We will be thanking you guys for adding that word to our vocabularies.
Maybe, maybe not.

In any case, I kinda doubt that any Dems will be reaching back three presidencies (as with Trumplings and Bill Clinton) for their what-abouts.

tRump's legacy will be way too big a target.

My “whatabout” was about candidate Hillary Clinton and more specifically, her lackey, AG Lynch, taking place just about 2 years ago. Just because Bill was involved does not make it about him.

The joke won't be on us. We would have done our duty. And if he appoints a new AG with the express purpose of retaliating against his enemies that will be real banana republic stuff...that would definitely be obstruction of justice at a minimum.

Nothing is going to shut up all the impeachment, collusion and anonymous sources talk. Never. Ever.

Interesting in that news clip. The guy on the bottom left of screen keeps nodding and smiling, and the other people in the audience are basically looking bored. Or confused.
Exactly, this is typical Trump behavior. If you recall in the run up to the 2016 election, which even he thought he was going to lose, he was already laying the foundation for shifting the blame with his ‘rigged’ nonsense.

We already know America is great, we like hearing a leader who agrees and doesn't tear her down at every turn.

Incorrect here.

You used the word correctly in your statement.

Wrong. In conventional English usage when not referring to any god other than The One, it is not proper to capitalize.

I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Exodus 20:2
