This pretty well sums up the cause and effect of American Politics.
Now where the hell do we go?

I am not so sure. I think Trump is right in that he has the media against him.
I have seen what the media can do to someone in their sights.
I am not so sure you have or not exactly as we have here.
There is often media bias of course but you never lived through the Lindy Chamberlain era. Rumour spread through the whole of Australian society by word of mouth, telephone etc
And the media set things ablaze in a way I have never seen before or since.
That woman was sent to prison for life with hard labour, with no body, no witnesses, no confession and no real evidence.
Turns out she was innocent and it took the closest thing to a miracle to prove it.
In a much, much lesser way, we had a politician like Trump in some respects and media and other politicians got onto her case so much she was jailed. She's not a really lovable personality but she was jailed on pretty trumped up charges and I doubt any politician from a major party would have faced trouble. They wanted her out, that is all.
The media is against Trump. They were for Obama. I am almost certain they would be giving Hilary an easier time.
I'm not saying he is great, just that I distrust the media and I am not sure he is as bad as they are making out.

You're going to be spewing out this left wing wank for the next 8 years aren't you?
Great. So he's unfit to serve. Fine. Now apply the same standards to all candidates.
I'm sure you have a big list to write out.
GO!!!

You're going to be spewing out this left wing wank for the next 8 years aren't you? No. Trump won't last another year. He'll either get bored with it, or his ego won't be able to accept the criticism any longer and he will simply resign. He does not have the stomach, nor the temperament for this job. And then...................WWPPD? What Would President Pence Do? |

I think this is part of the problem.
I would not be surprised if sections of the media are intent on bringing him down.
I'm not saying he's great, just that I don't think some other presidents were either but they got more respect and an easier time.
I don't trust the media.

Pence would be fine.
Good to see you haven't bought into the "Trump will be impeached" nonsense.
If he resigns - good on him. Australian politicians don't know how. I reckon he is already bored. Politics is argumentative but it isn't "fun". People who enjoy it are in my opinion, psychotic. I know a few of these people. They are political staffers and have no values other than power ought to be sought and consolidated.
"I don't trust the media."
Thank god for that. Fake news!

You cannot impeach someone for being stupid. Nor can you impeach someone for being intolerant.
Not at all................it takes a Blue Dress with stains on it......and then...........you never know if he will be removed or not.
Sorry............couldn't help myself.

The Clinton impeachment was nasty, shameful and petty.

The Clinton impeachment was nasty, shameful and petty. Yes sir.......but the good news is, it only cost US taxpayers 750 million dollars.......most expensive dress ever, I bet. |

At least someone was able to create value from that shameful waste of taxpayer's funds
