    This must not be forgotten.

    It's not just the Russians or the privatized, low-level, theft of the Trump klan and his cronies.

    The GOP as a whole is partaking in this corruption - not just Trump, all of them. Every single one from pro-Trump shills all the way down to "principled" guys like McCain and Flake and Corker.

    So now you care about "looting" when in fact this country has already been looted by the corporate oligarchs. We don't live in the United States of America, we live in the United Corporations of America.

    Let's play a game., point to yourself in this picture.

    Honestly both parties are overly concerned with the special interest of a very small group of wealthy people and corporations.

    Both sides of its voters are slowly thinking civil war instead of revolution.

    Special interests have it good.

    Since it doesn't matter, if someone takes a sandwich from you is the same as someone who burns your house down, a crime is a crime right?

    True, but they do differ on the degree to which they do.

    Anyone who thinks this is a middle class tax cut is most certainly the sheep in the middle of IpMan's photo.

    Bush went to war in Iraq and left a great recession.

    As much as Trump is divisive he really hasn't set in motion the disaster the media would have you believe.

    He really hasn't done anything either way

    LOL... one of trump's staunchest fans and devoted defender, and the best you can say is "well, he hasn't gotten us in a war (yet)"

    He has actively attacked many institutions including our judicial, law enforcement, and intelligence communities. He has diminished our standing in the world. He is increasing the disparity between the "haves" and "have nots". He is attacking our health care system. And soon he will go after social security, Medicare and Medicaid. He has increased division in the country, he has embraced white nationalism and offended women and people of color.

    And note I said nothing about crimes he is being investigated including sexual harassment and assault, obstruction of justice, and collusion.

    And you defend him by saying "He really hasn't done anything yet."

    What policy has he put in place that has increased the disparity between haves and have nots

    How has he diminished our standing in the world?

    Im tired of you calling me a supporter of his because the point is it's all rhetoric.


    Obamacare is still the law of the land

    You don't have to be an ******* with the personal **** every time you respond to me. Get a grip
