Trump is a complete disaster at home and abroad. If you can't see that I can't help you. 

 

 

 

Tell that to the thousands of people who got their bonus checks and are getting more money in their pay checks starting February 1st and see what they tell you Sparky.

 

Just sayin.

I understand your frustration , but that statement simply is not true.

 

There are many, many logical, factual, and reasonable arguments that people can make to show that Obama was a poor President.

 

It is "crazy" to make such an absolute statement that his decency and goodness are "beyond" any argument ...........

 

 

 

 

.

 

The racial divide alone under Obama's watch makes him a horrific President when he was supposed to be the racial healer when he was elected President.

 

And they way he bashed the police pertaining to these racial issues is another.

 

I know someone in DC who thinks it's all gonna come out how abusive he was with his power to destroy his political opponents. I don't know if I buy it yet, I'll wait to see if it's true. 

 

The He jury is still out on Trump, obviously, but, we haven't had a good President in office since Reagan. Bush # 1 to Obozo have not been good at all.

What policies, specifically, have made his administration a "complete disaster"?

Just one, I can and will go on if you want more but off and on busy here:  

 

He is not doing his job of protecting the Constitution, for one. Russia attacked our election, our country, and he is not even recognizing that it happened. That is a major abdication of responsibility. It even appears that he has been compromised.

By what standard was President Obama a decent President?

 

He obliterated the rule of law, weaponized the Justice Department, Intel agencies, and IRS against his political enemies, oversaw gun running scandals both into Mexico and the Middle East, created a geo-political power vacuum which was filled by bad actors, initiated a foreign policy and military strategy which led to the rise of ISIS, allowed Hezbollah to run an unfettered criminal enterprise in the United States, and oversaw the worst economic recovery out of a recession the country has ever seen.

 

By what standard is that good?

 

He was telegenic. (And that counts for a lot these days)

What percentage of Americans got that bonus? And does that excuse everything else he has done?

First of all, there is no proof that Russia did anything other than run some facebook ads. They did not have any appreciable effect on the election, and they most certainly did not "hack" anything. Second, he maintained the weak sanctions Obama imposed as a result of this supposed interference, so to say he's done nothing is to admit that neither did your boy Obama.

 

Being butthurt over Hillary losing the election is not an impeachable offense.

 

However, more to actual things that happened: How is the economy? What are your feelings on Trump actually making the legislative branch legislate, rather than ruling by executive order?

 

In the real world, he's only a "complete disaster" to idiots who can't get over losing in November 2016.

As Gerald Ford said, an impeachable offense is anything the majority of the House says is.

 

 

 

Which is true, but they'd be laughed right out of office if they tried to pass Articles of Impeachment that accused him of defeating Hillary at the polls in November, 2016.

Sounds like you just don't care because the Russians helped your guy. That's unAmerican. 

 

The intelligence communities believe it was more than just facebook and twitter manipulation:

He is not defending our Constitution, he is sworn to do that. And this is just one of many serious reasons

It is a political process. The Impeachment election of 2018 will be the most interesting mid-term since...1866?

Well, if Wikipedia says so, it must be true!

"The Intelligence communities all believe" is a proven falsehood. That it's still repeated is a sign that people believe what they hear first, not the truth. 

 

17 intel agencies NEVER have had a consensus about Russian collusion or hacking the election. Not even the entirety of the 3 agencies represented in the January DNI all agreed with the assessment of that report. 

 

It was a team of "hand picked" agents from the FBI, CIA and DHS who were chosen to find proof of the assertion, not to investigate its merits (as stated by Clapper himself in testimony). Which is exactly how the WMD information was compiled and the results of that intel blunder was for the DNI to rewrite policy making sure this kind of selective, insulated investigation didn't happen again. 

 

Yet, for this investigation, Clapper ignored the policy he helped author in order to get the conclusion he needed (because he's a traitor to this country and was covering his tracks). 

 

None of this is speculation. It's laid bare by the very DNI report that the media misunderstood and misquoted for 7 months before bothering to read it (and then they issued a retraction).

It's open info, easily checked 

 

We were attacked, the intelligence agencies, Senators of both parties, house members of both parties, members of Trump's cabinet all agree, all except the guy who is suppose to do something about it. Instead, he acts super nice to the  murderer who is behind it.

That report you're relying on has been pretty well debunked, after months of the media lying about it. There is a reason it hasn't been mentioned in months.

Hearing this press conference with Robby Jackson re 45's health is hilarious... he's said, at least half a dozen times now, that 45 isn't suffering from any mental defects - but the press corps won't take that answer. They keep trying to rephrase it, to get Jackson to trip up - even bringing up Reagan's mental health and asking Jackson to compare (despite never having examined Reagan). 

 

The left wants to talk about how POTUS's words are hurting the country - while ignoring the repeated times the media has slandered, lied about, or otherwise worked to undermine the public's' confidence in the man in the Oval. 

 

If he was as big of a threat as the media and left would like us to think, they wouldn't NEED to inflate, hype, or lie about his condition, his words, or his actions. Instead they could let reality speak for itself rather than trying to invent their own. And yet, they persist.

 

Why?

 

Because the only card they have to play is the fear card. Fortunately people are wise to this game by now. Tomorrow's fake news awards is shaping up to be high comedy. 

 

(50 minutes later... the press is STILL grilling the doctor.)
