Here’s a quick thought experiment: Can you imagine Chris Dodd, Evan Bayh and Byron Dorgan saying in 2009 that Barack Obama was debasing the country? Or Fred Thompson, Phil Gramm and Jesse Helms saying in 2001 that George W. Bush needed adult day care? Or George Mitchell, Sam Nunn and David Boren going on CNN in 1993 to call Bill Clinton a congenital liar?

Of course not. In fact, it’s inconceivable. As Flake said yesterday, this is not normal. None of it: not Trump’s behavior, nor the reaction to it.

That’s why the mainstream media cannot cover the back-and-forth like a remake of “Mean Girls.” It’s so much more than just another Trump Twitter feud. Objectively, this is an extraordinary moment in our nation’s history.

The world is watching.

A post this morning from Rubicon who is hypocritical at best mentions policy.

Would be great if Trump would allow that.

He makes this daily all about HIM.

McCain, Flake and Corker...those 3 votes could control congress if they wished. Trump cares nothing at all about this country or any policy.

He is all about himself and listening to the presser yesterday was so disturbing on so many levels.

We are in the cross hairs of history and the world, not just our country, watches in horror.

OK rocky...YOU tell us how GREAT a system is that allows 3 men to control 535...supposed "independent" representatives of their home district.

I'll wait...

Will I have to wait as long as I have been waiting for you to show me equality of the races? Equality of the sexes?

Be the "better man" rocky...show me what I'm missing.

You're just an ignorant b!tch with a attitude. There IS NO explaining WHY 3 men can control congress. Except corruption. You're admitting they're TOLD how to vote.

Hate the messenger rocky...ignore the truth...it's what you do.

I've been called the king of analogies...the MOST astute...right here in this forum...do you even understand those words? I think I understand more than you do.

All anybody need do to get a real time feel for the direction we are headed is to watch one of the WH press conferences.

Yesterday for example, almost exclusively all the media grunts pursued comments made by Corker and Flake. No substance. Just focus on anything that has a negative slant.
Not one thing pertinent to the needs of the American people was asked.

They only focused on the anti Trump agenda like the pre programmed lemmings caliber that they are.

Yes we are marking a time in history. There is a person in the WH who is not of the mind to follow suit and play politics instead of doing their job.

Like it or not, Trump was elected by voters who are sick and tired of the establishment.
And Trump now has the losing party's 24/7 bitching about anything and everything that is not democrat. Then there is the establishment like the McCains, Mc Connels, Corker, Flake, Pelosi, Shummer, Waters that are desperate to keep their job and disrupt and disrespect we the people in the process.

And the icing on the cake? Of course the main stream media. These people are just another link in the establishment chain as well as supporters of the democratic party.

So yes we are at a turning point in history. Will there be a change that assures America continues to be what it's past has been all about. Or will it continue to degrade and slide lower on the scale of accomplishment by and for the American people and the world at large.

Some how or another the democrats, the establishment (both parties) and the media will have to acknowledge they got it wrong. They had Clinton anointed and crowned for months, predicting whole sale landslide victory last November. They were and continue to remain in shock and disbelief that they got it wrong....that they lost the election.

Like it or not. Trump is the figure head for Americans that are sick and tired of the business as usual politics by the establishment.

It is acknowledged the above will draw the same usual disparaging commentary from the usual FEW!

They can go into pretty much any town and see how America is changing. They can see the "seediness" creeping in. The changing demographic.

It's a liberal coup. That's what's happening.

Yes...we ARE making history...for the 1st time EVER...America is a minority majority. Your jaw is going to drop when the next census comes out.

The establishment will win. This is what the coup is all about. THEY have the numbers and they have the motivation.

The media ensures we remain divided. Always close to a 50:50 split...so we don't unite against them...the establishment.

Unless America becomes WHITE again...it WILL continue its slide...into Mexico II.

Yes..they got it wrong...you got it wrong...there is NO gender/race equality and forcing it IS dragging us down. Encouraging them to breed by paying them up to $60,000 a year to drink and screw...will NOT make America great again.

It doesn't matter...you must believe in equality like Christians believe in Jesus...or you have to go.

Look how they batter me and all I do is relay the truth.

Nobody refutes my facts...only my ideas on why the facts are what they are.

Everyone understands that the people who voted for Trump are "sick and tired of the establishment". The problem is, the people who fell for Trump think he will change things, but: A. He does not have the ability to change things, and B. He has no real interest in changing things.

Don't believe me? For point A, Congress makes all the laws, not the President. Since Trump has alienated at least 8 members of Congress, and he needs at least 7 of those members to pass any of his agenda, Congress will simply bypass Trump and write the laws any way they want to.

