    Lower taxes, healthcare reform, a wall with mexico to stop the flow of illegal aliens from that country, protection from the paris climate scam.

    I think trump is struggling with a job that is much bigger than he imagined it would be.

    But the under the table counter attack from the swamp in washington was not part of the deal for previous presidents so trumps problems are not his own making

    I think comey is a politician and one of the alligators in the swamp that trump promised to drain.

    What are the charges against flynn that trump is alleged to have obstructed?

    I don't think Trump actually ever expected to be President, and that's been the consensus of many people in my close circle. But I'm glad he beat Hillary and he is surprisingly doing better than I ever expected.

    You could be right that trump never expected to go as far as he did.

    But trump is president

    though unfortunately spending all his energy fighting phoney russian collusion charges from the corrupt washington establishment

    Trump Lawyer Doubles Down On Comey Perjury Accusation

    "Our statement was accurate and was not referring to the May 16, 2017 story. It is obvious that whomever was the source for the May 11, 2017 New York Times story got that information from the memos or from someone reading or who had read the memos."

    You wont admit he lied and still lies. Until you do nothing else you post is of relevance because youre just an apologist.

    Still didnt address my point about ohio, moreover, you ignore that if the ec is fair why is it only used for presidential elections? Its a farce.

    As far as iowa is concerned, i get your point but again the senate and house exist, and they compete with the executive, and have alog of power in dc. Your argument doesnt make sense.

    He appeared on a Russian TV panel and did not report the income and he was hired by Turkey to help them on some trade issues here and did not report it to the FBI during his security xheck. Both as a private citizen and nothing to with Trump.

    Yes.
    It came out that Debbie Wasserman Schulz had stacked things to favor Hillary over Bernie, and that Hillary was given one of the questions prior to one of the debates.

    I deleted the rest for brevity.
    I think America IS great.
    My parents were immigrants, became citizens, owned a house, raised 4 kids.
    I had my Master's degree fully paid for by a company I worked for. (My wife and I have BS degrees we financed with government loans that we paid off). I am retired now, and am debt free except for a mortgage I could pay off with IRAs, but have no reason to do so.
    I raised 3 kids, put them all thru college and set them off debt free with a good used car.
    I have a new house, a nice used boat, and enjoy life.
    The only other country I considered living in was Australia (got to see Sydney on R&R).
    America is not perfect, but is sure looks good to me.
    I made enough money to put me in the top 10% - in my long-winded introduction I admit I meet the demographics to be in the GOP - old, white, male, well-off, but they put party before country, and I don't.

    By that logic, until you can name me one person that doesn't lie, you're an apologist, but frankly I just think you're delusional.

    Well you can think what you want all you want, but the facts state otherwise. Not a single example you just listed extends beyond you personal bubble to compare the US today compared to the US throughout history, save one. You did however claim to be in the top 10%, which means that for 90% of the rest of the population the system isn't working well. You didn't exactly work for that, it was given to you by your employer whom you stated fully paid for you Masters degree and a BS acquired by government loans (which I'm assuming you didn't get yesterday). Those days are over and they've been over for years. And all of this was in response to my question of what you thought was so great up until January 20th, 2017, which you still have not answered (nor can you). Because by January 20th, of 2017 the US already wasn't great, and since January 20th, of 2017 it hasn't become any less-great.

    What are they teaching kids today in school (I wonder) because apparently it isn't US Government. The electoral college is only used in Federal election because they are Federal elections (elected by states as equal entities, regardless of different state population sizes).

    What I want to know is why did Trumps tweet about "tapes" spur Comey to leak his memos? He woke up in a cold sweat he said, and realised that's what he "had to do".

    Why??

    They keep looking for where Russia switched one vote but all they get is where Democrats rigged the votes. Did the Democrats join the Russians? Nah! The Russians are more civil.

    Comey just got his book deal. It's all he was shooting for. I'm not sure sure I would be interested in buying a book from a person who admits to being a coward.

    False.

    "
    The President tweeted on Friday, after I got fired, that I better hope there's not tapes," Comey said. "I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, because it didn't dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversation, there might be a tape."

    Comey, who wrote memos after his meetings with Trump, had shared the documents with fellow FBI officials. Asked during the Senate hearing if he shared the memos elsewhere, Comey explained he asked a "good friend" who is a "professor at Columbia law school" to be an intermediary with the press.

    "My judgment was I needed to get that out into the public square. So I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter," Comey said.

    "I didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel, so I asked a close friend of mine to do it," he said.

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/10/politics/trump-comey-testimony-timeline-what-we-know/index.html

    If the existence of tapes would confirm Comey's story, why did he feel the need to "get it out there"?

    Because there is no evidence that tapes exist, plus there is no evidence that your time-line is correct.

    It's Comeys timeline, not mine.

    Did you watch the hearing?
