The Trump Presidency

[goldfly]

Dear God, we call on you to do the right thing.

Matthew 6:5-8 " “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them,"

It appears Charles Krauthammer is ready for a President Pence.

He's one high profile conservative who thinks the Russian imbroglio is a big deal and wants it over.

He's never been a Trump cheerleader.

Perhaps no quality has more stunned and frustrated the president’s critics than his brazen willingness to lie. Trump frequently appears to have no independent regard for truth, to see veracity in purely expedient terms: What he can get away with in public debate. More dumbfounding, he and others in the White House do seem to get away with it, ridiculing plainly objective accounts as “fake news.”

But the prospect of genuine legal jeopardy upends the calculation, certainly for Trump’s subordinates, who have future careers to lose, families to raise and, unlike the president, no general insulation from criminal prosecution. It is probable that some powerful people will be going to jail as a result of the Mueller investigation. Among the likeliest candidates are those who don’t realize that the game has changed, and that in the ambit of the special counsel investigation, and the courts of law, a lie is a lie.

It's getting time to fire Mueller and pre-pardon everyone in his administration.

[sturg33]

Yes of course. 62 million people are racists and sexists and homophobes

It's been a while since we've heard that one. I guess Russia was a nice distraction but let's get back to the old talking points. Anyone who doesn't fall in line with the left is a racist

It'd a damn in list and if any of those this were done by a R or a Conservative the media would go on endlessly about it until special prosecutors were appointed.

It's a sick joke what is happening in the world and why I firmly believe that progressivism/liberalism is the biggest threat to my freedom.

This is what is most alarming Sturg. Dehumanizing those that do not agree with you. Its the beginning of something much worse and something that we all must keep an eye on.

[sturg33]

Legit question, because it's hard to keep up with every single post containing some new Russian angle.

What is it that the Russians did that resulted in Trump in winning?

Don't think anyone has answered this one for me, yet

1. You said nothing when Obama used drone strikes to execute people abroad.

WRONG - Plenty was said in the regular media.

2. You said nothing about Russia for 50 years until Trump was inaugurated.

WHAT????? The talk about Russia started long before the inauguration. When even basic details are wrong it says a lot about the quality of the piece.

3. You said nothing about Hillary’s campaign being paid $175,000 to lift U.S. sanctions on Russia.

WRONG - Hillary's campaign was not paid this money. And it's been reported about plenty.

Most of these stories were first reported in the regular media by actual journalists.

Some libertarian.

So when released they killed Americans here in America? Did they kill Americans traveling abroad? No they kill Americans invading the middle East. If we were not invading and occupying the middle East they would be ****ing goats instead of killing Americans. Pretty sure if a middle east country invaded and occupied America we would do the same thing. Don't want Americans to die? Stop serving them up on a platter in foreign countries.

Exposed the DNC corruption, more specifically that the DNC was just a wing of the Hillary campaign. I personally have no problem with this because we expose Russian political corruption so they are just returning the favor. Putin wanted to show the world our elections are no more legitimate than Russian elections.

I'm sure you recognize the difference between news (which is why we know about it) and hysterical obsession (which we have today with RUSSIA )

Honestly the hypocrisy and partisanship is astounding
