Oh gawd. You got scammed into supporting Trump. He told you what you wanted to hear and you actually thought he would look after Logger. Heavens know why but you and millions of others fell for the same trap. Its time to learn from your mistake and move on. Im sure there is some other short sighted selfish ******** conman you can throw your weight behind, because supporting Trump while he blunders from one crisis to the next, just because he upsets the left is the very definition of the saying "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

McCain rejoinder to Trump's Whining:
"I've been treated a lot worse then you have". That's the McCain I switched party registration to vote for in the primaries in 2000,and who seems to be coming back after an absence. |

No, but at this stage I think a reasonable person could admit she couldn't be worse than Trump.
And perhaps I was a bit harsh. I appreciate that Trump was an experiment from the right, but failed experiments need to be revaluated and discarded if there is no further benefit to them. Trumps a buffoon and he is making America a GREAT laughingstock. I wouldn't want him negotiating a deal on a 2 dollar trinket at a flea market for me, let alone the fate of my entire country. |

Turmoil and chaos are having a party in the White House, so the question is, how did such an uncontrolled party occur despite the many warnings regarding Trump prior to election day that he was unfit to handle the job as President of the United States? Now, they are watching reruns of Watergate in the White House movie room. |

I can see Trump trying to coverup a nonexistent crime. Maybe he decides to destroy documents, tamper with witnesses, ect not for any specific reason but because he thinks it is the cautious move. Or maybe he gets super paranoid and decides that unless he takes drastic measures, that he's going be framed by the special prosecutor.

And Trump has responded to the latest developments in his usual calm measured way:
Trump: FBI inquiry is 'greatest witch hunt' in history
Quote:
Quote:
Oh and of course a certain William Clinton might dispute the whole 'greatest witch hunt' claim |

"It was the greatest impeachment in history and... at the time of the impeachment congress had its lowest ratings. It was dying, you know? Very low talent, low energy. And then it got the highest ratings in years. Years. And now... an inmate told me the other day, I was the best president ever, and I'm the best cellmate ever. Told me this, I couldn't believe it. You couldn't believe how smart these people in here can be, and they can appreciate talent when they see it."

I see no way that Pence will ever become an elected President. If or when Trump falls, he will kick and scream and take everyone down with him. Remember: Everybody within his realm ends up diminished.
Even if, in the end, only the 9% conspiracist fringe voters still stick with Trump to blame the evil establishment, those 9% will be missing from Pence's voting potential, and that'll cost him any hypothetical future. More likely, he will drown in Trump's maelstrom and not even succeed the Don if Don gets the sack. |

Here's someone who thinks that the appointment of a special counsel will help Trump to conceal important questions. Some of Trump's worst misconduct may not be provably criminal, which is what the SC will focus on.

God, that is almost exactly the line of argument that the Nixon Adminsitration took.
Looks as if Trump was not kidding when he said he wanted to be a President just like Nixon...except Nixon has a lot more brains, and actually,until his dark side took over,had a fairly impressive list of acheivements,unlike Trumpy. |
