What else do you want to do? There was an election, and your idiot won. Next time, someone else's idiot may win. It's the way it works here.

I agree that the system is corrupt, but celebrating Trump as the solution reminds me a lot of the story of a farmer who burned down his barn to rid it of rats.

Gotta start somewhere. HRC would have continued it and all of the corruption would have been swept away under the rug by the Dems, MSM and Leftist supporters. Trump is a good thing in that respect. It forced all the scumbags to show their hand and start ratting on each other like school yard children. I'm loving every single second of it.

He is definitely NOT an "outsider". If he was, and did what he was promising so many before the election, that would be one thing. But he's turned out to be the biggest politician and nonsensical partisan idiot that we could have ever imagined getting into the White House. And as is typical of his life, the guy is king of lies and misinformation; the ultimate farcical and fake president. Wake up and shake off those puppet strings from your brain. The most needed "cleaning up" starts with him and his band of cronies.

Bottom line: Whoever you are, if you're up no good, and make matters worse, you are not worthy of support, and deserve to be exposed and called out.

The ONLY factual portion of your thread are the parallel references to Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump. You were dead on there.

and hitlery would have been worse


as to parallels to hitler.... almost every liberal politician..... the progressive movement spawned Marxism, nazism, Socialism, fascism, and American liberalism, which is a mixture of socialism and fascism

Stay tuned.

god man whats wrong with you?
Obamas IRS actually went after conservatives in a brutal way to prevent them from doing what unions and others were doing for liberals. THAT HAPPENED.


it sure looks like this dossier was a RUSSIA DEMOCRAT attack on Trump to find a back door to get a FISA warrant to spy in the republicans. Its a freaking miracle that Trump won and that only happened because Hillary sucks so bad.


There was actual TREASON on the part of DEMOCRATS and your squeeking about what? baseless accusations part of which are based upon RUSSIAN/DEMOCRAT bull crap.


your comments above are disgusting.

But I'm going to borrow a good quote from a horrible guy and apply it right here to this country. The door has been kicked in with Trump's election and you are starting to see the entire structure come crumbling down. We have just begun to scratch the surface of how corrupt the entire system is - the DNC, Congress, The Clintons, the electoral process. There is strong evidence that the Russians bribed Clinton for 20% of our uranium. There is also strong evidence that Crooked Hillary paid for a fake Russian dossier on Trump which was then used against him in the election. If that doesn't qualify as treason, I don't know what does.


The corruption on both sides is 10 fold what anyone could have guessed (even a cynic like myself, never thought it was this bad). I've said before on these boards that I don't watch the news programs and I really don't but I made an exception last night when I tuned into Hannity (which I was surprised to see was moved to 9:00) The guy was on the verge of tears as he detailed how sick the entire system really is.


Bottom line: whether or not you like Trump, the man needs to be supported as an outsider and our last chance to get things cleaned up.


And here I thought this was a serious post. Gthoohwats.

Shep Smith is one of the few working there that’s a legit news guy and not a pundit.

Having him report that story has the same weight as it would if other legit newscasters, such as Wolf Blitzer of CNN or Brian Williams of MSNBC reported a story favoring the Republicans. It’s against typecast and thus more believable.

It’s you that’s suffering from confirmation bias, not I.

If you actually listened to the clip of Smith’s newscast, instead of just trolling, you would see how ridiculous the whole “scandal” is. The facts don’t add up. The more you look, the less that’s there.

Actually, we need to support Convention of States (www.conventionofstates.com). DC is now far too corrupt to reform itself. The Founders feared something like this would happen and so allowed the second part of Article V for that very reason. (Of course, they kinda assumed we weren't so dim as to let it get THIS bad, but still.)
