No it hasn't, but that isn't even the issue. No one is saying impeach Trump because he's illegitimate. The reason Hillary lost was mostly because of the Comey letter. Russia giving Trump the election was never the argument. It was about the illegality of Trump's campaign conspiring with a foreign hostile country to undermine the integrity of our electoral process.

There was no collusion and I think Putin is smarter than to go with a clown like Trump.


He would be an absolute moron not to. Trump has been involving himself in US politics since Obama's first term, it would be crazy to think Putin wouldn't be interested in getting compromising information on him. That's what the KGB do.

The only collusion was between the mainstream media/DNC to get Clinton the nomination instead of the wildly popular Sanders. This is what I mean by putting up someone the people want.


I liked Sanders too, but I'm not naïve enough to think he could have possibly beaten Trump.

As for an actual legislative agenda, why not actually do something positive instead of trying to prove what is already proven.


How is it positive to waste everyone's time? How did wasting Congress' time for 8 years pan out for John Boehner? From Benghazi probes to bogus plans to repeal Obamacare. It was all just a show that republican voters don't even remember anymore because it never produced anyway. I can't think of any time when voters rewarded politicians for wasting time with half measures that have no chance in hell of getting passed.

His popularity ratings aren't that great and would certainly go down further if a populist democrat ran against him, backed by a popular legislative agenda.


Well that is what I was asking for, what popular plans are you talking about? I think you'll find that many of the plans you and I would like to see, aren't really that popular after all. Cutting premiums? Easier said that done. How does that even happen without risking the label of government loving commie?

Because the new AG has been extremely online, there’s a lot of material there. We now have a conservatroll as AG. It’s like Subgenius replacing Ben Carson at HUD. Hard to believe how surreal things are or how fragile the system was.

Kevin Graham wrote:Trump is going to go down in history as the most despicable, embarrassing, corrupt President to ever hold office. He's basically checked off every box there is in the list of possible scandals. Sexual assault? Check. Obstruction of justice? check. Cover ups and mafia like retributions? Check. Treason? Utter contempt for our nation's democratic institutions? Check. Contempt for the Constitution? Check. I mean the list really does go on and on and any one of these would have ruined the career of any Democrat because a Democrat's voters aren't morally bankrupt like Trump's. How do I know? Because after two years of mounting evidence proving how horrible of a person he is, here you are like a complete moron talking about how bad Obama was. Trump could walk into your house one morning, fondle your wife and take a crap in your corn flakes and you'd be on this forum the same day bragging about how awesome it was to be visited by his holiness.

Your unhinged wolf cries don't make it so, Kevin. But I suppose if you do somehow win you can rewrite history however you want. Only a person with mental health issues thinks, then worse, speaks the way you do. Obama played with fire and caused a kind of political version of a run on the banks. His rhetoric was triggering to feeble insecure minds like yours. The product of victimhood. And this is what the history books will reflect.

We could just make a list of what Obama, the peace prize winner, has achieved. His actions have resulted in a near total evisceration of democratic power. And it's only going to get worse. It got worse yesterday, but you're too blind to see it.

Wolf cries? Victimhood? What ever in the hell are you talking about? Everything I said about Trump is backed up with hard evidence. Just because he covers up one scandal with yet another every week doesn't mean they no longer exist because of your short term memory issues. You're the idiot still babbling about Obama and trying to blame him for crap caused by the Trump administration. Pretty pathetic for someone accusing others of victimhood.

It’s a funny thing that Republican voters expect Democratic legislators to pass policies that will benefit them personally while encouraging Republican legislators to obstruct as much as possible with not a care about that or the collateral damage of screwing over the majority of the general public.

Oh, Kevin, you're a child. And I'm not "blaming" Obama. I'm merely following the breadcrumbs where they lead. He's not responsible, either. The man can't give a ghost-written speech that doesn't refer to himself a least a hundred times. He's not the architect of this, just another symptom of your dividing culture.

LOL. It's gonna be a wild ride. And how nice it is to see that incoming committee chairmen responsible for national security and other such sensitive matters don't have the basic sense or discipline to keep their mouths shut on a packed train. That's comforting. But I do appreciate the confirmation of what we already knew. I'm sure this will be headline news on all the stations tonight. :rolleyes:

I wonder if there is any possible reason why Trump would not have announced the firing resignation at his press conference?

While Whitaker was the sole person in a fake government accountability foundation that appears to be a grift, he called for investigations into every prominent Democrat out there.
