What exactly are you implying here? That the president is a tyrant? No, he is very much answerable to the people. And if they cannot remove him by vote, the 2nd Amendment was made for such occasions as a president thinking himself above the will of the people.
And he is. He is representing the people like me who voted for him and who are sick and tired of the P.C. crap of the left's agenda being shoved down our throats.
So you support and agree with crass bullying and name-calling by your representative leader? You do not seem this way, but I could be wrong. You don't have to be answering every petty insult or disagreement with a similar insult or petty comment.
There's no where in the constitution that this is a requirement. It is a made up thing. Do you think Lincoln was respectful of the congress that represented the states who wanted to seperate?
So good manners and public decorum when respecting the office must be written into the Constitution for them to be practiced? That's how you really see it? So I have to write down a law for you to say open a door for a woman, not bully some kid with namecalling, and basically act in a civil respectful manner or such behavior doesn't matter? You never practiced any manners and polite behavior that wasn't written down in a book for you? You say for example told your mother to "piss off" because it wasn't written down somewhere in law? C'mon, stop already. It's bad behavior and you know it.
Which is why Trump is ticked at Sessions. The bias that is being displayed every day with the witch hunt and the exhoneration of Clinton is so stark that many of us believe that Sessions and the conflicted Rosenstein is not being independent nor fair.
Sessions was part of the campaign. He recused himself from the investigation to allow a greater level of transparency. Everything I read about Sessions was that he was a by the book guy that wanted to instill a very black and white vision of justice. That is normally a true conservative viewpoint. Now you want to allow Trump to weaponize the Justice Department to attack those he views as enemies or insulting him? Do you want an impartial justice department or one that goes after whoever the presidents wants?
Trump needs to let this play out and stop fueling the attacks. Clinton played out the end game of an impeachment. If he didn't collude with Russia in a way that is illegal, then he'll be fine. Some obstruction charges or payouts to pornstars is not likely to unseat a sitting president. If some granny somewhere is wringing her hands and crying, "Oh Lord, I did not know Trump was the kind of man to sleep around with harlots", then clueless granny needs to wake up. Anyone that didn't know the gold throne sitting billionaire from New York wasn't banging around was asleep at the wheel.
Do you not see the damage being done to this country by the press and attacks against this president? This president is the most transparent president in history. You don't have to wonder what he's thinking or doing, he lets you know straight up.
He's part of the damage. He dug himself a hole with his stupid tape talking about what he does with women. He's cheated on multiple wives, hired multiple snakes around him that are now turning on him, and generally caused all derision with his petty attacks and insults for stupid things like inauguration crowd size and the size of his hands. He could be handling agenda without this level of acrimony if he would learn why presidents don't talk every day on Twitter. They have things to get done and the press is going to attack them on a constant basis. Every single president knows this and reacts accordingly. Obama knew Fox News is going to go after all he does. Bush Jr. knew CNBC and CNN were going to go after almost all he did. It's the nature of being a face man for a powerful nation involved in world affairs.
You may call if fear mongering but can you honestly say that they won't try to impeach him or take back the tax cuts or put back in place the globalization regulations or change the judges he's gotten approved? He's talking straight and that is what scares the hell out of the swamp monsters and political class more than anything else.
Swamp monsters? He has a bunch of swamp monsters on his staff. He is a swamp monster. He's old school money. Did you notice that he was the one that hired people like Omarosa and Cohen? They're swamp sucking snakes and you don't want to see it for some reason. He's friends with all kinds of swamp monsters. And did you see all the corporate contributions coming his way through Cohen? Consultation? Do you really believe that?
Yes, if the Democrats take the House they will move to impeach, but Trump will only be removed if they find actionable evidence beyond what they have now. Most presidents would be smart enough to stop threatening the justice department when that looks amazingly like strong-arm coercion tactics to the public. I know for some reason you've plugged your ears and started screaming, "nanananana. I'm not listening", but I can't see how you can think threatening the removal of a Justice Department head for not supporting Republicans and a particular party during elections is what you call quality behavior. Sure, he's transparent, like a CEO wanting to fire those that don't do his bidding.
BTW, he's not on the ballot in the mid terms but the congress folks running will either support or resist his agenda.
I don't support this president. I don't like him as president. I haven't supported him from the start. I like some of his policies, but I knew he was a narcissistic dishonest salesman going into the election. He hasn't changed. Same old Trump he's always been using his salesman skills and charisma to get what he wants and giving anyone that disagrees with him the finger. He's used to being in command within his empire. And as I told all the Deranged Anti-Trump Folk, the presidency is a gilded cage as intended by the Founders.
If we can't find a president that can act like a civil human being in the face of criticism that can implement the policies that are best for this nation and cleave to its values, then we're on our way to a banana republic. This has reached a level of stupid on both sides I can barely stomach. I don't know how the nation has come to this. We just had an election where our choices were the billionaire reality TV star of New York old money and the wife of a former president. I feel like I'm living in some modern day feudal society where the nobles are fighting while the peasant, merchant, and military class watch and choose sides.
