Mueller: If we had confidence the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.
Given the comments above, maybe I should place a link from this thread to the thread about William Barr's reputation and how it will be affected by his foray into Trumpland...but I won't bother.
Deb
Then impeach him!. What are the Dems waiting for?? . AllMueller: If we had confidence the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.
Did you find any collusion with the Russians?@Dancing Fire, My husband bought a copy of the full Mueller Report. Would you like me to send it to you when we are finished reading it?
Any other country would not have tolerated the things in Trumps past and the things he did to win that election..... as previously stated he was refused entry into Australia because he is a criminal before he became President.
You should all be embarrassed as a country that your system allows such a poor choice of human being to become your leader, I'm not an American and I'm embarrassed for you.
Believe me, we are embarrassed. We don't ALL need to be shamed constantly and told how much better other countries (Canada and Australia, esp) are NONSTOP. We have to deal with this bullshit every day. As evidenced by the lack of conservatives who participate in Hangout/on political threads, you are preaching to the choir. As an American, I am acutely aware of the problems my country has. I have never, not once, looked down my nose at any other country and thought (let alone said aloud) that we have it so much better than anyone else in the world, nor do I know many fellow citizens with that attitude. Not all of us are the bumbling idiots many outside the U.S. seem to think we are. I did not choose to live here; I was born here and have no actual reason to leave. I'm also not selling some American Dream to anyone outside the U.S. since I know firsthand what its shortcomings are. I'm really sick and tired of non-Americans telling me how embarrassed and ashamed I should be, especially when I did not vote for this person and was particularly active and vocal about my views during the last election process. Nothing good came of Hillary calling certain conservatives "deplorables." When you insult people intending to get them to see your point of view, it doesn't work. Ever. It pushes people away and your message is lost. If we have learned anything from the last election results, I hope it is that we need to treat each other better and more kindly, on a local and global scale, period.

Like it or not a system that allows someone like that to become their President is inherently broken and the more people that keep calling it out (particularly to the masses that voted for the man) the more likely hopefully something will change.
PREACH. We’re under the tyranny of the minority and they’re idiots, charlatans, and snake oil salesmen all mixed up.
If me stating on here or anywhere else that Trump is a national embarrassment and spelling out why repeatedly means one less person votes for him next time (even if that person is just DF & his wife) then as far as I can see, mission achieved.
When he got elected I was as sad as many of you were, it's not just embarrassment for the US, I feel a deep sadness, that a return to conservative values (which is happening across Europe and many parts of the world) means that he was the best option - to me (and I'm married to a staunch conservative) he doesn't represent decent conservatives any better than he does the average American.
The fact he has remained untouchable, & completely unaccountable, that's what I find astonishing.....
It isn't that astonishing. He has control of Fox news and reaches his constituents via State TV. With Bill Barr intercepting the Mueller report he has an insider managing The Ministry of Propaganda, too. He achieved what every fascist dictator needs to achieve.
Any other country would not have tolerated the things in Trumps past and the things he did to win that election..... as previously stated he was refused entry into Australia because he is a criminal before he became President.

Some times the idea of liberal compromise goes something like this:
Lets punch you in the face
No thanks
How about we just compromise and just slap you in the face.
No thanks!
Conservatives wont compromise!
Well many conservatives have reached the point of just saying shove off.
Buddy, your party dominates all three branches of the government. You don’t need Democrats to support your agenda to make things happen. You don’t get to whine about liberals not compromising while Republicans are bending them over backwards and giving it to them repeatedly with Kavanaugh, the tax “reform,” and now the assault on reproductive rights.
I know snowflakes gonna whine and play victim but this is ridiculous.
