    What we elect are the people who are willing to go through the election process. These are people who put political power above all else - exactly the last people that should have political power. The system has done it to itself. We can't have the best people in elected office any longer.

    I agree - because of the type of society that we have become, one that turns politicians into celebrities and highlights and publishes whatever trash they can dig up, many who would be good for our country have no desire to see their lives and their families splashed on the covers of rags or fodder for the 24 hour news cycle. And so we are left with media whores and those who are power hungry. But it also allows us to see the REAL politicians - the ones who will make positive change - very easily. They are the ones not fighting back in the press or making meals out of negative publicity. Unless the negativity goes too far, of course, and involves innocent bystanders.

    Agreed, both sides need to call out hypocrisy.

    If I made the rules, no. But Trump isn’t the first and likely won’t be the last. I guess JFK called my uncle one.

    Polarizing the electorate with "culturally" created differences is the only way the right sees as a possibility to hold & keep power. That's the deal with the devil the right has made to support a Trump character and why they have turned a blind eye to Russia's adversarial interference. It's the deal with the devil and the devil may just be the only beneficiary of this deal not America.

    Because the wall will do little , and is a bad investment. You have to be naive to think immigrants won’t find another way, effective way, to come in. That drugs will still find their way in. This is not a national emergency. National emergencies are 9/11 and if our power grid ever got attacked. Acts of terrorism are national emergencies, not people seeking asylum.

    And in 2011 had a freshman Tea Party member of Congress had fine to a Tea Party party and said to the crowd "I told my little boy we're going to impeach the MF'er" it would have been a total meltdown by the MSM and leftist and Democrat party. Now they cheer it.

    Of course it has everything to do with it. What we say privately, even when swearing, should remain private unless the listener asks permission to make it public - otherwise they are 'off the record'. Do you know who made this swearing public?

    Would you have listening devices planted in these meeting places in order that nothing is private? You may want to get past this political position you've taken and compare it to the real world and what we want as a society.

    None of these people likely used their first day on the job as an occasion to use profanities. First they had to demonstrate that they have the intelligence and social graces to appear in public without offending a great number of the electorate.

    This woman has clearly demonstrated she lacks personal responsibility for her actions and should not even be in a position where serious decisions, free of emotional invective, must be made.

    Magnitude dictates priority.

    Did this really have to be pointed out to you?

    That would all make perfect sense except Cohen has already pleaded to it being a crime. If Cohen knew it was a crime, there is extremely little reason to believe Trump didn't know. This wasn't at the beginning of the campaign, it was at the end...

    Keep firing the excuses, but remember, Trump didn't even have sex with these women.... wink wink...

    A good start might be not voting for anyone with an R or D next to their name.

    Whats the worst that can happen? Things get worse at a faster pace? Maybe that isn't so bad. Maybe we have to hit bottom before we can rise up.

    Do you have anything more to offer the forum than the serial regurgitation of RW BS "Marching Order" spam?

    Nothing personal, of course. Just a friendly inquiry.

    I must admit, I have been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt--but your trollish spamming (of many of the exact same things) across multiple threads is starting to get beyond ludicrous.

    Nothing personal. Just an observation.

    As to the OP?

    Why does the RW feel so threatened by a Freshman Legislator?

    It is normal for Trump to use foul language and the subject matter was revealed, yet nobody complained except you.

    If this woman was true and honest, she’d be asking Trump to save this woman instead of threatening to impeach him:

    So you have no proof that Trump swore at that meeting? And where is the apology you claim exists?

    I don't care about people swearing at private meetings but if they do it in public there'll be controversy and they'll be judged accordingly.

    Trump has an extensive public record and a history of accomplishments whereas this woman has none. She was unwise to be a sassy smartass before she gained any knowledge or experience.

    It's Taqiya and allows Muslims greater flexibility with the truth. She could have sworn on a stack of Korans and it wouldn't have made any difference.
