O well … "still a man hears …" Simply by not firing him he was condoning it. That is the nature of being the boss, if you do nothing when informed of wrong-doing you are tacitly accepting it. He accepted his resignation, he didn't demand it. He didn't state that whilst Pruitt may well have been doing a good job Trump admin must not only be, but be seen to be, above the level of the swamp.

I know that my support for President Donald J Trump is something several posters here dislike, but … that's the way it is. I have been asked to defend actions/statements/decisions of the POTUS … an impossible task … just as it is impossible to change individual beliefs. Now, do I condone each and everything the POTUS does? No. But then reading the postings here … several posters hate everything he does. I don't seem to recall too many folks giving credit where credit is due … example … the opposition party screamed about DACA. The POTUS did something. The opposition screamed about that … and offered no solution. The purpose was to only scream. Maybe someone could point out a post here where the President Donald J Trump haters gave him credit. Yes, I do say what I want to say … but disregarding the truth? Hardly.

[/size][/color] Two points - 1. why do you keep changing font and font size randomly if it is not c/p? 2. ref the above quote, why should there be posts giving him credit? I honestly, genuinely cannot think of one single thing that he has done that I would give him credit for. Any 'successes' are either spins based on his own lies, or possibly total coincidence, though to be honest I can't actually think of any fortuitous coincidences, only lies and spin. You can't even claim that he is, even by his own standards, really trying to make a success of being a president - he would need to act like a reasonably responsible adult to do that - you know, the ordinary things, do a day's work, not play golf at times when he should be working, construct coherent sentences, give a small bit of thought to what he is saying, even tell the truth about little things, so we might be persuaded to believe the bigger lies. He is not even a competent fool.

Fight fire with fire, it isn't ideal, but for my money there is a time to be idealistic and there is a time to be realistic. There needs to be checks put on this presidency. There has to be checks on every presidency and his own party which controls everything has shown zero appetite to do its job.

And as far as the 'hate speech' …. stirring up a crowd with venom to incite actions hardly qualifies for title of 'free speech'. And for the third time I must repeat myself in response to many of the previous comments … "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest …" Crowd size means nothing to how good a leader he is Nox and well you know it. How you seemingly willingly support this guy when it has been proven he has none of even the basic qualities to be even a basic world leader. Donald Trump will never be considered a good US President as even Nixon had some cop on about him.

(since I cannot yet see what comes out on the board, I think you should notice a font size change) Any response will be labeled as 'talking points' … which by the way is exactly how I feel about many of the anti posts here.
I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

And as far as "never be considered …" never is a long time, and yes you and the anti crowd never will. You brought up Richard M Nixon … he did end the war, he did go to China among other things. Watergate has been the opposition feeding frenzy for decades … we'll see how this current Russia schtuff last after it is debunked.

He is saying (kinda) that even without music or sport he is breaking records for attendance. This is of course not true, his attendances compared with EJ's crowd sizes does not even begin to compare, but who needs facts when you are on a roll, rambling.
