That Barr is a classical stooge and he did something similar when he was AG under the Bush Snr. He's a worthless guy and Karma will catch up with him . He even perjured himself under oath when he testified in Congress. I'm the fool forgets that we Americans pay his salary not Trump.
He may be among many to go down for Trump.

So Barr did not release the Executive Summary of Robert Mueller which was sent to him over a month ago?
We would love to see Robert Mueller's Executive Summary.

History won't be kind to William Barr. He is now the AG of Trump not the US . Seems everyone who associates with Trump gets damaged credibility.

Foreign AffairsRe: Doug Jones Won The Senate Seat In Alabama Over A Child Rapist Republican Roy Moo by rakish(m): 8:58pm On Dec 13, 2017
All these repubs repeating the same thing they accused dems of. Moore lost even with Trump stauch endorsement. I remember during the senate primaries campaign were trump said he may be wrong supporting Luther Strange. Strange lost and he flipped to Moore with appeal to alabamians with assertiveness that Roy will be voted in. Roy lost and he is now claiming he knew roy will lose. This election victory is not about the skeptic repubs that did not vote,afterall majority of them especially white women voted for moore. It is those dems that mightily came out to vote for Jones. If Trump can win, i see no reason why alabama won't vote for a democrat again.
Foreign AffairsRe: Doug Jones Won The Senate Seat In Alabama Over A Child Rapist Republican Roy Moo by rakish(m): 5:29pm On Dec 13, 2017
It was a fascinating win. Even with the disenfrenchisement of black voters due to strict voting rules,the many who were eligible made sure they voted. Heard the black turnout was even more than Obama's.

Mistake of poor post conflict management not decision to overthrow.
Thank u. NATO left libya few weeks after gadaffi was killed in october 2011,should have stayed longer. Civil war erupted in 2014. People blaming obama are ignorant of international peace keeping strategy. Its not strictly a US thing but a coalition of many states. Infact US played less role compared to the uk and france.

Mindfulness:
The president of the USA, Trump, took an oath to protect the constitution.

The first amendment guarantees the right to free speech and protest.

NFL players protested.

Trump demanded for them to be sacked.

This is a threat.

To threaten peaceful protesters is to threaten the first amendment.

This is a violation of the oath.

Very simple.

As you said previously, Americans are united by shared values formulated in the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. If you have an iota of objectivity and value the constitution, as you claimed, you will admit that Trump's behavior was unconstitutional.
Thanks very much for the logical explanation . I gave up on him.

I didn't say Trump broke the law by protesting. In your miopic mind, he was. A president ordering citizens to boycott American business and Americans is completely normal to you. That is how low you have gone. Also, There is a law against a government official influencing private citizens to boycott or tamper With a private citizens business or way of life. Go read my posts reasonably.

You see my friend, that is again a false narrative emanating from the left. Who created the "certain standards" you are talking about? Where is it in the constitution? There is Office of Government Ethics in the white house in case you do not know. Trump does not care about your ideologies until you attack him. That is what successful businessmen do; they fight back pound for pound. Trump is not a gaddem politician, people still fail to understand that and expecting him to change overnight! Think of it, would he had won the 2016 election if he had not been himself? If no, then why would his base not be disappointed if he changes on them. It's going to break their fvcking hearts!

On the NFL issue, what problem do you have with it? A naive millionaire chose to delegitimize the symbol of the freedom of a whole country, thereby insulting millions of Americans including those who do not want to get involved in the politics of anything. And then, a figure representing those millions of individuals speak on their behalf and condemned the act whilst still recognizing the offender's right to free expression, and of course utilizing his. Remember, this first happened last year, but it has started becoming a "thing" before the president jumped in on the issue. It was nothing personal, it has everything to do with the America as a nation; so it can only be right that the president stepped forward and addressed it squarely.

@bolded, the reverse was actually the case. Oh my, you just gotta watch hypocritical MSM like CNN, MSNBC, and co. It been all him doing the push backs.
Such hypocrisy. Talking about the constitution as regards Trump attitude and failing to acknowledge the constitution regarding the NFL issue. You see, I don't like talking too much with one person I know is star spangled ignorant or sweeping common sense under the carpet. BTW... there are several petitions against Trump in the Ethics department eg the recent NFL issue and Trump advocating a boycott breaks the law. And so many others.

