He's supposed to sit there and take the lashing? The president is fighting back and I like it.

You are not discussing so much as cheerleading.
How will you feel when the next administration uses this for, say, less noble causes?
Also...
Anyway: Yes, the President of the US is supposed to weather many slings and arrows. That’s their fucking job. Even in the best possible circumstance, 25% of the population would rather they were hung from a tree. They’re supposed to lead the government, not be loved by their people.

Get lost you fucking communist.

Why cant a person lead the government and be loved by the people at the same time?
The president has policies that I dont agree with but I don't think his portrayal by the media is fair or accurate

Talk about short term thinking on this one. When things eventually flip and the other "team" does it, there will be a snowflake outcry.
In the same vein, "He's supposed to sit there and take the lashing," but then is shocked when media outlets rebuke Drumpf's statements.

You think this wasn't happening in Obongo admin? Or the ones before it?
People used to keep their mouths shut and do their jobs, but now they're out and out saying things and doing things that are outright treasonous among a plethora of lesser crimes.
[–] heygeorge [S] 2 points -1 points 1 point (+1|-2) ago
100% agree. The people hired (and acquired) by this administration do not have interest in that.

Because they’re not being investigated for anything.

Trump hired retard Omarosa or however you spell her name... Can’t blame that on Reince Priebus.
You are being philosophical in your response. Are you talking about Brennan? He sucks. That’s fine. But your statement...
It’s... vague. Isn’t Mueller looking at a similar thing on a grand scale? Who would that apply to in the current admin, and should their clearances be wiped? Do we suspend the intelligence briefings of a sitting pres? [Answer: Of course not, that’s fucking retarded... Shit, politicians are involved.]
Applying the ‘investigation’ moniker will only lead to more politically charged bullshit revocation and abuse of power by later morally bankrupt admins.

Wrongdoers are punished for crimes and treason. John Brennan works for China and other governments. Those are crimes. It is not about his 1st amendment right.
[–] heygeorge [S] 1 point -1 points 0 points (+0|-1) ago
John Brennan works for China... Is this the guy you’re talking about?

Would you please elaborate?

The Trump administration isn’t punishing ANYONE.
You’re wrong.

Why is this exclusive to the left? It’s not exclusive to an ideology simply because one person is quoted as saying it ~80 years ago.

You humans and your "wrongthink" and "rightthink". It's all "stupidthink" to me you psychotic lemurs with cell phone plans!
As for Trump, DUDE, his dad TOTALLY OWNED A DEALERSHIP. I trust him, we're bros, we shop at MINISO together, dude totally pledged Torah Torah Shekel last year, wanted me to be his pledge brother but I said "not on the lips". That last part may not have happened or not, probably.

What does? Perhaps if you were more specific we could further discuss.

Honeypots. We have been bombarded for a few days with them. They are trying really hard into pushing normal guys into behaving like neo Nazi Jew killers. You don't know what to believe anymore.
