That's not the Way That Works, Not The Way Any of it Works

Let's make a deal.

Attorneys for President Trump are reportedly considering asking special counsel Robert Mueller to set a hard end date for his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election as one of the preconditions for an interview with president.

A prosecutor does not make a deal with the top guy being investigated.

There are still many more under you to enter a plea deal.

Then you can plead guilty.

Our President is known as a deal maker and good at it, so lets not worry.

Seems like there is a lot of things that are not quite working like they used to. Not sure if it started with Bush or Obama but it definitely got worse with Obama and it isn't getting any better with Trump. Having said that there isn't a straight laced honest man that will ever be able straighten up the mess in Washington, he is out numbered 500 to one from day one. They need to start a twelve step program, yea that's the ticket.

There was a straight-laced honest man who tried for 8 years.

Perhaps we could start with listing all the scandals under President Obama.

The lie! The lie! "You can keep your insurance if you like it" There was that one but it should have prefaced "If your insurance continues to offer it."

How many of his cabinet officers or appointments were removed or quit in disgrace in his 8 years?

Any of his campaign workers enter a guilty plea for a felony?

I don't blame President Obama for not cheating on Michelle though.

Melania is just too squinty-eyed from giving The Donald the evil eye for his many infidelities with other women.

That's enough to turn anyone off.

Excuse me but did you just call Obama a straight-laced honest man. I'm not sure I may have misinterpreted

[Fulltimer]

I did., but I may have missed some things.

You caught that too did you? That comment about straight laced and honest is too absurd for me to even argue with, he is too far gone to help. I wish I could see his POV but I will never get my head up my butt that far.

Seems to be nothing but the sound of crickets so far.

I know you guys really hated him so tell why.

[TxMusky]

No thanks, the fishing is bad enough over here without having to go visit a baited hole.

Miss him yet?

The good news is President Trump is hiring President Clinton's defense lawyer for the Impeachment hearings. Maybe, just maybe he has seen the letters writ large about his fate.

I’m a hunt & peck kind of typist. Following that troll would destroy my pecking finger.

Probably not.

Not that many in all those eight years and I already listed the most egregious of them.

[wacojoe]

Well, I didn’t read your list, so tell me, did you address “you can keep your doctor if you...,” Fast & Furious, IRS attacks on conservatives, the Administration’s Sec of State’s home server stuffed with beyond top secrets, Benghazi was caused by a video, taking a bogus unsubstantiated political dossier and making a special counsel investigation out of it, getting nearly a trillion dollar “stimulus” package and dumping it into union coffers with no visible results, spying on and tapping opposing reporters, funding numerous eco boondoggles which went bankrupt, etc. ...? And that’s off the top of my head. How many did you mention?

The keeping of your doctor bit. Nothing in the ACA would keep you from keeping your doctor. Keeping your insurance company? That is up to the insurance company, ACA did not nationalize them after all.

Fast and Furious. Yep, that one sucked.

IRS attacks on Conservatives. President Obama called IRS targeting “outrageous.” He said that the IRS will be held accountable. They were-Miller, Grant, and Lerner all fired.

No classified files were found on Clinton's server and no emails were found that contained classified information.
The crux of the matter is did Secretary Clinton mishandle classified information? Probably, though there is no concrete proof.
Has Donald Trump mishandled Classified information? Definitely. The number of people in his administration that have and are routinely handling classified material without security clearances is astounding.

Benghazi? For sure caused by the cutting of the funds that State had requested for security for its facilities but the confusion over what actually caused it was there as is in any events immediately following such an event.

The dossier as the basis for the FISA warrants has been thoroughly disproved by even Devin Nunes paper.

The Special Counsel was appointed by Trump appointee Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein to investigate possible coordination between associates of Donald Trump and Russians during the 2016 Presidential campaign and any other criminal actions he uncovers in the course of his investigation. The dossier had nothing to do with that formation of an investigation.

A Trillion dollar stimulus with no visible results? I would point out the growth in the economy from 2010 to the present as well as the drop in unemployment during the same time frame. Wages did not go up at the same rate as the other increases so apparently, unions did not enjoy the bulk of the increases from any stimulus spending.

Of the 1300 companies in the renewable energy space program of the US Department of Energy, only 1% went bankrupt. In the last decade, Solar has grown at an average rate of 68%.


There is a list on the other thread that contains mostly things President Obama said he would accomplish and did not and they are called his "lies". There are criticisms of his Administration that were caused by his not having a democratic majority in Congress. There are some valid things mentioned but they are all over his 8-year tenure.

You have actually mentioned more valid ones than the 100 listed in Dork's list but you did do them from your memory and not a copy/paste that is woefully out of date.

A fool and his myths are seldom parted, and it’s always a hoot to watch it in action.