For point B, look at the people Trump has appointed to his cabinet. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mnuchin, was known as "Mr. Foreclosure" when he worked at Goldman Sachs. (Remember Trump railing against Goldman Sachs?) The Secretary of Education, DeVos, never stepped into a public school in her life, but she gave Trump's campaign $200 million. The Secretary of Health had to resign because he spent a million taxpayer dollars in 3 months on charter jets to take him on vacations. The Energy Secretary once wanted to dismantle the entire department and seemed unaware that the department controls our nukes.

Trump, as a former TV star, understood and took advantage that the power of personality and easy answers to complex questions would appeal to people who are used to hour long TV shows.

Let me clarify mellin... Good post by the way!

WHITE people who voted for Trump were either staunch Rs and would have voted for papa smurf if they had run him...or those who wanted change.

Very good...did you read that or are those your words? He CANNOT "really" change things because he is simply a talking head. What the liberals want is just a different talking head who reads words they want to hear...while they loot like this one and all the rest have. They want to be president because they want to be royalty and treated that way. They do as told for the perks they enjoy. Trump WANTS to be taken seriously by "old money".

Of course they will. And they'll continue to pass laws that should be a page long at most...but are 3,000 pages long to accommodate all the "payback" to campaign contributors.

ALL presidencies are payback to friends. That's what they do. The important positions are filled with business insiders who loot the treasury.

That's all an election is...a popularity contest between corrupt crooks. They're ALL evil and thinking you picked the lesser is wrong. You still picked evil...you just like the public facade more. He fooled you better.

Again...we clash...call each other names...but for me...that's just business. Again...good post.

Now...lets talk HONESTLY about gender and race.

I watched it. It was tiring. The media trying to get answers.

The WH told so many lies and spent so much energy on attacking

You and your white nationalist, not surprisingly keep attacking the free press, who does their job...they try to get the truth

Guess what..when the President of the United States tells one lie after another...continuing to use these lies to attack, and the media KNOWS they are being lied to...this is the resukt.

Why do you people NEVER EVER EVER hear the lies. Why do you people just simply look for a way to defend this person.

Is the truth that hard to accept. Are you just "in love" with lying.

Not sure how many times, but I think it was three...that Sanders simply lied on behalf of the President while attacking Corker.

These people could care less about my country....for them, and she alluded to it twice,..it is all about winning the verbal battles.

WE WON, YOU LOST is the prevailing thing with your group. CERTAINLY NOT OUR COUNTRY.
When ANY PRESIDENT LIES...WHEN ANY ORESIDENT IS LAUNCHING ATTACKS ON LIES, YES..the media stands up for the citizens of the country.

You call it anti Trump....most call it a search for the truth.

When do you put the country first ?

Then, of course the media reports his lies and You, without ever checking, cal them liars. So tiresome...thank God for the media...we are in crisis

I have no idea where you live, but since I realized that 98% of those on here maligning free press, making unfounded and unsubstantiated claims agains the media and any individual who might question the lies they tell, that you are part and parcel of this group of extremist that make up the alt right white nationalist group.

Now, you have the job it seems to go after blacks and keep them free to attack the media and insure that Trump is defended at all costs.

I know that many of them live in The Villages, which in itself is quite scary, but I also know you do not. So, tell your leaders, sign in at Alex Jones or wherever you report, that you have to leave.

PLEASE just go back to wherever you came from.

The others that live here do a fine job on those who are not white...they are more subtle than you for sure, but their message is not different than yours.

I am well aware of truth and while most on here may dislike me for being persistent, I have always suppliedd facts to support my claims of our White House lying. I have always asked, AND NEVER DO RECEIVE, for proof of your group on here to supply some kind of back up for their many accusations, especially the easy ones if there were any...the media. They cannot and do not EVER respond.

So, You and your group on here can bury as best you can about the lying from out Oval Office...you can say it is tiresome to hear it....THAT ALONE IS DAMNING THAT I AM TOLD THAT....you can say whatever you want....WHAT I want to hear is one single piece of evidence that the media is lying...they simply report what he says.

And you always do your job for them...you say.....you dont care about Trump...then go into your immature tired little tirade about how we all should worry about anyone not white..do not bother please.

You and the others want to discuss POLITICS....lets have a go. You and yours always telling people how we are absorbed with Trump.....HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES..HE SPEAKS FOR ALL OF US ALL OVER THE WORLD.

You are asking me and many others to just keep quiet while he totally and completely steps up and tells lie after lie...don t think so.

"President Donald Trump tweeted 75 words about Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker on Tuesday morning, saying at least two things that aren't true and two more that are debatable."

