    It is humorous to see the left grasping at every straw to denigrate Trump. When I read these headlines I don't bother to read the article. I just chuckle.

    Well, the one (key word is one) good thing about trump is we on the left don't have to put much effort in our grasping because everything trump does is something that can be used to denigrate the golden shower pervert.

    You know ... it is humorous to remember that the right has done the same and much more for 8 years against Obama and suddenly has Alzheimer disease about the past ... and only sees the current actions against Trump and is upset now.

    The only problem is that Trump's supporters do not want to or can not realize that.
    When Trump tells them via Twitter that 1 + 1 is now 11 and we evil lefties laugh over it and say what a crap is that etc ... then we lefties are the bad guys like always ... not Trump!

    Looks like trump thinks that if hillary can get away with it, why not him? MSM had no problem with hillary doing it, and of course trump knows how fair MSM is, right? Perhaps he is just looking to see if he will be given a pass to, because being older, he is like hillary and unsophisticated when it comes to modern tech? Will the FBI give him a free pass, due to his age and being unsophisticated too? That is, if something comes up like it did with hillary and her private email server used IMO to hide sh*t, which she knew could be bleached out when needed. Will they also forget about the law against negligence as comey did with hillary? Being unsophisticated looks to be a new defense to get out of justice. A brand new way to insure a two tiered justice system.

    Trump best be careful with his private cell phone use, for he should know the NSA is recording all of those conversations and texts. There is no safe way to set up a meeting for copulation and we all know how dems and even repubs who hate trump love to leak anything that can be used against pres trump. Even his intel, that Schumer said can "get him" 6 ways from Sunday. If MSM had been doing their job, this would have been reported on and some investigative reporting happening, given the critical nature of this announcement from Schumer last year. Each time I have mentioned this to friends here where I live, they look at me like I just made it up. So, looks like most americans have no idea of what Schumer told america. And if you try to convince these people that the CIA has that power, and obviously will use it, and they think you are nuts, what does that say about our CIA? And MSM? What nation would such an agency be right at home in? In a constitutional republic?

    SOS Clinton uses personal phone - "Lock her up, lock her up".
    President Trump uses personal phone - "what is the problem?"

    If Trump is using burners to hide his conversation, the investigators can go for sweep taps on the President at FISA.

    Very accurate, tecoyah.

    The Trumpers and Alt Right get worried they always go back to their girl.

    Hey guys uh a President using a cell phone for private personal use is a tad different than a Secretary of State creating clandestinely with no Fed approval a private email server and holding classified documents on it unprotected. ( unless you count Nortons Anti-irus ) I mean..... Seriously

    Hahaha :roflol:

    No. There is no comparison at all. People complained about Obama's actions but nothing like we see today and nobody tried to get Obama out of office.

    No, Trump's problem is what he says, not what he does. Obama's problem was not what he said but what he did. Huge difference.

    You have it mixed up, fmw.

    Trump's problem is both what he says and does.

    I’m old enough to remember lefts mass hysteria every time W did something. After observing liberals during Bush years and conservatives during Obama’s years I realized that those who take politics too serious are fools. Opposing party will always claim the world is ending. I must note, though, that anti-Trump protests when he was just elected were hysterical. How can you protest fair election that was recognized by everyone?

    I think the increased protests against the person Trump as president are mainly related to the person Trump himself.
    No other presidential candidate and no acting president before has behaved so idiotically in public and given as much mental BS as he.
    That in the primaries and in the election campaign in the US in general the mutual throwing with all kinds of filth is "normal" knows anyone who has dealt with it. The moral limit of the corresponding expressions and actions is always quite low at this time, but here she has already arrived in the basement, especially by Trump himself.

    The main problem, however, is that Trump does not show a spark of will to reconcile US mutual groups or to achieve a truce where it makes sense to talk and act seriously on important things and issues to get them proper solved.
    Trump, however, has taken a bulldozer directly to expand the ditch ... internally in their own country, but also in terms of relationships with allies and friends!

