    Scalise thought it was time to celebrate in the White House rose garden when the Republi-cons were kicking people off healthcare after his life was saved by having quality healthcare. He can drop dead!

    They are destroying the country the founders envisioned and bringing back a nation of serfs and lords. So sad that people died trying to preserve Democracy for such undeserving twits.

    The Dem Party just finished using the Intent of the Constitution for their political toilet paper and have conducted an open political pogrom against Trump for three straight years -- longer if one considers that Obama authorized spying on Trump -- and yet now their is lamenting on the Left of Center that there could possibly be payback? Holy moly!

    how many times is "hoax" going to be used by a trumper??

    kinda like a man or woman that has been divorced 5 times

    at some point you must see the facts and admit the common factor

    it is not always 'them' that is the problem

    ever wonder why bush was not involved in a bunch of hoaxes??

    his policies were different but he never had to claim hoax

    again obuma and Hillary are gone....

    there is a new deep state in DC .. led by Bill Barr

    as long as trump is n office there will be claims of hoax

    HOAX is his only defense

    :above: In the above post you see exactly how and why HATRED is festering like a runaway infection in the bloodstream of America. All other considerations notwithstanding, it is likely that this @gringo would hate my guts, because I am a rock-solid Conservative (although not a 'Trump lover', as I have said many times). And, I wouldn't doubt that I would hate most of his political viewpoints, too.

    You see? We're rapidly moving to the point where everything is HOPELESS in this country.... Total "trench-warfare".

    And you have just shown us why the division continues and worsens. Regardless of the logic, the extended hand, the opportunities and invitations to heal the divisions, the left continues to carry on like they were being persecuted because the right does not lay down and die to give the left it's way. The left hasn't invented discourse and bad conduct, but they have propagated it, promoted it, perfected it, and made it their primary way to interface with the rest of society- and at the same time denied they are doing it and blaming others for the problems it creates. The fact you can't come to terms with the reality of that is a foreboding thing, for it is indeed the kind of thing that can result in extreme danger to the nation.

    YOU are supporting it. Right here- right now. You, and the people who thing that way. Not the right.
    Of course- you know this is true, despite all that hogwash to the contrary.

    The far left have demonstrated over the last 3 years that their political agenda trumps any attempt at bi-partisanship in fact working to divide the nation.

    Acting now like the repercussions of those actions makes them victims is hysterical.

    You all brought this. Deal with it.

    First of all Rush doesn't and isnt a part of the Republican leadership in fact doesn't hold any elected office.

    Secondly, Clinton's balanced budget was only balanced by borrowing from Social Security. Overspending and then borrowing from retirement is not "balanced".

    Obama had an overwhelming majority when he assumed office, so your claim that Republicans vowed to block everything he did dint even make sense.

    You are trying to defend what is the most divisive political agenda this country has seen in decades with half truths, non-facts, and just outright illogical conclusions.

    I personally didnt even vote for Trump, but howbthenleft has conducted themselves since 2016 has me absolutely pissed about the left and I personally will do everything I can to oppose them.

    I think many Americans fell the same way.

    Actually, for the most part, yes. Asking that a president comply with the requirements of our constitution and then asking for proof of that compliance is really not a big deal.

    Agreed. I suggest the left finally accept Trump ad president and start acting in the format that's best for the country. Let's start there.

    Oh come the **** on. Have you never heard of Stephanie Miller? Progressive radio is no church susermon.

    You pretending that progressives only have NPR is comical. Let's stop the charades shall we? Be honest.

    Lol. Right. What a steaming pile of you know what.

    Half the progressive posters on this site hold salon.com as their bible.

    Absolute unfettered BS

    You live in an alternate reality presumably surrounded by people who share your views leading yourself to believe these views are generally accepted. They aren't.

    Free press.... give me a break. We have the mouthpieces of billionaire elites. Genuine independent and populist press is being attacked mercilessly and censored by the elites through their NGOs. You may be interested in the opinions of the elite, I am not. I understand with perfect clarity what those opinions are and find them morally repugnant.

