    To be fair to The Donald @NewRoxFan , he's very dystopian in his views of America. He lives in a gold plated tower and shields himself from the masses. So all he knows is what is told to him by his advisors and voters. There is a drug abuse problem in New Hampshire and it was a HUGE issue in the campaign.

    Even if NH has a significant drug problem, the POTUS blaming Mexico? And... more broadly, what to be gained by dissing one of his states?

    Like I said, dystopian view. I don't believe he sees that as an insult. He probably believes that everyone there agrees with him. I'm sure he has a friend who won't even go there anymore because of all of the Mexicans selling opiates.

    I suspect you are correct... I am betting their are TOFs right now saying "you know, NH is a FAKE STATE and is a drug infested place that isn't MAGA!"

    Assuming he's on tv tonight, I'm sure Hannity will give a full throated defense of the comment.

    The "big news" Trump will announce is the governor of WV changing from Democrat to Republican. Seems like a great time to jump on the Trump train... :rolleyes:

    Emotion has literally nothing to do with it at this point. Trump has provided enough ammunition for his incompetence to last for two Presidential terms. At this point, I can only hope and pray he miraculously changes because he's not even in the list of worst Presidents- he has a separate category to himself. And he can never erase it. So I almost can't criticize him anymore because, as he is so historically and ridiculously bad, I don't want to pile on. Good luck, POTUS.

    Clinton was undone by an entrenched admin who thought he was sullying the office, but who also had a blabbermouth moron of a coworker. This could totally be someone at that level, assuming she's not craven enough for a book deal it could go on forever.

    Interesting article that suggests that the leaked conversation with the Australia M might come back to haunt Trump in the immigration ban court case...

    I'm guessing DoJ is going to subpoena the reporters who printed the transcripts and force them to reveal their sources (which they should, otherwise they are withholding evidence of a crime)

    Curious... don't reporters routinely resist handing over sources? Even at the risk of going to jail? Seems Watergate was cracked due to reporters confidential sources.

    what happened to loving leaks? Just pretend they're "dumpileaks" as in white house leaks.


    There is a saying in my country, keep your enemies close, your imaginary friends even closer.

    Definitely wasn;t worth it. Yes, it made Trump look bad, but the threat to national security has been understated. No world leader will have a converasation with Agent Orange now.

    They do resist, and they should be prosecuted for doing so.

    You or I can't withhold evidence in a criminal investigation without consequence.
