I think maybe, so go back to you



Yet you're not denying I was right
all along. What difference does
it make where you get your news,
we all get it from somewhere, we
don't make it up. You got your's
from CNN, which is now sinking
like the Titanic. Massive firings
and layoff's, the Food Network
and HGTV have better ratings.

Lying 24/7 for 2 years will do that
to any network.

I support Trump because he was the

of the things he said he would do.
What more can I or any American
ask for. As you'll find out next year
when he wins in a landslide.

So, in your view the Democrats appointed Mueller to investigate Trump?

Cult of personality. Trump can do no wrong in their eyes. Trump sides with Kim against an American family (Warmbier) and conservatives don't bat an eye. Its sick

Its such a petty move by the WH
The ship was originally named after 2 admirals, John S McCain SR and John S McCain Jr
Will the WH now demand that we expunge the McCain's from history due to Trump still arguing with a passed away John S McCain III

“I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.”

This is the first time Donald has openly admitted Russia helped him get elected.



Edit: he deleted the tweet. (LOL)

Edit 2: he reposted it with a typo corrected.

Here's what happens when you tell
the truth on a TV network, you
get rewarded with ratings. FOX
has a ratings bonanza now, CNN/MS
is solidly in the toilet. Rachel Madcow,
Cuomo and Chris Matthews have
the lowest ratings since Trump took
office. CNN is closing whole divisions
and firing and laying off hundreds.

I post this for all of you who retched
and gagged every time a FOX story
was quoted here. Who's retching now.

Not going to be a popular take, and he certainly didn’t deserve to die. That said, you have to an idiot to go into North Korea at this point. Even worse to go in and do anything that could be considered by any stretch a crime in said country.

Sadly his youthful mistake cost him his life. I for one don’t want to see war between the countries because of it though.

Sure, but an American president going overseas and siding with a dictator who executes his citizens with flamethrowers over a former VPOTUS, calling said dictator "excellent" who he has "love" for is pretty disgraceful, even for new GOP standards.

I totally agree
You have to show strength in negotiations, especially North Korea
Instead Trump showed weakness and bent the knee by giving Kim a Pass on Warmbier
When Kim and Putin met, they must of laughed about Trump
Putin has him in his pocket and Kim got the high profile meeting giving up nothing
Yup, Putin and Kim are giddy

The left wing biased NY Slimes has banned their reporters from appearing on MSPMS's Rachael Madcow, MSPMS's Lawrence O'Donnell and CNN's Don Lemon TV shows because the shows are too partisan and biased.

How ironic.

For you lefties here who made ridiculous statements and inane speculation following Mueller’s press briefing earlier this week, I strongly suggest that you read the entire interview of AJ Barr which can be found here:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/william-barr-interview-full-transcript-cbs-this-morning-jan-crawford-exclusive-2019-05-31/

Additionally, for you lefties that believe that Mueller is a saint and above reproach, you should follow the link, provided below, and read a report about Mueller.

Continue to "bury your heads in the sand"


P.S. In view of both of your quick responses, it is completely obvious that neither of you made any actual attempt to READ the Barr interview.

Americans who receive the earned income tax credit, one of the country’s largest anti-poverty programs, are audited at a higher rate than all but the richest taxpayers. The new data shows that the trend has only grown stronger.

According to data released by the IRS last week, millionaires in 2018 were about 80% less likely to be audited than they were in 2011.

In a statement, IRS spokesman Dean Patterson acknowledged that the sharp decline in audits of the wealthy is due to the agency having lost so many skilled auditors. And he didn’t dispute that pursuing the poor is just easier.

Guess they got the poor under control.

New Standard Of Proof: Guilty Unless Exonerated By The Prosecutor

I quote parts

Quote:

A direct excuse for the new wave of threats of Presidential impeachment and removal from the Office was - it seems - Special Counsel Mueller’s statement upon his retirement that he did not exonerate the President for “obstruction of justice”. And this - in the eyes of Congressional Democrats - is the proof that the President needs to be removed.

