Trump is running the federal government like a company. It's also just like any federal job here. If the employee cannot do the job good enough to the satisfaction of the higher ups, he/she is gone. It's like an extended probation. It applied to me. It's currently applying to my daughter.

That's Trump's ONLY excuse when confronted about anything... That the confronter is either a Never Trumper, a Democrat, or he/she is working for Obama or Clinton. Case in point, the whistleblower. Although he hasn't any clue who it is, but the POTUS still incessantly accuse him/her as being a partisan.

If that was the case, the previous presidents wouldn't have cleaned house either. Federal communications (both DoD and civilian) are recorded and constantly monitored (including emails). Many in government seem to not know that and type up/talk in official channels about things that can incriminate them. They should have been more wary. But, that's why we know. Anything stored in a server can be exposed and compromised. As for the whistle blower we already know who it is.

I agree with you up to a certain extent. That said, whether NATO is still relevant or not is besides the point. It's not yet dissolved so the POTUS clearly, being the majority "share holder" (for lack of a better term), should be the one who is exhibiting leadership and providing guidance to member countries. But as I've said earlier, this president is a simpleton and can't grasp concepts and adult talking points without breaking down into insults or patting himself on the back.

If you look at the big picture, all the events that are unfolding is playing into Putin's wish list. Putin may not match the raw military might of the US, much less with NATO combined, but Putin is clearly ahead of his game with cyber warfare.... They succeeded in putting Trump in office n 2016 and evidence still shows their hands at the spigot, disseminating fake news and creating dirt on Trump's opponents.

As Pelosi rightfully asserted: "All roads with you [Trump] leads to Putin." Trump's a pawn in Putin's chess board.

But that's not exactly what is happening, is it?

Here we go. Russia is the bogeyman. Please. If anything, it's probably the Democrats who have their noses so deep in it. Every time Trump attempts to find out the origins of the Steele Dossier, roadblocks (aka delaying actions by the Democrats) keep coming up. Trump has been under a microscope for three years now. Now? It's the Democrats' turn to be examined.

Sorry if I don't have much trust for the MSM. They ceased to be the watchdogs of our society when they took sides. CNN, MSNBC, and the Washington Post are among those facing lawsuits because of their really shoddy journalism.

I liked his remark about the media being "bought and paid for."

DOJs IG Horowitz's report out now. He concluded that the FBI made "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in their applications to secretly monitor Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and agents "failed to meet the basic obligation" to ensure the applications were "scrupulously accurate." Seven significant omission were discussed by select Senators and Congressmen below.

In most other times, we'd be opposed to each other during an election that has a level and fair playing field (same rules and standards for all candidates, impartial and neutral media). If his candidate wins? I'd accept the election results, have a beer with Jimmy Dore (and company), hope for the best. If mine won? He'd do the same.

But, we both know the playing field hasn't been level for two presidential elections now. It was subtle early on. Now? It's blatantly plain as day.
