The Right Man at the Right Time
No matter what he does, a large part of the country will never accept Donald Trump as our president. Hollywood will never like him, not that that matters any longer, since the implosion of Harvey Weinstein has shown the entire lot of virtue signaling miscreants to be morally bankrupt.
The media will always be against him. They may have been head over heels for Barry the “lightworker,” “sent to help us evolve,” but it will always be “he can’t do anything right,” for Trump.
The hardcore progressives, around 20% of the population, will forever loathe him and regular “run of the mill” Democrats will never think of him as anything but illegitimate -- that’s been the media’s meme since last November.
Even many “middle of the road” Republicans -- who in essence, stake out positions once held by mainstream Democrats before the party mutated into a hard-left progressive movement -- don’t like him either.
Yet, there is a silent majority in this nation who are willing to give the man a chance to succeed. I know the media are already calling his presidency a failure after ten months, but that was expected.
This silent majority believes in America as something of value, unlike the Democrats, who constantly tell us the country is racist and unfair. Yet, they don’t want to stand up in public, or on the job, or even with friends, because they don’t want to be screamed at, or passed over for promotion, or lose friends over politics. That’s the thing about the regular guy or gal trying to survive in this world. They and their families have bad habits, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They don’t need drama. They just want to survive.
The difference between conservatives and progressives is that we view progressives as mistaken or misinformed, whereas progressives view us as evil. It’s understandable that most choose to remain quiet about their politics. Who wants to be the evil guy?
Silence may be the requisite tact in this age of snowflakes, virtue signaling, and Twitter shaming, but there will always be elections. In fact, this is why America has always had a secret ballot. It prevents exactly the type of intimidation progressives utilize in the public square.
The Democrats have been decimated at the polls since Barack Obama took the party leftward. The Republicans now control 33 governorships and 32 statehouses including 26 trifectas, which occur when the governor’s office and both houses of the state legislature are controlled by the same party; the Democrats have six trifectas.
Barry had skills with respect to his own election and reelection, but his attempts, in his own words, at “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” devastated his party because, without him, his coalition of the ascendant crumbled.
We also make our opinions known with our dollars. We can choose to spend them on what we want, and choose not to spend them when we don’t want to, as the NFL, ESPN, and Hollywood are just now learning.
We may not want to argue in public but we make our feelings known. I used to go to four or five movies a year, no more, and even though I was never a big ESPN guy, choosing movies and hour-long dramas on cable over sports TV, I would watch it perhaps an hour a week, which now I no longer do. I read and write about politics, I don’t want politics with my sports. Sports have always been an escape, but the progressive harpies can’t have that, they must control everything. As far as the NFL is concerned, in the past, I would never miss a Jets game (I know, stop laughing, this is a serious article), this year, I don’t think I’ve seen an entire game all season.
Donald Trump, however, refuses to be silent, and you have to respect him for it. For far too long, the Republicans have allowed progressives to dictate the conversation. Utilizing this capability, progressives portray anyone who doesn’t agree with them as heinous. With their control of the media and the entertainment industry, anytime someone diverges from the liberal path, he is publicly vilified. No one wants to be the villain, so most Republicans try to never disagree -- at least, for attribution.
Donald Trump is having none of that; he doesn’t care what anyone says, he stands by his convictions and that has long been missing from our elected Republicans. It is said that politics is Hollywood for ugly people. Yet those people want to be famous, just like those in Hollywood. Sixes and sevens all want to be nines and tens. They want to be invited to all the right parties; they want to rub shoulders with George Clooney and Meryl Streep, some wouldn’t mind being groped by Ben Affleck. They want to go on “The View’ and have Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar fawn all over them and tell them how great they are for being so progressive.
