Still, the bigger question is about what went on in Niger and why -- will the Republicans in Congress actually take up the investigation with the same vigor they pursued Clinton over the faux Benghazi story??

Of course not. And will their base care? 'Course not. It comes down to tribalism and as far as these folks are concerned, their tribe can do no wrong, regardless of how wrong they do.

-C!

*A pregnant war widow. Trump knows how to pick 'em. All this lady needed was to have a medical condition and be out selling matches in a blizzard on Christmas Eve to be a more "perfect" target. Slimy moron.

James J. - Trump technically didn't sink so low, I believe, because he was pretty much there from the campaign and from Day One. But he does have to set himself up as superior to every action, every word, every single thought - and had Clinton been president recently enough, I'll be Trump would be fighting against him too.

This egotistical ass has to prove himself superior to everyone in everything at all times, to prove himself faultless and superior constantly.

Hell, I'll bet Trump's golf handicap is worse than Obama's too. But at least Trump is constantly working to improve that.

After reading a few op ed pieces about Trump and thinking about the subject for a while, I think he should be made to take an Alzheimer’s test. There are starting to be too many instances of him showing no recollection of what he has previously said either through changing what he thinks was said, just repeating it or flat out denial.

We are saying this is just ego. I’m thinking it is looking too much like my mother in law 10 years ago when we started to twig she had early on set Alzheimer’s.

These are the gatekeepers, and they couldn't even manage a simple phone call.

Would this be the same armed forces that threw their love and support behind draft dodgers Bush and Cheney and shunned a military hero named John Kerry?

Let me say it plainly; Trump is showing contempt and disrespect for at least part of the military, and I believe he is very irritated that they are not subject to his complete control. I can't remember any other president who had this attitude toward the armed forces. That's my point. I may be mis-remembering, but I don't recall Bush, Cheney, or Kerry acting this way - nor receiving disfavor from the military in return.
