Wow, that's alot to cover so I ll keep it simple.
While you were wasting your life, he was making Millions.
While you spent your time complaining and protesting, he made Billions.
While you ran a crooked candidate (even while she was manipulating her own parties primaries) he became President.
So if he's "feeble- minded" what does that make you?
I see.
Instead of chasing ghosts and MSM fairy tales of collusions, perhaps the Lib party (since the Dems gave their party away) should instead come up with an actual message, that is other than obstruction.
Keep in mind Trump wouldn't be in office if not for people like you.

I had no idea moldyoldy was a veteran. Must have been in the K-9 division.

I couldn't have guessed that. And you people elected him president...

Donald Trump has many serious flaws, including incorrigible dishonesty, rampant narcissism, contempt for women and a fashion sense that makes him think that hairstyle of his is flattering. But nothing compares to his most prominent, crippling and incurable defect: He’s dimmer than a 5-watt bulb. (ouch!!!)

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was reported to have called the president a “moron” — emphasizing that term with an adjective I can’t repeat here. Forced to hold a news conference to praise the president’s intelligence, Tillerson was too honest to deny what he had said.

The late William T. Kelley, who taught Trump at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of “The Art of the Deal,” says Trump had “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.”

Trump’s feeble-mindedness is on daily view. When an Uzbek immigrant was arrested for allegedly driving a truck down a Manhattan bike path, killing eight people, the president responded in thunderously stupid ways. First, he tweeted that he had “just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program.” If you can step it up, why didn’t you do that before?

He fumed that the alleged killer wanted an Islamic State flag for his hospital room. Really? The guy reportedly killed eight people, and the flag is what steams you? Trump demanded the death penalty — opening the way for the suspect’s lawyers to argue that the president has made it impossible for him to get a fair trial.

Trump has learned nothing from his past blunders. As a candidate, he said Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was a traitor who should be executed. Asked about the case as president, he doubled down: “I think people have heard my comments in the past.”

The military judge announced he would count Trump’s statement as “mitigating evidence” — which may be why he ended up giving Bergdahl no prison time. Not only was Trump’s remark unnecessary and inappropriate; it was self-defeating.

He’s just not bright enough to make connections between his conduct and its consequences. Trump’s travel ban has lost repeatedly in court because he has made clear he has an unconstitutional goal: shutting out Muslims because of their religion. If he had kept quiet, he might have gotten his way.

The evidence of his dimwittedness flows as continuously and voluminously as the Mississippi River. His tweets are studded with misspellings, random capitalizations and mystifying quotation marks.

He taps out tweets that flagrantly contradict what he tweeted when Barack Obama was president, making himself look ridiculous. When he holds forth on policy issues, it’s excruciatingly apparent he has no idea what he’s talking about.

Trump relies on a vocabulary the size of a second-grader’s. To combat opioid abuse among teens, he favors “telling them, ‘No good, really bad for you in every way.’ ” Those paper towels he tossed to a crowd in Puerto Rico were “very good towels.” He wanted to call the tax reform bill “the Cut Cut Cut Act.”

He pretends to be a master negotiator, but he has failed to get the Republican Congress to repeal Obamacare, enact protections for immigrants brought here illegally as children, and fund his border wall.

Trump tries to conceal his intellectual deficiency by insisting how smart he is. “I went to an Ivy League college,” he said last month. “I’m a very intelligent person.” He has to make such affirmations because all the evidence indicates his cranium contains an airless void.

I don’t mean to suggest his supporters are dumb. There are plenty of intelligent people who voted for him and plenty of stupid ones who didn’t. But the smart Trump supporters don’t hold his intellect in awe.

After Tillerson’s “moron” comment was reported, Trump said, “I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win.”

I’m sure plenty of readers are now saying I’m the stupid one, with a brain far inferior to Trump’s. They may be right. So I put a challenge to him: We both take an IQ test, administered by an independent body, with the results to be made public.

This is a great chance to dazzle the world with his peerless mind. It’s a chance for him to humiliate someone in the “fake news media” with his towering intellect.

But I’m betting Trump will never submit to any process that would document his actual intelligence for the public to see. He’s dumb. But not that dumb.

