You think this is a war? ha It is a beauty contest ... it is the reality t.v. show, where Trump hasn't been voted off the island, yet. Sneak preview for next season's line up ...

Impeach Trump: why Republicans, not Democrats, are talking up the prospect
Quote:
... the president warned on Fox News: “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor. You would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe.”
Any one buying that hype, can not distinguish fact from fiction. This country is run by Congress. Not always, that's for sure, but the only thing keeping us from tanking is the system that has been put into place to take over, when a POTUS goes rogue.

This is the over inflated ego of our POTUS, girls:
Donald Trump sexism tracker: Every offensive comment in one place
Quote:
In the Nineties footage, Trump was asked about his image as a womaniser. He replied: "I don't enjoy that image. Yes I have that image. I think women are beautiful - I think certain women are more beautiful than others, to be perfectly honest – and it's fortunate I don't have to run for political office."
It isn't an anonymous sources when the words spoken, come from the Donald's mouth. Going beyond words that tend to fall on deaf ears: South Korea, Germany, Egypt: These are among 41 countries that don't have a U.S. ambassador
That is 41 countries that the u.s. hasn't a voice at their table. How can a negotiator, negotiate if he hasn't any of his people in place to represent the u.s. interests?

Not looking for nice things here ... looking for something that has a bit more substance and a lot less, hot air. However, it is doubtful that removing Trump from office, would change anything, because, Congress runs the u.s. and most of the time, they sit around with their a$$ in their hands, going ... what?, what now? But then they could do what they do best ... fasten another committee to do their work for them; damage detail. And the wheels on the bus goes round.

No. Trump has lived his entire life in a state of chaos. It began when he was a child, and the chaos will not ever stop until the day he dies. It's his natural state of being.

The left wing media didn't create the outrage. Trump creates outrage. He feeds on outrage and needs fresh outrage daily.The media, just like the rest of us, obsesses over it. We are forced to obsess over it because he will not be ignored.

That's exactly what Trump wants. As President, he's finally getting all of it he needs to survive, even if the chaos kills the rest of us.

Some of them may have been set up for 1 deal, or to get 1 loan. Although it's entirely possible to trace these, & to follow the paper (money) trail. When he abused the trust of American banks in the 1980s, American money dried up for him & he was forced to go elsewhere. The money (paper) trails continue & are entirely traceable.

We likely wouldn't even be discussing these things if he remained a 'businessman' albeit a corrupt one. The reason why we are discussing is because the earliest designers of the Country, & the document created, the US Constitution, foresaw such an occurrence & wanted to be proactive.

Mr. Trump had his eye on political power for, again, decades. He simply wanted to cut out the middleman by becoming the one who businessmen sought favors from, essentially he coveted their power. 'The Art of the Bribe' so to speak. Also why he aspires to be Mr. Putin, & admires his oligarchical power.

The question still remains: How on earth have we let Trump get away with hiding his tax returns?

Secrecy their first rule. Intelligence, big business and governments work in secret to manipulate the masses. That is why they hate whistleblowers with passion. Selling and stealing secretes among governments is not even a problem, informing the public that's a grave offense.
Here's an old video, the tyt show is good once in a great while.

Only you can get control of your life where media consumption is the issue. I never punish myself by watching CNN, the outrage machine. No one has ever forced me to consume any media.

A victim of forced obsession sounds serious. Maybe its a communist state of mind where it gets traction. Its a real mystery. Where to turn when you can't turn off the media ?

Go to the police and let them investigate and if they can't solve it. Try a Dr.

The thought of Trump and Joe Biden in a bikini is the real reason they did away with the bathing suite competition.

That's why I voted for him... wasn't interested in Obama 2.0.

Trump is Trump... and that's what I love about the guy.

It's all in the presentation; Trump knows this, thus the backroom chaos.

Trump Administration Does the Humanitarian Thing and Reunifies PLO Ambassador With His Family
"But there are some people you can never make happy … "

btw: I do lmao, every time Trump opens his mouth or sends out a tweet and people take him serious. It's funny as hell. I've never been so entertained by the political drama before as I have been these last two years. Every time he pulls the proverbial lever, he gets a response and he thrives on it. If people would go on and discuss other things, that are far more important, than his latest tweet jab, he'd stop doing it. Liken to that of a 2 year old ... Trump craves attention and he will get that attention, one way or another, so he makes the most outrageous comments, performs the most outrageous tasks and the American people, a lot of them (dare to believe they're intelligent) from Ivy League colleges, jump in ... lock-in-step.

Obama did it before him; it is a contest and Trump has set out, to out do him. The one thing for sure I can say that Trump has managed to do, that Obama left office having failed ... the uniting of the democratic, liberal and conservative alike, party under one umbrella and gaining a few new members to boot.
