    One of Trump's campaign promises was to drain the swamp. He meant DC, of course, but it was met with great support. The idea isn't a bad one, but why just focus on DC? Perhaps Trump can be the beginning of the rich and powerful swamp being drained via SDNY?

    You just proved the point made by the OP. You should be receiving a hearty THANK YOU!!!!!!

    After 2 years of frolicking in Mueller Time ---- it's things like the environment that really matter? Do you mean the environment Trump inherited?

    Derideo said: In fact the OP is a litany of various Confirmation Biases held by BLOTUS supporters based entirely on all of the lies he has told that they believe to be true despite all factual evidence to the contrary.

    What lies? What factual evidence?

    I'm still having a hard time getting over the fuss the fake news and people with confirmation bias made when President Trump ordered all of the burgers and fries for a visiting college sports team - when President Trump stated "Or do I send out for about 1,000 hamburgers?” in reference to ordering food for the jocks as opposed to feeding them salads. The actual count was 300 burgers ordered, but the ever watchful Democrat fact checkers were quick to pick up on the "lie".

    For decades, Trump has been well known for his exaggerations and excesses, yet, when it comes to all things Trump, the opposition can't grasp that there is such things as "tongue in cheek" and "nuance"; Their mental illness won't allow them to differentiate between a fish story and a gross lie such as "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski!"

    My suggestion to all of the people suffering with confirmation bias is to give Midol a try.

    Based on this post, it appears that you agree that confirmation bias is rampant - Dan Rather's false document, Barrack Obamas birth certificate and the Clinton orchestrated Russian Collusion hoax against President Trump.

    Here is a perfect example of confirmation bias - Pants is basically stating "They can't find real evidence in DC to support the accusations of "collusion" so we'll manufacture some other accusations in NY because we KNOW the bastard is guilty!

    Of course, such a thing won't happen before President Trump finishes his second term after January 20th, 2025 - only God knows who will be in charge in SD NY and if the DoJ will even allow such a move.

    It's not over. It's not over because this is all they have. The democrats abandoned persuasion years ago. All they have left is attack, lie, intimidate, investigate, and mud sling. When's the last time that you heard a democrat even attempt to persuade anyone?

    It's not over because this is all they have. They can't give up, go home and take up their careers in the private sector. Their voters are. Their voters are getting educated, starting businesses and (God forbid) raising their own children. That's why the democrats are so desperate to import a new dependent constituency.

    It's not over because they're still twitching. Now that this fight is on, we can't let them up until we've so disabled them that they cannot be a threat to us again. This is not the time to take pity on them. We have them, 51% of our nation, cornered into 15% of our country. We need to withdraw federal support and simply wait for their inevitable collapse. Like the wise man once said, when your enemies are killing each other, let them.

    You don't think the environment matters?
    How come Republicans don't care about the environment anymore?

    How Republicans came to embrace anti-environmentalism

    It makes no difference to what I said....

    he has had legal shenanigans his entire life.

    Even when he was a child, his parents used him as a tax dodge.

    Thank you for proving my point about the Confirmation Bias in the OP itself.

    AG Barr has stipulated that your BLOTUS was NOT EXONERATED of OoJ. There is just insufficient evidence to press charges which means that the Dems are right that your BLOTUS did attempt to obstruct justice but the Confirmation Bias of his supporters means that they are in denial of that evidence.

    The SDNY investigation has nothing to do with Russian Collusion. It is an entirely different criminal conspiracy that your BLOTUS was instrumental in conducting.

    The odds of your BLOTUS winning in 2020 just plummeted with the release of the SC report.

    Talk about confirmation bias! LOL! You are incapable of understanding what another is saying because you hear/read what you want. SDNY has NOTHING to do with collusion - but that's exactly where you went with your response.