I'm not confused about any of this. Any rational person who has eyes to see and ears to hear knows exactly who and what you and your low rent goose-stepping comrades are and that you despise everything about America.

Why Do Democrats Hate America?

It is common knowledge that patriotic Americans tend to be Republicans, while unpatriotic Americans tend to be Democrats. According to the latest Gallup poll, the gulf between the parties is widening.

Gallup headlines the fact that only 47% now say they are "extremely proud" to be an American, the lowest total ever recorded. But the partisan divide is stark and, as you can see in this graph, it is getting worse:

The contrast is even greater when liberals are compared with conservatives. Sixty-five percent of conservatives say they are extremely proud to be Americans, almost three times the 23% of liberals who say the same.

As you would expect, the college-educated and the young are the least proud to be Americans. This is the result of a generation of mis-education, in which Howard Zinn has become the #1 guide to American history and Karl Marx is far more widely taught than John Locke. Perhaps the best thing you can do for your offspring is not to send them to college.

Meanwhile, you have to wonder about the future of a party, most of whose members don't like the country they are trying to take over. Maybe when they have turned the U.S. into Venezuela or Cuba they will be proud to be Americans. Let's hope they don't get that opportunity.

No, we should tell them to just send a check and stay home. I had the misfortune of training with some Turkish troops once. What a bunch of losers. A platoon of US troops fresh out of AIT could probably wipe out a battalion of them. Poorly trained, undisciplined and very full of themselves. Or full of something at any rate.
The German military is a joke. The Brits are okay, but they lack the capability to deploy in a timely fashion. Most of the other countries would be little more than mosquitoes to the Russians. If it ever came down to it, the US would have to handle all of the heavy lifting, and these friggin' yerpeens can't even pony up a little money?

Of course, you're right. As always in the past in any future conflict, the majority of white crosses in Europen graveyards will be held up by Americans. Our commitment to defend aside for the moment what if we simply contribute to the same level as say the average of the other NATO members? We will meet our commitment to defend until the money runs out. Unless America is directly threatened the American taxpayer will not fund NATO.

Another school of thought is why should we be concerned if the Russians take over all of Europe? They would be so busy trying to sort out that bleeding-heart mess they wouldn't have time for us and we could probably make deals with them anyway?

I did business in Europe for almost four decades but had no opportunities in Portugal so can't comment on redeeming qualities. As for the rest of them? They can go screw their hats. They want everything and give nothing as is the Leftist, Socialist way.

For the first time in modern history (post-WWII) we have an American president telling these Leftist bastards – to their faces - that we will no longer subsidize their pathetic governments; we will no longer accept their extreme tariffs while they dump here. We will no longer protect you free of charge … and so on. We have a president, as dim-witted and unbright as he may be, telling the world he works for the people of HIS country.

And so we see protest and demeaning of our country. We see the real face of our 'European friends and allies' … And I think we've only just opened that sack.

Well, when all is said and done let's see who needs whom, eh?

It's refreshing to watch Trump make other countries love us just from the amount of love Trump shows for America.
Somehow, it became chic to hate America, after all, they lost an empire and America profited from it. Thus the rise of the intellectual existentialists who mourned the loss of two World Wars and loathed the fact that America, not Russia, was going to rebuild Europe. They were beaten so thoroughly that they wanted a Central Government where all goods and services were provided.
America made them work for the reconstruction.
They are still bitter about that.

Your observation regarding the rebuilding of Europe after we saved them – again – and the fact that we wouldn't just foot the bill is not without merit. In all my years of traveling those countries, I simply came to feel that they were tolerating us because they have to. Too many times I heard the phrase “you Americans” followed by some derogatory observation in regard to our individuality and wealth ('you have a house of your own? My God!'). But nobody could ever tell me why they couldn't have a house of their own ... At any rate;

I don't see any of them loving us anytime soon. But as I have said, who cares? It's they who have the problem. Broadly speaking, even collectively they are weak-willed when it comes to defending themselves. This is one of the (many) detrimental effects of collectivism.

We will do just fine without Mercedes Benz's and Belgian chocolates. How will they do with scratchy Russian toilet paper and borscht three times a day?

Trump, as stupid and dim-witted as he may be, needs to keep doing what he's doing. America comes first and anyone who wants to get in the boat with us and row their weight is welcome.
