That is modern day politics but certainly not the way it used to be...... the political world has devolved terribly.
And because of this good people who would be good leaders rarely enter because it is just not worth it..... and that is the real tragedy of
the new "fair game' politics.

I'd like to see politicians stop making money from overseas deals and then switching lanes if they think someone sees that
the game of I'll grease your palms if you grease mine, has almost made butter in short supply
well the Republicans did try to impeach Clinton with actual EVIDENCE and la hoity toity Pelousi went all righteous
now she is trying to impeach with NO evidence and she is as convincing as the snake in the garden....in other words, the gullibles and already deceived are eating the fruit
the President is allowed a private life or would you like cameras in the living quarters ?

When Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States on November 4, 2008, he left behind an incredible campaign that used social media like no other. Through the tactics of social media and mobilization of the general public online, Obama was able to raise awareness and financial support of his campaign. While Obama was able to use over 15 social networking sites to have over 5 million online friends.[1]
The topic of Barack Obama's usage of social media in his political campaigns, including podcasting, Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, and YouTube has been compared to the adoption of radio, television, MTV, and the Internet in slingshotting his presidential campaign to success and as thus has elicited much scholarly inquiry.[2] In the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama had more "friends" on Facebook and Myspace and more "followers" on Twitter than his opponent John McCain.[3]
Obama's usage of the wider Internet has often since been compared to Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy's adaption of the radio and television mediums, respectively, in the history of communication between the White House and the American Public.

Well If I extreme anything it's extremely middle of the road. 1/2 way between capitolism and socialism is where I'll stay. I oppose both radical extremes. Remember Saul was chosen to lead Israel to punish it. Even God withdrew the anointing and chose a Sheppard boy to usurp him. The radicalization of the (not so) democratic party is the natural backlash of the economy and bankers turning this nation into a culture of debtors and everybody on the right seems to be OK with it, as if the profitability is more important than the Health, Education and welfare of the working class. Do you not think the beast will be a banker? Or do you not care?

He said it to a greedy, scoundrel and profit minded traitor named Judas that promptly sold him to the establishment for 30 pieces so silver. We chose a leader to work for us. Not as a king but as a servant to the people. The precedent has been long established for the President to unencumber themselves from profit minded activities and serve us, voluntarily, for a term of four years at the rate of "$400,000 per year, including a $50,000 expense allowance, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and a $19,000 entertainment account. The president's salary is set by Congress..." https://www.thoughtco.com/presidential-pay-and-compensation-3322194
We expect honesty and transparency for that much money. Sure there are other jobs that pay more without as much expectations, responsibility, accountability or negative publicity. Maybe Trump made a mistake!

ho hum, when I was young, almost everyone had in their house-hold had a pictured-frame of the (10) Commandments
upon a wall somewhere, it was just 'normal'!
in grade school, before class started, we recited The Lord's Prayer, and Pledge of Alligence, - it was required
and we certainly obeyed what we were told to do, without any objection, and for myself, it made me feel good
and a part of something that I didn't even understand -go figure???...
when I think about this, and now seeing what their point was, the manipulation, it makes me very sad!!!

Why do nosy little people think they have to know what someone's tax returns are? The IRS says he is legal, don't they? So then, what is your interest? In serious business, disclosing details of your operation to your competitors can be very detrimental to you. And his children now own those businesses. Is it your desire to not only rob him of his lawful and rightful presidency, but to also destroy his children's businesses if you can?
You worried he is in bed with Putin? This President has financially hurt Russia more than any other President who ever lived. Worried about China? Same thing. Ukraine? They have nothing to offer.
I think it is simple jealousy of a man who has accomplished way more than any of us could even dream of.

do you also believe in the tooth fairy and santa?
the dems have created a scenario from which they can no longer extract themselves and are left now with nothing but to fall on their own swords
glib remarks such as simply stating Trump or anyone else is guilty is less than intelligent if you want to use words like that
it isn't over until it's over and it isn't over
you may end up gnashing your teeth before it's over
pelousi certainly will...she needs to remove her dentures
