    No I believe time would consider him and that Trump told em to stick it. Or are you saying time didnt contact him? That would be funny if you didnt think that. If you believe time did contact him then tell the forum what you think it was for based on their comments.

    If you think Trump is the only one, I don't know what to tell you. He's not the only one in Washington, Trump is not a dictator. If he was things would be much, much different for liberals.

    Trump White House ethics lawyer exits


    The ranks of former White House ethics lawyers available to comment on the ongoing controversies engulfing President Donald Trump's administration has just grown by one — an attorney who's certain to offer a much different perspective than the most prominent figures now ensconced as seemingly permanent fixtures on cable news.

    After almost a year in the White House counsel's office tackling a raft of ethics and financial disclosure issues, James Schultz resigned last week and is returning to private practice at the Philadelphia-based law firm where he previously worked, Cozen O'Connor.

    Schultz insists his exit is unrelated to any of those myriad controversies, but simply triggered by a desire to get back to private law work and back to Philadelphia, where his family has remained.

    "That was something Don [McGahn, the White House counsel] and I discussed very early on," Schultz told POLITICO on Sunday. "I was interested in continuing with private practice and saw this as a tremendous opportunity to go serve and get things up and running and the plan was to move on about this time. ... These are typically year-to-about-18-months-type positions."

    Yes, like all the other WaPo propaganda pieces, we do understand that Amazon and Google, ie WaPo, absolutely want to keep cheap immigrant labor flowing into the USA, want to expand their foreign child sweatshop labor sales, and want to continue to have all their special tax exemptions - so accordingly hate Trump for reasons of greed and power.

    Why did Democrats nominate the most corrupt and scummy person to ever run for President?

    Clinton was im
    I'd just point out Trump was impeached in 1998 for lying to congress under oath. His impeachment really had nothing to do with his sexual exploits outside of his lying about it. Political opponents always believe the worst and will always try to use whatever against their political opponents.

    I think Bill Clinton was a good president and was against his impeachment. That was overkill. A censure would have been just fine. Most Democrats in congress were willing to go along with that. Most Americans didn't want Clinton impeached, they were against it also. In fact Bill's approval rating improved from 59% to 65% from Dec 98 through Feb 99. That in itself speaks volumes. In other words the public thought the impeachment was nothing but political and had nothing to do with reality. Basically trying to overthrow a legal election.

    How would impeachment work with Trump. It depends on how America views it. If they view it as a political ploy or an attempted political coup, I am pretty sure it would backfire on the Democrats. Most Americans have accepted the election results of last year. Only die hard Clinton supporters, Democrats haven't.

    Trump isn't popular like Clinton was. If the public view the charges as real, with substance that Trump broke the law. They's jump on board. Trump has no wiggle room like Bill had.

    Yeah, cheating on his wife at work in the white house, has no moral effect. That is not what we teach our young, it's quite the opposite. Clinton was not a good president. It was his fault what happen to the realty industry. Allowing those who could not afford a house the ability to purchase one anyways. Resulting at the time a boost in the industry and economy, and most importantly the banks and government officials, but down the road such actions caused a terrible economic downfall.

    1992 pretty much decided on how most Americans view Bill's infidelity. But it also has to be noted that the woman's rights champion had her hands busy trying to destroy each and every woman that came forward. Almost all Democrats at the time also joined in the fray to discredit and destroy. Regardless, the 1992 election put it to rest, the people had spoken.

    Lewinsky was another matter, sex in the oval office. It had been done before, but that was in a bygone era where the media pretty much stayed out of a president's personal life even though most knew about it. Say what you will, most Americans liked how Bill Clinton Governed. Partisanship, political ideology also determines how an individual sees or judges a president.

    I would place Bill Clinton either the third or fourth best president in my lifetime. Eisenhower and JFK rank numbers one and two with me. Everyone sees things different and how they view a certain president is no different. The Republicans made a huge mistake in trying to impeach Bill. It was a loser from the get go. The public at around 60-65% was against impeachment and as history shows, there was no way to get 2/3rds of the senate to convict. A total waste of time, energy and money. For impeachment to be successful, first the public as a whole has to want it, approve of it. The impeachment came across looking like a political vendetta.

    Bill Clinton was not known then as he is known now. He is a disgusting pervert, liar, deceiver, and hell bent on war. He cares not of the people, nor the nation, rather his pockets.