Trump doesn’t care; he has already done that. He already is a star. His greatest asset is his ego because he knows who he is and he doesn’t care what people say. In the past, when the left challenged a Republican, the Republican would fold. You can’t win a war if you are afraid to hurt your opponent, just as Obama’s Rules of Engagement (ROE), where our troops weren’t allowed to fire first (the first war in history of mankind where one side was not allowed to shoot first) was losing the war against ISIS and in Afghanistan, conservatives were losing the war of ideas against the autocratic progressive claque.
As an aside, note how long it took our troops to roll up ISIS when the ROE were changed and Obama’s policy of “pursue and let retreat” was changed to “pursue and destroy.”
Trump is not perfect, but he is the perfect man in the age of Twitter. He tells it as he sees it, and he isn’t afraid to make hard decisions and to be portrayed in the media as a buffoon and a failure. He realizes that even were he to bow to the media as deeply as Obama bowed to every potentate and Islamic dictator in the world, the media would still call him a buffoon and a failure. John McCain learned that lesson, although by how he votes today, not well enough. When he was the “Maverick,” trying to walk the liberal path while still being a Republican, the media loved him because he played their game, but once he ran against Obama, they destroyed him.
Trump bows to no man, and that’s what many like about him because a president should never bow. The United States of America doesn’t bow. We finally have a president who will stand up and fight. He dictates the conversation; he calls out the other side, something a Republican would never do because God forbid, he doesn’t get invited to the latest “in” party. Trump doesn’t care; he’s been to all the “in” parties.
Like him or not, he is the first president, aside from Reagan, who has made any effort to keep his promises -- and he will fight as the left fights. Barry lived off executive orders maintaining that if Congress wouldn’t act, he would use his phone and his pen.
Trump has often criticized Obama for using executive orders exclusively to implement his agenda in the last seven years of his presidency. Now, Trump will use them himself to implement his policies, many of which are a rollback of Barry’s attempt at radically transforming the nation.
Trump is willing to fight the way the left fights. He is willing to get down and dirty and fight in the mud if he has to. When they insult him, he insults back. When they ridicule him, he ridicules back. When they throw a punch, he throws a punch and he is not afraid to throw the first punch either (see the NFL, see the media).
I learned a long time ago that you can’t win a fight unless you’re willing to do whatever your opponent is willing to do.
Trump is willing to use every single weapon progressives have always used.
It’s not only about time we had a president like Donald Trump, it is the right time, because if he fails all is lost for the nation.

Donald Trump, however, refuses to be silent, and you have to respect him for it
Stupid loud mouths get no respect from me, nor from a majority of Americans. Trump could do himself a yuge favor by saying a lot less. Of course, he won't, his ego demands it. Just in case you haven't noticed, Trump and his family are indeed, evil. Who else but an evil person would actively look to have a nuclear war, would deliberately destroy healthcare for the poor in America, praise neo-Nazi's while excoriating Americans peacefully protesting, increase pollution, open up pristine landscapes to polluting industries like oil, gas, and mining. Even if you remain quiet, which you won't, that doesn't relieve you of your responsibility.
So you are more concerned with what he says instead of what he does?
I said what said and I meant it. If was to comment on his actions, I would say that he would be doing ,America a yuge favor if he was to resign.
So, in reality, you are a Mike Pence supporter. Good to know. I'm sure his eventual campaign will reach out to you for a donation.
I remember the Silent Majority. They brought us Nixon, Agnew and his nattering nabobs of negativity, Kissinger and a host of crap from which we never quite recovered as a nation.
This regime and its witless group of minions will take even longer to right, if we don't collectively go down in flames first. The latter of which seems far more likely. Lock 'n load lil Lizards, the center cannot hold.
I guess cowardice and a desire for an authoritarian system runs in the fambly. My best goober guess is that these folks who still support Trump and his Merry Band of Bidness Kooks would have been, at best, Tories during the Rev and, at worst, Happy Einsatzgruppen Fun Boys during other, darker times. And, Girls.
We are Doomed.
"Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not until then." Lucy Parsons
Kennedys, Clintons, etc...
It does! Nothing shows a desperate need for an authoritarian system than a liberal who needs government to control all aspects of their lives.
