The MEMO

One big nothingburger. Rep. Nunes needs to resign so he can go to work for the Trump Admin. officially.
“The latest attacks against the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests ― no party’s, no President’s, only Putin’s. The American people deserve to know all the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the lens of politics and manufacturing political sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”
When is the last time we had a truly competent leader in The White House.

I'm also not so sure I'd call Trump incompetent so much as I'd call him embarrassing (in his inability to resist responding to every slight like a spurned child).
He may prove me wrong, though- we'll see.
I'l leave you to your opinion as I imagine after years of justifying the tripe you seem to believe

You already know this is partisan. You know they've been spying on people for ages, American and otherwise. Are you trying to pretend this is something isolated? Since The Patriot Act they have near carte blanche to spy on anyone for the smallest of reasons (though I think they've always been spying). Even when they don't do it themselves, they contact their friends in foreign agencies to obtain information or ask if they have anything. Fact is Washington is corrupt and off the rails. It doesn't matter who is in office, it is going to stay that way.
We are a country of 320 million with interests all over the world. We will not be able to get a large enough number of Americans on the same page with how to run the nation, so the easily manipulated will continue to vote based on slick campaigns while the politicians agendas known to themselves and their big supporters while they throw table scraps to the American people.
Any American that tries to do anything to disrupt the status quo will be slandered and lambasted until the manipulated American public turns against them. If you tried to do something serious to change this world, as a conservative you would be branded a violent racist more than likely and they'd find something in your past to throw doubt about your character.
I'm sorry. It's not smart to start Twitter battles and the like. It's not smart to speak outright lies like this was the most listened to State of the Union speech or the like. Trump worries about a lot of vain and foolish things that not even a supporter like you can cover up because he won't stop saying them, even when they are provably wrong. I don't think Trump even bothers to check for proof before he speaks. He just talks and talks and talks because he can't help himself.
I'm going to enjoy more of my money in my pocket though. That tax plan is going to be great for business and those that invest in them. I"m going to follow the old cliché, "If you can't beat them, join them." Then again I've always enjoyed investing. Making money from owning parts of growing businesses is one of the best things to do in America with your money.

Maybe so, but we've seen this in history many times and it usually ends badly for those politicians.
Exactly the reason Trump can't let them get away with even the slightest attack. You may not like it but it is about messaging and he's winning that battle at this time. The MSM has gone "all-in" on what you call slandering and lambasting him and the stakes are extremely high in who emerges from that battle.
I've already addressed the twitter wars above and why he can't let them get away with even one of the lies. Regarding "outright lies" who says they are lies? I know you to be a smart person and know the difference between messaging and lies. Why would he bother with checking to see if something is provably right or wrong. Everyone knows you can find numbers and statistics to prove anything you want (or disprove it). Do I believe that when a democrat talking head says, "The american people want (fill in the blank)" that they've actually checked that? NOPE! Those lies are also proveably wrong but I don't hear you crying out about that.
I'm actually saddened to hear you say this and maybe you will reconsider at some point when the storm boots come for you. All that evil needs to succeed is the absence of good.
