Rivera; known for his "empty Capone safe" venture of building up peoples expectations beyond the reasonable or possible only to dash them on the bare floor of actual reality...…...Yep, he'd probably commiserate with 'the Donald'.

That's what happens. When you are a criminal POS that demands absolute loyalty but will throw anyone else under the bus in a heartbeat, it doesn't inspire loyalty. When you fail to lead by example, it doesn't inspire loyalty.

And when your crew isn't loyal and you start breaking the law, they are going to leak it, and they will not take the fall for you.


A good measure of a leader is look at the loyalty of the people under their direct control, the people taking orders from them. Trump fails that test miserably. Very weak leader, sad.

Liberalism = Fascism

Keep in mind that turnabout is fair play. Expect the same treatment for the next dem president and don't complain about it when it happens. The dems (as usual) have set a new lowly standard for treatment of a sitting president.

They can't beat him legally, so they want to do it in any way possible. Illegally, unethically, or change the rules illegally.

President Trump is not perfect, but he is resilient, tireless and resolute, and I thank God everyday that we don't have Hillary (wife of cigar-man). President Trump is the most transparent president we have had since Truman. He also reminds me of Winston Churchill. When it comes to true leaders, many are viewed more positively, and appreciated more, after a few years.


I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.

Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

A President cannot always be popular.

The President is always abused. If he isn't, he isn't doing anything.

Harry S. Truman

Never give in - never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

'My dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.' My favorite quote of all time.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Winston Churchill

If we had the kind of inside information about past presidents that we have about the Trump administration, we would feel a lot different about them too.

But you are right in one respect. Trump bears responsibility. He should know that there are many people out to bring him down, even people in the Whitehouse. From the beginning, he should have been carefully vetting them, and taking steps to keep things much more private than he has been keeping them.
It’s called “leadership”

Something he thoroughly lacks. If he had it, his administration would have privacy. He can’t inspire those close to him to believe in him enough.

Where we are with todays current Democrats.
They have proven it with Trump, Kavanaugh, Flynn, Metoo and the Cancel Culture.

They could easily come for you if they wanted.

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners. He became part of a post-Stalin, short-lived ruling troika until he was executed for treason after Nikita Khrushchev’s coup d’etat in 1953.

Beria targeted “the man” first, then proceeded to find or fabricate a crime. Beria’s modus operandi was to presume the man guilty, and fill in the blanks later. By contrast, under the United States Constitution, there’s a presumption of innocence that emanates from the 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments, as set forth in Coffin vs. U.S. (1895).

"A fish rots from the head down", is a saying that indicates a leader must be of good character or else the entire organization will go rotten.

Yet he still manages to lead the country in a positive direction. Go figure. If Hillary had won, we'd be in the middle of an economic meltdown, with high gasoline and energy prices, high unemployment, and poor stock and housing markets.

Illegals and Muslim refugees would be streaming in unabated, only to vote Democrat.
