B..B..But Russia!.....

When you post a link to a YouTube video, please also include the title of the piece.

In my humble opinion Trump won because people forgot about the House and Senate and thought Mr. Trump could end corruption.

There is no way in hell people like Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Shummer, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnel, etc. are going to start putting the Nation's interests ahead of their own.

Members of the House of Representatives have long ago abandoned representing the people that put them in office.

The Senate was supposed to be chosen by State legislators to represent the state. Unfortunately politicians who did not want their access to the gravy train dependent upon the legislators of their own state passed the 17th Amendment which basically took a gigantic crap on the desires of the authors of the Constitution.

Whenever and wherever you awake from sleeping; just be very thankful that the political idiots have not blown this planet up yet!!

The Constitution's position is very simple: He is your president -- stooge or no -- until and unless he is convicted by trial in the US Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors after impeachment by the US House of Representatives.


All else is irrelevant.

History lesson: Bill Clinton was impeached. He was not convicted. He was thus always president from Jan. 1993 to Jan., 2001.

Yes please, +1, :thumbsup:, etc, etc...

The bottom line is: "Hillary Clinton lost, and lost badly." Even her gambit with the Electoral College turned into another slap in her face as six unfaithful votes went against her. :eek:

No one seriously believed, nor now believes, that the Russians had anything whatsoever to do with it. (Let alone "Vladimir Putin, personally.")

The corruption of both political parties has everything to do with it. I think that the biggest reason why people elected Trump, and why he "trumped" every would-be Republican rival, is that people perceived that he does not come from the inbred political-party cesspool.

Whether he does or doesn't remains to be seen.

The "mainstream media" sees The End Of The World As We Know It.™ But maybe, it's just the end of the world as they know it, and maybe that's a very good thing.

We shall see.™

High crimes and misdemeanors is not really defined by the Constitution. At least that is what the media types were saying when they were discussing if then President Clinton's actions could be classified as either a high crime or a misdemeanor.

If memory serves Dennis Kuchinic (sp) put forth several requests that George W. Bush be impeached. They all were "referred to committee" and were never discussed again.

By the end of 2017 " the punditry " will be claiming that Trump is an Israeli stooge rather than a Russian stooge!!!!

Sorry, more RT stuff....

Blaming Putin
Russia Card

I do actually think the Dems are trying to find any other reason, other than the fact that they ended up with a shittier candidate than Trump, and as stated from Jimmy Dore - they(voters) would rather get an outsider, than Clinton. Nah, the Russians did it! They hacked us.........somehow....

Well, one thing to always remember about the US Presidency is that "the honeymoon doesn't last long." Donald Trump does not really represent any "established political party," and he took a calculated risk by running as a Republican. There's really not much difference today between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but there seems to be very considerable differences between both of them and Donald Trump. Thus, he will face enemies even among his friends ... enemies who know DC extremely well. He now has a Board of Directors with over 600 members, most of them very corrupt and having unlimited terms. Some of those people have been in Congress for more than 30 years. None of those people have to do anything whatsoever that the President says.

(Incidentally, it was none other than George Washington who complained that "I can make the Army do anything, but the Congress nothing at all." And there were people in the Government at that time who quietly proposed staging a bloodless coup and installing him as King, this being a much more familiar-to-them structure of Government. But George himself was vehemently opposed to the idea, so here we are.)

The situation that America (and, to a certain extent, other countries) finds itself mired in today did not happen overnight, and it did not happen "at the behest of the President." No matter how vocal a President might be (especially at first), the role requires leadership by persuasion and finesse. It requires qualities that I am not persuaded that Donald Trump has ... yet ... and that's one reason why I did not vote for either of them.

Nevertheless, it is quite clear that Donald seriously wanted this job. He needed no money other than his own to get him there (and he spent considerably less money than his opponent). Over the course of his campaign, he visibly became "more Presidential." This is a man who might well surprise us ... and, in a pleasant :eek: way.

Although most of our Presidents have been millionaires (Harry Truman was the latest one who wasn't ...), never before has this country had a pure-businessman ... who did not rise up through the political ranks of holding elected or appointed offices of any kind ... who asked for the keys to the kingdom and was subsequently given them. Therefore, we really don't know what to expect from this man. All that we know for certain is: "he didn't do it for the money." :rolleyes:

I am not sure if there will be a honeymoon if even those in the Republican Party that were the 'Never Trumpers' try to impede him from the start, particularly if Trump wants to improve relations with Russia - so ironically the honeymoon would be between Trump/Putin more than there would be a traditional honeymoon between Trump and other officials here.

I suspect that the "Never Trumpers" will quickly run out of steam: whether they like it or not, he is the new Chief Executive, and the people expect him to do the job. Also, he does represent somewhat of a "mandate for change from business as usual" such that any overt attempt to obstruct him (at first) will be seen as: "business as usual."

Donald Trump went to considerable lengths to get the Office ... yes, he was serious, after all. Now he faces the unwelcome challenge faced by every Officeholder before him: to find a way to do it, given that the President has almost no civil power whatsoever.

And, if one of the first things that he does is to improve diplomatic relations with Russia (and with its surrounding countries), well, to my mind that would not be an altogether bad thing to do. No head-of-state anywhere is "entirely to be trusted," but our relations with many countries have been lately, perhaps, "far more icy than they really ought to be." (And in the case of others, "far more capitulating than they really ought to be.") Does a businessman have a different point of view?

One interesting speculation, yet to be seen: "Will the Presidency of Donald Trump ... who, admittedly, is a President like none other our country has ever(!) had ... change our perspective of what 'the Office of the President of the United States' is, and/or of what it could or should be?"
