democrats and the media are coming unglued. Completely unglued. Donald Trump has their heads spinning as he trolls them non-stop. Trump fired James Comey and while no one has really said that Comey didn’t need to go, the left is all frothing at the mouth about the timing, which I suspect is no accident.
Elizabeth Warren said that Trump “no doubt” fired Comey to kill the Russia investigation.
But Acting Director Wayne McCabe said the not only will the probe go on, but that no one has attempted to interfere with it.
But McCabe told senators that the investigation – which he called “highly significant” — is continuing unimpeded.
“The work continues despite any changes in circumstances,” McCabe said. “There has been no effort to impede our investigation to date. You cannot stop the men and women of the FBI from doing the right thing, protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution.”
Comey originally had been set to testify Thursday about worldwide threats, but McCabe appeared in his place, offering assurances to lawmakers that if there was any interference he would inform them. When asked by Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., if he would promise to tell them of any moves to interfere in the probe, McCabe said: “I absolutely do.”
The NY Times reported that Comey was asking for more money for the Russian investigation days before his firing said “three congressional officials familiar with the matter” :
Days before he was fired, former FBI Director James Comey asked the Justice Department for additional resources to expand the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to multiple press reports.
Not so, said McCabe.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The FBI’s acting head said on Thursday he believed the agency has sufficient resources to investigate alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and he was not aware of any request for more resources.
“If you are referring to the Russia investigation, I do. I believe we have the adequate resources to do it and I know that we have resourced that investigation adequately,” acting FBI director Andrew McCabe told lawmakers, adding that he was unaware of any request by the agency for additional resources.
And that such a request would be highly unusual:
Senator: “Can you confirm that that request [funding request for Russia probe] was, in fact, made?”
McCabe: “I can not confirm that request was made.
As you know, when we need resources, we make those requests here. So, I’m not aware of that request and it’s not consistent with my understanding of how we request additional resources.
That said, we don’t typically request resources for an individual case. And, as I mentioned, I strongly believe that the Russia investigation is adequately resourced.”
And McCabe did not see the need for a special prosecutor:
Senator Lankford: “Is it your impression at this point that the FBI is unable to complete the investigation in a fair and expeditious way because of the removal of Jim Comey?”
McCabe: “Is is my opinion and belief that the FBI will continue to pursue this investigation vigorously and completely.”
Senator Lankford: “Do you need someone to take this away from you and somebody else to do it?”
McCabe: “No, sir.”
Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts beclowned himself when spread false information to CNN:
Sen. Ed Markey (D., Mass.) on Wednesday spread a false news story about the investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign team’s purported ties to Russia.
“There are very strong allegations that the Russians had relationships with people inside of the Trump campaign,” Markey said during an interview on CNN.
“In fact, subpoenas have now been issued in Northern Virginia with regard to General [Michael Flynn] and General Flynn’s associates,” Markey continued. “A grand jury has been impanelled up in New York.”
Markey took the information from left wing blogs and had to eat his words later:
“This morning Senator Markey erroneously reported that a grand jury has been empaneled in New York related to the wider inquiry of possible Trump campaign and administration ties to Russia,” a spokesman said in a statement.
“Senator Markey does not have direct intelligence that is the case, and the information he was provided during a briefing is not substantiated,” the statement continued. “Subpoenas have been issued in Eastern Virginia, but Senator Markey apologizes for the confusion.”
CNN’s Jim Acosta was galactically trolled by Trump. Trump met with two Russian officials at the White House and shut out the US press, allowing only TASS , an official White House photographer and a Russian photographer. The media wasn’t happy:
The distribution prompted fury from members of the U.S. press for their perceived shutout of the meeting, and their reliance on Russian state run media to get a look into the meeting. The move left the U.S. press reliant only on the Russian government distributed photos for a meeting between their President and foreign officials.
Then someone allegedly leaked to Acosta that the White House was “furious” over the Russians publishing the photos.
WH furious over Russian government photos of Trump meeting with Lavrov/Kislyak. "They tricked us," an official said of Russians "They lie."
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 11, 2017
This is hysterical. Trump was “bamboozled”? No.
