As painful as it is for all of us, he's the president, and it's fine time he started acting like one.

He's never considered himself to be in the hospitality business, he always has been and always will be solely in the self promotion and enrichment business. That's why he ran. That's why he exists.

I wonder what the next faux outrage to remove Trump from office will be 🍿🍿🍿
Click to expand...
I'm just sticking with the fact that he is by far and away the most horrendously despicable human to ever hold the office. That's the root of the outrage and there is nothing faux about it. Everything else is just looking for a legal means to undo what was unconscionable to do in the first place. IMHO
This whole Trump sh!t show was inevitable and 100% predictable.

I think he is pretty much an a-hole, petty and narcissistic, but cannot saw he is the worst. I think LBJ would rank right up there, but just an opinion.
Now if you want to talk worst ever referees...

Always remember that he is more despicable than the president that put people in camps based on their race or the president that killed thousands of people in a forced march off their lands or the presidents that sent thousands of men to die in pointless wars or etc.

Orange man bad worst all time. Remember that.

It’s literally playing out before our eyes. Unbiased doesn’t mean uncritical.

Since when did criticism evolve into removing a President from office?

That’s the ridiculous part the liberals and media are missing. You want to remove him - then do it at the ballot box.

Right, we shouldn't hold him accountable for being a dumb con artist before then.

How many presidents have been removed from office outside of an election?

You won’t even acknowledge how extreme what is being portrayed as reasonable.

It’s all about politics, but so many on the left can’t admit it. The Democrats are convinced they can’t win against Trump so they must manufacture a scandal / hoax to remove him from office.

This is a question I’m sure we will never know the true answer to if we are honest with ourselves .

You mean the ones that you care about . Using what I’m sure you would apply ( a continuum scale ) if you found others , you’d grade them on . 😉

Oddly enough, I care most about the one(s) I actually know about.
The fact that it implicates Trump just makes it better, and more significant; seeing how he's the current POTUS and all.

Did you read the letter Trump wrote recently? It was grade school level communication

I'll agree with you on that; Trump's communication skills are below atrocious. However, if he communicates at the grade school level, most of the electorate (presumably even including elitely educated dims) will be able to understand.

I agree we should deal the one that’s relevant at the time . The problem is a lot of times we don’t , it goes “ unnoticed or ignored “ this is why whataboutisms exist . To think that there’s only been one president / administration to reach out to other countries for a bit of snooping around on people ( in my opinion ) is being naive . To be fair though I trust the government and it’s politicians as about as much as I would a fat kid in a candy store that hasn’t had sweets in 6 months and has a $100 bill in his pocket he’s supposed to buy school supplies with .

Luther, one day maybe (well probably not) you just may stumble over what makes capitalism tick and understand why socialism fails.

I'm guessing disclosure about how presidents dealt with political opponents depends greatly on how many presidents have used lightweights such as Rudy and Mulvaney as gatekeepers vs the real gatekeepers that squeaky clean presidents like FDR used.

We rightfully reserve this level of scrutiny for only the most horrendously despicable humans. If you don't want to be under a microscope of this magnitude, don't run a historically divisive campaign and then continue to be a complete a-hole after winning.
I consider it all to be part of the greater system of checks and balances.

LOL......spare me.
I know why both work and why both fail and why we currently must have a blend of both.
Maybe it's your understanding that is lacking.