And nothing shows a desperate need for an authoritarian system than a rightwinger who needs government to control all aspects of other people's lives.*
* i.e., sexual preferences, sexuality in general, medical decisions, childbirth, reproduction, whom one marries, the ability to vote........
I can't help but laugh when and HRC supporter brings up Nixon. Just imagine what would have happened to her back then.
Not sure just what immoral and illegal act you'd have wished for her but I thought it might interest you that as a young lawyer she worked for the House Judiciary Committee's Watergate investigation so I guess your retroactive threat of harm to her is just your fertile imagination at work.
most folks just didn't want another liberal on the Supreme Court.
with liberals judges trying to be lawmakers, that is a very important.
That's the main reason I voted for Trump...you know Hillary would have packed the SC with liberals.
This another installment of "Big Lies Rightwingers Must Believe Despite All Evidence to the Contrary," namely that most "folks" who voted last year did not want the Bloated Orange Glob who lives in the WH right now.
Hollywood will never like him
He certainly loves Hollywood
"When you're a star they let you do it, you can do anything..."
Sounds like Trump had been hanging out with Harvey.
What I find most interesting is that almost everyone on the left comes out just ripping Harvey apart as the vile piece of trash he is, but when Trump says he grabs women by their genitals, that he just starts kissing them, that you can do anything when you're a star the conservatives defend him tooth and nail claiming it's just "locker room" talk and try to deflect back to someone on the left who did something similar. Trump had over a dozen women come out and accuse him of misconduct, groping and assault but none of the conservatives want to believe them and claim the women must be lying. Harvey has a dozen or more come out making similar accusations and the conservatives start screaming about being justified in their hatred of Hollywood. Can you get more hypocritical? I think not.
And his old buddy jeffery epstien.
You mean the jeffery epstien that is goid friends with bill clinton who has been a frequent flier on his plane, "The Lolita Exoress? The same jeffery epstien that had bill as a guest to his "pedophile island" multiple times?
That jeffery epstien?
This is funny. Real Sexual assault (let me connect the dots for you) vs. vile locker room talk. And Locker Room talk wins for the worst offense. Since the election, where have all those accusers gone? Why did they not accuse him when he was just a business man and much easier to sue? While we're at it, I'm sure you've seen all the pictures of women palling around with Weinstein that are now accusing him of everything form lewd behavior to rape.
And real sexual assault is not what bothers you the most? Really?
I would imagine they sense a certain futility in suing the president of the United States
Trump says he might have done something.
Clinton and Harvey have been proven to having committed sexual assault and worse.
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/president-trump-subpoenaed-over-sexual-misconduct-allegations-n810871
At least one is still suing, the others were told the statute of limitations for their sexual misconduct claims had expired. Does it mean he didn't assault them? Of course not, it just means that like Harvey Weinstein, he's going to get away with it because he and his lawyers were able to shut the victims up for long enough with threats and pay offs. Sadly, Trump has even gotten away with the rape of a 13 year old who was told she didn't have enough physical evidence from 1994 when she was now strong enough to put up a fight.
And as for his comments being "locker room talk", I have never heard such admissions of guilt in any locker room I've been in. Have some guys made tasteless jokes? Sure. Have some made lewd comments about women? Yes. Have any talked about how they assault women without their consent? Saying they grab women by their genitals and that women let them do it because they're a star or that they just start kissing them because they can't help it? Hell no, they would get reported by anyone hearing such disgusting comments. You elected a self admitted sexual predator and your only excuse has been that 30 years ago an ex-President had a consensual affair with an adult intern. Other than that all accusations against President Clinton were the same as the accusations against Trump, unproven. I'm not saying Clinton wasn't a lecherous pervert, I believe he was and I do believe some of those women who accused him of inappropriate behavior, I just don't think that gives Trump any excuse. If you believe the retracted rape claim that was never proven from the late 1970's about Clinton, then you should also believe the 13 year old girls claim which hasn't been retracted, it simply didn't have enough physical evidence to prove in court.
