But-but-but - I thought that "gang on Capitol Hill" had Republican majorities in both houses. What's the problem?

"Trump the do-er", eh? Just what's he done since taking office that's made our country a happier, more stable, more pleasant place to live? People are getting involved more now, I grant you, and that's a good thing...but otherwise? People I talk to complain of high blood pressure, headaches, insomnia, weight loss or compulsive eating...and stress. Overwhelming stress. And they all tell me that while they were disappointed in the outcome of the election, this stress started on the Monday following the Inauguration and has been unrelenting.

"Trump the do-er", hmmm. Just how is he doing it better?

But now we've lost the path and are heading deeper and deeper into the Big Muddy, oops, I mean the wilderness, with each passing day.

Your Candidate was corrupt and skimming of the country while HRS was in the State Department. The total disregard of our National Secrets thru a private server.


Putting American First should be our first concern from Jobs to National Defense.

It does not matter where your from either but it seems whenever something like that is done to someone of the middle east it is racism. They probably did something that triggered detention, just like this average looking white American did!
You realise that the administration is tossing around ways to get rid of Green Card holders right? From anywhere? That are in the country?

It's not just going to be suspicious persons entering the country.

If she's ever used any kind of govt assistance or has a record or has been arrested - I'd seriously think about starting the citizenship process if possible. Seriously. Best of luck.

You may want to let one that one go.

Trump goaded U.S. intelligence services into revealing their sources by denying any Russian connection and calling the blackmail dossier "fake news. Intelligence services finally reveal their sources to him, and what do you know?

Three Russian cybersecurity experts are hauled off to prison. One is hauled out of an FSB meeting with a bag over his head. They are charged with being CIA spies.

The ex-KGB agent in the position to be the likely source of Trump's blackmail dossier is found dead in the back of his Lexus. Foul play is suspected.

Hmmm?

Trump and Bannon created a diversion with the Muslim travel ban fiasco, but you can bet U.S. intelligence services aren't fooled.

Sources are now confirming portions of blackmail dossier.

Flynn is letting it be known that perhaps he did discuss those sanctions with the Russian ambassador after all and maybe he might have hinted around that matters might be different once Trump was in office. He can't quite recall.

It's fairly clear some national secrets were revealed here and it had nothing to do with Clinton.

Probably not. He has gained an ENORMOUS amount of weight in the last three weeks. His face is so puffy and fat his neck is spilling over his shirt collar. He doesn't exercise, he's 70, he gorges on junk food and he takes a statin drug because his arteries are dangerously clogged. He can't keep his temper, or his waist line, under control. He's a major heart attack waiting to happen.

No matter what these ridiculous leftist protesters across the country continue to do (Do these people even have jobs???), Trump and America will overcome all of that. Our nation will rise again.
I'd consider it quite likely. I didn't vote for Trump but that certainly is possible, especially if limits on fracking and transport of oil are lifted and the U.S. becomes an energy exporter.

I would alter your otherwise excellent sentence as follows: "Most of this BS is because Democrats do not wish to leave behind European Socialism, including its essential component, the crazy environment issues like Climate Change. The way the Paris Accords "work" is that the Western countries, especially the U.S. are held to an impossible goal of reducing emissions 40% below 1990 levels. First off that favors Europe and disfavors the US because of where their economies were in 1990. If the targets are inevitably not met financial penalties are triggered. These penalties pour into a large slush fund that is supposed to be used by the "developing world" for "climate adjustment." It is unrealistic to expect dictators such as Kabila of the Congo to use the moneys in a constructive manner. In other words the Climate Accords feed the European-style socialist monster.

Causing all that stress in the anti-Trumps is a great accomplishment.

Just one of the many great things Trump is doing for our country.

Hmmm, what?

If the intel agencies compromised and endangered their sources, that's on them, not Trump.

Yes. By anti-Trumps within the intel agencies.

Nor does it have anything to do with Trump.

I realize it is difficult for some to get from the A to B, so I'll spell it out.

A) Intelligence Community tells Trump their sources for Russian connection intel.

B) Russian sources get murdered and arrested for being American spies.

You may not be able to get from A to B, but you can bet the Intelligence Community isn't having that problem.

It's even simpler than what you say.

The intel community revealed its sources, the sources got killed, and now the intel community has no sources.

Donald Trump didn't force them to do that.
