I was distraught that would say "I don't trust Comey anymore than I trust the President at this point in time. In other words, so far as I'm concerned it's a draw until someone actually proves something." That makes no sense when the ex director of the FBI is testifying UNDER OATH and a compulsive liar is simply mouthing of and telling even more lie. I suppose you might be happy with a President who thinks he is still on "Celebrity Apprentice" instead of worrying about the country.
I know you are busy so will not go on but will share with you as a start an article from one of Trumps biographers...wish you safe travels but you sure do need to read a bit more on this guy.
"But the hearings did give us a vivid picture of something familiar — how Trump has adapted his trademark tactic of distraction and misdirection to fit his current circumstances. During the campaign, he used it to capture headlines and throw opponents off balance; now, instead of going off on immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims, the elite, etc., he's mining Russia-gate itself to keep our attention away from what's going on outside that Senate hearing room."
Given the negative and potentially illegal implications of ties between the administration and the Russian government, you might think that the President would do his best to draw attention away from the issue.
Indeed, he did maintain a rare silence during the hearing and for some hours afterward. But someone with the same name — Donald Trump, Jr. — kept up a steady stream of derogatory tweets while Comey spoke, and the next day, the President got back to trashing Comey, refuting things the former FBI director never said and continuing his own dance-of-the-seven-veils act regarding whether or not there are tapes of his conversations with the former FBI director.
In part, this is because of another iconic Trump trait: loudly and repeatedly declaring he’s the winner and his opponent the loser whenever he perceives a threat.
It reminded me of what happened back when Trump's first marriage hit the rocks in December 1989. It was a messy situation, involving a wife, a mistress, and three young children — the kind of thing most people would try to keep private, particularly if they were simultaneously facing a tsunami-size financial meltdown.
Not our President.
To build his super-luxury brand, he'd spent the ‘80s on a high-end buying spree that netted him an airline, a football team, the Plaza Hotel, Mar-a-Lago, three casinos, and the world's sixth-largest yacht — as well as put him nearly $1 billion in the red.
Then, just as the proverbial you-know-what was about to hit the fan, a mistress-wife dust-up occurred on the paparazzi-clogged Aspen ski slopes.
Trump’s parents were appalled and the kids were freaked out, but he gleefully exploited the headline-making potential of this domestic meltdown in a last-ditch effort to convince his creditors that he was too famous to be foreclosed.
Bankers had loaned money to him not because he was a prudent guy who hugged the shadows but because this was their brush with glitz and glamour, and he was more than willing to turn his own family melodrama into tabloid fodder that might help keep Ship Trump afloat.
Now, Trump is betting that once again the media and the public won’t be able to walk and chew gum at the same time — that is, to pay attention to both Russia-gate and the drastic shifts in government priorities and policies that are unfolding out of the limelight and will wreak havoc in the lives of tens of millions of Americans, including the supporters who put him in the White House last November."

I might add that your comments on the media are what he has planted in all his loyal followers head and it has no merit and his charges have never ever been specific at ANY TIME. His definition of FAKE NEWS is news he does not care for, and you guys buy into it. I am tired of hearing about the media being a cause of anything.... THEY REPORT WHAT HE DOES AND SAYS |
I will read what you just posted in its entirety as soon as I get a chance, but just wanted to respond to something quickly. My mistrust of the media started way before Trump was even a blip on the radar screen as far as a Presidential candidate. This goes back some time. It's just that in my opinion it has gotten much worse over the past 10 years or so because of their obvious bias regarding political parties, ideologies, and agendas. It's not reporting news and just stating facts anymore. It seems to have morphed into something else.
I don't disagree that Trump has his issues......surely he does, but the media messaging changed direction long before him. This is not new. I should not be able to determine outright by listening to the news whether they despise a candidate/President or think he/she is the next best thing since sliced bread. If that is obvious then they are not doing their job properly. That is like me treating my clients differently on the job because I like one client better than another. That is totally unprofessional. JMHO, which may not be worth much, but it's how I see things. And it's not because I was fed anything by someone else, it's what I see/hear with my own eyes/ears.
