What a joke. Trump's life has been an open ******* book. They knew more about Trump's past before he got into the race than anybody knows about Obama's past after 8 years in office.The Washington Post has assigned 20 reporters to look into every aspect of Donald Trump's past as the presumptive GOP nominee seeks to become the next president of the United States, famed Post associate editor, Bob Woodward, said Wednesday.
"There's a lot we don't know," Woodward told the National Association of Realtors convention, according to The Washington Examiner. "We have 20 people working on Trump, we're going to do a book, we're doing articles about every phase of his life."
So the media should cover up Trump's blunders?
We've entered a nasty and scary chapter of the USA. I'll tell you to pound sand if you don't believe these same acts would be going on if Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, or Ted Cruz had been elected.
No. They weren't chaos candidates. They weren't insulting provocateurs. Trump has brought most of this on himself. He's not a God, he has faults, and they are many and they are great. Combine that with an unwillingness to accept that fact and this is what you get. If you didn't see this coming, that's on you. Don't blame everyone else.
You are delusional if you believe this. Completely. One only has to look at what the media and Democrats have done to Republican candidates and politicians for the past 20 years...Herman Cain, Ben Carson, George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and dozens of others. I suppose you would say Ben Carson is an insulting provocateur. Or Allen West is. The minute there is a candidate set to run in an election with R next to his or her name, it's an onslaught. WashPo and others sick legions of reporters on them attempting to dig up or create dirt. Evidence being WashPo putting 20 reporters dedicated to attacking Trump during the election. Or CNN trying to make a story out of ice cream. Or the press going ape **** that Trump went to dinner soon after the election and didn't invite the press corps. Those last two examples show the absurdity of the bald-face tactics the media is playing - destroy at all costs. The suit is irrelevant.
It's a machine. A long standing machine. To claim otherwise is fool-hardy.

BREAKING: Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is breaking with her party and calling on Congress to consider letting a special prosecutor take over the investigation into President Trump’s ties to Russia.
The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee demanded Tuesday that the FBI turn over all documents it has about communications between President Donald Trump and former FBI Director James Comey.
Chairman Jason Chaffetz of Utah sent the letter (PDF) a few hours after The New York Times first reported that Trump allegedly asked Comey to end the FBI's investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned in February following reports that he misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
NBC News has independently confirmed the Times report, along with additional details. Multiple sources with firsthand knowledge of the memo said it was part of a paper trail that Comey built to document what he believed to be Trump's efforts to derail the FBI's investigation of alleged Russian ties to his presidential campaign.
In an interview with NBC News, Chaffetz said that if the memo exists and accurately recorded the conversation, "that seems like an extraordinary use of influence to try to shut down an investigation being done by the FBI."
Chaffetz tweeted later: "I have my subpoena pen ready."
House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin — a Republican, like Trump and Chaffetz — appeared to endorse Chaffetz's demand for the FBI documents.
"We need to have all the facts, and it is appropriate for the House Oversight Committee to request this memo," said AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan.
Dude. You seriously can't differentiate Trump from the others? THAT is delusional.
The GW administration wasn't even a decade ago. Everybody remembers it well. The media was brutal on him, both when he deserved it and when he didn't, but there's been more chaos in Trump's first three months than GWs entire eight years. How ironic GWs dad and brother (along with Kasich and others) saw it coming and realize what is happening while you refuse.
Get a grip.

We are entering a very dangerous time. We all know that the Dems and the Repubs play dirty, and are unscrupulous in their tactics. But if there is even a hint of this Congress railroading this President without a proper , and fair, process, it may be the first steps of another civil war. And it won't be a peaceful one.

Tibs, seriously, I won't consider your posts, links or replies.
Due process in the media? So don't report on investigations, they should wait for formal criminal charges? Maybe they shouldn't report on Trump's own tweets as well? Trump's lawyers would really appreciate that.
Please explain to me where I mentioned that Trump was like the others... It doesn't matter who is in the suit.
It's Trump. Who were the Republicans that warned against Bush, Romney, Cruz. Why was it widely speculated that the Republicans wouldn't honor a Trump nomination? You've read too much fake news, you're making up your own reality.
The term Watergate, by metonymy, has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such “dirty tricks” as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides also ordered investigations of activist groups and political figures, using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
I actually think if Trump is impeached, the country will go further right under a leadership of Pence with a Republican congress. I guess the left hopes an impeachment hearing will destroy the Republicans so much that it will flop over congress to Democrat in 2018 and Pence will never get his chance to govern without their obstructionism.
All this stuff about Trump is inside the beltway. The Russia thing to me if far fetched (and really irrelevant compared to the true DNC e-mails). The discussion of the laptop restriction on flights with Russia and the release of "some" classified or restricted information (maybe pin pointed the specific country of most concern out of the 8 hit with the restriction) is within the President's power to negotiate and discuss in the context of fighting terror.
Everything else we talk about. All the "scandals" are within the beltway. Washington elite continually chipping away and attacking Trump at every turn. Poking the bear whenever they can. Releasing almost any/all information to the press behind his back. This is from McCain and Comey and Ryan and CIA and inside every executive branch administration.
The conspiracy is not about Trump's mental state or his ability to do the job. If you look at every order and memorandum and law he's helped push through - nothing is THAT outside the ordinary. His foreign policy is actually an improvement over what we had.
The conspiracy is the unthinkable power Washington insiders have to almost tear down anyone who infringes on their power or fraternity. It can be a relentless assault when there are as many "loose lips" in Washington that have decided Trump is the devil incarnate and an enemy of the status quo.
