I don't care, he's done his part (although he could take a break from tweeting) and thank God his election happened so that all the idiot politicos in this country got a wake up call that the people have had enough of the nonsense coming from DC and that the populist awakening is coming for them. If Trump has to go, Pence can step in and keep it all going.

Donald Trump has been an awesome, incredible, resounding, ROARING success as our President, for 2 reasons:
1. Gorsuch is on the Supreme Court.
2. Hillary Clinton is gone, [U]forever[/U].
Bonuses: Democratic Party implosion, booming economy, DPRK backing off, bathing everyday in leftists tears coming from snowflakes on this forum like blungld, NYCGOBEARS, et al.
Donald can go play golf until 2020, I don't care, he's done his part (although he could take a break from tweeting) and thank God his election happened so that all the idiot politicos in this country got a wake up call that the people have had enough of the nonsense coming from DC and that the populist awakening is coming for them. If Trump has to go, Pence can step in and keep it all going. It's a fantastic time in America, and looking forward to our country's future.

So the blueprint for removing someone from the White House is pretty clear at this point. Just need to give them credit for Trump's victory and write enough articles about them. I nominate Miller as the next person to anoint since he seems to be the remaining ideologue and source of Trump's worst policies, positions and statements.

You're wonderfully articulated DBAP response might more aptly apply to your own complete evasion of the questions I asked.

All the outspoken Trump supporters have been very aggressive and sure of themselves in their attacks on Clinton (why in the world is this their priority?) or their defense of Trump, but when I ask a direct question on these boards I get no answer. Let me try again:
1) Do you still hold that there is "nothing" to the investigation of Trump, that it is an unjustified witch hunt? This in no way justifies an investigation? http://billmoyers.com/story/trump-russia-timeline/
2) Do you still believe that he is doing a good job and that he is good man making the country great again?
3) That he has drained the swamp rather than swamped it with ugly incompetence and moneyed interests?
4) If he is found guilty of collusion, money laundering, espionage, tax evasion, perjury, and/or other crimes associated with a cover up or election fraud, will you call it a Liberal plot or will go on record now saying that if he is found guilty of these things then you were wrong and he is the dishonest, amoral un-American narcissist that we have been warning you about since the campaign? Will you ever look at how you make decisions, the bias you hold, and question your sources of information? Put it down here, is there anything wrong or illegal he can do...or is he always right and are your beliefs implacable?
Months ago I said I thought he would resign or be impeached within the year, and you called me crazy and the result of the Liberal bubble, who lives in the bubble now? Who wants to bet money now?

The "Russia" "investigation" is the most absurd and bizarre media hoax of the 21st century, there is nothing to substantiate impeachment, there never will be, and Trump will remain in office until 2024.

Afghanistan was never lost because it never could have been won and it has always been so:
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen
-Rudyard Kipling
Let trump send Ivanka and Don, Jr. to fight (He probably has already enlisted Eric and Tiff).

I disagree. After 9/11 we rolled up the Taliban pretty quickly and if we had been able to stay focused and catch bin Laden at Tora Bora, we could have done some brief nation building (some quick highways and schools) and left an ally in power, while we still had some moral authority in the eyes of the world, and declared victory and been out by 2004. That was our only chance at success. Of course, that would have precluded the invasion of Iraq which is what the GWB team really wanted all along so that didn't happen.
calbear93;842863538 said:
I couldn't disagree more. We need to stop with the nation building as if there is no cultural difference that would bar our vision of good governance in certain countries or that democracy would work so well in other countries (that was a great experiment in Middle East, wasn't it - the Arab Spring was such a ringing success, with Syria, Libya, and even Egypt before the military coup being what we envisioned - that was one of the worst screw ups during the Obama administration, with Hillary leading the charge in support of Arab Spring). There was no path to success in Iraq, Syria, Libya or Afghanistan. What, we didn't learn anything from Soviet Union's foray into Afghanistan and our meddling there that enabled, trained and equipped bin Laden? Yes, we needed to bomb the heck out of Taliban as deterrence after 9/11 and their sheltering of Bin Laden - similar to what the first Bush did with Iraq - and then get out. The problem with GWB's Iraq war was that he thought there was something to finish what his father started (the reason for the Desert Storm was fully accomplished) and thought that we had some magic fairy dust that would turn Middle East into America with some bombs and money. We need to do surgical strikes and secret operations when necessary for deterrence and national security and use diplomacy to exert pressure for human rights without using hammer to constantly enforce our way of life in countries that don't want it.

Pat Buchanan, Trump's biggest supporter:
"Like Presidents Obama and Bush, he does not intend to preside over a U.S. defeat in its longest war. Nor do his generals. Yet how can we defeat the Taliban with 13,000 troops when we failed to do so with the 100,000 Obama sent?"
Ho Chi Minh:
"You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win."

Still listening to Maddow?
jyamada;842864823 said:
Maddow is great. Don't think Russia is a witch hunt like Trump says or absurd and bizarre like 93 says! Not looking good for the Trumpster.
Cal88;842864867 said:
I think you're building up your hopes too much here, J. This is pretty much a politically-motivated partisan fishing expedition. I've scanned through the Moyers dossier, didn't see anything egregious, if you disagree then maybe you could flesh out the entries you believe are particularly incriminating. I think you can make a good case for a genuine conflict of interest situations with Trump though, for instance with Deutsche Bank. Would his SEC commissioner have slapped Deutsche hundreds of millions in fines, as did Obama's? Maybe a Trump appointee would have been more lenient, given his boss' business relationship...
Those kinds of conflicts existed under Obama though. His staff was mostly cherrypicked by Wall Street interests, and this has greatly affected how his administration handled the $8 trillion financial bailout, to the tremendous detriment to the taxpayers, in what was probably the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind.
Cal88;842864791 said:
Good posts Bearister. Buchanan is absolutely right, Trump is not sticking with his anti-interventionist electoral line with this announced Afghanistan plan, which boils down to a continuation of a failed policy.

Ann Coulter, a hard right commentator is so frustrated with Trump's reluctance to fulfill his campaign promises, that when she now calls him (her former saviour), The Emperor God; It's a term of derision.
"Ann Coulter turns on Trump: She blasts the President for his 'tiny ego' and urges him to go 'pedal-to-the-metal on deportations, the Wall and that tax hike on multi-millionaires'
Right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter lashed out at President Trump
Coulter mocked Trump by calling him an 'Emperor God,' saying his 'tiny ego' is getting in the way of governing
The comments came after Steve Bannon was ousted from the White House
Coulter also attacked aides Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Miller"
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4807006/Ann-Coulter-blasts-Trump-Bannon-firing.html
While I have been calling our president, The Grump, because of his dour and mean on-screen persona; I have also been calling his
presidential demeanor, imperial. I think Ann Coulter is right on this, he is behaving in the manner of an Emperor God.
A recent poll found that over 50% of Republicans would support the Emperor God if he cancelled the Presidential Election in 2020.
Awesome display of blind faith in the electorate.
