You could be forgiven for having a difficult time following all the players in the continuing saga that has engulfed Congressional committees, the president, the FBI, the NSA, Russia, the Clintons, former FBI Director Comey, WikiLeaks, the media, and who know how many others. The old baseball adage fits: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
Continuing the baseball metaphor, part of the problem is that it’s not entirely clear who is on whose team. Or for that matter, it’s not clear how many teams there are.
When one sits down to write a piece about this turmoil, one question that comes to mind is how much do potential readers already know, and how much time should be spent rehearsing information in an attempt to help clarify things rather than to obfuscate — something our politicians do well enough anyway.
So when we begin a piece with the assertion that Special Counsel Mueller might be accused of doing the very thing former FBI Director Comey accused President Trump of doing, do your eyes just glaze over, or is this all crystal clear to you?
We’ll try to straighten this out and clarify things for you, as well as hopefully explaining why this is important on page two.
Mueller lost his credibility…
How quickly can 30 useless Lawyers take turns being important, establish contracts to write books, spray perfume on a previous Administration, ignore the Clinton Foundation and bill over a $$$$$$ BILLION in fees and expenses with NOTHING to show for this activity but ambiguous justification ?!!!!
Just like how the sunlight or a crucifix being brandished in their faces makes a coven of vampires screech and cower, so too facts and honest debate make Trump supporters curse and yammer.
Antoinette- memes are bs, do you have any of your own thoughts?
Greg L- Reread your first sentence. It is by far the most honest and intelligent post I have seen from a Trump supporter and I have to admit it, I agree with you.
Rick- part of the problem.
Patricia- Make a real comment. Insults are a waste of time.
Mike- The great deal maker has dealt with stiff oppostion his whole career. Let’s see some Trump magic. Talk to the Ds. Fix the problem. Whining like a little$#%&!@*is not leadership.
Dennis- Why doesn’t Trump push it back together. He is either unwilling or unable to do so.
Edgar- Weak.
Gary- All of what I said is true. And here is more truth for you… America is the product of liberal policies, conservative policies, Democratic and Republican policies. America was built by Americans, who come in all varieties.
Lynda- Trump is responsible for his words and actions. He invited the Russian viper into his campaign and it has taken up residence in his administration. Our system of checks and balances is now functioning like an exterminator that will eradicate the lethal invader and if Trump is too close to the beast he will be eradicated also.
Janice- Thank you.
Ray- Repeating the Trump lie does not make it true.
James- I did not vote for Trump, but Trump is still my President. Do you agree? If he turns out to be serving Russian interests or the interests of his business, if he fails to fix healthcare and infrastructure, if he fails to advance the economy, if he undermines our standing in the world, etc. YES- then he fails me and every other American.
David- Lots of Rs and all Ds are saying that the Wall is not affordable. Mexico will not pay for it. The token construction across a ruined animal preserve is the only Wall you will ever get.
Kenneth- Weak. What do you stand for other than insulting people you disagree with?
Stanley- YES, I expect a President with control of Congress to accomplish something significant in the first 100 days, the first 6 months. This is the time when the President has the most leverage. Do you really think that the coming mid-term election year will be a better time for Trump to move his agenda forward?
Jean- So are the Koch Brothers and every lobby under the sun. What is required to make progress in this environment is a strong leader who can unite the nation and assemble legislative majorities. It also requires leadership that is not weakened with scandals.
Trump is not that leader.
No time to send his criminal$#%&!@*home
Waste of taxpayers’ money and time!
I’m sorry, I did not trust him from the get-go!
He needs to step down!
Christopher Shocklee, I am an American, not a Trnmper. I do not support Socialism in any form. I have a strong military background and know first hand that the same elitist socialist politicians, mostly democrats support and have promoted globalization. The VA hospitals have made some changes since President Trump’s cabinet member has been in place. For 30 + years, since NAFTA, our manufacturing and skilled labor jobs have left the US alot. President Trump has not even been in office for a year, and under our form of government, Congress needs to step up and do their jobs. It’s called the balance of power. 8 years of former President Obama contributed to the division of our country. I pray that you stop and think about what you are saying. Like it or not, President Trump is our President. Media Matters, an organization controlled by George soros contols the Mainstream media. He and many like him are powerful, rich globalists. We need to stop resistance between ourselves and open our minds to reality. I suggest Prague University and a civics course. I love my freedom and liberty. I fight against injustice, however, this is the time to get back to the foundation of what we stand for and respect those who have given so much for our freedom and liberty. I challenge you to do research and open your mind. I pray for truth and justice and Grace.
FIRE HIM
No Christopher Shocklee, Trump hasn’t failed
People like you who are following the liberal elitist agenda and the BS from the media, the Hollywood freaks in their gated homes, and believe that Obama was right in the damage he caused in our country. Obama stirred haye and discontent for 8 years both here and abroad. We deserve better, better than Obamacare, better than allowing Islamist who wants us dead filling our country a d welfare rolls, better than being illegal immigrants demanding what we and our children have worked for. Better than having the life of our president and his family threatened, better than unemployment thru the roof, better than riots in the streets and colleges. We deserve that the folks who voted for Trump get to see the injustices of Obama regime and the swamp of DC be over and done with
Find a candidate who is not a thief, liar, murderer instead of whining and a tinv cheated. I felt cheated for 8 years but I never shot anyone, turned over cars, burned buildings or wore a v****a hat. Suck it up a d avt like an American and an adult.