When was that? I'm not defending any sexual assault, but all that was "proven" against Bill Clinton was that he had a consensual relationship with an adult intern. The other claims against him are in the same category as the 13 year old girl who has accused Trump of raping her in 1994 but didn't have enough physical evidence to prove it in court.
And yet, Bill Cosby is hauled to court for stuff that was way past the fluid 'Statute of Limitations'. Please. Again, please answer why they didn't accuse/sue prior to him running for president....you know, when he was just a businessman and could easily be sued by any number of hungry lawyers looking to make a name for themselves.
who he was the supervisor of......which violates just about every rule in government, and yet NOW stood behind him, after he used his position to get a blowjob in the Oval Office and experimenting with cigars......at least when Kennedy had cigars, as far as we know, he just smoked them.....
Please do show me the law that says Presidents or anyone else in a position of power is not allowed to have a consensual relationship with an employee. I know certain companies have it in their company manuals and often when relationships happen have to move the employee to a different department so as not to have any conflicts of interest, but I know of no laws that were broken in the Lewinski case until the President was put under oath and tried to weasel out of the questions by giving a half truth which was used by Republicans to push impeachment. Trump lies daily but no Republicans seem to care, talk about hypocrisy.
Oh, and I notice you keep dodging the rape of the 13 year old girl that Trump has been accused of. Why is that?
Completely false statement. Cosby went to trial for a rape from 2004 which was within the statute of limitations in the State it occurred, the dozens of other women who accused him weren't able to go to trial and most virtually all of them were kept out of the trial because they were past the statute and weren't admissible which is why the case ended in a mistrial. I would think even half wits would want to do even a smidgen of research before making easily disproven statements, it would keep them from making such fools of themselves.
"Trump has even gotten away with the rape of a 13 year old" - proof????
Sex with subordinates is sexual harassment.
Your Trump rape bullshit was debunked above.
Still not sexual assault.
The Trump rape "BS" as you claim was never debunked, it was "dropped" due to a lack of physical evidence. It is as valid as any other claim of rape you keep repeating against Clinton, Cosby or Weinstein that doesn't go to trial because none of them have any "physical evidence" of something that DID happen several years prior and took a long time for the victim to come forward. You can "poo poo" it all you want, but if you believe the Wienstein accusations based just on a victims word then you should believe that 13 year old girl who says she was raped by Donald Trump regardless of her ability to present "physical evidence" of the rape that occurred 15 years before she came forward, which is the same number of years Clinton's accuser from 1977 waited who was a twice married woman at the time before she was paid by Republicans to make her claim in 1992 then recanted her statement. Trumps accuser has never recanted her statement.
This is a blatant lie BTW. If you can prove that an employer/employee consenting adult relationship is "sexual harassment" please prove it instead of just making false statements.
One day that may be used as an insanity test.
"He tells it as he sees it, and he isn’t afraid to" lie, lie, lie, even in the face of demonstrably provable facts.
www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23/opinion/trumps-lies.html
www.snopes.com/2017/07/12/trump-lies/
What the majority of America hate about Donald is he appears immune to facts, and apparently that's what the 35% that still approve of him love. He lies to them about bringing coal jobs back, he lies about his crowd sizes, he lies about millions of imaginary illegal voters, he lies about his predecessor not calling military families who've lost loved ones, he lies about draining the swamp, he lies about almost everything. The only thing which has been consistent about Trump is that you can't trust anything he says. And on top of his lies all the conservatives give him a pass for being a self admitted sexual predator by bringing up 30 year old unproven claims about an ex-President that wasn't running for any office. I'm sure those "Two Corinthians" would have considered it all "locker room talk" as well. Any conservative religious folk who think they have some moral high ground are fooling themselves more than Trump fooled his contractors when he told them he'd pay them for their work, then grabbed $39 million in "consulting fees" from the LLC he created and then filed bankruptcy, again.

