Yeah, right ... ask Hillary how much of his money she gave back.Probably not. Just about everyone Weinstein gave money to has given the money back. His supporters didn't make him a role model for their children by making him president.Does the Weinstein cover up lead lefties into doubting the democrat establishment?
The right is making a mistake trying to hold on to Weinstein considering they put a man who admits to assaulting women for "fun" and who is a serial adulterer into office.
I already posted links showing he paid 1.4 million since 1990.Yeah, right ... ask Hillary how much of his money she gave back.Probably not.

Are we supposed to now pretend that ALL those liberals who knew what was going on are just totally shocked about his behavior?
Give me a break.
His own Secretary of State called him a moron. Why would the former CEO of possibly the largest oil company in the world be so unprofessional that he would call his boss a moron? There is only one reason he would do something like that.
So what did Trump do to counter such a charge? He talks about his IQ? He starts calling names? Liddle instead of Little.
Trump lashes 'Liddle Bob Corker' as senators call for calm
He's got North Korea.
He's trying to help Iran make nuclear weapons.
He even talked about Harvey Weinstein. Remember that Trump was going to sue a dozen women? What happened? Remember, he said he could grab them and forcibly kiss them all because he's a star?
Why get involved with that?
He sent is Vice President to spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars to walk out of a football game when no one else did and it was the two worst teams in the league.
Then he's throwing paper towels. And when his followers say they saw no problem, I don't believe them.
He mispronounces Puerto Rico again and again. And he thinks it's funny.
He says to the people inside a shelter, look at all the people who came to see me. It was in a shelter.
All those followers can't all be morons. For some, doubt has to be creeping in. It just has to be.
Donald Trump sets a new dishonesty record: 40 false claims last week | Toronto Star
40 new trump lies - Google Search
When they say it's fake news who lies, not Trump. I don't believe it anymore that they believe he's truthful. It's too easy to check. They can't NOT know. It's just not possible.
It would be nice if one of them could explain in a coherent manner why they continue to supports someone his Secretary of State called a moron. Who then, spends the rest of the week, acting like a moron.
Donald Trump broke the conservative mediaFor the most part, Republicans and the conservative media existed symbiotically. Republicans used their newfound apparatus as a vehicle to drive home their message to supporters. Simultaneously, the conservative news media sought to lock in its audience by characterizing the mainstream press as an industry comprising dishonest liberals — something with which the GOP was more than happy to go along.
The GOP That FailedAs Conor Friedersdorf wrote last year in the Atlantic: “the elements of the party that sent pro-Trump signals to primary voters—Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Jeff Sessions, Rick Scott, Jan Brewer, Rudi Guiliani, Sarah Palin, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Joe Arpaio Breitbart.com, The Drudge Report, The New York Post, are simply more powerful, relative to National Review, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and other ‘Trump is unacceptable’ forces, than previously thought.”
I always assumed it was because the foil is worn shiny side out.By This Time, doubt has to be creeping into the minds of Trump supporters. How can it not?
... and this is supposed to be a bad thing?theres still a small percentage (less than 30%) of RW idiots that still believe his shit tastes like honey, and there always will be regardless what he does or who he does it to. Inbred partisan hacks take great pride in being an inbred partisan hack.
The latest figures include 27% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 46% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19. (see trends).

More than anything current Trump supporters are defending their mistake. They know deep down that they have made a yuuuuge mistake, but if they openly & publicly admit it, they are also admitting their political ignorance and that is something they won't do on any political board or facebook page. So they will continue to defend their mistake, and often times trying to use deflection towards something else to ease the pain of their own political ignorance.
Their ignorance is astounding. There's a reason for their ignorance. They have lived in a right wing media bubble for decades. FOX NEWS--Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other right wing talk show hosts that have convinced them that all other news is FAKE news.