    You must really have maybe Alzheimer as it looks like... but OK, I will refresh your memories now:

    Efforts to impeach Barack Obama:

    # 1 Job offer to Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestak
    In May 2010, Republican Darrell Issa of California stated that the allegation that the White House had offered Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestak a job to persuade Sestak to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary election against Arlen Specter "is one that everyone from Arlen Spector to Dick Morris has said is in fact a crime, and could be impeachable". With the possibility of becoming chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in January 2011, Issa said in October 2010 that the committee would not seek to impeach Obama.

    # 2 Preventing Obama from "pushing his agenda"
    In August 2011, Republican Congressman Michael C. Burgess of Texas agreed with a rally audience member that the impeachment of Barack Obama "needs to happen" in order to prevent Obama from "pushing his agenda". Burgess did not mention any grounds for impeachment.

    # 3 Obama administration immigration policy
    In June 2012, Senator Jon Kyl said on the Bill Bennett radio show that "if it’s bad enough and if shenanigans involved in it, then of course impeachment is always a possibility. But I don’t think at this point anybody is talking about that." when discussing the Obama Administration policy on immigration.

    # 4 Benghazi attack
    In May 2013, Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma stated that President Obama could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya. Inhofe said that "of all the great cover-ups in history—the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them—this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history". Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah also stated in an interview that impeachment was "within the realm of possibilities" with regard to the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, later clarifying that "it's not something I'm seeking" and that "I'm not willing to take that off the table. But that's certainly not what we're striving for.

    # 5 Impeachment requested by a townhall meeting audience member
    In August 2013, Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma responded to a questioner in a town hall meeting, who had asserted that President Obama was failing to carry out his constitutional responsibilities, by saying that "you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president... and that's called impeachment".Coburn added, "I don't have the legal background to know if that rises to 'high crimes and misdemeanors', but I think you're getting perilously close". Coburn did not specify what grounds he felt would support impeachment, but NBC News noted that Coburn "mentioned that he believes Department of Homeland Security officials have told career USCIS employees to 'ignore' background checks for immigrants". Coburn mentioned no evidence that substantiated his belief.

    # 6 False claims of being born outside the United States
    At a 2013 town hall meeting with constituents, two years after Obama had released his long-form birth certificate to the public, Congressman Blake Farenthold said that Obama should be impeached due to conspiracy theories relating to Obama's birth certificate. Farenthold said that he thinks that "the House is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue."

    # 7 IRS targeting conservatives
    On August 19, 2013, Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio stated that if he could write articles of impeachment, "it would be a dream come true". To help in achieving that goal, he retained experts and historians. During the same interview, Bentivolio called the press "the most corrupt thing in Washington," and said that he was looking to tie the White House to the IRS targeting controversy "as evidence of impeachment"!

    # 8 Hearing on "President's Constitutional Duty"
    On December 3, 2013, the House Judiciary committee held a hearing on the President that was formally titled "The President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws", which has been viewed as an attempt to begin justifying impeachment proceedings. When asked by reporters if this was a hearing about impeachment, the Chairman of the committee responded that it was not, saying "I didn't mention impeachment nor did any of the witnesses in response to my questions at the Judiciary Committee hearing."

    # 9 Allowing transgender students to use bathrooms
    In May 2016, the Oklahoma Legislature filed a measure asking the representatives from Oklahoma in the House of Representatives to impeach Obama, the U.S. attorney general, the U.S. secretary of education and any other administration officials involved in the decision to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. The same resolution also "condemns the actions of the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice and the Office for Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education ... as contrary to the values of the citizens of Oklahoma".


    And these are only 9 more serious examples of much more cases where righties wanted to kick off Obama from White House. So tell me again that it is not comprarable ...

    Not exactly the same as members of congress calling for and threatening impeachment.
