Very amusing.

You do realize "Qanon" is a hoax right?

You said "If you're not (a birther) then you have to admit Trump lied". Well, if memory serves he admitted that Obama was born in the U.S. (as reported on 9-15-16) so I don't get what you want other than to harp about meaningless campaign B.S. that the Clinton machine started...

It only took him 8 years to come around, I guess after his investigators returned from Hawaii. Do you recall his conversation with Romney to claim it despite it’s a lie.

Sessions offered his resignation long ago. If Trump wanted him gone, he would have accepted it.
That would be a very interesting strategy. Hope it's true.

As for Sessions resignation letter, I had forgotten about that. Easy way for Trump to get rid of him at any time if he wanted to.

Can't wait to see Sessions kiss his own a$$ as he is thrown out the door.
Maybe he can work as a cookie salesmen without screwing it up.
Its awful to see your buddy Trump going down the drain ain't it?

I was referring specifically to Trump's claim that he had investigators in Hawaii that were supposedly looking into Obama's citizenship and said "they cannot believe what they're finding". Implying they had evidence that Obama was not a U.S. citizen. Well, there's no evidence he ever had anyone in Hawaii investigating Obama's citizenship and he never provided any evidence. He was obviously lying through his teeth in an attempt to cast doubt on Obama's citizenship. You can characterize it as campaign B.S. but everyone knows he was lying. And it wasn't until some time after the Hawaii investigators claim, at which point the "birther" hoax had been debunked about a thousand times over, that he was forced to grudgingly admit that Obama was actually a U.S. citizen.

All we get from the LSM is BAD news. The economy is BOOMING, wages are up, employment is UP setting NEW records, one of the greatest consumer confidence ratings in DECADES, fed revenues INCREASING, etc. etc., etc and the LSM IGNORES ALL OF IT.
If the economy is so booming why does Trump want to stop raises for federal employees. He says the country can’t afford it. He was quick to give tax breaks to the rich so why go after the middle class.

The President is NOT a king. He doesn't have unlimited power to do whatever he wants without consequences. There's LOTS of things he CAN do which he would pay a price for (up to and including impeachment and even prison). I know you folks have totalitarian tendencies, but sadly for you, that's not the way the country works (which is a GOOD thing). In the end, Trump will pay for his abuse - and so will the Republican Party.

"That DOESN'T mean it's NOT obstruction of justice."

You need to look up what NOTHING means.

"The President is NOT a king. He doesn't have unlimited power to do whatever he wants without consequences."

The SAME people saying THIS do NOT member Obama and his "I have a pen and a phone" and signed MORE Executive orders and Memorandums then ANY OTHER President in our history and the SAME people NEVER complained about Him. WHY?

Obama ALSO had MORE OVERTURNED by the courts, some by the SC at a 9 to 0 vote, PROVING he was trying to be "king" and going around Congress.

LOL
I "need to look up what NOTHING means"?
Are you giving us another "truth isn't truth" moment?
Sorry, but that only works with Trump minions.

Yeah, Obama struggled with the courts (just over 50% win rate with the US Supreme Court) - a continuation of a trend where every President since Reagan has had less and less success with the courts. So what? None of that involved obstructing justice by firing folks or threatening to fire folks (of his OWN party and his OWN Administration and which (in the case of Sessions) was his OWN appointee) because they were investigating HIM. Trump's OWN people know he's a criminal. Members of his OWN party head the FBI and the DOJ. Congressional members of his OWN party appointed the special persecutor (who is also of his OWN party). None of Obama's struggles involved publicly ASKING (on LIVE TV no less) Russia for help hacking a U.S. citizens' e-mails - and then RECEIVING that help. NONE of that involved having his personal lawyer pleading guilty and his campaign head being found guilty of multiple crimes, and a host of other advisers admitting guilt as well.

Trump is on course to end up with the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.
And yeah he CAN fire some of those people investigating him - but there will be consequences for that, and it WON'T stop the investigations (of which there are MULTIPLE now - at both the state AND federal level).

You folks like to scream about Obama and Hillary but the fact is it's TRUMP who's going to end up in prison - and he'll be put there largely by members of his OWN party - which just goes to show that there are a least a FEW GOP members who are honest patriots.

Pass the popcorn - this is all GOOD.

Ken

Just for fact checking, I know Trumpkins are generally allergic to the things, Obama signed 276 XO's. Which is a lot, but fewer than every two term President since Kennedy.

Reagan leads at 381 followed by Clinton at 364.
