    Can you please provide a link proving your "lists of people to be assassinated" claim?

    oh, well than thats no big deal, but good to know you are inside his head, has he used the term king? Honestly the only people I've ever heard use the word dictator or king is angry liberals, the republicans I know just think of him as "a guy I voted for".

    YOU may be asking the wrong question.

    Why did the Senate cede its authority over tariffs to the Nitwit-in-Chief? Because Repubs fear the wrath of Don and therefore The Following.

    Good point, however that was then. In 2016, most voters wouldn't answer polls truthfully out of embarrassment. Few wanted to openly admit they were voting for Trump. That's no longer an issue with the various polls. But you are right, the only poll that matters is the election itself.

    Also, remember the tens of thousands of angry Bernie Bros. That doesn't seem like an issue this time, either. The thing we should all be careful about is where we get our candidate information, because Russian hackers are more active than ever and determined to spread as much bulls..t ... er, propaganda ... against the Democratic nominee. Putin still wants Trump in the Offal Office.

    This thread is just more of the dems projecting their desires and world views, onto Trump. It's they who want their presidents to behave as a king, or a dictator.

    When a Democrat is our president, the left wants Congress to create an ever more powerful executive branch. They applauded it when Congress ceded more and more of their powers to president Obama. They loved it when Obama bypassed Congress and our laws with "my pen and my phone." Conservatives have always opposed Congress inflating the power of the executive branch, no matter who is president.

    Now that Trump is president, the dems suddenly realize how an all powerful president is not really what they wanted after all.. Of course, that will all change once they elect another Democrat as president, then it's off to the races with their guy empowered as king.

    Since they can't invoke the 25th without the toadies Trump has loaded into his cabinet, congress need to impeach. But that would require backbones.

    People in power have one priority: staying in power. They are too busy trying to keep their jobs instead of doing their jobs.

    Add me to your list of angry liberals, then.

    Of course Trump doesn't use that word, but his behavior is revealing. And did he not say more than once that he plans to stay in office even after his second term? Google the phrase "trump plans to stay in office" -- the list of articles was too long to pick just one to link here.

    I'm not saying he would ever succeeed in that, but he has been dropping hints, mostly to his base.

    Regarding your signature line, it was Carl Sandberg who said that bit about pounding the table. I thought you'd like to know.

    The truth is the truth. Gaffe master Biden and the drones isn't a hand a care to bet on.
    The trouble is the Bernie Bros don't like Biden any more than they did hillary. Anger may not be there but ennui will serve the same purpose. And I don't think #metoo is going to be real pleased with hands on Joe either.

    Backwards or forwards, or any which way but proper, congress has not been representing their taxpaying working constituents, but rather, congress has been working against their own people.

    The good part of America does not think like that: the fact is whether Joe, Bernie, Kamala, or Elizabeth, the Dems and the Independents will vote for and elected the Dem candidate.

    Why?

    Let me tell you something straight.Speaking of toadies, if a impartial psychiatrists assessed Democrats in congress, half of them would end up in a mental asylum somewhere in the USA. You need to use the mirror more often.And take a harder look.

    why did Trump not add strings to the corp tax cuts.... only give the tax cuts to corps that do not send jobs overseas

    why is Trump rewarding Corps that send American jobs overseas?

    What laws?

    Senate GOP kills measure to curb job 'outsourcing'

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/senate-gop-kills-measure-to-curb-job-outsourcing

    Senate Republicans block bill to end tax breaks for outsourcing
    https://thehill.com/blogs/floor-act...-block-bill-to-end-tax-breaks-for-outsourcing

    New Legislation Would End Tax Incentives to Move Jobs and Profits Offshore
    https://itep.org/new-legislation-would-end-tax-incentives-to-move-jobs-and-profits-offshore/

    "New legislation introduced, the No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act, by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) would help repair the damage to the international tax code wrought by the new Trump-GOP tax law and move toward a system where U.S. corporations can’t reap tax benefits from shifting jobs and profits offshore. In a letter to Congress, 54 national organizations, including ITEP, voiced their support for the legislation and called it a crucial step toward leveling the playing field for businesses.'

    lol, I'm a bit bored so I did google it, on page 1 I found 1 article (blogger maybe?) on medium that was written by an angry liberal that interpreted his hints, good lord.

    please don't tell me you take this crap seriously, for christ sakes even his base would laugh at this stuff.

    he is just a guy they (not me) voted for that is putting Americans in front of the line, and his base is cool with that.

    However, with the way the dem candidates are talking they've gone off the deep end, I'm already penciled in to vote for DJT this time around, which is pretty sad because I can't stand his personality and I really really REALLY don't want to listen to the left b1tch, cry and moan for 6 more years, its hurting my ears!

    I actually think congress IS an asylum already. please join me in voting against every incumbent, even the good ones need to be tossed out with the bad, in 6 years we could replace every single person in congress, yet we keep saying "they all need to go, but my guy is onegood ones" and vote for him/her again, ugh, drives me nuts!

    Congress needs to pass laws to stop corps from using excessive foreign imports and foreign outsourcing

    Trump needs to lead and request these laws be passed by Congress
