    Coming from many other people, I would have taken that to be a rhetorical question.

    But since there is no indignity, no lie, no treason, no betrayal, and no corruption that Trumpster useful idiots won't cheer for, I'm guessing it is not.

    He kissed Putin's ass in public. That is indisputable.

    And spare me the drivel about open dialogue. Trump didn't care one whit about open dialog when he was busy publicly insulting the Canadian and British Prime Ministers or the German Chancellor.

    He apologized for the United States several times, both in person and on Twitter.

    He actually publicly entertained the idea of turning a US official over to the Russian secret police.

    He hinted at endorsing Russian takeover of the Crimea, and hinted the Ukraine was on the table.

    He insulted our allies, needlessly (and falsely) to their faces.

    He lied frequently (although that is normal).

    To even suggest that there is anything normal or acceptable about Trump's clownish, irresponsible and petulant behavior is downright un American.

    You have to take some responsibility for those extremes. You might start by not listening to Trump's victim rhetoric and expect more civility and factual information.

    The odds of Trump getting rid of Dan Coats are great.

    Trump does not tolerate dissent.

    He places submission long before competence.

    The same intel folks that Schumer warned Pres Trump about? That if trump doesn't believe everything intel tells him, even when not based upon fact, that intel can go after a president 6 ways from sunday?

    Trump had best be very careful, and allow appointed men to run this nation instead of an elected president. Hell, why not just turn over the oval office to the CIA and other intel agencies? Get rid of the electing of a president.

    That intel, who is supposed to work for the president, has worked against him since day one is not how this is supposed to work. When it gets to this point, may as well just turn over the oval office to non elected men. Like Brennan, and Clapper, and their ilk. Quite popular to govern this way in some places on earth.

    Was he in danger? Or perhaps given the leaks that have been used to try to hurt a sitting president, to castrate him, trump didn't want his talk with putin to be detailed in the NYT, MSNBC, and CNN?

    Enough people trusted trump enough to elect him. Deal with it. If you don't like how trump runs the show, elect someone else. It is an elected office, after all.

    No one called for a military coup. Congressman Cohen of Texas asked where the military was in what I assume must mean they must be upset.

    An agreement they haven't been living up to and according to inspectors, the ability to shield sites by claiming they are vital National Security facilities off limits to inspectors.

    Then there is their announcement they plan to create a Nuclear Navy, and will be building infrastructure to support that, all off limits to inspectors.

    One hell of an agreement.

    And don't forget, those allies are dependent on Iranian oil to survive, so their motivations might be a bit skewed.

    You think it was just fine for a POTUS to trash our Intel people and side with Putin. That is not prostrating?