Donald Trump'''s Twitter Attacks on Bob Corker, Fact Checked | Time.com (http://time.com/4994789/donald-trump-twitter-bob-corker/)

"Trump has repeatedly peddled this line about his refusal to grant Corker an endorsement, while Corker has repeatedly said Trump begged him to run for reelection—and offered his endorsement if Corker did so. Who to believe? The guy who's still going around saying that "we're the highest taxed nation in the world" while pitching his tax plan, despite the fact that everyone and their brother has found we're nowhere close? Corker says Trump is "an untruthful president," which still seems generous. Corker is hiding behind the (debatable) notion he does not use the word "liar," but at least he's saying something."

No comment on the usual your wrong dialogue.

Somehow some of you have a formula of what constitutes what depending on whether a person agrees with your position.....or not.

As for telling me to put my country first you are so far out of line it is actually nauseating. You have no idea who you are talking to or about. The priority is to dismiss, denigrate then insult those who do not line up with your views.

This is what I posted in the thread "Where Is The Collective American Conscience". the OP included a photo of Trump in a Nazi uniform, an allegation that is both overboard and hateful.

"There is definitely something happening in this nation when people have more of a fixation on a political figure rather than on policy. Oh yes, its called Trump Derangement Syndrome which causes fatal flaws in otherwise cognitive thinking and logical expression.

I have taken the road which leads to focusing on policy and ignoring all the political rhetoric and unnecessary emotional outbursts coming from both sides of the aisle. I have taken the road that causes me to write my congressman and senators demanding results.

Let me repeat, I said "outbursts from both sides of the aisle".

The above-stated post from someone I cannot identify includes in his/her answer " A post this morning from Rubicon who is hypocritical at best mentions policy."

My comments speak to my mind and my intent and I see no need to defend myself.

Rather I would deduce from the above-stated that this unidentified poster not only as a bad case of

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

S/he also has a bad case of

I know EXACTLY AND WITHOUT A DOUBT of what I speak.

You denigrate the media; you call them liars; you contend they manufacture stories. I contend with 100% confidence that you are wrong, not only wrong, you are just saying things, none with any substantiation at all.

You call my posts and others anti Trump. How about you begin to see them for what they are. Since Trump each day tells lies, the posts from me are great concern that our President is such a pathological liars and felonious accuser.

You also see, not ant Trump posts, but also great concern that you and others DO NOT CARE IF HE DECEIVES AND LIES.

So many examples..calling a USA examination of a foreign country interfering in our election...this investigation did not begin to focus on HIM. He makes it so, but I know you know it is not a hoax and the results should be honored by all Americans, but not so with you, your fellows on here or Trump.

If you are so comfortable with a President of our country, of any party, any name just chronically lying and accusing with never any substantiation or remorse when he is routinely shown 100% wrong.

You cannot be putting your country first...it is impossible, while supporting a liar in the White House. Flat out impossible. Your group, your merry band of folks who feel the media just makes up stories are flat out delusional. To fanatically support a lying, dishonest person in the WH In any language can only be construed as supporting him before the country.

Support your President, absolutely. UNTIL he lies to me and does it each and every day.

The above-stated post from someone I cannot identify includes in his/her answer " A post this morning from Rubicon who is hypocritical at best mentions policy."

My comments speak to my mind and my intent and I see no need to defend myself.

Rather I would deduce from the above-stated that this unidentified poster not only as a bad case of

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

S/he also has a bad case of

RUBICON DERANGEMENT SYNDROME:D

Nope...read your posts, and point out your lies and hypocrisy. You cannot defend, so you give me a syndrome.

My syndrome is a President who lies always. My syndrome are people like you who simply accept it. My syndrome is people like you who defend him personally. My syndrome is people like you who blame everyone on the planet for his lying. My syndrome is saying the media lies and is anti Trump because they report Accuretly his words and actions.

You always blame others. Your condemnation of groups to defend is legendary. Your belief that you are above us all is known. Mostly, never ever even acknowledging Trump lies is unsettling and to condone Presidential lies cannot ever be construed as patriotic

It has finally sunk in with me, that people like Rubi have long ago abandoned any ethics/integrity/morality that they claim to have had...and have instead chosen to blindly support the most morally and ethically bereft POTUS in history.

While they may try to hide behind false protestations of "I just like Trump's policies," what they are really doing of course is allowing all of their pent up bigotry, racism, misogyny and ugliness...to finally see the light of day.

In some respects, it has actually been beneficial to see a validation of my opinion that so many of the rabid Trump supporters voted for him...because they basically hated Hillary more than they love this country.

While on one hand it's a real downer to watch how many Un-American citizens we have in this great nation (and especially in TV) throwing off any pretense on whether country or political party is more important to them...at least there is no longer a question as to where their true loyalty lies.

While I don't agree with a lot of the political positions McCain, Corker, Flake, Bush, Etc., Etc. have...I do admire their personal integrity.

Particularly since our national integrity...is under direct assault by Trump and his cultists.

