LOL! Meanwhile, the Democrat "platform" seems to be "Illegal aliens first, Americans second," and they have to give illegals voter ID's (allowing them to vote, albiet illegally) in order to expand their voter base enough to win, because they can't win with American votes.

Democrats are throwing Pelosi under the bus (which is understandable, since she is a blithering idiot), and are trying to force Diane Feinstein out.

They denounce tax cuts and think that's going to boost their voter base, and while the economy is booming, they try to make the argument that things would have been so much better with Hillary, as they were under Obama's feckless 'leadership.'

They just can't stand the fact that Donald Trump has accomplished more in his first year than Obama did in eight (did he accomplish anything?).

If "stumbling" is what you think Trump is doing, I'll take more of it.

This is not normal. First he hires money launderers for campaign chairman and other key positions, people who lie to FBI, then he drains the swamp by either having frustrated people leave the people he hired or just firing them.

Combine it with dozens of people without security clearance, hiring Mooch for 11 days and people like Omarosa, reality tv stars, Flynn acting as a foreign agent, hiring and keeping wife beaters (Porter) - I mean isn't that too much ?

Any CEO or executive hiring people like that and volatility would have been fired long time ago. Why do we have such a low bar for POTUS? Oh right, Fox News and right wing don't care unless Obama wears a wrong suit or his daughters are not smiling.

You are right but didn't we see this coming before the election? Imagine what the next 3 years will bring. We are the laughing stock of the world.

Such as what, exactly? Tell me specifically what Trump has accomplished besides spending more of our money taking more vacations than any other president in history. And no, listing things that Trump PLANS to do or things he has TALKED about doing are not accomplishments. Talk is cheap, and Trump is full of it. OTOH, Obama was full of action from day 1. He:

1. Passed health care reform

2. Passed the stimulus

3. Eliminated Osama bin Laden

4. Reversed the Bush torture policies

5. Helped the US auto industry

6. Increased veteran support

7. Improved food safety

8. Expanded environmental protections

And at least 40 other major accomplishments.

1. Passed health care reform FORCED a Horrible system on all of us!

2. Passed the stimulus Gave money to his cronies!

3. Eliminated Osama bin Laden Did he? where's the evidence?

4. Reversed the Bush torture policies and let terrorists go to kill again!

5. Helped the US auto industry Gave money away with no incentive.

6. Increased veteran support Do tell...

7. Improved food safety More GMO's and immunity for Monsanto for poisoning us.

8. Expanded environmental protections Destroyed industries over proven false man-made global warming farce.

And at least 40 other major accomplishments. Or do you mean failures and Scandals, Fast and Furious, Weaponizingthe IRS and EPA among other agencies, Illegal wiretapping of political Opponents, Bengazi, Iranian cash, Secret hot mike deals with russia, Uraium One, Racial tensions at 50 year high, the Promise Program to help school shooters...

Trump is now a president in transition, at times angry and increasingly isolated. He fumes in private that just about every time he looks up at a television screen, the cable news headlines are trumpeting yet another scandal. He voices frustration that son-in-law Jared Kushner has few on-air defenders. He revives old grudges. And he confides to friends that he is uncertain about whom to trust....


...Still, Trump’s friends are increasingly concerned about his well-being, worried that the president’s obsession with cable commentary and perceived slights is taking a toll on the 71-year-old. “Pure madness,” lamented one exasperated ally.

Retired four-star Army general Barry McCaffrey said the American people — and Congress especially — should be alarmed.

Well, they are publishing what everyone else is saying too. Though why you have to be told is beyond me, the mass exodus of his own people, career government workers, and his own party should spell it out pretty well. Not to mention the huge amount of people who have been offered jobs with the administration that turned down the offers, the industry leaders council which most have quit.... The writing is on the wall, but apparently the US illiterate are out in force claiming just the opposite.

And no, that is not draining the swamp that is rats leaving a sinking ship.

That's the only reason that keeps popping up around here is that they wanted to keep her "Hillary" out of office. Well that and to upset the liberals'.