    A great example of this is a CNN anchor laughing hysterically at how stupid conservatives are on live television. The only purpose of denigrating 40% of the voters like this is to divide the nation and escalate animosity, it certainly doesn't have a damn thing to do with broadcasting the news. It justifies those 40% in believing that the "free press" is their enemy...... the MSM by their words and actions have demonstrated that to be the truth.


    And here is honest reporting that gets blackballed... the MSM is literally attempting to hide real and pertinent news. We can't question OR EVEN NAME the person responsible for this stupid impeachment inquiry..... WHY!!!!!!!!!

    seems to me trump has called the Whitehouse home for over 3 years now....

    the left accepts it just fine, that is why they became so angry when trump tried to cheat the election

    a lifelong republican said....

    the democrats proved the case and trump tried to cheat..but it was not impeachable

    romney said "lets here from Bolton" and he is now called a liberal hack

    as I said earlier

    at some point, most people accept the fact that trump is NOT an honest or good man

    he has embarrassed the USA on the worlds stage with his cheating and disgusting rhetoric

    I don't care about policies anymore

    the Mexicans ain't taking over if a democrat sits in the Whitehouse

    and the KKK ain't coming back if a republican is in the Whitehouse

    I just want a sane person in the Whitehouse

    I am tired of trumps insanity ...

    let start having trump act like a decent human being

    have him stop acting like a high school brat calling people names

    human scum is his latest

    After this extended love-in, I don't think, "You don't agree we us because you're a Trump hater," will carry much weight with a few posters.

    I wouldn't expect you to read my posts, gringo, but if you did, going back quite a way, you would see that I do not approve of a number of Trump's initiatives or his actions, and, frankly, I don't even really like the man.

    That said, and meant sincerely, by contrast, the hyperliberal, half-witted Left is ever so MUCH WORSE that I am literally forced to take his part and be in 'his camp'.

    Example: imagine Donald Trump. Now, contrast Trump with Ilhan Omar, or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Rashida Tlaib, or Mazie Hirono, or Adam Schiff, or Jerry Nadler.... See what I mean? On one hand, there is someone you don't care for, and that you disagree with about a third of the time. On the other hand are people who make you want to puke your guts out. Does that put it in the proper context...?

    Whom do you consider reliable, honest sources? I never get an answer to this.

    It's a plausible partisan statement, but both party still needs each other, it's just a lovers quarrel and the justice department is keeping a watchful eye to regulate the contention.

    Um... all sources have biases which is why I support a true free press. It is up to each user to determine truth by comparing the sources.

    What I do not support and what I loathe are all entities which engage in censorship. They are my enemy and they are America's enemy. I have seen the New York Times, CNN, ABC, CBS, the Washington Post along with some so-called conservative outlets use the label "hate speech" to censor smaller independent sources off of social media. That is absolutely filthy behavior. These authoritarians believe in a curated press, not a free press. You must be able to see this.

    Regarding sources, if you want a good place to start, start at quillette...
    https://quillette.com/

    Here is an outstanding article to begin your journey and it deals with bias...

    do you really think AOC , Tlaib or Omar are actually going to be around in 5 years ??

    maybe AOC because she is in uber liberal new York can stay in office

    AOC has a big mouth..her only asset

    the others will be gone as soon as trump is gone

    trump staying in office is the ONLY chance they have to get re-elected

    when trump is gone so are they..trumpers are the reason anybody even knows their name

    I cannot understand why the right are so afraid of them..they are lightweights

    they only have attention from trumpers...

    the other democrats could care less what they want or their agenda

    yes AOC has the green new deal..

    but even the other democrats will not support it until they can say it is their idea

    you want the left lunatics gone??

    get rid of the lunatic in the Whitehouse

    he is too easy a target for them ..

    he does this to himself

    The hate will be flushed from public view once Trump is flushed from the presidency be it 2020 or 2024. Republicans will be done because they have no clowns good enough to follow the current clown in chief.
