    Yes. Thanks for draining the swamp. Thanks to Trump, frauds like Flake are getting easier to spot.

    I'm curious. How does Trump manage to drain the swamp while flying to his own golf course and expensing the costs to the taxpayers?

    It's good to be President. Previous Presidents have enjoyed the same benefits.

    But returning from the deflection, it would be irrational to believe for a minute that swamp creatures would go quietly into the night. The important thing is, they go. Flake was a perfect example of a fraud who ran on one message, and once in office, legislated on another. It would seem he recognized voters would correct that mistake and chose to go down in flames.

    Previous Presidents played at their own privately owned golf courses, multiple weeks in a row, and expensed it to the taxpayers? I call bullshit.

    You don't give a **** about corruption. Your only concern is supporting Trump.

    I see this sort of flawed logic expressed by liberals here frequently -- this tendency to paint groups with a very big brush and then assume they think in lockstep. You do it with blacks (they're all going to love Obama and be Democrats), you do it with poor people (they'll never vote anything but Democrat and risk losing welfare), you do it with women (of course they should all support Hillary or they're misogynists), and here you're attempting to do it with Republicans. Republicans don't think all with the same mind any more than any other group. They run the gamut from moderate Republicans to ultra-conservative, with some RINOs thrown in the mix, and some folks who are really ready for retirement anyways and just want to go out in a blaze of glory. I don't find it surprising at all that they would not all be in lockstep agreement with Trump on every issue, nor would I draw any dramatic conclusions from it.

    Besides, I think a little shake-up wouldn't be a bad thing for either party.

    Don't be jealous on top of hateful. And I do give a **** about corruption, unlike those who chose to ignore the last 8 years, and the thing they wanted to be President. With that fact in mind, there isn't much room for those types to be hyperventilating about corruption.

    If you gave a **** about corruption, then your response to the CURRENT president using your taxpayer dollars to play golf multiple weeks in a row at his own private golf course (i.e. you are not only paying for him to golf, but your dollars are also going into his own private business) would be a hell of a lot more than "it's good to be the president."

    ****.

    LOL. Again, don't be jealous and hateful, and now, petty. It is indeed good to be President.

    Personally, I'd rather dollars go to support all those employees at Trump's properties, than to the mega rich benefactors who have loaned out their estates to a previous President or two, no doubt with big tax right offs enjoyed, and significant strings attached to that generosity.

    What is irresponsible is that the dems created a ruse, based upon lies, to use russia as a scapegoat for the stupidity of the dems, which will eventually come out. For there will never be any evidence that backs up this lying ruse by the dems. It is looking like the only collusion was between hillary and the DNC with russian actors, via the dude payed to get dirt on trump. LOL

    Congress usurping exec powers is the law breaking here. Or trying to give themselves those powers they do not have by the separation of powers.

    The only people who deny Russia's very real interference are Trumpists, who also happen to rely on Facebook and fake news for their information. :D

    Because I am only interested in the facts and truth. Unlike tribe members who are also neocons in ideology.

    The reason senators have the opinion that they do, without evidence, is because they want a cold war with russia, for the people who finance their campaigns, with many of them being neocons. You could tell as much just listening to the hearings. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, yep, you are looking at ducks. Russia as a great and evil enemy is good for business and good for those who profit from it. And if these jerks had evidence they would have seen to it that it was plastered all over MSM. Yet all we have seen is hyperbole and opinion, without the evidence to back it up. Trump, what he ran on, was such a threat to these sold out men, that even his own party went after him over a ruse. The evidence is in the lack of evidence. But this does not bother the people who think russia colluded with trump and that think russia turned over emails to Assange, based upon nothing but an accessment lacking evidence of either. In fact, both of these lies have slowly fell apart over time, and yet that does not matter to these people. And it does not matter to the people who believe them and their lack of evidence accusations. In fact, it is looking bad for the dems, hillary, and the DNC, and their dependence upon some russians to get dirt on trump. LOL Looks like the collusion was on the dem side. And the bitten dog barks. This ruse goes back to the end of 2015 if you look at the Podesta email on the subject, to tie trump in with russia...thanks to wilkileaks providing that truth to the People. But you can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink. Or you can lead the rubes to the truth, but you cannot make them accept it. Their tribalism will not permit it.

    But they have evidence. We all do. But for some reason you would rather ignore it and pretend that it's a conspiracy to vilify Russia unfairly..

    Then present it. For you would be doing something that has not been done. Greenwald would love to see it.

    Your evidence is a figment of your imagination. Assumptions does not evidence make. In fact, the only evidence presented came from VIPs and it is not something you would ever accept. And even the forensics used by the FBI by the DNC contractor proved to be hyperbole.

    Even Clapper said he had seen zero evidence. A political driven ruse caused increased tensions with russia, which of course you could not care less about, IMO. Well, it is irresponsible and something like we should expect to see out of NK.

    But hang around long enough and perhaps the truth will eventually come out, proving you wrong. Because of the lack of evidence.
