    This is what cracks me up. You guys bash others for being selective, and then you find the one line in six bullet points stating that the guy is a bit loose with the truth, take it as proof that you are right..hahhaha

    More and more people are saying that he is unfit for office.....and the Republicans sit on their hands and try and keep it together behind the scenes fearing the embarrassment of admitting the truth about this clown. "Nothing to see here!"

    If Woodward's book and this latest op-ed story are even close to being correct we should impeach him now.

    There have been a lot of inflammatory books with factual inaccuracies (Fire and Fury, Unhinged, etc.) but Woodward is known for meticulously taping interviews and was speaking with former and current staffers for over 100 hours. I'm sure there are disgruntled ex-employees who are fanning the flames but I don't think Woodward is making up sources.

    ...that's not what I originally said...please read again...all I said was that he had been "nominated" and he was.

    When will Megan Kelley bring the final assault on Trump?
    That ought bring out the final clarity needed to convince every liberal.

    ...when did I say it was "gospel"?...I didn't...I posted it and you can choose to believe or not...but you didn't, you instead arbitrarillydismissed as "made up"...why would you think Woodward is lying and why are you acting like this is the first time Trump has been lambasted for what he is by a lot of credible people and exposed in other books?...again, you're grasping for straws and you have been since the beginning.

    He more than likely did not make up sources, just embellished what was said as he has done in the past.

    ...no, wrong again...he actually quoted people...there's a difference. Woodward has 100s of hours of tape recording to go by.

    Okay, help me out here home fry, I can chose to believe it or not...so when I chose to not believe it, that is not allowed? Come on Bro..

    I will clarify if I can.

    The op ed piece from the NY Times, with no named sources I believe is sour grapes

    Woodwards quotes are already being denied by those he has "quoted. He has in the past been accused of making stuff up..so if in fact people have been stealing papers off the desk of the President, there will be charges. If there are no charges, then that would make me tend to bvelieve those that deny Woodwards stuff.

    Woodward was also accused of fabricating a deathbed interview with CIA Director William Casey

    Woodward has been accused of exaggeration and fabrication regarding "Deep Throat," his Watergate informant.

    Woodward believed the Bush administration's claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction before the war, and

    Woodward either gets the context wrong or doesn't find any context at all

    all quotes from wiki..the same source many here have used

    I voted for Trump to do as he said he would as President.

    This includes:

    Stopping the illegal immigration at the boarder.

    Improving the environment so that as many people as possible can get jobs in this country.
    This included improving the competitiveness of the US in Business tax structure as compared to the rest of the world.
    It also includes improving the job environment for Black people so that more could be able to feel free and successful.

    The above also includes making trade fair for the US through out the world but especially with China.
    Which also is tied into the next objective.

    Prevent North Korea from being able to threaten the US with Nuclear weapons

    Prevent Iran from being able to threaten the US and Israel with Nuclear weapons

    Put people on the SCOUS that will read Constitutions and the laws as written.

    All are remarkable better or moving in this direction.
    It will be very hard to offend me while this work is in progress, with some already complete or way down the road.

    Woodward or others that earn a living as loud mouths hold no influence here.

    PS.
    I knew he nor anyone else would be able to restore my healthcare I lost with the fiasco of the last administration.

    Okay, sure, under your definition of "nominated" Trump has been nominated and so has Putin for that matter. Whether either one made it on the short list for the committee to vote on we'll never know unless one of them wins it.

    Given that criteria, would you consider writing a letter nominating me? It think it would look great on my resume, I'm a big fan of world peace, and I do my best to make nice on this Blazer board despite all the aggravating people and posts. :smiley-trophy:

    Question for you da jones. Do you have a red line when it comes to Trump? and if so, what would it be? From reading maris and marzy's posts it has become very apparent they have no red line and just wondering what yours might be.

    Okay, I will take this serious.

    If he acted like hillery has done for years. She was the epitome of corrupt. The good news is that while she was able to act while being protected by her cronies and the media, Trump could never dream of getting away with a fraction.

    If he turns against his base and ignores the direction that we asked for (WE being his supporters)

    Actually acted against the constitution...not just the silly rhetoric shown by the dems, but something serious that was fact and could be proven
