You're not in a position to say what's relevant and what isn't though..remember...you lost? America is against you.

But run on that campaign slogan and see if it works again

I'll be here patiently waiting for Kavanaugh's swearing in.

Feel free to argue who slept with who with those of us who don't care.

I don't see how it's even remotely the same.
Hillary used her personal email server to conduct government business. This was a gross error of poor judgment. Stupid, but no malicious motives, to my knowledge. She paid a steep price for her mistake.

Trump paid a porn star to be quiet in order to win an election. The motive was obviously malicious. He should pay a price. We need to send a message that squelching information to win elections is not acceptable behavior in our democracy.

Did you see how many votes Trump got? Not all of America.

He won the majority of the States, plus the GOP took greater control of the House, Senate and the majority of State Senatorial seats. I don't think we saw a sweep like that since the 1920s...
The outcome of the election was a complete repudiation of the Democratic Party and its ideas. Trump's victory was just the cherry on top but overall it was a reflection of what the country wanted when you add it all up.

Any who...

why are we talking about this anyway? Shouldn't you be worrying if Trump slept with a porn star or not and how much she was paid and when?

Isn't this a "big deal" like the last chicken little headlines that have been running all year?

Don't you have a base to gin up for the election?

How's Omorosa's book by the way? Was it as good as Fire and Fury?

We aren't buying it. You can talk about whether or not he slept with porn stars all day...it means nothing to me

*shrug*

He's doing what I voted for him to do. Period, point blank.
Thank you for your honesty. You have confirmed what Donald said in 2016:

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters."

once again what hillary did was against the laws of this country, and she knew it yet violated them anyway.


what trump did was NOT against the laws of this country. if it were then there would be a ton of rich people on both sides of the isle who would be in jail by now.

I would rather be talking about Pecker, Weisselberg, Cohen, et. al too. Interesting to see where it will all lead. I'm not going to read Omorosa's book, BTW.

60 million votes does not mean a majority in this country. However, it was enough to tilt the Electoral College, which there is some dubiousness about.

Anyhoo, we'll just see what all falls out from this week's latest news. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the show.

For starters, Donald Trump never ran his campaign on being the evangelical prototype Christian. Anyone who's been alive for more than 30 years knows that he has never been the blueprint for that.

He did, however agree to uphold and back specific moral issues that are up for legislation (i.e abortion, antilegalization of marijuana, support for law enforcement etc) which is in contrast to what Dem candidates were voting on which was the complete opposite. Trump was the lesser of two evils in that regard. When Trump brought up Bill Clinton's affairs during the campaign it was a direct reaction to Hillary who brought his affairs to the forefront. It was a costly political maneuver that backfired. Because, again, anyone who was alive for the last 30 years KNEW that the Clintons were the LAST people to hold the moral ground on any of that.

You can go on and on about "lying" about paying hush money to a porn star. You can print it in big bold black letter on the headlines of the NYTs, or the Washington Post...you can have stand up comedians make observant jokes about it on your nightly talk shows...you can have rappers rap about it, you can have your Robert Dinero led "f*ck Trump" rallies..., you can wear all the vagina hats and manufacture all the protest marches that you like...I simply don't care.

I voted on the issues of trade negotiations with China, renegotiating our nuclear deal with Iran, pulling out of the Paris Accord, and the TPP ...i voted on the issue to bringing back corporate revenues from overseas (via the tax cuts), I voted on a the need for a robust economy, I voted on having conservative majority justices, I voted on his platform of immigration reform...and to a lesser extent on slicing Obama care. I voted on his support for our Troops and our law enforcement.

I did NOT vote for him based on whether or not he attends church regularly or at all (I couldn't care less if he did or didn't).

The ONLY thing that I want him to do more about which was a BIG one for me was congressional term limits...which McConnell shot down almost immediately during his first 6 months. ( I personally want McConnel gone because of that).

I voted on the issues, MOST of us did. If we wanted a strict moralist boy scout we would've wanted Mitt Romney in there.

How doesn't that register with some of you???

The tabloid blaring headlines just don't do anything for me. Especially coming from a party that that continuously lies and misleads the public about it while covering up and burring their own corruption.

We don't give a rat's ass about why you voted for Trump. We know who is base is, and you don't represent the entire base. Sorry if that doesn't register with you. We also know that Trump lies, daily. You don't care. That's fine. But if you're upset that other people do care, that other people do want to know the truth, then that begs the question, why does that upset you? Why does it upset you that all the lies and misinformation that comes from this President is being brought to light?

Yeah, prosecutors are going after Trump because they are bored. LOL> Guess Pecker and Weisselberg didn't have anything better to do either.
