How could we have supported the hag?

Agree. I have been through two wars. We had missions all over the world. I have seen and lived in these countries. Have seen how people live in mud houses. On a convoy in the desert and children out begging for water and MRE's, in the middle of nowhere. How in the hell did they know we were coming that route ? In the jungle, women washing clothes in a stream with human and livestock shit floating by. Children playing in that same stream. Wherever we were, I would always try to find an ELDER that knew English and would be willing to talk. What I found, is that all people want the same thing. A better life for their children. Americans are spoiled. The division we have now in our country is as it was in the 1850's, leading to the Civil War. We had our divisions in the 1960's. But that was more on Social issues. Now just as in the 1850's its Party. Who will have control ? And just as it was in the 1850's, its Democrat and Republican. I truly hope that this country doesn't have to go through that again.

Again "than" PR.

I never did.

You seem a decent and thoughtful person. Bring that heart to bear on our present divisiveness. Do not look closely but deeply. What is the crux of the problem? Can you look without taking sides or blaming?

Get a life.
Obama’s choice, as always NFG.
Don't like our country and or President, go somewhere - anywhere.

Thank you, President Trump, for being our president and Making America Great Again. What an accomplishment after 8 years of complete incompetence and leading from behind. The anointed one’s agenda was only to make Americans more dependent upon government, and he was massively successful at this. MAGA !!!!!

Stranger

Yes. Thank you, Republican Senators. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

if you're quoting the WA PO, that sums it up...

There were two viable candidates. You can't dispute that HRC was a horrible choice for the left. There was a very long line of independents that may have voted for a democrat, just not her. That's all, and that's all. BTW, Sanders wouldn't have won either.

Thanks for asking rumitoid; 'why people tolerate let alone support a person like Trump' , AND will again!

HE FIGHTS.

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #Never Trumpers) constantly ask me if I'm not bothered by Donald Trump's lack of decorum.

They ask if I don't think his tweets are "beneath the dignity of the office." Here's my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship.

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized "collegiality" as John McCain? We tried propriety: has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same.

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don't find anything "dignified," "collegial" or "proper" about Barack Obama's lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds simply because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don't see anything "dignified" in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don't see anything "statesman-like" in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was "articulate" and "polished" but in no way was he in the least bit "dignified," "collegial" or "proper."

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the '60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they've fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one of the violent take-over of the universities till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America 's first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like "dignity" and "collegiality" simply aren't the most essential qualities one looks for in warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, "I cannot spare this man. He fights..."

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what's particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel's, he's shouting, "You magnificent bastard, I read your book!" That is just the icing on the cake, but it's wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he's defeating the Left using their own tactics.

That book is Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, a book so essential to the Liberals' war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton's senior thesis.
It is a book of such pure evil, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted.

Trump's tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after "the fake media" (and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri) Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as "the most powerful weapon of all." ... Most importantly, Trump's tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices.

They can either "go high" (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama's close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists, (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright's church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration's weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration's cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left and the #Never Trumpers as well: do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be "collegial" and "dignified" and "proper"? Of course I do. These aren't those times. This is war. And it's a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times.
I don't care. I can't spare this warrior.

He fights for America!
FIGHT ON YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD

You are very narrow-minded. I like everything Trump has done with the exception of two things. Lack of Hillary indictment and the latest spending Bill. You have no clue how badly Obama destroyed the drive and incentive of the American people when it came to business, his approach on ISIS was a joke, along with just about everything he did. Hillary would have been a clone. Name some of those lies that Trump has told. And be specific, some serious lies. Not a slight exaggeration. You can't do it so STFU, period. BTW, you should move to Cuba and buy one of those 1950's automobiles. I hear that's a communist country that is right up with the times. Can you say more-on?

You have a right to your opinion; my opinion is based on what a president does and how the policies he/she signs into law effect the nation's culture. If the policy tears down the nation, then he/she is a "bad" president and try as much as he/she can there is no hiding behind speeches. So far, the policies this president has signed are "anti-global." "Globalism" is the cancer, "communism." If you disagree, I believe you have been blinded by the indoctrination of the Soros-Rockafeller funded media.