How can anyone in their right mind truly believe that Trump allowed the Russian photographer to capture images and would not publish them?
Pulllleeez.
Meanwhile, democrats are stewing in the broth of their own hypocrisy. They scream about Trump firing Comey but they all wanted Comey fired last year. Here’s a tasty treat:

Chuck Schumer lost confidence in Comey last November. Rosie O’Donnell wanted Comey fired.

And dear Maxine Waters can’t stop making as ass of herself. She said Trump firing Comey was wrong but that she would support hillary clinton firing Comey.
However, in the interview Wednesday on MSNBC, asked if she would be okay with a hypothetical President Hillary Clinton dismissing Comey from his position, Waters said yes.
“If she had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes,” the California Democrat said.
“So she should have fired him but had he shouldn’t fire him. This is why I’m confused,” Alexander said to Waters.
“No, no you’re not confused,” Waters told Alexander.
“I am confused,” Alexander responded.
She had publicly stated that Comey “had no credibility.”
Just last week Adam Schiff was highly critical of Comey but strained his neck from whiplash while pirouetting to his new perch:
He also said by firing Comey, Trump caused the public to wonder:
By firing Comey, Trump again has caused the public to wonder whether there is more here than meets the eye. To the long list of questions about his former national security adviser, his attorney general’s flawed testimony before the Senate and his campaign’s contacts with Russia, we must now add one more: Why, really, did the president fire James Comey?
However, last week Schiff blasted Comey, after the former FBI director defended his decision to announce the FBI was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton.
He told CNN last Wednesday that Comey’s decision was “colossally poor exercise of his judgment that has had really significant consequences:”
Consequences on how the country now views the FBI, how it views the Justice Department, I think it has cast a lot of doubt on the impartiality – the apolitical nature of the FBI, and he did the very same damage to the bureau that I think he was hoping to avoid.
He added: “I think it was a very bad judgment that had a very substantial and adverse consequence.”
The last time a President fired an FBI Director? Why, that was Bill Clinton, who fired William Sessions one day before Vince Foster was found dead.
democrats need to tread lightly here. That might get more than they are ask for, i.e. a new review of the hillary clinton scandal:
Brian Weidner, a veteran former FBI agent, suggested both the case and the immunity deals struck during that investigation could be revisited.
“I would be surprised if they did not review all the investigations regarding HRC and come up with [a] conclusion regarding prosecution. The statute of limitations hasn’t come into play yet,” he said in an email to Fox News.
As for the immunity deals struck with key players in the Clinton orbit, he noted those deals are “with the government, so in theory it wouldn’t change.”
However, he wrote, “a new AG and new director may take a good look at the entire case, and if anyone who received immunity did not live up to their agreement, like Huma [Abedin] with the classified documents on her computer, the deal is off and they are potential targets again.”
I suspect all this is happening for a reason. Trump is impeaching the media. He ponders cancelling press briefings for the sake of accuracy:
“As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!……Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future “press briefings” and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???”
And then spelled it out
The Fake Media is working overtime today!

It’s Trump’s turn to unmask- to unmask the press as an arm of the DNC.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
President Trump Tweeted this out this AM:
LOL!
Hilarious. Can’t wait to hear more about how Trump is a serial-liar, etc.
He’s causing the leftist-media-complex to implode…like his voters knew he would.
The Left made an art out of slander and false-allegations to character assassinate their opponents. Rape, Russia, Racism…none of it works on Trump.
The Left is spinning out of control…as hoped for.
In that NBC interview, Trump straight up admitted he fired Comey in order to wrap up the Russia investigation.
And subpoenas have been issued to members of Trumps campaign in regards to their relationship with Russia. I dont know why the state is that important.
And Trump pondered stopping the daily briefings explicitly because of his own staff’s problems with “accuracy” not the press.
When trump needs the demacrats he sings SEND IN THE CLOWNS
The Dems and their leftist media cannot afford to give up on trying to take Trump down. Logic and reason mean nothing to members of a political ideology that see its survival at stake, and will do anything it takes to prevent it from imploding. Unfortunately for them the implosion is occurring, and the more they scream and flail about, the faster it takes place. The real worry is that they will act more and more out of desperation, and factions of the radical left will become insanely violent. They will become the “domestic terrorists” the left ironically accused the TEA Party of being. We already see this happening with groups like Antifa. It will only get worse.
