He said that Trump wouldn't be nominated in 2015.



Why are you still listening to him?

That's what our system is all about if you don't like the President. That's exactly what happened to Obama in 2012 after he lied about Obamacare and jammed it through Congress. From 2012 on, the voters neutered Obama. It's your turn if you can get the votes. Have you mnoticed the standing room only crowds at his rallies? We shall see what the voters do the next 2 years.

It looks like Trump will retain the Senate. That's where Judges are confirmed. That's good enough for me the next 6 years.

Beyond that, Trump can pull an Obama and still use his pen and phone.

With Trump and the Senate, conservative Judges will continue to be put in place .

Wait.... someone said "liberal patriots"? Are those the people that want higher taxes, open borders, and the elimination of law enforcement (ICE)? The people that want to suppress the free speech of anyone that opposes them? The ones that sweep equal justice under the rug to further their own cause at any price? THOSE patriots?

Yeah... keep listening to Bill Maher, the guy that wished for the country to fail. Some patriot he is.

No.

All citizens are subject to the law. Even those entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing the law are subject to it.

Any president who violates any Federal law is liable to prosecution once he leaves office and is still subject to civil lawsuits as well.

The president is not immune from state laws.

I am not a fan of Bill Maher. However, on occasion he does speak the truth, and holds some fellow lefties, and leftist views accountable.

Yeah... the only way he's going anywhere is if he wants to or he gets voted out in 2020.

Was Nixon above the law too? (Not Cynthia Nixon for those that are historically challenged)

So are you saying they are lying about Russia’s attack? What motive would they have to do that? Russia has every reason to attack us. They are our enemy. Why would Trump defend our enemy? Connect the dots, friend. It’s not that hard.

You misstate.

ICE is a recent creation (after 2003) which combines the work of civil and criminal authorities. Eliminating ICE simply separates those agencies to their former arrangement.

People want fair taxes, not higher taxes per se. A tax cut largely given to the wealthy no strings attached is not fair and potentially damaging to the nation.

No one wants open borders. That is a myth perpetrated by those who want to control your thinking.

All Americans can be presumed to be patriots, unless proven otherwise. Liberals in general have definitely been much more patriotic than conservatives in general since 2016, but this is because many conservatives are aiding and abetting Trump in his treasonous activity.

It's increasingly difficult to take the Russian collusion stories seriously. Along with the official Meuller investigation, we have the so called mainstream media doing outrageous stories, which really undercuts any argument there was for collusion.

Last night on CBS, Elaine Quijano did a full piece with some guy who claims Trump is owned by Russian mobsters and has been so for decades, laundering money through Trump Tower. This was presented without any evidence whatsoever as if it were fact.

You can see why most people do not believe this hype.
