Now that AG Barr has declared the Constitution null and void, he has presented the American people with a condescending "summary" of the Mueller Report. We prefer to read the real thing.

Collusion and obstructions of justice abound. This is known simply from news reports over the years that have not been denied by the criminal Trump Organization/Administration.

A few examples --- Russia contacts the president's son and offers a meeting in which Hillary will be dissed and the son gleefully accepts the meeting when he should have immediately informed the FBI of election interference by a foreign power. Making matters worse, Trump's crowd lies about the meeting until the son finally confesses. Trump himself is caught lying about it on video.

Campaign Chairman Manafort offers secret GOP internal polling data to a Russian agent presumably to target vulnerable areas in the 2020 election.

The president's son-in-law attempts to create a back-channel communication path to Russia via the Russian Embassy and not detectable by US Intelligence. (Or at least he thought so).

Trump's National Security Advisor met with the Russian Ambassador to discuss eliminating sanctions. This was after previous President Obama warned Trump about Flynn who Obama said was a disaster and which proved to be true.


As a sample of today's distraction du jour, Trump has withdrawn all funding from the Special Olympics in his budget. Can you imagine anything more mean-spirited?

Next is obstruction of justice. Even Barr couldn't bring himself to clearly "exonerate" Trump.

The dufus is on a one man blitz, throwing his weight around and getting out his own narrative well ahead of the facts of the Barr report, which have no facts, just his opinion. He can't afford too much speculation to dampen his base so expect more red meat to the loony crowd. You think he doesn't know that not just Mueller's report, but a few more investigations are aiming right up his wazoo?

He has little choice but to holler and scream while he can. He is good at distraction and changing the subject isn't he?

Isn't that what its all about? So what your saying is that Trump, is 'the Master' of the politics of distraction.


WE WIN!!

Once again, nothing to see here, it is old news

He is also a con man, grifter, and a liar and cheater. Is that the standard for good behavior from the WH?

LOL, don't be distracted or fooled as there is more to be revealed besides the report by Roy Cohen... I mean Dufus appointee AG William Barr's Summary.

So true. The hatred of Trump on this board is really amazing to watch. The party of tolerance has become the party of hatred and insult.

Anyone wanna mention Hillary's name? or Obama's? Wonder what the other party's members would say...have said....

[jlisenbe]

To be critical is one thing. To use hateful and offensive language is a different matter. And yes, Trump is a great offender in that regard, but he is no worse than some posters on this board.

Focused ENTIRELY on the one who hates and insults others, along with his aiders, abettors, and sycophants who accepts his behavior as our president , and how easily you turn the other cheek (Not specifying which check). His words and behavior at his Michigan rally disgusts me.

I have no problem with being critical of the pres, and have done so myself, but I would suggest that if you don't like hateful, insulting speech, then set a good example by not using it yourself.

[talaniman]

I don't consider the truth as being hateful or insulting.

[Wondergirl]

No one on this board has ever come CLOSE to the hate and scorn and ridicule and vituperation and mockery and bullying (I could list more....) that Trump spits out.

[jlisenbe]

Again, a convenient position for a liberal to take.

I'm a Republican. I know hate and scorn and ridicule etc. when I hear and see it.

[jlisenbe]

I didn't say you were a democrat. I said you were a liberal. Just going on your support of issues, that sure seems to be the case. As to scorn and ridicule, I'm glad to find out you oppose the scorn and ridicule directed at Trump on this board.

All's I hear is somebody hollering foul, foul!!!

What would you suggest Trump supporters do?

He sucked everybody into playing his game, from the start ( Remember nobody wanted to respond to his ridiculousness...but they all fell for it)...lets all talk sh*te. It doesn't mean anything when somebody talks sh*te (I'm a Racist if I didn't vote for Obama, I'm a sexist if I don't vote for Hilary, I'm a homophobe if I don't support Same sex marriage, I'm a Jesus freak if I speak of truth on and on it goes)...Actions speak louder than words.

I believe Trump is trying his best. The economy is doing Great. People are tired of the Dems bullsh*te as well. People seem to prefer Trumps bullsh*te over Dems bullsh*te...AND YOUZ GOTS TO LIVE WITH IT! Dems the Rules.

The Dems don't (they never did) want to play by the rules. They are two faced and Have no Honor. After all this the Dems call foul, how childish.

No one on this board has ever come CLOSE to the hate and scorn and ridicule and vituperation and mockery and bullying (I could list more....) that Trump spits out.

Keep working on it...The night is still young.

I am conservative at times. I try to maintain a good balance so I obey the two greatest commandments. Trump's behavior and words make me very sad -- me as an educator, as a librarian, and as a psychotherapist.

His mean and bullying nicknames for just a few people who have dared disagree with him:
Kim Jong-un "Rocket Man"
Steve Bannon "Sloppy Steve"
Hillary Clinton "Croked Hillary"
Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas"
Chuck Schumer "Cryin' Chuck"
Jeb Bush "Low Energy Jeb"
Bernie Sanders "Crazy Bernie"
Ted Cruz "Lyin' Ted"
Al Franken "Al Frankenstein"
Marco Rubio "Little Marco"
Adam Schiff "Pencil Neck"

What nickname would he give YOU?

[jlisenbe]

Rather similar to someone calling him "Dufus"? Why is it you have a problem with Trump calling others names, but no problem with others calling him names?

[Athos]

You are 100% correct. No one on this board comes close to the incredible nastiness that Trump exhibits on a daily basis. By now, the entire planet is aware that Trump is a psychological mess, and a madman like Trump is to be feared because he has his his fingers on WMD. He is unique in American history.

His sycophants on this board are quick to condemn his bizarre behavior while praising what he has done "for the economy". The truth is that he has done nothing for the economy. In fact, his economic policies have been destructive - tariffs that he doesn't understand and are ruinous to American business, flamboyant promises about bringing back manufacturing and mining that are complete fabrications, much ballyhooed income tax policies that have not remotely produced the revenue he swore they would do (and which he said he and his rich friends would be hurt by because the benefits went to the middle class - HOGWASH!), and more and more.

The good economic situation the nation is experiencing is a result of Obama's corrective policies which brought us (and the world) out of the Republican-fostered Great Recession. Even economists from both sides of the aisle agree.

Trump is a master at self-promotion. Other than his silly television show where he gained such notoriety, he is an abysmal failure. Had he placed his inheritance in the stock market, he would have gained much more wealth than his disastrous forays into airlines, vodka, steaks, casinos (who but Trump ever lost money in a casino? - 4 bankruptcies), Trump University - an out and out fraud which cost him $25 million in penalties after swearing he would forever fight the lawsuit), and a dozen or so more failures.

Worse than Trump are the Republicans who rarely utter a peep about what he's doing to the country and the planet. That includes his supporters here.

America will get over Trump as he becomes a bad memory. But the rest of the world will forever remember that this great nation once elected a proto-fascist to lead it.

[talaniman]

He's the president and his bad words, bad actions, and bad behavior deserve calling out, and he deserves close scrutiny by his opposition. You supporters may as well get use to the opposing views, but if you want civility and fair debate, then learn to read links. Otherwise don't throw rocks and not expect them to come back.

You shouldn't take such criticism of yo' boy personally, it's not you, it's ALL him!