Dr J DT at 34%—most are tiring of his buffoonery. I’ve been watching his antics for over 40 years but I gotta admit he’s taken it to new levels.
How you doing?
I have this on a good authority that a new scandal will soon break
about Trump. He is actually the progeny of a vampire and a Martain. Probably Maxine Waters will break the story. Hey let
him prove that it’s not true.
I see Michealle Obama is whining abiut Trump ending her putrid school lunch mandates Yeah Sure and Woo Hoo listen to the mindless cluck of Attila the Hen
@Richard Wheeler:
Fake News, Inc. No wait. that’s 34% approval amongst Dumbocraps. that’s good. it means he’s on the right track. The lower the Dumbocraps numbers get means he is headed the right way. The country wants to go up, the Dumbocraps want it to go down. They are actually pulling for the president of their country to fail. that is real patriotism.
@Jim Thorpe:
Wait, you’re not saying Maxine is the vampire, are you?.
@Richard Wheeler: Your polls have not been very kind to your wishes of what will be. Your little popularity scores are based solely on what the corrupt, lying media pretends is news. I see his actual accomplishments and intentions and his rating is far higher.
@Richard Wheeler: You prefer style over substance therefore rely on fake D+10 polls. I prefer substance over style. Here is a nice little comparison between Trump’s first four months vs. Obama’s and is probably another reason the dems and media keep the bogus Russian conspiracy narrative alive (BTW, Capper came out yet again today and said there was no collusion). There is a clear winner as to who was more successful. I’d rather have an unpopular, rough around the edges President who gets results than a popular, pretty boy President who doesn’t.
@another vet: Talk about cherry picking and misinterpreting. As you know the stock market made an incredible run under BHO–UP OVER 150% Trump “rally” has a long long way to go.
Trump discounted BHO unemployment and jobs #’s as fake news–now he brags about them–typical DT
RE. market driven by low interest rates continues a major 5-6 year recovery
Comey firing–foolish or planned timing?? Reason given by DT “because of that Russian thing.” more will be revealed–investigation continues.
Foreign policy—jury is surely out–what’s Trump gonna do about N.K–he’s been silent lately
regarding polls–pick any one you want or RCP average–no good news for DT
btw James Clapper has never said “there is no collusion.”
@Richard Wheeler:The funny thing about Obama’s employment figures is that even with really crappy jobs numbers, the unemployment figures would drop, indicating that wasn’t the accurate picture. Currently, though, the labor participation rate is improving.
Comey could not have been fired for anything related to the Russian thing because there IS no “Russian thing”.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: Those were Trump’s words—he seems more confused, more distracted than usual—maybe his foreign trip will be good for him. His FBI pick is important.
@Richard Wheeler: He doesnt seem confused at all unless you were expecting the kind of muddled, naive policies that only make sense if someone were intentionally trying to destroy the country.
@Richard Wheeler: Obama had the worst record for GDP growth of any Post WWII President and the fourth worst record of any President period. The country is overdue for another recession and I’m guessing the reason why it hasn’t happened is because we were just barely staying out of one the last eight years so there was no need for a “cooling off period” because it never got hot.
@Richard Wheeler:
A transcript from Clapper’s interview:
GRAHAM: Without objection. General Clapper, on March 5, 2017, you said the following to a question. Here’s the question.
Does intelligence exist that can definitely answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials? You said we did not include any evidence in our report.
And I say our, that’s the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything — that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.
Chuck Todd (ph) then asked, I understand that, but does it exist? You say no, not to my knowledge. Is that still accurate?
CLAPPER: It is.
BTW- you, Mata, and I had a discussion about the 150% “growth” in the stock market under Obama once before and as we pointed out, it tanked first then came back up meaning a good chunk of those gains was regaining what had been lost. The gains posted this year have been new gains not gains making up ground that was lost.