I'm still trying to figure out all these "great" things that trump has supposed to have done
Well, they almost have him potty-trained, but not quite...
Um, Trump was a part of hollywood, he had his own reality show, you know that, right? Also, you are condemning all of Hollywood because of Weinstien? So I can say that all Christians are child molesters because of Josh Duggar? All conservatives are racist murderers because of Dylann Roof?
Many on the left have been doing just that for years. Where have you been?
Hollywood - where they make movies.
Where did they make the Apprentice?
No matter what he did in his life you would find fault with it. He was fine as a business man, then he entered politics and suddenly everything he ever did is wrong, bad, illegal, etc., etc.
Seems more of a 'you' thing than a 'him' thing.
He was not fine as a businessman. He was, and is, a con and a fraud. He was sued something like 4,000 times because of his fraudulent business practices. No one ever thought he was a fine businessman.
do you have any idea how difficult it is to win a Presidential election?
any?
I would even give Hillary kudos for it, but she is a two time loser.
Wow! That's a lot of lawsuits.
Who knew!
Who knew? Educated voters. Correction: over 3,500, plus more than 100 since he became Presidunce.
Here are a few:
Educated eh? And you missed it by 500 give or take?
Dilly, dilly for you.
I can admit a mistake. And it may be 4,000 from other reports I heard, which it may well be, but the article said 3,500, so fine. The site would not allow me to make the correction.
Can you admit the horrendous mistake you made of voting for a man who intends to drive America into its grave?
Jumping posts are we?
Anyway, how predictable. Which is why i clarified my comment in the other post. Like i said, things made up in your head don't count so no. It wasn't a mistake.
The real mistake would have been if the other person got in. No doubt about that.
Jumping posts are we?
Huh? We're not talking about your admittedly false statement. That was a different post. Different mistake. This mistake is about you voting for Trump.
The real mistake would have been if the other person got in.
Then you are responsible when your Dear Leader, the traitor, takes the country to hell.
That's a good one. A serial bankrupt self admitted sexual predator and you're claiming we have to "find fault". Trump is the poster boy for vile disgusting perverted narcissists, you don't have to do much research to find that out. He's said if his daughter wasn't his daughter he'd want to date her. How much more gross can you get? Or is that a common compliment at southern inbred family reunions so it doesn't phase the average conservative Republican?
All is lost for the nation - oh no - not all.
Perhaps a certain ugliness of the American spirit might be lost - but that ugliness seems to be quite resilient.
Perfectly posited …
The ugliness within the American spirit comes mostly from its theocratic dominionists and hard-core right wing reactionaries.
The real ugliness in the American spirit comes from a minority of the people. The squeaky wheels if you will. They reside in the far fringes of both right and left wing partisan politics. True believers in their minority fundamentalist beliefs. They are easy to spot. They are never, never wrong and are constantly bagging on that which they don't agree with.
Yep, we have some of those dandies right here on NT. Some of them remind me of folks i knew over on NV. Sadly, few of those are brave enough to share the names they used over there.
That said, a majority of the American spirit is much more independent than those fundamentalists. Not easily shoehorned into the partisan politics being spewed by the hive on the left or the hive on the right. They can think for themselves. Unfortunately they aren't the squeaky wheel but beware. When they do start squeaking the fundamentalists will get squished. On both sides
Oh, then I guess you would be willing to retract your admittedly false statement?
If i made one, sure. Ones that are made up in your head don't count though.
Sorry charlie.
See 12.1.1
And my name's not Charlie, Bucko
See 11.2.1.2 not charlie.
And yes, i agree with 12.1.1
A lot of truth in that one.
Except that it totally contradicts your other comment.
Oh well, you can talk to yourself now and have a nice day.
Only in your twisted partisan mind since I already stated the problem is on both sides. So yeah, run away. You lost this one.
Most of Trumps supposed lies are simply statements made out of ignorance, many others are those of the insecure braggart unwilling to concede an inch.
