It is actually worse than that...

Many of these fools are actually public employees or members of the military who for some reason don't see that those tax dollars pay their salaries and create the organizations that they serve.

I know a customs agent who is utterly anti-government. Bet she thinks she's a libertarian. The cognitive dissonance makes my head ache.

An acquaintance that I know works for FEMA and is a specialist in radio communications and often travels to what most of us consider the armpits and assholes of the world. He's a right winger who would probably term himself a libertarian. He wouldn't know what actual libertarianism is if it bit him sharply on the ass. He will be able to retire at 55 with a federal pension. He is already getting a small VA payment per month for some small percentage of defined disability. I guarantee you he is incapable of perceiving the disconnect and he reliably votes for whatever Republican runs for whatever office.

These people don't think. A lot of people don't think. And it isn't getting better.

Very few people actually have any understanding of how our system of government is supposed to work and are completely okay with the grotesque abuses of power that Trump and his appointees commit on a daily basis.

The resemblance to WWE is coincidental

Alex Jones is the real deal. Not acting at all.

And these apologies will fix...?

Let’s see...Wells Fargo foreclosed on these folks houses which means that these people no longer own a home and their credit standing was seriously damaged.

Apologies are going to fix what? What repercussions will Wells Fargo experience? What penalties of any significance will the corporate entity or the executive decision makers incur?

With the large financial firms the penalty never seems to fit the crime.

I approve

couldn't add anything to this message. This author is spot on!

I've argued that he's broke

I’ve posted on a number of sites including Twitter that I believe that he’s broke—as in owes way,way more than his cash flow can support.

The Trump companies own some very expensive real estate that is in some cases we know is losing money (Turnberry).

Bravo

I wish I thought this had some impact with the traitorous scum. But I know it didn't.

But bravo for saying what had to be said.

Which is illegal

Funny the difference a single word makes.

Well, duh.

Of course, Trump knew everything.

That much has been obvious from the beginning. Can it be proved that he knew everything? That’s the question.

If Cohen will testify that this contention is true that will be a very big deal.

Trump has usurped the office of the Presidency

Trump cheated. The Republican have been cheating for decades. Our current government is illegitimate. All 3 branches have been captured by a corrupt minority which is anti-American, anti-democratic, and fundamentally corrupt.

Gingrich can't get anything right!

Problem is not that Trump is a golfer. The problem is that he was born into wealth, was never disciplined as a child. and then was allowed to play king as the owner of a privately held company where no one could ever tell him him no. He had sufficient wealth to weather one self inflicted disaster after another and a complete lack of anything resembling ethics so he had no trouble taking
piles of money from the domestic and Russian mafia.

No real golfer would ever drive a golf cart onto a green or completely ignore the rules. He’s just a piece of scum.
His failures have nothing at all to do with being a golfer.
