It surprises you that people support Trump? Bill Clinton is a serial rappist, his wife a woman who destroyed the women he abused. Together they have been the most corrupt 2 people in the modern history of politics and they are STILL TO THIS DAY put up on a pedestal by Democrats. Im not sure what you expect Trump supporters to do. Cry foul everytime he tweets? Not vote for him next year? I guess it all depends on how you define support. I dont care for his social media antics. I sure as hell dont care about his past. What I and most others who support him with our vote do so because he has disrupted DC like no other, he has exposed the leftist media for the scum they are, and despite every attempt by the other side to bring him down from Day 1, he has managed to move forward the things we expected him to do. Its not complicated when you take your emotions out of the equation.
Oh he's disrupted it alright it's ten times worse there's no partisanship now....its his way or the highway the whole administration has been the biggest joke in modern history and as an Iraq vet the middle east is a dumpster fire look at Syria last month pathetic.....smdh

Well put ! But be careful. I posted awhile ago that I didn't vote for Trump to be my moral leader and I got reamed by a well respected (and deservedly so) poster. Someone else said the MSM is not at fault for division in our country and that the press treats Trump fairly. I don't understand that perspective no matter what side your on.
 
Other than tax cuts for the rich what has he done for the good ole average joe.....not much nor has the dems everybody is so hung up on each other they have forgot you and me the two party system has to go in my opinion I hope to see there demise in my lifetime.

I spent 14 years of my life in Iraq and Afghanistan and still do contract work over there even after retiring. Its always been a dumpster fire and while I have mixed emotions about Syria, you cant put any of this ---- at the feet of Trump

Think Clinton was consensual sex, trump filled his office with bottom feeding swamp dwellers.

You know good and we'll what i meant then. Pulling out of the boarder and turning our backs on the Kurds is a mistake and strategically reckless. Bad policey across the board we need a stronger troop presence period!!! Seven years three tours 101st

Im not gonna argue this topic on the internet. I will bow out before I do that. Not worth it
 
Interesting. Probably not surprising since this guy is more of a moderate Democrat but it seems he plans on switching to the Republican Party because of how the whole impeachment process was handled... or maybe just wanting to distance himself from it for 2020 chances at reelection.

Very interesting and expected
 
That article is pretty misleading most sources put the number of Dems that will vote no at around 6 with 10-12 on the high side, out of 233 Dems in the House....not really wide scale lol.....
It's because it's from breitbart, which is known to be heavily biased toward the right and has a chance of being legit fake news.

It doesn’t matter imo as the Senate won’t convict barring something totally unseen and Trump will very likely get re-elected assuming the Dow/economy remain strong. “It’s the economy, stupid.” Geez, even the hugely anti-Trump SNL writers have over the last few weeks been frustratingly hinting at Trump still winning. When even SNL thinks Trump has it, it can’t be good for Dems. Of course, Alec Baldwin may secretly want this lol. I think Trump’s odds are now up to 75% and rising.

I think Warren’s collapse in the polls is very telling. The US will not elect a socialist/extreme lefty. And as much as I’ve been a Biden fan, he looks weak to me right now as a candidate, unfortunately. He’s kind of reminding me of McCain in 2008 and Dole In 1996. Is Bloomberg the only hope for Dems? Perhaps but probably not because its left wing won’t support a very wealthy candidate as silly as that sounds.

I realize it's right wing, but I still found it a surprise to me and interesting. Belive it or not, I look at all types of news sites for info, and I watch MSNBC more than Fox.
 
Interesting considering the source....

Probably because most Americans aren't very vocal about their political views unless asked or unless they're on the extreme end. Every week Trump does something that makes him stoop lower and lower in how America sees him. I'd say he lost a lot of his base but that still doesn't mean he won't get re-elected. What people seem to lean toward by that poll would mean that Americans don't like the way Trump acts and want someone less emotional and less over the top who doesn't pound whatever gets within a mile of them.

I don't agree with what I marked in bold. His base seems rock solid to me. This is evident in folks I talk to as well as posts here and elsewhere. I'm sure he lost some base, but not a lot. And he may have gained a nontrivial amount of nonbase to make up for a good portion of the base he lost. The main reason imo is the strong economy/Dow. He's still a horse's tush!
 