It is very okay to push back on any attacker; Donald Trump is not your average phlegmatic. The rule is simple- don't do onto others what you would not want others do to you. You attack Trump, you should expect a counter attack. PC culture is meant for hardwired snowflakes who simply can't swallow a bitter truth.

Trump is not oppressing anyone; please show me evidence to the contrary. All he does is pushing back on his attackers. We are all living in a time of information and ideological wars; and ideology is propagated through speech. And the only way to counter is also through speech.

It will make us look if we all get off our moral high grounds and realize "it's only a tree that hears it will be cut down and still remains where it is". Human beings are wired differently and we should soft-pedal on this playing-the-judge menace coming from the left. All these false narratives about POTUS being an evil that is out to destroy every Non-Caucasian Heterosexual Christian Male are being orchestrated by the left wing MSM, powered by the DNC. And it's causing fragile brains a great deal of paranoia. That's the truth of the whole issue.
President of the United States. You are not talking about a twelve year old boy who needs to know the basics about simple interaction and criticism. President of the United States of America. You sure need to conform to certain standards. When you use the powers of your office to attack someone or people because they don't conform to your ideologies warranting insults and threats from your supporters, that is oppression and suppression. Eg the latest NFL issue, calling for a boycott and tagging them sons of bi***s, spreading hate against the media(especially during campaigns etc)

You are creating a false narrative.

Below is what silencing the voice of opposing views looks like. A generation when a small stature jewish American requires a heavy police protection to be able to exercise his right to free speech. That is the America we all wake up to presently.

Intellectual thuggery? Dear heaven!
False narrative? Why don't you go to Trumps twitter account then come back here. He attacks anyone he feels opposes him. Jewish Americans needs freedom to, am not denying that. But when the number one citizen is at the forefront of vocal oppression, its a cause for alarm.

Of course, Fox News. This has never been about disrespecting the flag or anthem. The flag is meaningless without the people and when the people have grievances, they have the right to protest. The flag symbolises freedom and what is freedom without the people? The military has nothing to do with the protest. What makes up America is not the military but the people.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by rakish(m): 12:58pm On Oct 01, 2017
When a government is committed in silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures ,until it has become a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

Breaking News : Words out now is that Senator Susan Collins of Maine will vote against dismantling of ACA known as Obamacare. Good for her. The repeal of Obamacare is dead. Trump is a Divider in Chief according to ABC polls that just came out with 68% of Americans of all races, genders and political affiliations calling him a divisive figure in America. MAWA: Make America White Again. Americans are truly seeing that the bigoted 71 year old racist pig is really dividing America . The rooster will be coming home to roost for him sooner or later.
Ted Cruz just spoke against the bill. Republicans are just in a hurry to pass a health care bill in order to please their donors while gambling with Americans lives. And Trump will accept any passed health care bill from them coz he needs it badly. He can't wait for "Trumpcare ".

There exists only two kinds of marriage in Nigeria under the law, statutory and customary marriage. If you do not conform to the requirements by law, whatever you do in the church is void. Most so called Church Marriage is a mere blessing of customary or traditional marriage also known as celebration of marriage.

A better analogy is should children born to convicted criminals in prison also be imprisoned?
I am impressed. It's glaring,those who always make sense here. When republicans had to filibuster in order to send Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, it was a Trump achievement and the ones they were unable to, they are tagged failures by Trump. Trump is making his followers turn against the republican party without them realizing it. Feel pity for the republican senators. Most of his campaign promises was loaded on them to execute and he just takes the credit. He just sits behind his small table and sign.

The problem with you and your ilks is that you love to throw yourself into the happenings in America where you don't have a clue. DACA was not illegally executed by Obama. He used his executive power to implement DACA because the Congress can't agree on how to go about reforming immigration with about 12 millions undocumented aliens. It's just trump and the AG Sessions showing their racist self. The 800.000 Dreamers affected by DACA were brought into America by their parents as young children. Some of them were brought in as young as few months old. The only country they know is America and in America, we don't punish children for the crime of parents. Your mind must be so Fvcked up for you to think you can just put your stinking trap in things you have no clue. Go back to your tribal section and spout your garbage there.
A logical explanation once again. DACA is not a law or an act created by OBAMA. It is an executive order by 44th after Congress failed to make a law regarding it for about 16years now. If the executive order was unconstitutional, states and private persons were at liberty then to go to court which no one did or the action failed. Why did Texas threatened to go to court through a letter sent to Trump after he was elected if he didn't rescind it? The only problem was that DACA was an executive order and can be trashed out by the next president.

