QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:32 AM) Wait so now Republicans are back to caring about the source of leaks, and the Democrats only caring about the information in the leaks? Damn, I can't keep up with the flipflops. Both parties are incredibly hypocritical around their position on leaks. No doubt.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Sure, parts are. But if you lived through Nixon's last year it was a similarly f***ed up, what do we do now, type experience. Of course Nixon had an insane final year but we were simply dealing with criminal behavior. With this guy, it's surreal. He cannot even answer a straightforward question. It's almost as if we grabbed some random, angry, old man from someone's basement with a 7th-grade level education and asked him to be our president.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) I think there are a huge number of people out there who have tuned out Washington over the years and love that he's not traditional, regardless of whether he lies or does un-Presidential things. It's "different" and that's enough to like it. I also tend to think that older people have been through previous disasters in the Presidency like Nixon and Carter and this isn't really foreign to them. Anyone 40 and younger has had a pretty "normal" presidential experience, so the abrupt change is more jarring. What we're seeing is unprecedented. You cannot compare the incompetency to Nixon or Carter.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:02 AM) Yeah, Drumpf will not be the death of a party. He's very much separate in key ways. Interesting how he ran as a non-establishment Republican but now relies on the party to shield him from scandal.

I wouldn't shed a tear if the orangutan had a heart attack or something.

Remember when Howard Dean was disqualified to be President because he decided to scream out a strange yelp? Good times.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) We're officially kicking off the 2020 campaign on Saturday, so no more appointments for Drumpf! It would not be fair to our next president if the lame duck actively campaigning was able to fill the seat. I agree that we should wait until the election results are in.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) I just... I don't know. That press conference. How can anyone watch that and say with a straight face they think this guy is capable of doing the job? The scary thing is that most of his supporters probably think that was a great performance.

You guys and your fake news. Haven't you heard? Trump is winning so hard that many are saying he's had the most successful first month in presidential history.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 06:50 PM) Drumpf admin arrests its first DREAMer. Expect more immigration crackdowns in the future. https://t.co/IDbXnbG0Hq Awesome! That's one less coal mining job that illegals can claim. *sigh*

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) I like that greg's post is literally one post after a Republican Senator openly asks why he would ever investigate a fellow Republican.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 01:39 PM) Then why haven't they started formal impeachment proceedings? Get on with it. The republicans control both the House and Senate so there's almost no chance that they'd initiate it. How do you not know this?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) Subscribed. I assume you're already subscribed to Pod Save America. Finally got around to checking this one out. Good stuff.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 01:44 PM) One thing Drumpf's managed to highlight in only three short weeks is that our oversight system is woefully inadequate if it doesn't function at all if Congress and the President are the same party, which appears to be the case. Really need some sort of permanent independent oversight system, or a way for the minority in the House to still be able to force legitimate investigations and committees to happen. If Clinton had done 1/10th of what Drumpf's already done, Republicans would (rightfully) be hounding her to the ends of the Earth with a never-ending series of House investigations. They're probably trying to restart investigations into Benghazi and the email server right now. Don't have to time to look into any of this new stuff.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) I'll take this one for Greg.. i havent heard anything about those topics but aside from what you say it seems like things are OK just wish Ventura would have run. that would have been fun. You forgot to add a random question to the board about Chelsea Clinton and also remind everyone that you didn't vote for either of the 2 major candidates.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 04:29 AM) Drumpf discussed matters of national security regarding North Korea this weekend in front of civilians at Mar A Lago. Must be more of these great things Brett was talking about QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 08:35 AM) While I will generally push back against the "save your energy for the important things" takes, this is one of those things that should really be taken seriously and pushed back on in a sustained and universal way. But I think this one requires universal dem official action vs. organic/grassroots stuff. Well at least he didn't share this confidential information over a private email server.

The guy who has avoided paying taxes his entire life and defrauded so many with his so-called "university" somehow isn't the illegal. The hard working people who would love to be able to pay taxes and participate in our society are.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) At least one month in we've reached a point where no one save coal miners and brett take this f***ing clown seriously. As I posted earlier, 51% of his supporters believe in the Bowling Green Massacre lie. We're not dealing with rational people.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) Yup, this election was the boomers' final "f*** you, get off my lawn" to the future that's passed them by. Don't discount all the kids who were brainwashed by their Boomer parents who then turned around and brainwashed their kids. And I feel that it's mostly a rural/exurban vs. urban/suburban dynamic in play where generational impacts may not be as pronounced going forward.

Is it just me or does our so-called President's body language already show signs of exhaustion and low energy? Not sure how he can make it to 2020. Edit: Sad!

51% of Trump supporters believe the Bowling Green Massacre occurred. We are living in bizarro world.

Not sure why folks continue to feed deliberately obtuse trolls. *shrugs*

Everyone is raving about the premier for Legion. Will check it out over the weekend.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 8, 2017 -> 02:53 PM) http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/08/news/compa...anka/index.html Here we go...using official POTUS account to go after Nordstrom about selling Ivanka's fashion/jewelry line. What a petty and pathetic man. I'd laugh if this wasn't so depressing.
