Republican calls for Impeachment

I don't think Trump is the worst president ever

I have no idea how any sane person with even just a little openness cannot see he is the worst by far. Bush made some good mistakes that are still doing damage today, but Trump is doing far worse. Part of it is he is a huge Moron who doesn't listen or seek advice from the best minds and his corruptible nature that thinks almost only of what's in it for me. This should have been obvious to anyone who knows even a little bit about him long before he decided to run for president.

Exiled's main criteria for "bad president" is clearly abuse of war powers. His past posts have described Trump as some kind of anti-war candidate who is being seduced by the dark side.

I do see it more as a little bit of isolationism that is popular with some in the far right, but that also will weaken the US economically and militarily. Especially with such a large debt that Trump is only making larger at a very fast rate.

this should be on your family crest.

You have to be willfully ignorant to still think Clinton is more corrupt than Trump. Head-firmly-up-your-ass ignorant.

I can think of nobody else more deserving of being ignored than a Trump fan. They are either too stupid or too much an asshole (probably both) to listen to their nonsense.

Says the moron who sees crimes and conspiracies at every turn of rumor or inference when a Democrat is in office, but can't find enough critical thinking cells to even consider the possibility that the guy with an R after his name has committed any crimes despite bi-partisan support for that proposition and despite the fact that an investigation detailed more than a dozen examples of wrong doing. For you? Nothing to see here. And oh, whatabouthillary?

What an obstacle to progress for the conservstive movement Romney has turned out to be. The man once lambasted by leftists who illegally taped his 47% remarks and was purported to advocate self deportation serms to be doing everything in his power to raise taxes, increase welfare payouts, socialize medicine, and keep thd border porous and unenforced.

Romney doing everything in his power to raise taxes??? What about our current President raising taxes???

Trump's tariffs are equivalent to one of the largest tax increases in decades

... seems to have a distinct preference to Russian Oligarchs over asylum seekers....

Literally have Obama on tape pledging cooperation to Russia and you are relying on what actual "evidence" to support your hair fire judgment of "seems"?

Oleg Deripaska and his sanctions.

When Manafort joined the Trump campaign, he owed Deripaska $20 million.

Here’s the quick backstory on the sanctions. Last April, the Treasury Department placed sanctions on seven Russian oligarchs, including Oleg Deripaska, as well as a dozen companies the oligarchs either owned or controlled.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC — the Treasury Department’s sanctions arm — said in a report that "the action aggressively targeted Russian oligarchs and elites that further the Kremlin's global malign activities." The misbehavior included "attempts to subvert Western democracy, support for the (Syrian President Bashar al-) Assad regime, malicious cyber activities, occupation of Crimea, and instigation of violence in Ukraine."

Among the dozen sanctioned companies were three that were connected to Deripaska, who the Treasury Department referred to as "a Kremlin insider." Deripaska held a 70 percent ownership stake in EN+, the holding company for the aluminum powerhouse Rusal, and energy company ESE.

On December 19th of last year, the Treasury department announced that it was lifting the sanctions.

On January 17, The House voted voted 362 to 53 to block the Treasury Department from lifting sanctions against the companies, which are controlled by Deripaska. That included the vote of 136 Republicans.

To make sure the House vote was symbolic, the day before, Mitch McConnell preemptively blocked the the sanctions in the Senate, 57-42.

On April 15th, Rusal, the aluminum company owned by Deripaska, announced it was investing $200 million in McConnell's home state of Kentucky.

David Vitter, the former Republican Governor of Louisiana who resigned in disgrace, was the lobbyist that helped defeat the sanctions. On April 16th, Vitter's wife, whose nomination as a federal judge had been stalled with no apparent life, was suddenly and somewhat miraculously confirmed by the Senate.

Does any of this make you mildly uncomfortable? Where in the continuum between happenstance and hair on fire would you place these events?
