    The why didn't you do anything? I don't remember you saying anything about Trump; 'years' ago. Only now when the leftist cottage industry is 'hate 'Trump' fueled do you suddenly find your relative morality. Give me a break.

    I don't see this as a right wing Forum and I bet you can't prove what you posted.

    Jees the irony. As an independent I wonder if either side understands what they sound like. But, and this is just a judgment and might be wrong, it appears to be a lot more BS from the left than the right.

    A nothing burger from nowhere land. Thanks for proving my point that you got nothing but a bunch of chuckle-heads.

    What else could it be? You don't hear me complaining on here about evil rich people or envious of other people's lives, I am happy for them, I just want the left to leave me alone...
    That's all I wish for.

    Remind us who said " you didn't build that' it wasn't the right..

    Remind us who said " the basket of deblorables" it wasn't the right.

    You have to be joking. Heck, Gorn Captain ALONE was making five anti-Trump threads a DAY and this went on for months. I know; I started calling him out on it. I was like, c'mon, at least talk about sports or movies every once in a while. There were plenty more posters following his lead, although not with his zeal.

    So, do prove your assertion. Both of them actually, including your claim that this a right-wing forum.

    What self-righteousness! You think because you call yourself an independent that you get to judge others and how their opinions are formed? What a sack of malarkey. Get off your sanctimonious high horse...:rolleyes:

    No one in this thread said that. I certainly didn't. I have objections to Trump myself, which is why I didn't vote for him. I just don't hate him.

    Don't know whom you are citing, but I never claimed "highest" anything. I didn't even vote for Trump, nor did I even compliment him in the OP, I don't think.

    And "all this" that's "going on" is really nothing but smoke to this point, over-dramatized by a hungry, bitter media competing for ad dollars from Big pharma and GEICO. There may be fire under the smoke. of course.

    But it may also be -- and I think this more likely than "treason" -- that Trump is a political neophyte, and a naif, not a traitor, in the face of Russian intrigue. His son seems even more wet behind the ears, politically speaking.

    I just can't bring myself to fear or loathe Trump, and I do not understand those who do.

    I hereby condemn whatever thread there was evincing hate or violence for President Obama, but you're avoiding the question: Do you hate President Donald Trump? Why?

    Well, I said I might be wrong and it was a judgment call. Perhaps you should look up the psychiatric meaning of the word before you pull out your moral indignations and wave it around. People make judgment calls all the time. At least I'm decent enough to acknowledge I'm making one.

    But I stand by my comment. You need to dial down the progressive leftism. Your agenda is showing.

    BTW I just called BS. The acrimony of the left is hard to bear it being so misplaced.

    His lies, too often relying upon anecdotal evidence over fact, hyperbole over concision and ad hominem attacks over civility, ever evolving narratives, calling news based upon unnamed sources fake news but then hypocritically relying upon unnamed sources himself, etc.

    Stereotype.

    Then you wish for too much as in America we have basically have a two party system, so like them or not we are stuck with them. IMO the RNC is no better and either choice is just picking ones poison.

    Small vs large government is the choice although you have a point.

    With everything going on, with even GOP Senators now turning on Trump, while Trump makes it clear that he thinks Jeff Sessions is his personal lawyer, with 3 congressional bipartisan investigations in a R controlled Congress, and a highly respected special prosecutor being threatened, you go right ahead with your Alice in Wonderland journey.

    And the pathology of Trumpers is no mystery. We've seen it before with many dictators and despots, and their rise to power.

    Also an independent, not a member of the "left," but I dislike him ("hate" is kind of overkill) because
    • he falls for conspiracy theories
    • he promotes conspiracy theories
    • ironically, he complains when conspiracies about him pop up (he's a hypocrite)
    • he lacks integrity (you can read about that in his own book if the last couple years weren't enough to convince you)
    • he lacks intelligence (he speaks at the level of a middle-schooler)
    • he expresses no interest in having civil, reasonable discourse or debate
    • he exhibits a remarkably poor understanding of how the U.S. government works, as if he's never had a civics class
    • he exhibits a remarkably poor understanding of economics
    • he does not know how to make America great or what made America great in the first place
    There's more, but these are the most obvious.

    You're entitled to your opinion. There are Rino's in Congress who don't want anything changed esp 'draining the swamp'. They will oppose Trump quietly and are doing so. Many in America want them gone or to at least change.

    Sessions should never have recused himself. He hurt his boss esp by not discussing it with him first. I'd have fired him for it. It appears he is either going to play ball or get fired. Too bad if the latter as I like the guy even though I don't agree with all.

    There should never have been a Special Counsel. What a crock of crap. And there is no Republican on his team but just Dems and donors and supporters of HRC and the like. And now he wants to investigate Donald's business. Fire his azz. The FBI is capable of investigating although after all this time there is nothing. There is no crime to investigate. Nothing but 24 hr nonstop BS. And keep in mind I don't like Trump personally. He is the President though and this is my country. It's in a mess. Let the man have his chance.

    And you people aren't going to get rid of him. You're mucking up the running of the country for hyper-partisan purposes and that pisses me off. Get on board or at least be civil loyal opposition. Stop the constant BS attacks.

    I like good businessmen. All indications are that Trump was a bad businessman who lacks integrity.

    Fascism, massively useless wars, loss of freedom of speech, press, association.

    massive tax breaks for the wealthy, tax increases for the middle class, destruction of our healthcare system.

    and the loss of respect for the USA due to having a petty arrogant moron as POTUS

    Massive useless war? That's what the left wants with Russia. In fact, people in this forum are referring to Russia as our enemy. Nothing like massive warmongering from the left.

    I think you're confusing nationalism with fascism. There's been no erosion of your speech or assembly rights.

    See, there's the irrational fear I mentioned
    What war is he threatening?