@another vet: I realize the market went down first from around 7400 inaug to around 6500 about 5 months laterThen it went to around 17000 at end of his 8 years The nearly 150% is from the 7400 level on inauguration day to the 17000+ when he finished up—CK MY NUMBERS –off the top of my head but pretty accurate.
Re Investigation It’s ongoing and more may be revealed–we’ll see
you’d agree “not to MY knowledge” is not the same as a definitive “there is no collusion.”
Why do you think Trump team won’t confirm or deny existence of W.H. Tapes/Comey dinner?
@Richard Wheeler: @Richard Wheeler:
Still a sucker I see. YOU HAVE NOTHING.
NOTHING. Keep buying into the FOS media you slavishly follow.
Impeachment right around the corner. Trump in bed with Russia on it’s way.
Tune in to Maddow and Mother Earth News.
Having a good laugh at your expense.
Now go adjust your tin foil hat.
There is none so blind as those who will not see.
@Mully: Mully I see you are still The Trumpeteer marching in lockstep behind your clothes less Emperor Every day he looks more foolish–approval ratings at 36%–going down.
As a fellow New Yorker and former Marine Corps Officer I’ve watched him since the days he skipped V.N. service with a “bad foot”-he can’t remember which one.
Whether he shows up as a Dem. Indie Reform or Repub–no matter which trophy wife he waddles in with–he’s ‘still The Donald
The jokes on you Mully.
@Richard Wheeler: The markets were at around 14,000 right before the recession. That means everything up to 14,000 was regaining lost ground which is what is supposed to happen during a recovery. Nothing special here. Everything over 14,000 would be the real gains. And the author of my article didn’t cherry pick anything. He provided a full spectrum of economic stats. Cherry picking would be looking at seven or eight approval polls and then picking either the lowest or highest one and using that to the exclusion of the others. Speaking of cherry picking, is there any reason why when quoting Trump’s numbers you use the lowest number but when you used to quote Obama’s, you’d use the highest?
@Mully: You should check out Kurt Schlichter’s piece at the Townhall if you haven’t had a chance to read it.
They do have a new “scandal” though today. The Wapo claims Trump revealed super secret information to the Russians when he met their ambassador. It was immediately shot down by the Pentagon by people who were actually in the room as opposed to the “anonymous source” they quoted. A repeat of last week when McCabe and the DOJ shot down the NY Slimes and Wapo fake news stories that Comey requested additional funds for the Russia investigation and that Rosenstein threatened to quit.
@another vet: What are you talking about? All that matters is what the markets DOW S&P AND NASDAQ did while Obama was Prez– up about 150%-0r under Trump up about 22%-You are talking about the decline under Bush–irrelevant to this discussion.
I was a stockbroker for nearly 10 years–don’t understand what you’re saying,
Take any recognized poll you want–how’s Trump doing? What’s wrong with using RCP.?
He’s becoming harder and harder to defend. It’s being reported he released classified info to the Russians in the oval office last week. What’s next?
The media asks 20 or 30 questions then takes 1 that isnt perfectly accurate and only runs with that for the whole news cycle. Every time its chaos this or lying that. Screw em give them a sheet of paper once a day. WAPO has the worst “sources” trying hard to overtake CNN, straight up lies. The lies quickly picked up by every other rabid “get Trump” liberal voice that can repeat it for the next few days.
@Richard Wheeler:
The “leak” has been debunked by three high ranking people who were physically present in the room.
So now you are going to compare what the market did in Obama’s 96 months to what it did in Trump’s 4? Sounds fair. Kind of like letting one team bat for 18 innings and the other for 9.
Then as a stockbroker, your advice to me would be that if I started with $4,000 and then lost $2,000 of it and then made $3,000 making my investment $5,000 that I would have gained $3,000 and not $1,000? Interesting.
I already told you I don’t care about approval ratings especially in D+10 polls. How well did those work out on November 8th? President Hillary sure did score a lopsided victory!
I said the same thing about Obama but those of you who treated him as the second coming defended him for eight years and still do despite the mess he left. I can take pride in stating I have never blindly followed any person, Trump included. I will also never treat him as some sort of messiah either the way you folks did with Obama.