Lets recap Trump's on words on the matter:

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

This indicated a personal wiretap of Donald Trump himself which as evidence has shown did not happen. All this long grammar you posted is an attempt to conflate issues. Donald Trump did not say oh my aides and surrogates were wiretapped, he said my phones. This is what we've got to expect, attempts to reinterpret reality so that what Donald Trump said is not what Donald Trump meant but what his supporters interpret it to mean.
You can never win an argument with fools. That's the truth. They will keep bringing their foolish argument to thwart your logical one. I have since lost hope on them. Thanks for the logical explanation though.

The media is a problem to the American people. How is leaking the Pentagon's plans of a possible strike on North Korea keeping the president on his toes? They are distracting him and making his administration more difficult than normal. Pray tell, how is the two scoops debacle keeping him on his toes? Is taking more ice cream a crime or an impeachable offence? They are only spinning Trump negatively because it helps their ratings. What happened to the whole Russia interference and Trump-Russia scandal? Gone like a wisp of smoke.

I would also appreciate a concrete source on the so-called regret voters. Forgive me if I do not believe in these fantastical polls. Same polls that gave the election to Hillary? Please.
Oh! So the Pentagon was trying to release an airstrike at North Korea? Then Trump should thank God the media released the information, it would have been Trumps worst decision yet. The Pentagon will be unwise to attack North Korea only a preemptive or counter one. If you don't know the importance of investigative journalism, then you should settle in North Korea where any news going out must pass through Pyongyang. 90percent of news about Trump and his staff turns out true. We saw Micheal Flynn fired, Trump jnr Russia scandal, Paul Manafort and many others secret dealings and romance with Russia. Ha, if you think the Russia scandal is over, take a backseat you haven't been following.

Donald Trump's base will dig their heels deeper in the sand supporting him because the media has forced that level of loyalty upon them.

When you call people who voted for him racist and sexist and scum of the earth without any rigorous attempt at proving why while they see themselves totally differently and probably even voted for him because he had the courtesy of travelling down to their base and ask for their vote, you have created an us-versus-them dynamic. When the media takes the seemingly most benign of issues and spins it monstrously for ratings and agenda (remember the two scoops issue for example), you get even more support for the president.

I guarantee you that the only thing that can whittle away the support Trump gets from his base is if he seems to detour from his campaign promises or commits an unimaginable crime. Till then, I'm afraid your consternation won't be allayed.
Well, the last time I checked, the media has kept the president on his toes. And without the media, those worrisome unravelings would not have been possible. You Trump has been ranting on twitter on how they are fake news because the news do not favor him even though true. I can assure you that if Trump goes down today, the media played a great role in it. Trump didn't win because of his blind followers but rather, because of some at the swing states who decided to give him a try and I can assure you they are fast regretting it. We have seen this from the polls. Trump will always have his supporters even if he committed murder today but what matters are those rational and unbiased Americans who tell themselves the truth and know failure when they see it.

Trump doesn't surprise people like me anymore. He just gets worst. But what surprises and baffles me the most is the level of support he still gets from his base. As undaunted as ever. But then I realize one thing, his overwhelming support comes from mostly whites, people without college degrees, the White supremacists, the racists, the bigots, the nationalists, those who believe they should exist far higher than others and think only of themselves. I came to a conclusion that this isn't a huge problem affecting America alone, but the whole world. I watched them rally and saw how journalists were booed, and I felt pity for how the US has degenerated.

US economy has grown by 2.6%, 1.1million real jobs have bn added, border security is stronger than ever, ISIS defeated in Irag and almost in Syria, coal n mining industries, have reopened, unemployment rate reduced to 4.4% for the first time in a very long while, North Korea has been tamed, US military strengthened, trade deficits reduced with better trade negotiations, dreaded MS- 13 decapitated and so on.
