    You seem to have skipped the substance of your post at these points.

    Oh my, we know Trump is going to fight back.

    https://news.grabien.com/story-montage-doctors-morning-joe-have-diagnosed-donald-trump-soci

    Almost as soon as Donald Trump was inaugurated president, the hosts on MSNBC’s Morning Joe began pushing a narrative that the president could very well be criminally insane.

    The president, whom these hosts regularly remind viewers is tasked with overseeing America's nuclear arsenal, is mentally "unbalanced," "unhinged," and obviously suffers from "mental illness."

    "He keeps getting worse," Dr. Joe Scarborough said. "Mentally, he keeps getting worse. This is a man in decline."

    "There's an unwritten rule in the psychiatric community that nobody diagnoses people from afar," Dr. Donny Deutsch reminded viewers. "But I just don't feel like he's a well guy, period."

    "He has literally devolved, to the point where there is concern about his health," Dr. Mika Brzezinski said. "Or about his ability to take in information and use it correctly. It's like a child."

    Brzezinski has said she is so concerned about Trump's mental health that we should pursue "Article 25" -- apparently referring to the Constitution's 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president who is physically unfit to serve.

    "This looks like the steps leading to a total meltdown," Brzezinski. "This is really bad. Just for the record, we're all really nervous. So if people out there feel nervous, we do, too."

    "He's not well, he's not of sound mind," Donny Deutsch said. "That's somebody you look at clinically and say, he's not well ... I'm not a physician, but that it's -- he's mentally ill."

    Jeez, if 3 Doctors/tv hosts all think he's gonna nuke us cuz he crazy I'm going to have to start worrying.

    Scary. I think I'll be fine as long as Doctor Whoopi Goldberg doesn't chime in. Thank God Dr. Kathy Griffin lost her license.

    line breaks are for the reader....not the writer..they give the reader a place to contemplate...which is why you lose the substance would be my guess

    So let's review, Trump is perfectly sane and it's wrong to say otherwise but everyone who doesn't like Trump is obviously mentally deranged.

    And age discrimination.

    And dangerous precedent. If republicans don't like the next Democrat elected, they absolutely should pull this same crap.

    Republicans did not try to nullify the election result, claim Clinton was illegitimate, etc.

    They investigated him and his wife, just as they're doing to his wife now and Trump and his associates. Investigating is what Republicans do.

    They also did work with him and passed legislation Clinton wanted and signed.

    Well some of the R's (like the current POTUS), claimed Obama was illegitimate. I don't think anyone tried to nullify the election result except for that wacko Green Party candidate Jill Stein and maybe some D's had wishful thinking on that one. Denny, let's be fair, ever since Bill Clinton became president each side of the aisle has tried to demonize the other, particularly when Congress and POTUS are controlled by different parties. This is true of both parties. The main difference is that Trump makes it so easy with his very bizarre behavior and tweeting. Also, it is a little surprising to me that the R's just don't seem that united. They have had a long time to develop plans to address health care, taxes, spending, before 2016 and I would have expected that they had a more solid plan than what we have seen so far. I don't know how fervently they are investigating Trump and his associates. I mean, there was the whole Nunes not so secret leaking of info to WH. So, yes, they may be investigating Russia (which they should because we all know Trump and Putin are not going to get along and I'm sure Putin would love to cause chaos in the 2020 election). They may somewhat be investigating Trump and his associates, but you certainly wouldn't know it by listening to their questions of witnesses during public hearings. I'm not sure the point you are trying to make here. I think you want them to abandon the Russia investigation and work on other substantive issues, but I think the quicker they complete their investigation, and make their findings, the better for all. The investigation is important. Get it right. Get it done efficiently. Move on. Trump would be wise to just stay out of the whole Russia mess and try to focus on his agenda. However, his agenda seems to be to watch Fox & Friends, MSNBC, CNN and fight with people on the internet. While he would seem to fit right in at S2, I think we should all expect more from our President.

    It goes back to Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams.

    There's a difference between calling the republican presidents stupid (the "stupid" ones won reelection) and driving to impeach from day 1. That is new.

    Even with Obama and republicans, they didn't get along, but for the first 2 years, the republicans didn't obstruct.

    There is no impeachment process going on.

    Only because they didn't have the power to do so. The same reason the democrats are not capable of obstructing now.

    When did McConnell say he wanted to make Obama a ‘one-term president’?

    “When I first came into office, the head of the Senate Republicans said, ‘my number one priority is making sure president Obama’s a one-term president.’ Now, after the election, either he will have succeeded in that goal or he will have failed at that goal.”

    — President Obama, interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” recorded on Sept. 12, 2012, and aired on Sept. 23


    The Facts

    McConnell made his remarks in an interview that appeared in the National Journal on Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years after Obama was elected president. The interview took place on the eve the of the midterm elections.

    Apparently Trump is not competent enough to book a hotel in Hamburg for the G20 summit...completely forgot ...he's used to having his own hotel perks laid out for him and for a guy who builds hotels all over the globe, sadly has no hotel in Germany...they're putting him up in the Senate house and the staff in the consulate I believe.....what an entrance eh? Who's getting fired for this snaffoo?

    I would be embarrassed for a man that would type this. But I know you enjoy it. Why is question neither of us can answer.