Its obvious that the economy trumps everything. Trump could kill someone and people wouldnt care as long as the economy is in good shape.
Economy always, always wins. As in, that’s always going to be front and center in the average American’s mind. But more importantly, coal miners, manufacturing, agriculture, etc., (groups of people who ironically democrats USED to cater to) felt forgotten before Trump. To them, caring about trans people using which bathrooms and “microaggressions” is irrelevant when you’re trying to figure out how to feed the family and pay bills when your field is slowly dying. To an extent, I can feel how one may put the social injustices Democrats like to talk about on the back burner when you’re struggling financially (though social issues *can be* the cause of financial struggles, but that’s a different discussion). They (“Rust Belt”, “Middle America”) were the key to Trump’s victory in 2016. We’ll see how they vote in 2020.
 
It was so interesting watching Comey on Chris Wallace yesterday. I could not imagine how he was going to spin the Horrowitz report. Chris is no Trump lover but he was not letting Comey off the hook. Playing clips back to back of Comey lying and then what Horrowitz said. It was amazing and frankly disturbing. I guess he has no other choice than to just ignore it at this point. He is a master at his craft. Also amazing to watch Schiff...Hold onnnn to your lug nuts America..there's fixin to be an overhaul... Nothing is going to stop the truth and there will be indictments. An amazing show...

It took me a full three years to understand what's really going on... at first I couldn't rationalize how all this would go down but it is going exactly as we were told it would.

It's amazing isn't it. Exhausting too actually but the corrupt must be exposed for this country to move forward...the corruption even before Trump. The movie about all this one day is going to be a blockbuster!
 
I heard that the major fake news networks have not given any coverage to the FISA judge blasting the FBI (which is why they are considered fake). It's unheard of for those judges to come out of hiding. The FISA court thing is very scary but people don't understand it including myself until lately. It's the only court where you have zero defense for yourself. If they decide to spy etc...then that's it. In fact you don't even have to know, they never have to have to tell you that they went through your whole personal life. The big deal on this is, they were fed wrong information to begin with to obtain the warrants. Now this one judge is mad. We have been talking about this for years. None of these judges ask more questions about the info being fed to them like who paid for the dossier and is it real.? This is how the Russia collusion thing was born. Interesting times and disgusting that Comey and McCabe are blaming the lower FBI level now. No bounds for these people. They will fight to the very end but it will not save them. The show has just begun. The illegal spying started BEFORE Trump so pop the corn.

So what? Who cares. In the end we found out that russia did in fact interfere and hack the DNC. It resulted in the indictments of 12 Russians. It failed to prove conspiracy between trump and russia but the investigation found out who meddled in the election. The ends justified the means.

Isnt this the new Republican mantra. The ends justify the means so it's ok to lie on a FISA request.

This is the new bed you and all the Republicans supporting what trump has done are making.

You crying foul over the FISA stuff are crocodile tears to me. I dont care to hear it because its hypocritical BS.

Calling something fake because you disagree with it isn't a good way to go about getting your information. If you say you don't think you're into conspiracies and such you're starting down the road by denying and not looking at every angle, even if it means putting those you trust in power into question. Question everything. If it's something you like, question it. If it isn't question it. Do real research, not a google search from your favorite source. It's like accepting a clown map of snow as truth. It alters your thinking.

The rise in support of OANN is quite frankly scary. A straight misinformation news agency who has reported truly fake news stories is gaining viewership from trumps supporters.

Yeah sites like such that prey on emotion and beliefs are something that I fear is going to become more and more mainstream in the future. It's downright propaganda. Most media is, but not to that degree. All you can really do is inform people it's fake before the get to it and accept it as reality.

Maybe my logic is off but if the FBI lied to get warrants, it isn’t far fetched to think they may have lied in other places.

Regardless, if this FISA lying is true, it’s a chicken/Egg scenario where our corrupt government enabled Trump.
 
I really cant stand when people post or share stupid crap on FB. One of my friends on FB shared this. What sense does it make to compare Obama's first year ( which was in the midst of a huge recession which occurred while Bush was president) to Trump's 3rd year in office ?20191218_111235.png
 
What's OANN?

One America New Network. Do not buy what they are selling. Look them up on wikipedia and look at the false stories they have written. Unfortunately people are believing their crap and its straight up misinformation propaganda.

In some ways the internet is destroying society IMO.