Hillary's lies, on the other hand, are of the premeditated variety, vetted by lawyers and carefully rehearsed.
The election was a choice between the spontaneous braggart and the calculated, rehearsed liar.
Yes basically a choice between an established and impressively networked liar and criminal and an amateur who everyone can tell is lying. Though choice?
An amateur criminal.
We ended up with an egotistic narcissistic braggart, that lies with abandon even when it serves no purpose. No win here.
You must think Trump is pretty ignorant! But you don't seem to know much about narcissist pathological liars.
Sure, whatever. I don't know what prism you view the world of politics, but anybody with sense and a working brain can see exactly what each has said and done. Or maybe you belong to the world of 'values voters', where Bannon's racism and republican glorification of greed is more important than the values Jesus actually espoused. We saw how Obama conducted himself, and we see how Trump conducts himself. Nuff said.
Yup.
The latest reports indicate that the FBI has evidence that Obama knew a year and a half ago that Russians were using bribery and spying to grab US held Uranium - BEFORE the Uranium One deal was allowed to proceed with Hillary and Holder's blessings - BEFORE Bill Clinton was paid $500k for a speech by the Russians - BEFORE the Clintons had been paid $145 million under the table to allow the deal to proceed, that Robert Mueller (FBI Director at the time) and James Comey were complicit in the deal.
In other words - Dingle-Barry and his cohorts - Clintons, Mueller, Comey, Lynch were all directly involved in treasonous behavior. Turns out there WAS Russian collusion - the only fly in the ointment being that Special Prosecutor Mueller, the Clintons, Comey and Obama himself were the culprits.
BTW - It turns out Comey drafted the letter of exoneration for Hillary two full months before the 12 central witnesses in her obstruction investigation were even interviewed, or the 33000 emails she deleted and scrubbed were recovered.
Add to this illegal unmasking of US citizens, ongoing investigations of illegal wiretapping, pay-offs to the Iranians and the Russians.....We do indeed see just what sort of man Dingle-Barry is.
Yup.
New record set every week for the stock market, lowest unemployment in 12 years, highest participation in the job market, GDP increase percentage has doubled since Trump took office, China and Russia working WITH us in the UN for the first time ever, illegal border crossing reduced to a trickle.....and a new Tax plan on the way that will reduce tax burdens and further invigorate the economy.
Double "yup".
I hope you thanked Obama for all that good economic news because Trump and republicans haven't done jack to anything yet. Meantime, our standing in the world has been greatly diminished, respect and trust may never come back in my lifetime, and we have racists feeling like their boy is in the House and they are emboldened to have hate marches and speeches at will. And I'm not even mentioning the disgrace Trump brought on himself over what happened in Niger. Ooops, guess I couldn't help it because it might be the most disgusting Trump has done and said so far. For shame.
Wait, you mean the very president that DOUBLED the US debt during his time in office should be thanked? You must have taken a very large drink from the Kool Aid.
The most obvious way in which the true cost of this war was kept hidden was with the use of supplemental appropriations to fund the occupation. By one estimate , 70% of the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2003 and 2008 were funded with supplemental or emergency appropriations approved outside the Pentagon's annual budget. These appropriations allowed the Bush administration to shield the Pentagon's budget from the cuts otherwise needed to finance the war, to keep the Pentagon's pet programs intact and to escape the scrutiny that Congress gives to its normal annual regular appropriations.
With the Iraq war treated as an "off the books" expense, the Pentagon was allowed to keep spending on high-end military equipment and cutting-edge technology. In fiscal terms, it was as if the messy wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were never happening.
More fundamentally, the Bush administration masked the cost of the war with deficit spending to ensure that the American people would not face up to its costs while President Bush was in office.
When Obama took office, he included what Bush had concealed to reveal the actual debt ; and that is why claims of Obama "doubling the US debt" is both disingenuous and incorrect!
