President Trump

[BrownArmy]

Nothing like the weirdness going on now.

Republicans are too relaxed, Democrats are freaking out disproportionately.

Mueller seems like a no-nonsense kind of guy - hopefully this won't drag on for years (a la Ken Starr), and hopefully both sides will accept the outcome, whatever it is.

As a piece of useless trivia.........Jeff Dunham was a best friend of Bruce Jenner. Don't know where that went with Caitlyn.

There's usually a honeymoon type period where the president is given a chance by the media into their first hundred days, this time though the media continued to hammer Trump before the election and hasn't let up. Trump is stupid for engaging the media that will never accept him, but if he backed off a bit and let the media and the Dems hit him the public opinion will likely lean towards him much like Clinton in the 90s when the Repubs hit Clinton hard with the scandal then. The public gets tired of one sided attacks and has a tendency to favor the attacked out of sympathy if they attacks go on too long, and in this highly active 24 hour news cycle it wouldn't take long if Trump didn't strike back but just made simple policy announcements while the Dems go after him for everything for people to get tired of what they view as petty drama and side with Trump.

And there in lies the problem. He has no policies. The administration is a disaster.

Yet the number of countries that refused under BHO to take back deported citizens has fallen from 20 to 12 under Trump.

about to listen to this. trump may very well get impeached. but even if he doesnt, america is screwed because trump is not going to bring the country back to like it was in the 1960s...mind you that wasnt even that great considering everyone knows JFK was partly responsible for the nuclear crisis. but at least hte economy was better (for certain segments of hte population, if not all)

"
Donald Trump is spectacularly bad at being president. Maybe the most extreme allegations about him are true: he is a Russian asset, compromised, taking orders from Moscow. He definitely is hiding all sorts of information about his finances. Regardless, it is clear he is wildly incompetent with no interest in even trying to understand his current job or the rules that govern it. Or maybe, Donald Trump is just an idiot. This week on Intercepted, investigative journalist Marcy Wheeler and The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald analyze the latest insanity emanating from the White House. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tim Weiner and Intercept writer Trevor Aaronson discuss the firing of James Comey and debate his FBI legacy. And Palestinian author and journalist Rula Jebreal explains why President Trump is going to Saudi Arabia and Israel on his first international trip."

Good lord you are so gullible. You are what you read, and you read a lot of stupid garbage.

"Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Algeria, Burkina Faso, the Gambia, Mali, Senegal and Sierra Leone are now off the list of recalcitrant countries."

OH YAY, Burkina Faso is now accepting their deportees back, all our immigration problems are solved! Thanks Trump. LMAO.

You buttercups were desperate. How many months did I have to read your drivel about how Hillary would go to jail?

as well she should , if you set up a private server and violated national security laws and lied about it you would go to jail.

democrats lost the offensive by asking for and receiving a special counsel. now they have to back off and let that investigation run unfettered.

Its going to come back to bite the Dems when the investigation finds only crimes committed were by leakers working with the Dems and Media.

Well we'll have to wait for the results of a dozen or so separate investigations first. Tit for tat.

Trump said firing ‘nut job’ Comey took pressure off Russia probe; White House official now ‘person of interest’: reports

Yet another NYT anonymous source.

They haven't had one in at least 2 or 3 days.

I'm glad Mueller is investigating. Hopefully it will bring out facts instead of just rumors.