@kitt: There’s a hell of a lot of smoke–Trump wouldn’t be any worse off if he did away with his press corps rather than sending them out ill prepared to get hammered by the press and the TV media.
Trump is a nasty guy and a bully by any standards—shouldn’t surprise anybody that he’s getting battered by those that just plain dislike his act.
Like me
Didn’t like HRC either—but for different reasons.
@another vet: C’mon AV–You start with 4k you hold and finish with 10k-simple. You don’t understand that??
Trump off to a good start It’s early–if interest rates stay low he’ll be fine.
Mata, God love her, around 2013-2014 was calling for the Stock Market and the Real Estate Market to implode. Sure didn’t happen
Obama left rapidly rising stock market and RE market–Trump jumped on–by definition we were not even close to a recession.
BTW–You could have made a bundle in the Bond Market,as my wife did, with declining rates providing double barrel returns for those who bought and held 2010 through 2015.Rates going the other way past 12 months and trend is up.
@Richard Wheeler:
Along with an additional 10 trillion or so of debt; a new deadly terrorist organization called ISIS; an AQ that was assessed as being stronger than it was at any time since 9/11; a destabilized ME especially Iraq, Syria, and Libya; lost ground in Afghanistan; an emboldened and strengthened NK and Iran; an additional 13 million people on food stamps; deteriorated race race relations; an even more divided country; a socialist monster called Obamacare; annual GDP growth rates under 2%; stagnant wage growth, and scandals that are still playing themselves out. And I’m sure I missed a few things.
@another vet: We were talking about the stock market–Are you in agreement with your 4 becoming 10 if you bought and held? A rising stock market and real estate market? Declining unemployment? An approval rate that Trump can only dream about?
Scandals?? Where in DT’S Head?
A likeable personality and a great family–I just threw that in.
BTW I think I had HRC 50 DT 44 others 6
I was close with final vote HRC 48 DT 46 others 6
@Richard Wheeler:
Irrelevant to my point. Either you misunderstood it or are sidestepping the question. I was using those numbers as an example. Forget about buying, holding etc.
Compliments of a falling labor force participation rate and part time jobs. If the job market and economy improved so much, why were there millions more added to the food stamp rolls and welfare rolls? A question that I’ve posed to you before that you’ve always sidestepped.
His average job approval rating of 47.9 % ranks him at number 9 of the 12 Post WWII Presidents. But I know, lower the standard and then claim success.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/202742/obama-averages-job-approval-president.aspx
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
This might be the one that finally snaps Congressional Republicans out of their hypnotic trance. Of course, I thought firing the people who are investigating him would have had such an effect, and was wrong about that.
This isn’t Watergate. Watergate doesn’t even come close to what this might turn out to be.
@another vet: Forget buy hold?? Weren’t we talking about the stock market?
What scandals? Obama’s eight years were scandal free.
Average job approval rating 47.9% nothing to brag about–is that current RCP or are you cherry picking?
As a military man I know you understand the severity of the charges made against Trump by WAPO—For the safety of those he may have compromised I sincerely hope they are not true.
@another vet: I see the 47.9% was BHO ave—going out at 59%
What’s Trumps ave–no doubt a record low..
@Richard Wheeler:
The point I am making is apparently way over your head. I’m sure most everyone else here gets it. It’s real easy. Forget the stock market. I will now try simple math.
4,000-2,000= 2,000
2,000+3,000= 5,000
5,000-4,000= 1,000 not 3,000.
If you can’t comprehend my point, let me know so I won’t waste anymore time with it.
One of the most absurd statements you have ever made here. If it was someone else making the statement I call them a flat out liar. Let’s see here- Benghazi; the IRS scandal; Hillary’s emails; the VA scandal; Fast and Furious; the secretive Iran deal; accusations from a sitting President, two U.S. senators, and what would have been a Supreme Court Justice (now deceased) claiming he spied on them, and now quite possibly erroneous charges that the Russians hacked the DNC emails knowing all along it was an inside job. Lots of pleading of the Fifth along the way. I’m sure I missed a few scandals as well.
Read the link.
