose in November. By and large, the American people have had it with Trump.

    I noticed that you were unable to challenge my statements in the post you replied to which had absolutely nothing to do with the left. So, you tore into me instead, a typical Trump cult tactic.

    Put a different way, you managed to get everything wrong in your post.

    To my knowledge, never.

    Are you inventing statements for me again?

    Fine, you concentrate on events that happened two years ago much like many Republicans in Congress, and I will concentrate on the issues that are before us today.

    Republicans in Congress are worried about Comey's performance and the text messages from a lovesick agent to his girl two years ago, while they let Trump emasculate their party with his immigration policies and liberal protectionist tariffs. They don't seem to care.

    Prove it. What are you talking about?

    For example, I have a number of posts on this thread that deal with events that have been reported in the news. I have noticed you have not challenged those posts. Every one is based on what journalists have reported.

    Yet, you have questioned nothing. Want to give it a try? I picked out a post. Just for you, I picked out a short one. Every bit of it was provided by journalists.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    A federal judge revoked Paul Manafort’s bail and sent him to jail on Friday to await trial, citing new charges that Manafort had tried to influence the testimony of two government witnesses after he had been granted a temporary release.

    Trump waded in and couldn't stop lying about Manafort. Trump probably no longer knows the difference between truth and fiction, and he shows remarkable ignorance where Manafort is concerned. Of course, we don't know where is outright lying ends and his ignorance begins. That is always a problem with Trump.

    First, he tweets:

    [​IMG]

    Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump



    Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!

    10:41 AM - Jun 15, 2018

    Manafort has not been sentenced yet. He hasn't even gone to trial. The "head of the mob" part is clear fiction. What does Comey and Crooked Hillary have to do with Manafort? No one knows. Not even Trump. What's unfair? Trump doesn't say, but Manafort broke the law while out on bail. That is why he is going to jail. Apparently, breaking the law doesn't mean a thing to Trump.

    “Manafort has nothing to do with our campaign,” Trump said. Among his many problems, Trump has difficulty with the queen's English and the difference between past tense and present tense. Manafort had been Trump's campaign manager during the 2016 election campaign. I guess Trump forgot. Was his remark lying or a result of ignorance? Who knows?

    “He worked for Ronald Reagan, he worked for Bob Dole, he worked for John McCain or his firm did. He worked for many other Republicans. He worked for me for what? For 49 days or something? A very short period of time,” Trump said.

    Manafort was a part of Trump's campaign for five months. He was Trump's campaign manager for three months. Manafort was responsible for organizing the Republican Convention and lining up the delegates for Trump.

    Yeah, I know. That's a real problem Trump's followers have. They prefer Trump's fantasies. They don't want to know about reality.

    One is ok to morally kill, one has the moral right to live??????? You were once a fetus, but you probably don
    He was elected, and not the criminal Hillary. The STATES decided who is president. And the hate for him winning continues.....hahahaha

    He is president, and you and Obama are not!! hahahaha. He is NOT going to be impeached either. I think if they try, the supreme court will overtune it as pollical, and only if you win the house. Remember, the same polls that said Hitlery would win by a landslide, are the same ones saying the democrats will take the house. Aint happening.

    how did he break the law? Don't you have a trial for breaking the law before jail, before a trial ,woops, no trial. He is simply a political prisoner, to try and get him to lie to save his own skin.

    And reporters hahaha. fake news galore. Shall I bring up the crying child!!!

    Did you ever think we would live to see the day that George Will called for Democrats to take over both houses of Congress? Impossible, but it has happened.

    George Will, a longtime political commentator and staunch defender of the conservative movement, tore into the Republican Party, citing the party’s support for Trump in the upcoming 2020 Presidential election while acting like sycophants to the erratic, impulsive, and incompetent President.

    On Friday, Will published a column in the Washington Post explaining his view. The column, titled Vote against the GOP this November, argued that the number of Republicans in Congress “must be substantially reduced.”

    He wrote, "Amid the carnage of Republican misrule in Washington, there is this glimmer of good news: The family-shredding policy along the southern border, the most telegenic recent example of misrule, clarified something. Occurring less than 140 days before elections that can reshape Congress, the policy has given independents and temperate Republicans the principle by which they should vote.

    "The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced."

    You missed the point and it was right in front of you. I have no problems with a public servant serving his constituents.

    Here is what I said. "Because of the tremendous adulation he gets from members of his base, he has no concern for the other 75% of the American people or to broaden his base. Unfortunately for him, his consistent lying and exaggeration of his accomplishments has even members of base scratching their heads in bewilderment."

    All that is true. Pick any post of mine that details recent events involving Trump. It will not be complimentary. Yet, his supporters are unable to defend him.

    Meh, libs continue to think their rhetoric actually constitutes action so continue to mistake Trumps tweets as action. Trump is the most conservative President eclipsing even Reagan and has been very successful in implementing the promises he was elected for. He even pardons people in real time instead of waiting until the last minute like previous pantywaist presidents.

    This has the globalist progressives like you in a tizzy, America first? The gall!

    I have provided the reasons for his impeachment in several posts. You have managed to avoid them all. Pick a post where I provide the reasons then challenge it. We will go from there.

    In your Opening Post of a thread dedicated to "Trump is begging to be impeached" you said and I quote


    Today, Trump held another one of his press conferences on the front lawn. The immediate takeaway from this free-for-all was that reporters no longer respect Trump. This was evident by their shouting, attempts to drown him out, and multiple interruptions of comments


    One can logically infer that you consider this one of the reasons that President Trump should be impeached.

    Well, then, you inferred wrong.

    Hey, if you are going to make something up for me, at least make it logical, not ludicrous.

    Uh, by the way, where do you get the 27% lie? The vote was less than one percentage point. Or are you trying to deceive us?

    If Hillary caused the deaths of 4 American, I am sure that the families of those men don't think it was 2 years in the past should be forgotten! Heartlessly forgetting history.

    No president is going to be impeached for incompetence or a policy. Only for breaking the law in a serious way.

    The left will impeach Trump just because they hate him. No other reason will matter except to get rid of him. They were trying to impeach him before he took OFFICE. hahahaha

    If you would like to bet a hundred dollars on that I will cover your money (as a liberal). Democrats learned from the Clinton impeachment that its a bad idea with out serious crime.
