    Then it may be about your reading comprehension........or lack thereof.

    I have no hatred for Trump, nor am I blind to his accomplishments. I recognize when something good happens for the country and I can give credit when I feel it is due. His progress with NK is promising and for the good of the world I hope he is successful.

    I have never understood people who politicize their business. Inevitably you only stand to piss off half of your patrons and it's just poor business imo.

    This said, Trump does way too much to harm himself. His tweets bring more fire on himself so much of Trump's beating is self-inflicted.

    So you have nothing to refute the fact that you follow Trump down every rabbit hole he points to. Nothing. I listed them out one by one. Please tell me which of these you were not misled about.

    Shane brought up service records so I reminded him that his hero has no service record.

    You would be standing on your nutty head if either of them governed like Trump. You would be standing on your nutty head if either of them had coordinated in the least with a foreign power to influence an election. In fact I know you are a hypocrite because just this week Trump was outed for refusing to update his secure cell phone every month, going as long as 5 months without doing so. How is that any different from Clinton's carelessness with her e-mails?

    As far as the investigation goes here is where I am with it: Let Mueller finish the investigation and let's not jump to conclusions one way or the other until he has. Everyone with the exception of Trump and a few of his minions have expressed a high degree of confidence in Mueller as a straight shooter. When the investigation was opened Mueller was roundly lauded as THE guy for the job and among those whose voices have leaned toward moderation he still is. I have tried not to draw premature conclusions but Trump's own behavior many times is that of what would classically be considered guilty. Here is the thing though: I cannot figure out whether Trump's obfuscation and attempts to derail the investigation have more to do with his narcissism and shallow ego about the election results (losing the popular vote) or if they are that of a guilty person. As I pointed out earlier he has thrown a lot of shit on the wall to see what sticks and none of which has born out to be true.

    Well ok,.. first, in my eyes the biggest problem in Washington is Congress. Conjoining bills together, adding pork, trading votes, the majority whip scheduling when/if a bill is even considered, etc. All of that kind of stuff kills effective legislation,.. our President can add a little oomph backing a bill, but not much,.. Congress has ham-stringed the legislative process, their procedural rules need revamped,.. but Congress won't do it and President Trump can't make em.

    Secondly, I support President Trump, I like the movement I see regarding N Korea, even though it's been the goofiest diplomacy ever, there seems to be progress where there's been none before,.. and maybe with China too,.. and how could anyone not be pleased about the released Americans? It would be wonderful if Trump turns out to be a great President, Even if he shits the bed, If Mueller's investigation shows him to be criminally clean, that's good enough for me, I'll support our President like I've always done. .

    third,..mctiger said,.. {Trump's} "the antithesis of everything we've become accustomed to in a Washington politician. Of course, many of us have been saying that's what we wanted - what we needed - for years".

    We agree on what we need, where we differ is,.. McT, and others here, think Trump is "the one",.. whereas I think Trump is a charlatan pretending to be "the one"

    lastly,.. I think Donald Trump is an absolute horror of a human being,.. but how important that is,. should be decided on election day.

    I think we should all search hard for 3rd party candidates to support, the dims nor repugs won't fix anything, they're the problem.

    Sounds good in theory but how does a 3rd party candidate actually get elected. He would have to have enough money to do battle with the prevailing powers who would throw a boatload of cash to their own. While he was labeled as a Democrat Bernie Sanders was a defacto 3rd party candidate who might have actually gotten elected with the support of all those entitled millennials with their hands out for the promised free stuff. What a horror if a socialist actually became president. If only Elon Musk was a native born American. Maybe he would be like a benevolent Tony Stark. Even Trump with all his money knew he would not have a chance if he had chosen to run as a 3rd party.

    And still they have nothing

    Just a bunch of nuts crying foul on a ball hit in the gap. The Russians didn't elect Trump, the Citezens of America did and the whiny babies just can't stand that their plug came in last.
