There is a basic going on out there in America…..
About 60% of Americans don’t support or approve of their President….
About 40% of Americans support or approve of him even if they KNOW he lies….
Donald Trump is dragging America BACK to that time when it was White and those NOT so?
Were kept at Arms length in employment, schools, places to live and anything else….
Republicans have decided that they will stand by while their party leader tries to co-op the nations Federal cops and Spy’s…..Something that one would find unheard of just 2 years ago….
The last 24 hours have produced two guys that Trump trusted to work for him closely being shown as crooks…
It doesn’t matter to that 40% of Trump supporters and right now to many Republican lawmakers….
They seem to be more afraid of Trump then standing up for the law….
Why were Trump’s supporters so convinced that Hillary Clinton was the more corrupt candidate even as reporters uncovered far more damning evidence about Trump’s foundation than they did about Clinton’s? Likely because Hillary’s candidacy threatened traditional gender roles. For many Americans, female ambition—especially in service of a feminist agenda—in and of itself represents a form of corruption. “When female politicians were described as power-seeking,” noted the Yale researchers Victoria Brescoll and Tyler Okimoto in a 2010 study, “participants experienced feelings of moral outrage (i.e., contempt, anger, and/or disgust).”
Cohen’s admission makes it harder for Republicans to claim Trump didn’t violate the law. But it doesn’t really matter. For many Republicans, Trump remains uncorrupt—indeed, anti-corrupt—because what they fear most isn’t the corruption of American law; it’s the corruption of America’s traditional identity. And in the struggle against that form of corruption—the kind embodied by Cristhian Rivera—Trump isn’t the problem. He’s the solution.

“The essentially uniform unwillingness of House and Senate Republicans to undertake any kind of meaningful oversight of the executive branch has left the country teetering in a state of perpetual crisis.”

Then why all this blabber here about how “strongly”these people “support“Trump or that these lawmakers “really” don’t like him?
Look the Only Facts that matter is that Republicans Overwhelmingly support this slimeball ,that they don’t give a damn what he says or does, that their so called “philosophy”(conservatism) has been exposed as junk,nothing more that irrelevant slogans , and that the whole thing is thoroughly disgusting.
So let’s deal in the reality shall we?And a little less of this cow manure about what “word” we want to attach to their “level” of support.,which has grown tiring and irritating.
They are For Donald Trump.Thats all we need to know.

Exactly Jack, one of the reasons I have been absent lately, other than my work load, is the endless focus on the “degrees” to which Republicans support Trump.
The silence from the GOP lawmakers on the “crimes” of Donald J. Trump is all we need to know about that fantasy.
The Republicans have rolled over and put their legs up in the air for Trump and this traitor fucks them everyday.
The only way to end this madness is to vote for Democrats this November.

Some New England Trump voters are unfazed
A day after legal reckonings for two of Donald Trump’s once-trusted aides, some in New England who voted for the president appear to be standing behind him.
A sampling of people interviewed Wednesday at a mall in Salem, just over the Massachusetts border, said the developments did not dramatically change their opinions of Trump and his policies….
