@hightor,
Nothing compared to 93% negative coverage. The memes are only seen on the internet. The MSM spews its hate everyday for Trump. It is not even close.

as he goes out of his way to insult his opposition he'll continue to be mocked, slandered, and lampooned.

Trump is responding in kind. People that call people names cannot handle that. That fact is demonstrated right here on this forum. Trump has every right to insult them.

Impeachment Manager: Trump Just Confessed to Obstructing Congress

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he thought the Senate impeachment trial was going “very well” for him, noting that his administration has not provided congressional investigators with any of the material necessary to make their case.

Speaking to reporters from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump directly addressed the proceedings, saying he was happy with what he’d seen thus far.

“When we released that conversation, all hell broke out with the Democrats because they say, ‘wait a minute this is much different than [what] shifty [Rep. Adam] Schiff told us.’ So, we’re doing very well,” Trump said.

The president then weighed in on why he thought his legal team had been so successful, appearing to openly admit that he and his administration had actively prevented Congress from obtaining material evidence directly relevant to the impeachment proceedings.

“I got to watch enough – I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material,” he said.
ep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), one of the House impeachment managers tasked with arguing the case against Trump in the Senate, caught wind of Trump comments and immediately accused President Trump of confessing to and bragging about committing an impeachable offense.

“The second article of impeachment was for obstruction of Congress: covering up witnesses and documents from the American people,” Demings, a former law enforcement officer, wrote. “This morning the President not only confessed to it, he bragged about it: ‘Honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material.’”

More at law and Crime

Enough said.

Trump only confirmed his right to withhold information legally with his presidential powers. Powers that can only be challenged in court. If he wishes to gloat about the mistakes Democrats made by not taking him to court, more power to him.

Yes, that's why I posted them. It kind of difficult to post conversations I've heard or hateful posts which I never saved. If you really believe that Trump is being subjected to heavier criticism than other public figures did you ever consider that people really don't like or respect him?

He insults entire classes of people who are citizens of the country he was elected to rule. That may be his right but it's a stupid way to attempt to lead.

How about the attacks on his voters? Deplorables? Toothless? Stupid? Payback is a bitch.

Vastly improving the economy and reducing unemployment. Trade deals and securing the border is how he leads. Tax cuts and rising wages are more important than word games. And everyone is benefiting meaning "entire classes" too.

Let's attack Schiff for a change, not a PC song, a warning.

Wonder if Trump has heard this song?

Witch hunters always think it's a crime for the accused to have rights and exercise them.

Mr. Trump did not defy any court orders regarding the submission of evidence to the House witch hunters.

A agree with Hightor completely that banging on the President is an American past time. A tradition even.

Where I disagree is that I have yet to see Trump be the one to throw the first punch. I've never heard Trump come out of the blue with something like "Those damn Amish... What do they do to help America?"

I also think that Trump is a disrupter in politics. He has never had to run for other offices where he had to bite his tongue and play nice or else he'd not be elected. Instead, he leads with his mouth and doesn't feel that insulting people that have insulted him to be a bad thing.

The UN Smears Myanmar.

An article that explains the UN is in the tank for Islam. Buddhists and Hindus are the victims.
Quote:
The one-sided nature of Gambia’s account to the ICJ was by design. Gambia’s charge against Myanmar was backed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), an organization staging themselves as “the collective voice of the Muslim world.” The OIC “endeavors to safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world,” and has a permanent delegation to the United Nations. The OIC also has a history of refusing to name violent acts of terrorism committed in the name of Islam—while calling Islamophobia “the worst form of terrorism.”

The UN is useless in any quest for world peace.

Aljazzeera is owned by Qatar. This is Islamic propaganda with a few facts.

But didn't he start on Mexicans as soon as he stepped off the escalator?

Trump is different. That's one of the reasons people voted for him. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But stirring **** up is not really what I'm looking for in political leaders today. Chronic problems need to be addressed and impending ones need to be prepared for instead of endlessly rehashing divisive social controversies for which we have no solution.

No. He only criticized the ones who are violent criminals.

Wrong, they are political like everything else. Which means there is a solution. We just don't have the will to arrive at one. Keeping people divided helps Democrats.

North Korea? Sorted.

China trade imbalance? Impasse sorted.

Rising unemployment? A thing of the past.

Iran's insurgency in Iraq? Nailed in one hit.

Rampant insurgency from Mexico? Wall being built now.

Local industries being offshored? Tariffs to support local industry.

@hightor,
Well, he's not a thinker he's a jealous insecure man who feels the need to dominate all he can see. He's humorless, he doesn't make jokes, he casts aspersions, he denigrates everybody.....He cannot stand up to the Saudis and describes white hate groups as having fine people.

He scrupulously avoids allowing any thing he writes, or notes on his talks with foreign governments entered into the archives. I worked at a significantly lower level for DOD, yet every report I wrote, every NIE I contributed to, all my notes of meetings are all archived. Not because I was the President but because I was performing duties that had to be tracked for posterity.

If anyone is interested in how this material is handled, then declassified....log into NSA.gov, then click on declassified reports....I've looked at a ton of info on the Korean War and especially the Viet Nam war. It's open to the public, in other words, it's our history....You don't need to know the secret handshake to read those documents. Check it out, these docs are fascinating.

Trump and his complicit enablers will prevent us/future generations to ever examine how this corrupt regime actually operated.

@glitterbag,
How ironic is your post?

It reads like a who's who describing the Obama/Clinton years of subterfuge and avoidance of protocol.

Private server in the basement to hide activities from security personel? Check.

Private server allowed to be hacked by foreigners for personal gain? Check.

Got busted with said server, and faced an inquest about it? Check.

Used a professional team to destroy evidence of the contents on the server? Check.

I could go on and on and on, but her narcissism is on the personal record (youtube) for all to access, fortunately. Much like yours, here.

@Builder,
Wow, what a pile of lies......but lets pretend it was true (it isn't but lets pretend)

So, Trump can violate any law, destroy other peoples reputations on a whim, completely piss all over our constitution because, because, because, a crime may have been committed somewhere else by someone. You should worry about your own country.

By the way, my post had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama......I was talking about a narcissist who has no respect for our laws or history. I can understand you have no interest in US History, and we both know why...but for Christs sake before you go off on a tear,,,,,,,,,,,never mind, I don't give a flying fu%k what you think about anything ........
