"There's just never been any question in my mind about that. I've been inside a cover-up. I know how they look and feel. And every signal they're sending is: 'we're covering this thing up'," Dean said.

"Experienced investigators know this. They know how people react when they're being pursued, and this White House is not showing their innocence, they're showing how damn guilty they are, is what we're seeing."

When you crash, don't think about suicide, or drinking. Use your energy towards helping others.

I don't have a problem with that.......BUT.....it will be fun to watch you and your friends scurry around if it happens. You also might want to keep in mind that I said Trump will bow out before four years. It will not be by impeachment but by his disdain for all the ********.

Pence does not share my political views at all, but I at least have respect for the man and believe he would work WITH others to set forth an agenda that he feels is best for the nation.

Trump is working with others to set forth an agenda that he feels is best for the nation. I don't like his antics anymore than you do but he does genuinely want America to prosper and he is doing what he thinks is best to achieve that.

He's NOT working with people that want a path to citizenship for immigrants that have contributed to our nation, or with people that have legitimate concerns about the environment, or people that want the US to aid in the worlds refugee crisis.....the man is extreme.....you know that, it's a big reason why you voted him in. He's not a compromise guy, he's a "git er done" alpha dog, not some liberal *****. Political football sucks, but it helps keep EVERYONE in the game.....it's OUR nation.

How does one separate his agenda from the antics when the antics are both reckless and dangerous?

Where did you come up with this nonsense? Trump has always touted a path to citizenship for immigrants. And for the record......I have posted several times that Trump should grant amnesty to all illegals that have not committed a serious crime. With that said.....Trump is not against a path to citizenship for immigrants.

Amazing how in that whole story it was never specifically mentioned exactly what Trump is allegedly "covering up" or how he is "obstructing justice"?

What is the crime he is accused of? How is he impeding the progress of the criminal investigation into that crime?

(that's what a "cover up" is...a willful intent to hide, conceal, delay, obstruct, or otherwise impede a Lawful investigation into allegations of criminal activity)


So let's hear it moe since you quote John Dean as 'knowing' what a cover up looks like. What is the crime Trump and /or members of his administration are "covering up"?

What criminal investigation are they blocking?

What specific legislation does he either support or has sponsored that denies legal immigrants a path to citizenship? He is putting out those who entered here illegally, especially if they've committed crimes here. A path to citizenship for those who obey our immigration Laws still exists, and Trump is not advocating doing away with that.

What specific legislation does he support or he has proposed to destroy the environment? He is rolling back either redundant or needless over reach on some environmental regulations

Click to expand...

What specific legislation does he support or has proposed that eliminates U.S. aid to world refugees? He is limiting the amount we spend on them or we can take in, and he does support their full vetting especially if they come from nations either known to be hostile to us or who have sworn allegiance to groups who are.

He was elected on a specific set of promises made to his voters and he's implementing them, why should he compromise with anyone over those promises? Who elected him, his opposition?

Politics ultimately is about ideas. In the arena of ideas Trump's ideas won a chance to be implemented. Those who don't like or reject his ideas need to win enough voters to support better ones next election.

Click to expand...

Who says it's otherwise? Why do Trump's supporters not get a chance to see if the ideas Trump promised them to set up will work? If they don't, we'll just pick someone else who has a better plan.

Who says Trump's ideas are the only ones we have to try?

I'm ok with him not working on those issues, or rather not working on them to your liking.

This is legitimately where we depart. For the most part, I've been supportive of his policy decisions. If he would get off of twitter and show some humility, I'd be completely in his camp. To the other part of your post about him being an alpha dog. I like that as well. I don't want someone that will cower to the left's tactics of the last 25 years. That PC **** jumped the shark years ago. You couldn't disagree with the progressive agenda without being labeled a racist or some other ist when the reality, the motivation and decision tree I follow typically follows financial concerns. Sometimes you just can't save them all, you all want to try, that's fine. I don't, not to the expense of our national identity, or what I consider our identity.

I'd be for something new....Bernie lays it down straight.....but Trump just seems like an over grown kid to me. Tough talk, but the man has flip flopped like a true politician his whole life. I don't think it's about cowering either, I think it's about advanced citizenship....**** ain't easy....we need to get together to fix real problems. We can't keep going Obama - blowback then Trump - blowback.....**** will get even more fvcked up.

Since when has refugees hurt us? I'd like our flag to stand for more than kicking ***.
