    The hefty pantload weighing down Congressional Republicans who have not called it quits and are running for re-election is getting heavier:


    More voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s presidency than ever before, according to a poll released Friday.
    The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that 36 percent of American voters approve of the job Trump is doing as president,
    while 60 percent of voters disapprove of it.

    ​
    The Bonespur Cry Baby's sniveling pissiness over the passing of an American Hero may contribute to the current surge concerning his loathsomeness for patriotic Americans.

    And his shafting of federal employees over alleged budgetary concerns so soon after his tax cut and all of the boasting about how great the economy is doing.

    Oh, and his mega failures with North Korea and China...

    Talk about denying ... Then Democrats denied that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel that was so officially designated by Israel in the early 1950s. Some may deny the holocaust but Democrats worked hard to block Israel from naming it's own capital.

    Darned few Americans can accurately discuss Trump much less Hitler. What the average American knows of either can be put into a thimble.

    America has ginned up such hate for our president. But then we want to expect him to do well but we plan to judge him to be an evil SOB in the same vein as Hitler. No wonder Trump feels attacked.

    Congress has the authority to restore the wages. In fact, it is possible that Trump lacks the authority to cut wages by that small sum.

    Trump paid our vets more so perhaps this is how he negotiates for the boys wasting time in DC.

    Trump courts the Stormfront crowd. He espouses their conspiracy theories, because he thinks like them and they are a part of his shrinking base.

    MS-13?

    In the first decade of the 21st century, U.S. authorities investigated MS-13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The work eventually led to charges against 26 MS-13 members, including 7 trial convictions in January 2010, 18 guilty pleas, and 11 multi-year prison sentences.

    Thanks, Obama and Democrats. Obviously you guys have never supported this gang and the alt-right's claims are as silly as Trump's Twitter feed.

    More data lack of increases. Actually they are not pay cuts since the 2019 pay is not yet in force. It is just not adding to the pay.

    He sent a statement to Congress on Thursday saying we can't afford to give our people a measly 2.1% bump because -- are you ready for this? -- "We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases."

    Authority or no, his policy and the reasoning behind it are just ridiculous.

    Trump is fussing over a .2% difference? That's even worse.

    You are thanking Obama for the Bush team investigation, arrest and putting on trial those found guilty under Obama? Any thanks for the Jury?

    Too damned funny.

    Perfect example of taking something out of context to mislead.

    Though Wikipedia isn't a credible source, here's what was posted.
    For the layman, the investigation, indictments happened during the Bush administration.

    As a Republican I am not able to discuss those you allege to be nazis, but if they prefer us over you, just think how bad your party is!!!

    If you think millions of illegal Mexicans can't impact even the CA elections, why are you worried over perhaps a couple thousand of those you call Nazis?

    It's Linkyism 101.

    Funny how it works in America.

    First there's has to be a crime that was committed.
    LE conducts an investigation to gather evidence.
    Sometimes when there was no crime committed a witch hunt is conducted looking for a crime. The FBI is notorious for conducting witch hunts hoping for just a perjury conviction.

    Then LE turns the evidence over to a prosecutor who goes to a grand jury looking for an indictment.
    The accused is not allowed to defend himself or produce any evidence to the grand jury.

    If the grand jury indicts then the case goes to trial to be judged by a jury.

    Here's where it gets weird. The accused be they guilty or innocent always wave their rights to a "fast and speedy trial."
    Why do they do that ?

    If that's the worst you could come up with, it's not a bad record considering the vast number of Democrats running as open border Socialists. Therein lies the real threat to our nation.

    All you have to do is create a faux enemy. Who doesn't matter. He is entirely correct. Just create an enemy by making false claims, and then appeal to fear and hate. A great example would be claiming Mexican illegal immigrants are mainly drug dealers, rapists, and murderers. Some aren't, trump admitted, but in fact most aren't. Illegal immigrants actually commit fewer crimes per capita than do US citizens. But by painting them mostly as violent criminals, trump sought to create a faux enemy. It could have just as well been the press, oh wait, he did that. Well it could have been his own justice department... oh wait, he did that. Well it could have been non-white judges... oh wait, he did that. Well it could have been the intelligence community... oh wait, he did that. We there could be someone besides trumpers he hasn't made an enemy but I need to think about that.

    Oh yes, it could have been Putin or Kim Jong Un... but he has praised them too much.

    Why do you say that? Why should the group chosen as the "enemy" matter?
