You are dead wrong. We all have been thinking this and now we finally have a leader with a backbone who can proudly voice our concerns. This language should unite us, don’t you see their your enemies too?

1) No, "we" haven't all been thinking this.

2) The New York Times is actually doing quite well and not failing at all...likely will end up with big journalism awards once the nightmare in the White House is out.

3) The news sources you mention are the most highly regarded ones in our country...excellent journalists and excellent journalism.

4) Trump's language is not intended to unite and of course it does not/

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Word is that Cohen will describe Trump as a "madman" next week on the hill in an open session. Nice. The hits keep coming.

Also, as most Democrats in the House believe we know enough to impeach him right now, and the Mueller report isn't likely to dispel that info, expect Articles of Impeachment soon after delivery of the Mueller report. The House WILL impeach him unless he dies, or resigns, or the crime or aliens thing. Just one of many dominoes of my correctness to fall...oh..not the first either. I said Manafort would be found guilty and sent to prison, that Cohen would flip on the Orange One, that Stone would be indicted. All true so far. It will continue too.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

I may disagree with Alan, politically speaking but when it comes to working out in the gym- he has you beat. He lifts heavier weights than than you (and you probably never lift) and is most likely stronger than you will ever be.

Meh. I was never that good of a runner to begin with and had zero talent. So being faster than me is not a big accomplishment. Likewise there are teenagers in most high schools stronger than me so again that’s not a big deal.

I enjoy the occasional political discussion, which is really more like mud slinging and character assassination, and it’d either here or FB.

Discussions on politics, religion and other hot button issues are interesting. It’s a game of gotcha. No one is changing their opinion. So it becomes a matter of being “right”. It becomes a matter of making yourself feel better because you think you’ve made your point.

I’m very interested in seeing what happens to this thread after 2020. What will this thread devolve to?

Even if the House impeached, he'd never get convicted. Repubs are too scared to go against Trump, because they know it would mean the end of their political career at the next election.

Made-up stories and innuendo with no substance aside, Trump has yet to do anything to merit impeachment.

All you Trump supporters run around squealing about the liberals getting “decimated “ every time Trump calls someone a name or belittles them. What a patheticly low bar. Have any o f you actually paid attention to the budgets Trump has signed and passed? The massive budget is for one, the least fiscally conservative budget ever and is loaded with democratic funding. Conservatives should be outraged. But instead you run around getting excited by a bully call it people names

Wait, look over there, a caravan is coming

Lowest character POTUS of all times

My post wasn't fair as I've taken the time to reread it, I was simply mad at the time and not thinking. The last sentence in my paragraph doesn't even make sense.

Wait, look over there, Hillary lost and Trump's stock is rising---would have been a much fairer statement.

I guess I forgot to look at the good he has done as I'm always looking for something bad which sometimes means "making stuff up". Liberals should be outraged at the stunts that Obama and the Clintons both tried to pull on the American people.

Sorry, I'm really working on not being so biased but sometimes the sour grapes in me comes out.

Correct, and you think you're "right" all of the time. That's a Flagpolian Complex Move as someone just posted the proof of his narcissism on the last page...which he will dismiss as false, but it isn't. See what I did there Alan?

thanks for your honesty brother, but don't be so hard on yourself, you were bamboozled by Hillary the Corrupt Senator and wife of Corrupt President.

1) Excellent comment about the running and the strength...as if that matters...so good show there, brother.

2) You are correct that for most people (the vast majority even), talking politics is a game of gotcha. For me, that is not true at all. I find it interesting what others think, but for me on this particular topic (The Orange One), I am just interested in justice. I will get no sense of satisfaction from being proven right. My only satisfaction will come from the fact that our nation will be safe from the lying and the corruption in the White House...doesn't mean another won't try, but then we deal with that one. Donald Trump is a serial liar and a criminal of epic proportions. He needs to have his comeuppance (and he will) both for justice's sake and to deter any other like-minded individuals who might attempt the same crap.

Your last sentence is less true every day.

Sorry, but that is not anywhere near the same thing as calling the majority of the press the "enemy of the people". Then there's the constant "fake news" crap. All Presidents have had issues with the press...no equivalency to Trump's mantra and constant attacks on the press. That poster didn't "prove" anything.

Yes, it's the same thing. "Ultimately destructive", it may even be worse.

You, as others have said, deflect and downright lie. You aren't fooling anyone Buckeye Chubs, you're just proving your insecurity over and over again. Please don't have children.

2, 3, 6!!!!!!!!, & 7, that's Flagpole. Watch him deny this, it ought to be fun! Alan, are you reading this or do you not believe your mentor's shortcomings?

POTY!!!!!!! Flagpole to a T, especially number 6! That's you Flagpole, own it. And, you get no satisfaction out of being right because it happens so rarely.

2) Bullsh!t, brother.

That's why I'm so interested in the resolution to stop the vanity wall.

There are definitely some Republicans in the senate that strongly disapprove of Individual-1's emergency declaration. This will be a test vote to see which ones are willing to stand up against him at this juncture.

Maybe.

But you don't know how the hearing will play to the public.

The fact that Kavanugh looked so bad and lacked poise on the stand, yet still was conformed leads me to think you are correct, though.

But instead of assuming what will happen, let's have the trial and prove it.

I think you and Flagpole strongly overestimate the "moral integrity" of these people in Congress. If you're putting it above zero then you're being too generous.

Why do you think a bunch of them "retired" or decided to not seek reelection? They've been crooks for years (or decades in some cases) and instead of being exposed in all this they just bow out silently. It's a sinking ship right now. Those who haven't jumped overboard aren't going to have a change of heart. And I challenge Flagpole to find me one Republican that has actually stood up to Trump in a meaningful way (and that means actually voting against Trump's high level judges, cabinet members, policies, etc).

Lisa Murkowski (R Senator from Alaska) voted no on Kavanaugh

She's hardly a "change of heart" Republican but I'll give it to you. That makes 1 Republican who voted against Trump 1 time when it mattered so far.

I'll also give you John McCain on healthcare even though he's dead now.