What we are going through right now is not unlike the McCarthy era (albeit 100 times worse), whereby strong and ethical individuals stood by for such a long period...and became lemmings lest they 'buck' the establishment.

The really ironic part of course, is that Trump thinks he's the one trying to "drain the swamp/establishment," when in fact...he and his cultists are actually digging a much larger/deeper/darker/uglier swamp. :ohdear:

I know EXACTLY AND WITHOUT A DOUBT of what I speak.

You denigrate the media; you call them liars; you contend they manufacture stories. I contend with 100% confidence that you are wrong, not only wrong, you are just saying things, none with any substantiation at all.

You call my posts and others anti Trump. How about you begin to see them for what they are. Since Trump each day tells lies, the posts from me are great concern that our President is such a pathological liars and felonious accuser.

You also see, not ant Trump posts, but also great concern that you and others DO NOT CARE IF HE DECEIVES AND LIES.

So many examples..calling a USA examination of a foreign country interfering in our election...this investigation did not begin to focus on HIM. He makes it so, but I know you know it is not a hoax and the results should be honored by all Americans, but not so with you, your fellows on here or Trump.

If you are so comfortable with a President of our country, of any party, any name just chronically lying and accusing with never any substantiation or remorse when he is routinely shown 100% wrong.

You cannot be putting your country first...it is impossible, while supporting a liar in the White House. Flat out impossible. Your group, your merry band of folks who feel the media just makes up stories are flat out delusional. To fanatically support a lying, dishonest person in the WH In any language can only be construed as supporting him before the country.

Support your President, absolutely. UNTIL he lies to me and does it each and every day.

It is almost amusing to continue to wait for the most recent re-stating of what another said....when they did not.
Also the convenient massaging and re-defining of what constitutes support.

Very consistent.

The go no go gauge being used is pretty obvious. Either agree with your position or there is a problem.

Moving from somewhat amusing to complete waste of time.

Ifyou do not acknowledge lying by the President of the United States or are silent in the chronic repition of lying from our oval office then you are complicit and support it..

It can be nothing but support.

If you have children or grandchildren, you have delivered that simple message, only not involving the President.

If you continue to damn someone, say the media, with no support, then ehat do we say. That also is a simple message learned early.

You may conclude what ever you will and say what ever you will.

But you are not entitled to conclude what you THINK or WANT others words to say or mean.

I am getting off this merry go round.....it is like pulling the string in the dolls neck....the message never changes....time to hit the I button.

As Gracie said last week..."then we can talk about what we want"

I get it. I got it last week. Alt right white nationalist's live here. You won......I think as far as this forum, America lost.

You have that right.....you love this man. I wish you all well. Adore at his altar, demonize everyone else. You have that right. In your world, it appears if you disagree with HIM, you are to blame, and will be marginalized.

Now, the sickos in your little band can do the obscene bit, or the racial bit. You have quite a crew.

So you see, the pres’dent is a perfect role model for children because he’s teaching us bettr ways to spel words AND, along with the first lady, showing us that bullying is totally unacceptable, unless it’s directed at a sitting U.S. senator who criticizes him or a Gold Star family member who criticizes him or a pope who criticizes him or a woman who criticizes him or a journalist who writes something he doesn’t like or a business leader who criticizes him or a former president who criticizes him or a black person who criticizes him or a world leader who criticizes him or a U.S. general who criticizes him or a celebrity who criticizes him or the mayor of a hurricane-ravaged city who criticizes him or a late-night television show host who criticizes him or a former secretary of defense who criticizes him or anyone who criticizes him."

For point B, look at the people Trump has appointed to his cabinet. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mnuchin, was known as "Mr. Foreclosure" when he worked at Goldman Sachs. (Remember Trump railing against Goldman Sachs?) The Secretary of Education, DeVos, never stepped into a public school in her life, but she gave Trump's campaign $200 million. The Secretary of Health had to resign because he spent a million taxpayer dollars in 3 months on charter jets to take him on vacations. The Energy Secretary once wanted to dismantle the entire department and seemed unaware that the department controls our nukes.

Trump, as a former TV star, understood and took advantage that the power of personality and easy answers to complex questions would appeal to people who are used to hour long TV shows.



You could shout this to the sky, and Trumpers won’t hear you you or agree. They are the intended audience of the orange Pied Piper, and all they can hear is his yapping as the unvarnished truth.

Yes it is...it's a female/minority/liberal/democratic coup.

your right a white guy replaced Obama, a woman didn't ascend and gays feel threatened that's what this is all about. another way of saying it is this is about identity politics. Once we had shared values that kept a lid on the craziness going on to day. Shared values are non-existent

I expect my detractors to make spurious comments that this makes me a bigot, etc but I am not talking about PEOPLE I am talking about IDEOLOGY
