markjazzbassist Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 coming out now that Trump asked Comey to shut down the Flynn investigation and also asked him to consider putting reporters in prison if they printed classified info. no need to make up claims, Trump is sinking his own ship.

This is Trumps only plus-point over Pence and Ryan; when he's being incompetent / a dick / illegal, he at least doesn't hide it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 'No politician in history has been treated worse' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39948870 Aung San Suu Kyi (first I thought of) and several thousand others might beg to differ. Mandela maybe as well (though he was a terrorist according to the caring sharing Tories). holystove and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Trump is the equivalent of a suicide bomber in the world of politics, the only thing that is saving him is that no one in the States has the bollocks to out him, what a piss poor democracy the States have politics based on fear of retribution. They deserve him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really true though, is it? Dems are already calling for his impeachment and Repubs probably aren't too far behind them as they have a motive to save their party. Trump is being publicly slaughtered everyday by almost every news organization and his approval rating is dropping along the way. He won't last the full term. Seriously though, get off your high horse. Saying any country/nation deserves a shitty leader is pretty shitty in and of itself. markjazzbassist and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 What amazes me is that his supporters are unmoved. They believe that insiders and the media are out to get him, so they believe none of these reports. Indeed, their attacks on Trump's opponents are becoming more and more intense. We had an election last night in our district, and the Republicans won with a bigger majority than in the recent election. In a couple of weeks' time, our district will have a run-off election for the House, and the Republican leads in the polls for that one, too. It's very depressing. In the meantime, just think about this: 1) President Trump and his team are accused of collaboration with the Russians 2) When the FBI investigates, the president privately asks the FBI chief to stop it 3) President Trump asks the FBI chief to imprison journalists who report on his misdoings 4) The FBI chief refuses to be swayed, so the president fires him 5) The very next day, the president meets with the Russians and reveals classified information 6) The president bans all US journalists from that meeting, but a Russian photographer is allowed 7) The US, it seems, has no transcripts of the meeting, but the Russians do and offer a copy to President Trump 8) President Putin publicly defends President Trump and offers to speak on his behalf before the US Congress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they do have the bollocks. Jason Chaffetz, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, among others, are on his case.

My parents and brother are conservatives and I hung out with them tonight and asked their thoughts. They mimicked your first paragraph. The media is out to get him, he did nothing wrong, if the president asked comey to get rid of the Flynn investigation he should have, that's an order from the president! These were real statements. They're delusional Steve and the fox brainwashing has worked. Hook line and sinker. Edited May 18, 2017 by markjazzbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
