We are here discussing the unconstitutional and unamerican behavior of Trump. Trump is terrible and we have ever mounting proof of it. Play ball with us, do a favor for us, and then you get our defense support. That's what just happened. Interestingly for a guy who doesn't want to be seen as in bed with the Russians was willing to toss Ukraine under the bus, a country that Russia invaded and illegal holds territory in.

WARNING: LONG POST She’s no more wishy washy than most politicians and I didn’t really start paying attention to the news and such until Bush Jr. My hang up is in hind sight Iraq didn’t have a solid foundation but we went in anyway. Then we have the Fast and Furious operation along with Lois Learner and the IRS issue. We pull out of Iraq in a pretty quick manner adding to a power vacuum filled by ISIS, described as “JV”. Bin Laden is killed and it’s leaked which team did it for no reason. We had the NSA doing illegal stuff and torture of detainees. These issues span two presidencies and both parties. HRC vs Trump specifically. He appeared as something on the outside from the above. Not a continuation of what came before. My last thoughts of her as I have stated before is the classified emails and Benghazi. More importantly is Benghazi. Between her and Obama they failed to take the intel at hand and make a common sense decision on security. Four families lost someone as a result of bad decision making and indirectly from an ISIS filled power vacuum in the region. Not to mention the training and supplying of supposed moderates. Sorry for how long this is. We all have our particulars we give more attention to when it comes to politics. Between the last two administrations it seems like they didn’t give much thought to life and death decisions. Trump hasn’t started any new wars and at least got KJU to meet. Where that goes I don’t know but I’m willing to reserve final judgement until his term is done.

Not sure I said that, but at least I agree. And no forward progress has been make with regard to KJU, unless you mean more missile testing since the visit. I’m almost of the mind that Trump only went to visit him because he wanted to see how a truly successful totalitarian dictator went about his business. Edited September 28, 2019 by SwampD

LGR4GM Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Do you support Trump or the Constitution it is that simple. And yes, it is now one or the other. This is the presidents personal lawyer saying this. We are in a constitutional crisis. The House Intel Committee is not a joke but here is a guy saying just that and I bet you money that Trump thinks the same. Quote Asked if he was concerned he would be subpoenaed by the House, Giuliani laughed. "I consider them a joke. A sad joke. They have no legitimacy. I would think of challenging their subpoena on the grounds that they're not a legitimate committee," Giuliani said. Edited September 30, 2019 by LGR4GM

He's a Republican where it matters most. He appoints bible thumping conservatives to the courts as he promised. He's also pro tax cut, anti business regulations, anti-environment and anti-immigrant. He's always ready to give the military a blank check, and he's not exactly anti-gun in any way that matters. So how is he not a conservative, especially in the modern sense? Because of deficit spending or something? Republicans/Conservatives don't give the debt any more than lip service unless a Democrat is in the White House, so I don't see how that even applies.
