    Since the President has gone on and on how this election will be rigged and unfair, if the Democrats lose, shouldn't they investigate the process?

    You don't push a country away from being a real democracy without breaking a few eggs along the way. Pompeo is many things, but he's not an idiot, and he knows the Hatch Act et alia. He and Barr are more aware of what's going on than probably anyone else in that devilish circle.

    “unreasoning hate” - let’s talk about this. You honestly think that there is not a reasonable basis for rational human beings to hate the guy? You think that Trump has not willfully earned the disdain by his actions?

    Is it your position that anyone who dislikes Trump is just overly sensitive? That everyone should just conform to Trumps view of what is offensive, what is not, what is acceptable behavior from a president. Because that’s how it works right? Trump and his sycophants are the sole arbiters of what is ok and what is not.

    Any adversity (you said diversity) that Trump faces is well earned with every lie, every 5th grade level insult, every stupid idea that comes out on a nearly daily basis. And by now, you should know Trump is strategic. This is not an accident. The lies, insults, polarization, division ... it is intentional. It is a strategy. At least give Trump the recognition he deserves.

    I caught like 5 minutes of North Korea state TV tonight. Compelling stuff. Trumpers must be proud.

    Do you think that is a "cherry picked" photo of the man? I am more serious than you realize.

    Please do show me a better one. Really. Please. ASAP.

    One thing you have to say about Trump, he doesn't back down in the face of all the opposition. He might send some kneejerk tweets, but he is still standing.

    Almost felt bad for Melania. Those crickets nearly drowned her out during her speech.

    Didn't even wait for her to finish.

    Why do you think that is? Why would a President double down when he is absolutely proven wrong? Like "it will magically go away"

    Could it be narcissism?

    Thats schoolyard **** I’ve seen enough of your temper tantrums followed up with ‘with all due...’. Cut the BS and be frank. I’m a grown man who can handle his emotions so there’s no need to follow up an insult with your catch phrase.

    Unless it’s a not to Ricky Bobby, it’s insincere although I still get a chuckle when you say it. And if that’s the purpose, then by means....’with all due respect’.

    See.... At times I feel you might be trying to keep it civil, for real. But when you stoop to insulting by petty name calling, you’ve become the very man who you rail on against. He brings it out in you guys and you don’t see it. Or if you do then you’re knowingly being hypocritical.
