		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton...

- Yeah? - I don&#039;t know.

Come on, Clinton was the fun one, then came the boring one.

They&#039;re all boring.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>@m,

You&#039;re looking at this through a political lens. I&#039;m speaking historically. in 20 years no one will care who Donald&#039;s &quot;enemies&quot; were. and in 20 more beyond that no one will even remember. history has a way of changing a story and making it completely different from whatever people were saying at the time it happened.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Donald is now a whole new kind of legend in American lore, and will remain one long after we&#039;re all gone. &lt;/I&gt;

Agreed..

&lt;I&gt;unless he blows up the world or something, his presidencies, good or bad, will likely be a historical footnote next to the greatest legal escape in the history of mankind.&lt;/I&gt;

President Trump is blessed with having some of the STOOPIDEST and INCOMPETENT enemies anyone ever had..

When one assesses the utter moronic-ness of the convoluted legal machinations that Democrats had to pull off to get these ridiculous charges before a friendly court??

It&#039;s a wonder that the lawyers delivering these charges could do so with a straight face..

But the lawyers were actually playing to the court of public opinion.

The lawyers didn&#039;t realize the American people are a lot smarter...   :D</description>

it wasn&#039;t intended as an insult. no matter what happens in his second term, Donald is now a whole new kind of legend in American lore, and will remain one long after we&#039;re all gone. unless he blows up the world or something, his presidencies, good or bad, will likely be a historical footnote next to the greatest legal escape in the history of mankind.

		<description>Looks like President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is ALREADY making America great again..

And he hasn&#039;t even taken office yet..

It&#039;s being reported that hundreds of immigrants who had plans to illegally enter the US are turning back and going to return to their home countries..

Isn&#039;t President Trump simply AMAZING!!!???   :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Considering that the UBER NUCLEAR SHELLACKING of 2024 is a DIRECT result of Democrats nothing learning anything from 2016...&lt;/I&gt;

Well THAT was convoluted as hell... I was still sleeping when I wrote that..

I&#039;ll translate...

Considering that the UBER NUCLEAR SHELLACKING of 2024 is a DIRECT result of Democrats not learning anything from 2016...

There..  Much better...

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;Let&#039;s see what Democrats can learn from the next 2-4 years. &lt;/I&gt;

Considering that the UBER NUCLEAR SHELLACKING of 2024 is a DIRECT result of Democrats nothing learning anything from 2016...

I don&#039;t hold out much hope..

The FIRST step to actually LEARNING for Democrats is for Democrats to admit that they are the problem..

I don&#039;t see that happening any time soon..

		<description>JMCT, 

This question is for you and your complaint about &quot;firehose vitriol&quot;....

Why is it that you don&#039;t mind &quot;firehose vitriol&quot; when it&#039;s against President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Donald Trump and the GOP??

You only dislike &quot;firehose vitriol&quot; that SUPPORTS the freely and fairly TWICE elected President Of The United States..

Is this not blatant hypocrisy??

I don&#039;t mean to belabor the point, but since YOU brought it up.. 

Let&#039;s analyze this in depth..  :D

		<description>JL &amp; JMCT

Regarding your previous comments regarding President &lt;B&gt;ELECT&lt;/B&gt; Trump...

Let us not forget..

Prior to Jun of 2015, Democrats LOVED Donald Trump.  

Democrats heaped honor upon honor on Donald Trump alongside such luminaries as Rosa Parks.

Democrats said &lt;B&gt;&quot;Donald Trump is the best friend black Americans ever had..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Donald Trump was constantly going on THE VIEW and the harpies on THE VIEW loved him and welcomed him with open arms..

Given all these FACTS....

How can anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together NOT conclude that all the &quot;firehose vitriol&quot; against Donald Trump in the here and now is simply nothing more than political bigotry and has no real basis in fact or reality..

Just curious...  :D