That’s right. If the President was investigated for an alleged crime and his prosecutor did not exonerate him then the President is guilty and should be removed, or so the Democrats in the Congress and their administrative collaborators say. Thus, according to that novel idea, all it takes to dispose of a sitting President is to appoint a dumb or prejudiced prosecutor who is unable to exonerate.

What is even more outrageous here is that the newly-invented standards that Congressional Democrats and their administrative collaborators so “principledly” adhere to while investigating the Republican President or Candidate do not apply to Democrats. For instance, Mrs. Clinton was not exonerated for her alleged wrongdoings, including her use of a private server for official governmental communications and cover-up thereof, yet no one among Congressional Democrats and their administrative collaborators holds her responsible for anything.

Apparently, that is how Congressional Democrats and their administrative collaborators understand rules and laws: they need to be strictly obeyed when they serve the interest of the Party and it constituencies, and disregarded, criticized, ignored, and broken when they obstruct their agenda. Not only is such behavior an instance of hypocrisy but also it allows for weaponization of laws, as well as the agencies that are supposed to enforce them, against Democrats’ political opponents, adversaries, and critics.

I'll give Barr credit. As Trump's lawyer, he's done a great job so far.

I didn't know Connelly wrote those books. I've never read any but enjoy the show.



He's a producer on the show
Of course the books are better. I would read them in the order they were written. That's what I did
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

Tell you what. Read them. Start with the first one. There are 20 or so, now. Some of the best writing of the last 50 years.

Don't bother with the non-Bosch books Connelly wrote for now. They're good but you can go back to them later.

Can't recommend them more highly. All page turners.

I totally agree
You have to show strength in negotiations, especially North Korea
Instead Trump showed weakness and bent the knee by giving Kim a Pass on Warmbier
When Kim and Putin met, they must of laughed about Trump
Putin has him in his pocket and Kim got the high profile meeting giving up nothing
Yup, Putin and Kim are giddy

Because we are americans does not give us the authority to go into every country in the world, against their rules and start spreading religion.

Being POTUS comes with certain responsibility's and decisions as CIC that any president may not like. A president may not like having to press the "big red button", but that comes with the office.

In negotiating with Kim, he needs to be allowed to save face. Humiliating him will just cost more lives. He's already shown he is a maniac when he machine gunned his relatives, who knows how many are dying in the slave camps?

The POTUS has to deal with dictator's like king Salman of Saudi Arabia who is a rampant beheader. He had 130 heads removed last year and is making headway [pun] toward that number again this year. He is disgusting imo, but he has to be dealt with, unless we are just going to kill everybody we don't like on the planet. When Saudi runs out of oil, we'll see how much they get away with then.

If Trump or other POTUS po's the king of SA, he can just call up the head jailer and tell him to kill the next 50 in line, it doesn't matter. Kim is the same way.

There is no leader on the planet that doesn't know who the world's premier military belongs to. Allowing Kim to save face is the smart move. Belittling him won't save lives or bring peace, or get us access to China's border, whatever the real motive is there.

These maniacal dictators are following a different set of rules. How many years did we have to let the Khmer rouge chop off heads? Now Cambodia has a tourism industry. Rome wasn't built in a day.

So, in March, Kim and Trump had that summit in Hanoi. It failed, and Trump left early. Coverage here was upstaged by Michael Cohen testimony, and may have contributed to the "diplomatic" failure there.

Since then, Kim's sister (the one who went to the Seoul Olympics) has not been seen. Kim's SoS or rough counterpart to Pompeo, has been relocated to a forced labor and re-education camp. And Kim's nuclear envoy and 4 of his executives who ran the summit were executed by firing squad.

But Trump 'loves' Kim. BFFs. Please don't try and suggest he doesn't know this happened, and before the rest of us.

I would hope everybody on here would be appalled by this. Not bad enough that Trump didn't stand up for Warmbeer, that he didn't support Japan and his own intelligence people in recognizing Kim is breaking his agreement...but this? Trump is probably wishing he had a firing squad of his own rather than recognizing how he played into this, and still is.