Charges that have been debunked by those in the room. People with real names not “anonymous sources”. If you bothered to read the WAPO article, they even admit, that if true (which it’s not), Trump did not break any laws because as POTUS, he has the ultimate declassification authority. Another pundit quoted their WH source last night claiming no one who was present even talked to the WAPO. As a military man, I find it strange that you are obsessed with a debunked fake news story but had no problem with the well documented case concerning Hillary’s felonious handling of classified material.
What this boils down to is that you think with emotions. You obviously hate Trump (I don’t have an issue with that) and are therefore buying into every piece of fake news that comes out. You also obviously have a man crush on Obama (and before you get all huffy and accuse me of accusing you of being a homosexual, read what the definition of a man crush is). Hence your increasingly hysterical, reactionary posts.
@Richard Wheeler: I see the 47.9% was BHO ave—going out at 59%
Under Bush, the Republicans suffered big losses and less than 30% of people believed the country was headed in the right direction when he left office (for an obvious reason- the recession). He left with an approval rating of around 30%. Under Trump so far, the percentage of people believing the country is headed in the right direction is in the mid 30’s. His average approval rating is around 40%. When Obama left office the percentage of people believing the country was headed in the right direction was less than 40%. His would be successor who campaigned as his third term garnered 48% of the popular vote. His party suffered the biggest losses of any President since I believe the ’20’s. Yet, he left office with a 59% approval rating. That would cause an objective thinking person to scratch their head and ask, “Why the disparity?” and dig a little deeper. But when you have an agenda with pre-conceived opinions that doesn’t happen. Unfortunately, that is becoming the norm in our society and it leads to blind obedience and that is how oligarchies and worst yet, dictatorships are formed.
@another vet: I’m the guy that was the Merrill Lynch Stockbroker AV The stock market is the subject you brought up. If you invest $1000 on Jan 1 2009 it goes down to $750 in value on May 1 2009 then goes up to $2500 on Jan 1 2017 and you sell you made $1500 on your original $1000 a 150% return..
That mirrors the DOW approx of 7400 to 6300 to 17,600 over that period–if you can’t comprehend that VERY SIMPLE math then you have no clue about the stock market and I won’t waste
MY time any more..
You’re the guy with a man crush on Trump buying into his repetitive judges are stupid, everything is fake news, press is the enemy, alternative facts B.S
I disagreed with Obama on many occasions including his failure to bomb Assad as promised
Re what happened in W. H. Trump says he gave classified intelligence to his Russian buddies–perfectly legal.You’re O.K with it. Time will tell.
Think with emotions–ha—This guy Trump is an emotional mess–acting strictly from emotions–changing positions and statements daily.Out of control doing whatever the hell he wants I consider his leadership dangerous,
@Richard Wheeler: 13
I guess I missed where you pointed out which of the numbers were wrong. Seems as if you are implying that when a sprinter takes a huge lead in the hundred yard dash that he usually ends up losing. We know how obama finished, very slowly after 8 years, but we can only judge that Trump has a huge lead after 4 months. Ask Michael Phelps if he’d rather have the lead at the first turn, or be way behind?
@Redteam: I implied nothing of the sort–Trump has a great start–stock mkt– in a long race—re Obama markets up close to 150% over 8 years–would you agree? Trump up about 22% over 4 months–agree?
One difference–Trump will be lucky to get 4 years.
If you’re talking approval ratings–Trump off to an historically slow start–good news for him–it’s early.
@Richard Wheeler:
I guess it’s a matter of perspective. I think he has a great news team. Spicer and Huckabee show the press to be so ill informed that they don’t even know what questions to ask. KelleyAnne has gay guy Cooper rolling his eyes. Remember when Cooper rolled his eyes when he was interviewing Moochelle and how Obama lowered the boom on him?
I think it’s great that Trump has cured all the problems of the world since he took over. Now all the press even have to ask questions about is ‘fake news’. Nothing new even happening around the World anymore. It’s amazing how many times Spicer has to repeat a statement before the Press figures out what he meant. You’d think 3 or 4 times would do it, but those news guys were trained by lefties and it takes them a long time to interpret facts. Understand Mooche is now whining because Trump killed her school food plan which was killing kids at a new rate considering their weight gains with her plan. I guess you have to believe she is following that plan the way her ass has ballooned over the years.
