    That he does.

    Trumpites who revel in his theatrics, the latest being the stonewalling of Congressional subpoenas, should bear in mind "what goes around comes around."

    Well, Shanks, I'd have to put their intelligence level about midway between that of a cinder block and a hunk of clay.

    Nope. I don't care one way or the other, so it didn't cross my mind.
    Since I didn't support Clinton or Obama, and certainly not Trump, I realized I was going to come out on the short end on election night no matter who won.
    Depends on who they are. If they're Joe and Jane Average-American, they're not too swift if they think Trump is working on their behalf. If they're upper-middle class or higher, he's helping them to get more for themselves, at least in the shorter term.

    So what? Anyone with a median income or slightly higher who thinks Trump is working for them is dumber than a sack of hammers.

    You got it so bad you can't help yourself but demonstrate my point, that its ALWAYS somebody else's fault. Its an automatic and seemingly unconscious response with trump delusion sufferers.. Truly pavlovian (there's them russians again).

    I have no disdain for anyone on this board or anyone other then the criminal Trump. But we can’t sit there and listen to make beleive and wishful thinking by his supporters and take it as fact when it isn’t. It deserves correction. Btw, just being a citizen doesn’t immune anyone from critique especially Trump who is an utterly contemptible individual.

    Fatso said he wouldn't cut taxes for rich folks. He lied. Imagine how much average folks would have gotten if the 85% had been divided amongst people making less than $400,000 per year. Five or six times as much in cuts.

    As for me... I'm retired, and don't collect Social Security or use Medicare. I live part of the year here, part in Canada, and travel a couple of months a year, mostly in Europe. I'm just back from Australia and New Zealand. Class envy? I don't think so. :rolleyes:

    There has to be a bunch of Trump supporters on Medicare and or SS who depend on or are looking forward to both and still vote for Trump. Somehow they think the gop efforts to cripple and eliminate both systems is just a ploy to get under Dem’s skin.
    I think most Dems have reached a point where, they may be happy to have anyone who registered Republican or votes for Trump, just be dropped from the rolls of each and have their FICA contributions returned with interest. Go for it. Wait in the hospital ER rooms for all your healthcare needs when you’re 80.

    He is wrong. True Republicans should not be confused with Trump Republicans. Trump Republicans are not true Republicans and they are the gullible bunch that make up Trump's base.

    For crying out loud. Do not tell me you do not realize how many more Americans now have a job. My own grandson had he graduated during Obama would be having to look for a job. But he has a high paying job waiting for him to graduate. I see it in person. High employment is spreading all over to America.

    But for a president to make that happen is making America great.

    Those were not criminal charges. They were civil and he did not admit guilt in either case.

    You are correct. (never thought I would say that)
    Trump Republicans will support Trump regardless.
    A true republican would show at least a modicum of support for their President as opposed to bad mouthing him/her/alphabet multiple times per day.

    Oh is that why he beat Bill Clinton? Bush 41 was hated. 43 turned out to be a fine president. Not of course were you a Muslim terrorist. They hated Bush. And so did Democrats who joined with the Terrorists against our own President.

    I see little difference between true republicans and the fanatics. It seems to be just by degree. Their so called conservative bent toward trickle down, healthcare and AGW was, is and will continue to be fake news, even in the case if so called moderates like Rubio. By their sheer nature, they are driven by the infallibility of the free market to the extent they rationalize they themselves being bought off by big money. From Trumpets to the classic Republican, they differ only by degree.

    The Mueller Report, despite being written by Angry Democrats and Trump Haters, and with unlimited money behind it ($35,000,000), didn’t lay a glove on me. I DID NOTHING WRONG. If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only......

    .....are there no “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” there are no Crimes by me at all. All of the Crimes were committed by Crooked Hillary, the Dems, the DNC and Dirty Cops - and we caught them in the act! We waited for Mueller and WON, so now the Dems look to Congress as last hope!

    5:18 AM - Apr 24, 2019

    My God, this man is an idiot. This is the same President who said 138 million people were killed in Sri Lanka. and he confused the president and the prime minister.

    My sixth grade neighbor knows the Supremes have absolutely nothing to do with impeachment. It's no wonder Trump's fans don't even try to defend him. How do you defend against such stupidity?

    Only a few and only when they are representing a district or state that requires more Democratic votes to get re-elected.

    The same guy whose so ignorant of math, he clams one million illegals were bussed into NH in 20k busses on Election Day.....and no one noticed. You have to be really slooooow to buy any of his statements. Most will claim, they know he lies, he’s just trying to P.O. Dems to which they agree. The problem is, while he’s doing it, he’s doing nothing for his base.

    Allow me to defend Trump my own way.

    Trump has been targeted almost entirely by Democrats since the day he was sworn into office. Actually we can see they targeted him since the day he was elected. But since he was sworn into office, suddenly they lashed out at him with plenty of charges.
    1. He and the Russians as buddies cast a pall over the election by working in harmony to demolish our election system.

    Bull poop. Trump never was guilty. Mueller has proven that totally. But we knew he was not guilty for a number of reasons.

    1. Trump was not contacted by the Russians charged by Mueller. None of them and Trump talked.
    2. A tower in Russia had been discussed but so what? Men that rich are almost always wanting to build projects.
    3. The Russian woman at the Trump tower fooled the Trump son. She talked of adoption. While the son did want dirt on Hillary, bear in mind Hillary paid for Russian dirt on Trump from a source pretending to be an inside Russia source.
    I won't worry about the fringe players nabbed by Mueller due to their acts predating the Trump election.

    But when Trump is not guilty of the main charge, he is not guilty at all. Mueller was not seeking obstruction. Firing Comey is not obstruction. Comey alleged constantly in sworn testimony he was not after Trump nor investigating Trump.

    I never said Trump is working for the worker bees. He is taking care of his billionaire friends first. But, the video is a classic. No? LOL