    I believe what the people at Time said.,

    "The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year," a Time spokeswoman said in a statement. "Time does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6."

    "Amazing," tweeted Time's chief content officer, Alan Murray. "Not a speck of truth here — Trump tweets he 'took a pass' at being named TIME's person of the year."

    There is no reason for Time to lie. However, considering Trump narcissistic persona, there is a reason for Trump to lie.

    Besides, he has a track record of creating controversy out of thin air so that he can become the center of attention.

    Besides, he lies like a rug. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-claims-over-298-days/?utm_term=.6be74ff5c882

    Besides, he has every reason in the world to create diversions as Mueller is closing in.

    If you allow not just Trump but anybody, to know what it is that bothers you or triggers you, they are going to do it. Just something I picked up, in the game of life.

    You are the meme for self delusion.

    The Trump base is growing and strengthening - take a look at Alabama where Roy Moore is now chasing a twenty point lead.

    I think that stressing over his troubled tax bill and Mueller closing in on top of all his previous disappointments is finally pushing Trump over the edge; HE'S LOSING IT. . . .

    He's rescinded his previous apology and now saying the Access Hollywood tapes are " fake news", announced new plans to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, and a worried Congress is having frantic discussions on how to wrest the "nuclear football" from his grasp.

    It's only a matter of time. . . .

    Senator Lindsey Graham had this to say about Trump's endorsement of Roy Moore. I couldn't agree with him more (pardon the pun).

    He bemoaned Trump's support for Alabama Senate Republican candidate Roy Moore on Sunday, calling the move a lose-lose situation.

    "If he wins, we get the baggage of him winning, and it becomes a story every day about whether or not you believe the women or Roy Moore, should he stay in the Senate, should he be expelled?" Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union." "If you lose, you give the Senate seat to a Democrat at a time where we need all the votes we can get.

    "The moral of the story is don't nominate someone like Roy Moore who can actually lose the seat any other Republican could win," the South Carolina Republican told anchor Dana Bash. "And what I would tell President Trump: if you think winning with Roy Moore is going to be easy for the Republican Party, you're mistaken."

    Now who is responsible for Moore becoming the Republican nominee? Trump's base, that's who. The same people who voted for Trump in Alabama voted for Moore.

    Really, is that so. I can name a President and several politicians who have not been arrested. Where did you get that idea?

    Again, really? Are you making this up as you go along?

    Who said anything about Trump's victims giving their consent? During the election campaign Trump said he was going to sue his accusers. First off, does that sound consensual to you? Secondly, another lie, he didn't sue; why not? There is one very good reason.

    I'll let you figure that out.

    I can see why you don't respond directly to posts. You lack the knowledge to do so.

    Your statement was stupid because it had nothing to do with the post you were responding to.

    I did not say Trump was a pedophile. Moore is a pedophile.

    Nope, I am going by the original statement put out by the White House before Trump changed his mind. I am going by what Trump's daughter said about Moore. I am going by what multiple Republican Senators have said about Moore and the fact that, if he wins, they will want to unseat him.

    :roflol:Clinton was not convicted of anything. Clinton was not charged with adultery. Clinton was impeached by the House. He was tried by the Senate and they let him off the hook.

    I see, so you support Moore.

    Stands to reason. Trump's base voted for Moore. It was people like you who chose him to be the Republican nominee. Now, almost the entire Republican Party wants nothing to do with them and they want him to quit the race.

    Trump is the President. He is the leader of his party. His party controls both houses of Congress. He is responsible for all the failures in Washington much like the captain is responsible for what happens to his ship. Trump is the captain of the ship of state.

    His basic problem? He is an extremely poor leader. He acts more like a stand-up comedian than a President, and he lies like a rug. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...628-false-or-misleading-claims-over-298-days/

    How can you respect a man like that? You can't.

    When are you people going to learn that polls lie! You celebrated an early victory for Hillary because the polls told you so - only to be made into foolish looking dweebs. Roy Moore will win easily in Alabama.

    We'll have to wait for a year before we know how well Trump is doing - I have money and if you feel so confident I'll take odds that the Republicans continue to trounce Democrats.

    The "problem" is the product of lefty fantasyland. Everything posted in the OP about these men is nothing but lies.