Unemployment rate: All these numbers are fiction. the unemployment rate in the US is about 42 or 43 percent. there are about 150 million working and about 110 million not working (that should be) so these numbers like 5% are ridiculous.
@Richard Wheeler:
But ignores the previous high of 14,000. As Mata pointed out the last time when you tried to convince Smorg about all the money he “made” on the stock market, you purposely selected a date to make it look as though the market performed better than it did making everything look as new gains when in fact most of it was regaining lost territory which happens every recovery and is therefore nothing special. Kind of like talking about manmade global warming and going back 100 years when the planet is over 3 billion years old. I’m done with this issue.
Point out where I defended him on the judges’ statement. Point out where I said everything is fake news. There have been plenty of instances of fake news and alternative facts being put out by the press (at least four in the last week the WAPO article yesterday being the latest) and you’ve parroted everyone of them. You also just parroted Obama’s easily proven lie that there were no scandals on his watch. Now, go back to my criticisms of Trump during the primaries and the fact that I stated just last week that if there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed high crimes and misdemeanors I would support his impeachment. You did no such thing with Obama despite his abuses even complimenting him as to what an “exemplary” ex-President he was just a couple of hours after Trump was sworn in. It’s on YOU to provide evidence of your accusations against me.
That being the only I one can ever recall and it was a passing criticism at that. Perhaps you can point out the many other occasions you criticized him.
I read he said he shared information with them. Please provide a transcript of him making this statement. I’m not denying it. I just haven’t seen it.
Per H.R. McMaster, who was physically present in the room when this went down:
Please provide us with what you heard at the meeting.
@Greg: 32 So Greg, what is the issue that is ‘bigger than watergate” Tell us exactly what ‘law’ did Trump break? You do know that the president can declassify any info he wants to at any time he wishes to and that is all legal. But tell us ‘exactly’ what info did he release? All of the people that were there don’t know of anything.
@Richard Wheeler: 33
LOL. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Iran, uranium for money, etc. I could continue ad infinitum but I suspect you already have most of the list.
@another vet: I started with the day Obama took office and finished with the day he left. An invest in any of the 3 major indexes over that time –up approx. 150%. Smorg had bought stocks earlier at higher prices but if he held and continues to hold he’s done fine Unfortunately many get scared out near the bottoms.How is Mata the realtor? hope she was able to make some money over the last few years.
I’ll admit you don’t like Trump as much as I like Obama–absolutely understandable–you’re with the large majority.
I’d say we dislike HRC pretty equally—both respect Jim Webb.
Haven’t followed the General’s press Conference today They’ll be plenty of debate on this.
When I spoke of scandals I was speaking of Personal scandal not Administration scandals–how’s that–learned it from Trump
Semper Fi
@Greg:
Still waiting, dreaming, hoping for that magic bullet, huh? People that didn’t bat an eye when Obama told the Russians how many nukes the British had (without their permission) simply because they asked and he wanted his treaty so badly are spazzing out over a rumor, already debunked.
@Richard Wheeler: Obama’s term was the most scandal-riddled of any in history (only challenged by Clinton) and that you could even repeat such obvious propaganda exposes your mindless bias.
Basing your evaluation of leadership on popularity polls is infantile, particularly when these polls are based solely on the main stream propaganda. The polls have been rendered worthless by the corrupt media. Real leadership sometimes does not promote popularity.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: I agree Trump is very unpopular AND is seriously lacking in leadership skills—could learn something from his Generals.
Rumor debunked? Pls elaborate
@Richard Wheeler:
What’s not to like about a guy with a Harem?
@Richard Wheeler: Having voted for and still supporting Obama, as well as actually writing out loud that absolutely ridiculous deviation from reality, “scandal free”, you really have no clue as to what leadership is.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: I said Obama was personally free from scandal for 8 years. Which of course he was.
You may question my leadership for supporting OBAMA though as a former Marine Corps Company Commander I don’t see the connection.
I, on the other hand, can certainly question your very sanity in voting for Trump.
In #46 you referenced a “debunked rumor” I ask again for clarification. Thanks
