    You bet I'm outraged. I'm outraged in particular because you people elected this New York mob boss in the first place.

    I didn't vote for him. The overreach of your party was a big help and he is a perfect representation of a country that has lost the ability to respectfully communicate with those we disagree with. Those who oppose him are the most like him.

    Let's talk about the most blatant overreach and abuse of power that your party has exhibited just today. This almost needs to be updated on a day-to-day basis.

    Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed a bill today that strips the newly elected incoming Governor of power. The legislation he signed is designed to effectively prevent Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers and incoming Attorney General Josh Kaul from delivering on their campaign promises, including one bill that would require permission from the state legislature before the state's executive branch could make waivers or changes to public assistance programs, including work- and drug-testing requirements for "able-bodied" adults.

    How do you like that? A Republican who isn't happy that his party lost, so he signs a bill that strips the legally elected Governor of the same powers that he has had. Republicans like Scott Walker are nothing more than criminals just like Trump is a criminal. Do you realize that Trump's administration, his campaign, his personal business, his foundation, his organization and his transition team are all under investigation?

    One other thing. Mike Pompeo put out a statement a short time ago stating that he fully supports Congress and the Bill they voted on to put sanctions on Saudi Arabia. Now isn't that so sweet of him when only two weeks ago he refused to accept the conclusions of our own CIA and Gina Haspel regarding the culpability of Mohammed bin Salman in regards to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

    Adding one more thing. Chris Christie said he's not interested in being Chief of Staff and of course it would be awkward since he's the attorney that put Jared Kushner's father in prison....and kept him there for two years for tax evasion.

    I don't have a party. I do live in your parties petri dish and can tell you that while you are pointing at republicans, you are not pointing with clean hands. The problem with giving the government more power when you agree with what they are doing is that the power remains when they start doing things you oppose.

    While I may agree with you on many issues with Trump and the Reps, it comes down to which is the lesser of evils. They are all thieves; Trump is just less of a thief than your party. I am living in the bluest part of the bluest state and see the damage of your parties overreach every day.

    Sixteen of Trump's immediate circle are all under scrutiny some have been indicted or convicted of crimes and all have admitted to lying to Federal prosecutors.

    Name one other president in the history of this country that has had this much corruption unveiled in his administration and in his campaign.

    It would make you a more credible poster if, instead of just finger pointing, you actually state facts and instances of your allegations.

    I am not the one pointing fingers. I don't like/dislike any politician or party. Heres a fact for you: Here in CA, our taxes are among the highest, yet we are the poverty capital of the US. While Trump may be no prize, he is still the lesser of evils. You are right to criticize him, just as the pot is 100% right that the kettle is black.

    I still haven't seen any evidence of an impeachable offense...or any prosecutable crime really...as of yet.

    Paying women money to remain discreet about sexual activities to avoid embarrassment during a campaign is not illegal. A candidate can spend as much of his own money as he likes on his campaign.

    Even if there were video of Trump himself buying information from Russia about the Clinton's, it isn't illegal.

    Now if Trump paid Russia to hack election polls, that would be illegal, but so far there is zero reason to even say the word "impeachment".

    Why do you fear the Russians so much? Stalin is gone and the communists are held in check. I think it would have been very beneficial for both countries, Russia and US, if the two leaders would play golf together etc.

    The better question that I've asked myself for more than two years is why do Trump supporters not understand what Russia is? Does it take someone to grow up during the periods of Communism and Russian aggression, murders of detractors, poisoning of dissenters and heavy handed KGB snuffing out opponents, and gays in Russia being tossed off rooftops just because they were gay? Don't people understand that Russia is a dirty player and diametrically opposed to any democratic government, a silencer of free press and free elections, an invader of other countries that threatens all of Europe and in particular Poland.

    Son, you better read up on Russia and Vladimir Putin who learned all the dirty tricks of the KGB by actually being KGB. Putin will stop at nothing to get what he wants and what he wants is to control Europe and eventually expand his power and wealth beyond Europe, the USA perhaps?

    OMG! How naive you are. No, Humble Pie, you have been lied to about Putin invading other countries and going after Poland and then all of Europe. Just as you have been lied to about Hitler. Big lies! Mega lies! Nothing but LIES!
    Look at your own country, how it has invaded the ME countries one after the other. How your Roosevelt couldn't wait to get into the war against Germany. It is YOUR country we all have to fear. YOU are the terrorists of the world. Can you not see that? You just disguise yourselves and pretend fighting to help and bring democracy to the poor oppressed people. How many millions you kill in the process doesn't bother you one iota. To conquer, destroy and divide is your goal. Of course, helping yourselves to that defeated country's goods and resources as well. And then install your own selected puppet regime that will obey your rules.
    There is no doubt in my mind that the average American is very kind and decent. My own kids tell me so, they often spend their holidays in your country. The average Russian folks are the same, kind and friendly and helpful... my own brother told me so when he was a soldier in WWII.

    Putin has more than thrice demonstrated that he doesn't want war with the West, but the West has tried to provoke him more than thrice and is still poking and slandering him.
    Please, don't believe what your politicians and the MSM are telling you. Think for yourself!

    Good, sanctions are a detestible policy and should be ripped up across the board.

    Do you know what sanctions have been imposed on Russia and why? Do you understand what happens under sanctions? Do you know there are different types of sanctions? Do you know that's why Russia hacked our election and got Trump elected? That's right, because of sanctions.

    If you're an American citizen, they want your democracy to fail. Still don't care?

    More investigations are unfolding as the ice under the tip of the iceberg becomes more exposed.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...l-investigation-misuse-funds-pay-play-n947776

    Trump inaugural committee under criminal investigation for misuse of funds, pay to play: report
    The investigation began in part after federal agents seized materials from the president's former personal attorney Michael Cohen.

    President Donald Trump's inaugural committee is under criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan for pay to play and misspending some of the $107 million it raised from donations, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

    The probe was launched by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, the paper said, citing people familiar with the investigation.

    The investigation, which is reportedly in its early stages, is looking into whether some of the committee's top donors gave money to gain access to the incoming Trump administration to influence policy positions, which could be a violation of anti-corruption laws.

    I understand and accept your "ignore". Nobody likes to be reminded of his own shortcomings.

    Bullshit. More ravings from a diseased mind.
