Thanks for voicing your opinion. Everyone - contact both of your US Senators and your 1 US Rep.

If you don't want to call, google their names and you will get their official web page which has CONTACT info. On that page is a fill-in-form where you add your comments. Takes 2 minutes.

Here's an official web site that you can use to contact your senators and us rep.

I didn't hear/see one Repub comment on trump's tweet storm this morning...the one where he threatened the FBI director he just fired, and the one where he threatened to shut down the daily WH press briefings.

On reflection, could this be a good sign???? Maybe they are huddled together devising the demise of donald. Pence was made the fool again this week, by regurgitating the original WH line on why/when trump decided to fire Comey. My guess is Pence doesn't like these accumulating recorded videos of himself lying for his insane boss.

It kinda reminds me of when I was a kid and screwed up....most of the time my parents would scold me, sometimes for days over the same stupidity I pulled. But when it was (rarely) something REALLY bad that I did.....they got really quiet around me, and I knew they were discussing with each other how to handle a major transgression. And coming up with a punishment that fit my crime.

Maybe the <crickets> from the GOP after this AM's tweet storm is more foreboding than having them give inane answers in the corridors of Congress.

Kellyanne spinning like a top again.

That unfortunate Huckabee woman trying to be Kellyanne and failing at it.

Trump entertaining the Russians with Russian media and blocking US media.


Does this really not strike any of his supporters as "not normal?"

I mean, any piece of it. Does any one of these things seem "off" somehow?
I thought MODs, were supposed to be neutral? But, it's very obvious you are not.....

Yes, calling them is the best way. Lots of times they don't bother with emails or reading something online but I keep hearing that calling them is what works.

Those of us who still care--and there are more of us than of them--need to be responsible citizens and work to save our country from this madman fool. It's not just Trump, it's the inexperienced people he appointed and the Congressmen who stand up for him. We don't want health insurance revoked, we don't want a president who won't allow the press to know what's going on, we don't want a president who fires anyone who disagrees with him, same with a president who makes financial deals with the Russians--if he isn't doing it then what is he so afraid of? This is how a dictatorship begins. I remember from reading about Nazis an expression, "When books burn, people burn." Meaning that once the simple things are taken away, it progresses onward to much more important things also being taken. Suppression of information is one of the first steps.

Paul Ryan said today he doesn't read the tweets most of the time and is not going to comment. Another GOP pu $$ y. I know there are some decent republicans out there, but they must be hiding in the bushes with Spicer.

Can you imagine if this was happening during the previous administration?

How anyone can stand by and act like this is normal, let alone good, is off there rocker. It's not a matter of Left v Right, it's a matter of RIGHT v WRONG.


When is the GOP going to get a spine and stand up against this behaviour? Do they simply not care?

That qualifies as decent?

It's really, literally, breathtaking. And not in a beautiful-Grand-Canyon kind of way.
Breathtaking.

In a rancid landfill kind of way.

Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Yet The Cult has shown throughout this last year that they are incapable of admitting when President Trump is wrong. Ever. It is simply amazing how he had taken control of their minds and void them of any ability to be objective and reasonable.


These first few months have been a clown show, so much craziness going on daily. He just now said on the news that he may not have his staff do any more press briefings. It couldn't be that he or they are lying with all the inconsistencies, no apparently his is the very first staff in history not to be competent enough to say the same message that he is trying to deliver. And to The Cult there is nothing unusual about this at all.


LMAO.

He is not a mod in this forum, and doesn't mod anything here of note.

And they are suppose to be neutral in their moderation, I dont think they are limited in their posts.

Not just his base of cult like supporters, but the Republican party. Where is the breaking point?