And Obama continued it. In fact, after he "ended the war in Iraq" he started a new one. This time included Syria in the mix. Costing the taxpayers even more and STILL screwing over the Soldiers he sent over there.
Psst - Niger
Edited for honesty and accuracy.
DONALD TRUMP = Jess Wiilard
Today we have an ideological struggle for the heart of America. And this is good, it is the way it is supposed to be. the harder the struggle the louder the voice.....
This has been happening from time immemorial.
Lets see that the Genius of the Founders said about the eternal struggle.....
What is happening today in this nation has been happening throughout history in all nations. When a people decide to create a nation, inevitably they devolve into at least two camps, the one that think all power should be vested in a government with absolute authority to rule over the citizens (statists) and those who think the citizens are capable of ruling over themselves. (individualists)
Thomas Jefferson wrote to his contempories throughout his life as to the true nature of politics and described the effect of politics on a society and accurately described the sides of the discourse. Of course, he also warned what would happen if we allowed this natural division of the citizenry to dissipate, WE WOULD LOSE that which makes us a whole.... Right now the establishments of both political parties are more alike than different. This is the Consolidation that Jefferson spoke of....
It reveals itself everytime someone says I wish for bipartisan meetings of the minds, I wish for republicans that are willing to compromise with democrats, Conservatives that are willing to work with Liberals.
When one side gains enough power or the two sides consolidate to the point of complete cooperation, is when we are at the greatest risk to losing our freedom.
Knowing this great truth, is there any reason to not understand the 2010 midterms? The same thing happened in 2008 with the election of Obama. Way too much power went into the hands of a few, and as natural, they wielded it strongly to their advantage, until such power was removed.
The struggles we as a nation are undergoing are the same struggles that have gone on throughout history..... And you can always deduce the correct path by the course of the citizen in a representative republic. the citizen knows what is best for his nation....
This lesson in political philosophy was brought to you by Thomas Jefferson, As President Kennedy said to a Nobel laureate dinner at the White House. (over 200 Nobel laureates) "There has never been such a large collection of Genius in the White House, well, at least since Thomas Jefferson lived here"
NWM
WE would do well to pay heed to the wisdom that came before....
This article reminds us that the lies rightwingers tell the rest of us are nothing compared to the lies they have to tell themselves in order to justify destroying the country they claim to love. It's that love that kills that's the problem.
Hatred is a vicious, self-serving master. It would be a lot better nation if we could simply lose the hatred so well demonstrated in this comment......
McCain has really been getting on him.
No matter what he does, a large part of the country will never accept Donald Trump as our president.
Yet, there is a silent majority in this nation who are willing to give the man a chance to succeed. I know the media are already calling his presidency a failure after ten months, but that was expected.
So ...into which group would you place Republicans such as Senator John McCain:
Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump, hours after Sen. John McCain delivered a speech that repudiated the President, warned the Arizona Republican to "be careful" because at some point he will "fight back."
No matter what he does, a large part of the country will never accept Donald Trump as our president.

So ...into which group would you place Republicans such as Senator John McCain:
Or...Senator Bob Corker?
Corker: Trump hasn't demonstrated the stability or competence to be successful
those are his endearing qualities and one big reason i voted for him....the left libs are shocked to see that anyone would actually call them out on their lies and tactics and no one is more shocked than the media who have been distorting information for decades.
i know libs refuse to recognize or believe it but americans have been looking for someone to fight back for them. americans have recognized they have been gravely wounded by washington politics esp during the obama yrs when poverty flourished and the working class floundered and was made fun of--this was the very reason trump got all those votes from the blue wall states many of them democrats..
Americans have a right to demand that elected officials are honest to a fault, with trump we have the opposite, he lies for his own reasons which are pointless. He consistently brags about his charitable contributions and when ever those donations are looked at they do not come close to his statements. He offered $25 thousand to the father of a fallen warrior, the check was mailed AFTER the story hit the press that his offer was merit less.
