    I wonder how much the Iran Agreement, payment from Adelson and Ryan's resignation have to do with one another... a man who couldn't be bought?

    Lyin Ryan has timed his retirement for January 2019 at which time he will have the required 3 years at his Speakers salary to maximize his retirement pay which he will be eligible for when he reaches age 50.This is something that needs to be addressed the early age at which Federal,State ,military and other government jobs can retire???At full retirement pay for life.We in the civilian none government jobs saw over 100,000 private pension plans cancelled within10 years of the introduction of the 401K plan.We need to do the same to government Federal,State,Local,Mun icipal and any other branches of government we have.

    Oh I don't think he got into it to make himself personally more wealthy, but to make his children more wealthy. Passing the tax bill that eliminated the estate tax just netted his children a couple billion.

    To paraphrase Neil Cavuto, it is real difficult to drain the swamp when you are the one filling it with your lies.

    I found a video of Trump draining the swamp.

    The professionals in washington are the corrupt swamp rats who dont like an outsider beating them at their own game

    You just analogized lobbyists working for the Trump administration to criminals who act as CIs for the FBI.

    I dont know where onama was born

    All anyone has to go by is a digital image that he claims is his birth certificate

    But no independent forgery experts were ever allowed to examine it

    And it took years of pressure just to get thst from him

    So I dont say he’s kenyan by birth because I dont know

    Nor do I know if he was born in hawaii either

    Because he is a hypocrite? Because he said he would not allow lobbyists in his administration and thus is a liar? Because lobbyists will only get what they want through him by also supplying something of his benefit to him, his family, or his associates and thus he is self-serving?

    Its immaterial to me as long as they do their job

    On the lib side political operatives leave the democrst adminstration and pretend to be unbiased journalists in the major media

    Thats far worse on my opinion

    well there certainly is evidence that he refuses to impose the sanctions that Congress passed. And thst he has had a lot of business dealings with Russian oligarchs. And that his campaign tried to collude with Russia. And that Russia favored Trump's election and actively supported his campaign.

    What we don't know yet is how in debt to the Russians he is but I suspect Mueller has some pretty solid evidence.

    Russia rewarded Obama for his flexibility in just one term. You can't credit Trump for Obama's work

    And exactly how did Russia reward Obama? And what does thst actually have to do with Trumps behaviors toward Russia other than the only defense anyone seems to have for Trump is to cry Obama did it.

    They accepted his offer. More flexibility. So they knew they had the window to hack during Obama's term.

    Obama just loves the Ruskies.

    I am leaning on that if Mueller had evidence of any illegality on Trump's part he would have already disclosed it or it would have been leaked. But I am willing to wait and see.
