Apparently not a pre-requisite for the arms embargo against Iran and Congress' moratorium on funding the Contras.

very true but the constitution has a specific definition that selling arms to iran didn't meet.

I'm not sure what to call this horrible betrayal of the people's trust.

Not even a defence of your side, just finger pointing and blame shifting. Lame.

You also mistake my intense disapproval of Trump as being a "lefty". Don't get it twisted, as much as "righties" love to label everything and everyone with which they disagree.


right isnt my side, im a moderate independent voter thats not registered to either party. I wasnt defending anything, I wa just pointing out, like i said earlier both sides are equally scummy and people dont like to accept it, thank you for proving my point for me

Well they're still mad Trump called them Fake News.

And their response appears to be to wedge their collective nose firmly up Trump's fat ass. Very integrity. Much brave.

I have some beachfront AZ property to sell you if you think Hillary, or any politician in the USA really for that matter, at a national level is upstanding and has never duped their electorate.

No you weren't defending Trump, despite your previous posts indicating your support. And while scummy might be a subjective term to which you can attribute any sort of equality you like, corrupt and hypocritical is not and it is plainly clear that Trump has "drained the swamp" straight into his cabinet. Nice try asserting my proving your point though. Valiant effort.

Let's not forget that Trump talked a lot of shit about all the things he was going to start doing on January 20th, none of which he is actually going to start doing until January 23rd. His first act as President will be to take the weekend off.


I'm torn between thinking that is a terrible sign and that it is a very good sign.

It is, last few Presidents at least had crowds behind the Washington Monument. According to WP, Trump's entering the presidency as one of the least popular Presidents in the last four decades.

Look, the election is over. Big bad Hillary is gone now. Defend your shitty candidate on his own merits.

Their are pretty clear gradations, and Trump has broken the needle on the high end.

And Obama issued fewer executive orders than Dubya.

I suppose it's good that there'll be a weekend in which he's not ruining the country, but it doesn't inspire hope that he'll be on top of future crises as they emerge.
