Faux News would bury it - why write it to have it buried? That would be ironic - like Trump wanting to buy all the killed stories about him from the National Enquirer.

Sounded to me like it was written by some of our usual posters around CD. It had no real substance and just uses the same tired phrases and silly accusations we hear on CD........"impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective"
"Thwart The President" from what?.........Making speeches? Playing golf? Campaigning for The Wall? Tweeting?



Non story.

Oh, snap!

Trump probably tried to get a single payers healthcare system going and the Republicans are like, WHAT?...We better protect the nation against this fool. lol

He's not really that Republican when it comes to policy. I can see them freaking out from time to time.

Was Trump this way before he sat his ample rear in the most important chair in the US? I just recall him being an insufferable, reality show presence but not unhinged. He sounds exactly like one of those comic book villains who gains access to great power and then goes balls to the walls C R A Y Z E E.

If this was some single event, I would call BS.

But when you are looking at an ocean of garbage, and another piece floats to the top, you are simply not surprised.

I personally believe this is significant and it is time for congress to do something. I will not get my hopes up but the whole White House has gone beyond ridiculous.


I have called Trump amoral on several occasions. That is his biggest downfall. I could accept ignorance, even stupidity when it is just a matter of differing opinions, but total lack of any moral compass is just not acceptable.

I don't think Sessions has the balls to do it.

Haley is an excellent possibility. She's smart, principled, conservative and sane. But...she is very ambitious and I think she would be worried that if she were outed, her political career and ambitions would be blocked by the alt-right Trump cult.
