President Trump kept his promise to:

prevent Hillary from being President
place Judge Gorsuch on the Supreme Court

There are many more things, but these two are a big deal.


100% Correct, every day I wake up and I am thankful that the POS Hillary is not in the White House!

He's also against the electoral college, which has so far, saved the country.

Getting Gorsuch was the most important thing for me. I was amazed the Senate was able to hold off Garland. Lower courts are being filled as well. Everthing else is gravy. So glad we dodged Hillary.

They are obsessed. Most, if not all, do not recognize that they are obsessed.

And no one proposes that obsessions are part and parcel of a healthy psychological profile.

Wow, that came out of left field. Or did I miss something this past week?

Edit: Never mind. Saw the thread on this event.

Thought now.

Finding a non-obsessed democrat is as difficult as finding bananas in the former Soviet Union.

BTW: Megan Kelly's NBC show aired its first week last week, and it was a total, complete bomb. Here is an article if you want details. This nasty woman scored big $$$ from stupid NBC, but by next year this time we'll be saying, "Whatever happened to that Kelly-what's-her-name, the nasty bimbo who went after Trump?"

Mollie Hemingway gave a speech at Hillsdale College recently which is an excellent summary of the Trump-Russian cintroversy. Too long to post, it will be found here.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Wow, liberals are losing their minds over what he said about the mayor. The horror of calling it how it is Wink

Last night NBC news showed the Mayor in Puerto Rico standing in front of tons of supplies provided by the USA ripping Trump for not doing more and wondering where the military and other assistance was, then followed it by showing Navy and Marine helicopters landing in remote areas with supplies. That was hard to reconcile.

It's pretty clear there isn't much standing on that island, the infrastructure is in ruin, and most likely first responders rendered ineffective. But the mayor needs to understand that with that level of damage the President cannot sign a paper and provide instant food water and shelter for all in hours. The response to New Orleans took weeks, it wasn't on an island, and it was proclaimed a concerted and successful effort even though clearly flawed.

Conversely the President needs to understand that mayor is in a nightmare, is screaming for help, and acting a bit childish. Responding in kind is not appropriate. Trump should have taken the high road, held a press conference, and laid out the plan, efforts and challenges and thus debunking and diffusing the event instead of inflaming it further.

a contrast in 2 reports

JALLEN posted a link above to a report by Mollie Hemingway. It definitely is a good read.

Then contrast that report to this one:

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics...ed/story?id=50186443

Special counsel Robert Mueller has assembled a team of 16 seasoned prosecutors

Mueller has a powerhouse team of experienced prosecutors (several of whom were financial supporters of DEMs, including Clinton and Obama).

"In addition to a squad of agents from the FBI and the IRS, Mueller has 16 attorneys on staff, a spokesperson for Special Counsel Robert Mueller confirmed to ABC News, but only 14 of them have been identified publicly."

Mueller is investigating Manafort back to 2006 (11 years ago).

FBI agents picked the lock to Manafort's home and entered guns drawn while Manafort and his wife were sleeping.

Contrast that approach to the Clinton email / Clinton Foundation investigations.

This team of prosecutor heavies is going to come w a bunch of things "to prosecute", but it continues to look like a major witch hunt.

I disagree. He wasn't about to have it become a moment like New Orleans where the mayor gets on a podium and starts slamming him. He spiked her serve right back over the net. Liberals are losing their minds over it, which is an added bonus. Unfortunately, we don't live in an environment where laying out the truth makes a difference anymore. The only thing that gets through is blunt truth.
