No problem at all slating him. Contrast that with Roy Moore, Scott Pruit, and the litany of Republicans who were defended to the hilt.

You seem to have forgotten the Democratic Part stood against the abolition of SLAVERY. and you seriously lay clam that "Democrats when a Democrat is found doing something illegal - that's awful " .. I dont recall many Democrats in the South saying slavery was awful... Typical leftist anti-Trumpers, they always draw a line in history and seem to think it only started when they say it did, when in reality the history has already been written and can never be changed.

In 2020 the gimmick is played out and for many the emperor has been shown to have no clothes, let alone having drained any swamps. His schtick might not come off quite as endearing second time around. The sole tangent has been to emphasise an economy that the last guy started (and whose laws trump has gleefully torn up). Plus trump has never had to beg to keep his job. It's one thing to say "only I know how to fix things", it's another to say "I'm still fixing it, honest".

In the current climate the Republicans are worse because they're the ones in power and Trump is President, in 2020 if the Democrats win they'll be the ones under the microscope. Each side protects their own, that's the way it is and always will be.

Trump accused world cup winner Rapinoe of disrespecting the country. Rapinoe scored the first goal today for the USA.

Trump accused world cup winner Rapinoe of disrespecting the country. Rapinoe scored the first goal today for the USA. What Rapinoe was disrespecting, of course, was Trump. In particular his anti-LGBT stance, as Rapinoe is lesbian. "Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team" - Trump, June 26th World Cup Winner 2019 and Golden Boot winner: Megan Rapinoe, an American Idol A smiling Emmanuel Macron just presented her with her trophy! So yet again, a true American Hero, a lesbian pro footballer lifts the World Cup for the USA and Trump is snarling at her, making her an object of hate. Incredible.

Would you have let the banks fail and implemented austerity as the economy was losing 800,000 jobs per month and per the SecTreas at the time, needed an 800 billion $ infusion in December 2008 to keep from seizing up? Remember that the tGOP had both houses of Congress from 2010 through 2016. So, who put those budgets through? Note that a big chunk of this deficit (and as we know, deficits don't matter to anyone, Republican or Democrat) came from paying for GWB's middle-east adventures on the books, rather than what he'd done Really the economy today is a false thing; it's driven by cheap money. Productivity hasn't gone up, and wages are stagnant, plus a lot of the jobs aren't great quality - better than unemployment, but do you urge kids to go to college so they can end up working the gig economy? Baristas and uber drivers?