Simultaneously, the conservative news media sought to lock in its audience by characterizing the mainstream press as an industry comprising dishonest liberals — something with which the GOP was more than happy to go along.
So this is how Trump became the poster boy of the Republican party

Which is why Trump supporters seem so ignorant to others:
"The only thing that might be more perplexing than the psychology of Donald Trump is the psychology of his supporters. In their eyes, The Donald can do no wrong. Even Trump himself seems to be astonished by this phenomenon. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters,
OK? It’s, like, incredible.”
Some believe that many of those who support Donald Trump do so because of ignorance — basically they are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand. When Trump tells them that crime is skyrocketing in the United States, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they simply take his word for it.
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect:
The seemingly obvious solution would be to try to reach those people through political ads, expert opinions, and logical arguments that educate with facts. Except none of those things seem to be swaying any Trump supporters from his side, despite great efforts to deliver this information to them directly.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. This creates a double burden.
Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb."
A neuroscientist explains what may be wrong with Trump supporters’ brains
Again the reason why they're so politically inept--is because the ONLY thing they will listen too or read comes from right wing news sites. IOW they are filled 3 or more daily hours of right wing hyperbole, half truths, misconceptions and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capitial building from floor to ceiling--which makes them "believe" that they are experts in the political arena--when they haven't graduated politics 101. Most of them do not understand basic civics. They have been preyed upon by right wing sites and hosts--and all for nothing more than ratings and those obscene profit breaks.
Since 2010 the above have attacked Establishment Republicans and set the stage for Donald Trump. Against all warnings about Trump from prominent Republicans these right wing talk show hosts convinced their audiences that Trump was the non Establishment candidate and promoted him to no end.
"The bombastic diatribe against the so-called GOP establishment was nothing new from Hannity. For years, he had cast himself as an outside crusader defending conservative values and principles from a liberal president and, even worse, cowardly Republicans who would allegedly bow to that president's demands. But in 2016, the criticism from Hannity and a vocal faction of the conservative news media reached a fever pitch. The occasional needling of Republicans morphed into full-blown, searing criticism. Even figures like Ryan and Cruz, considered by most to have iron-clad conservative credentials, were no longer safe.

Now they have effectively obliterated the entire Republican party.

Donald Trump broke the conservative mediaFor the most part, Republicans and the conservative media existed symbiotically. Republicans used their newfound apparatus as a vehicle to drive home their message to supporters. Simultaneously, the conservative news media sought to lock in its audience by characterizing the mainstream press as an industry comprising dishonest liberals — something with which the GOP was more than happy to go along.
So this is how Trump became the poster boy of the Republican party
The GOP That FailedAs Conor Friedersdorf wrote last year in the Atlantic: “the elements of the party that sent pro-Trump signals to primary voters—Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Jeff Sessions, Rick Scott, Jan Brewer, Rudi Guiliani, Sarah Palin, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Joe Arpaio Breitbart.com, The Drudge Report, The New York Post, are simply more powerful, relative to National Review, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and other ‘Trump is unacceptable’ forces, than previously thought.”
Which is why Trump supporters seem so ignorant to others:
"The only thing that might be more perplexing than the psychology of Donald Trump is the psychology of his supporters. In their eyes, The Donald can do no wrong. Even Trump himself seems to be astonished by this phenomenon. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters,
OK? It’s, like, incredible.”
Some believe that many of those who support Donald Trump do so because of ignorance — basically they are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand. When Trump tells them that crime is skyrocketing in the United States, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they simply take his word for it.
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect:
The seemingly obvious solution would be to try to reach those people through political ads, expert opinions, and logical arguments that educate with facts. Except none of those things seem to be swaying any Trump supporters from his side, despite great efforts to deliver this information to them directly.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. This creates a double burden.
Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning puts it in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb."

Again the reason why they're so politically inept--is because the ONLY thing they will listen too or read comes from right wing news sites. IOW they are filled 3 or more daily hours of right wing hyperbole, half truths, misconceptions and enough conspiracy theories to fill the capitial building from floor to ceiling--which makes them "believe" that they are experts in the political arena--when they haven't graduated politics 101. Most of them do not understand basic civics. They have been preyed upon by right wing sites and hosts--and all for nothing more than ratings and those obscene profit breaks.
Since 2010 the above have attacked Establishment Republicans and set the stage for Donald Trump. Against all warnings about Trump from prominent Republicans these right wing talk show hosts convinced their audiences that Trump was the non Establishment candidate and promoted him to no end.
"The bombastic diatribe against the so-called GOP establishment was nothing new from Hannity. For years, he had cast himself as an outside crusader defending conservative values and principles from a liberal president and, even worse, cowardly Republicans who would allegedly bow to that president's demands. But in 2016, the criticism from Hannity and a vocal faction of the conservative news media reached a fever pitch. The occasional needling of Republicans morphed into full-blown, searing criticism. Even figures like Ryan and Cruz, considered by most to have iron-clad conservative credentials, were no longer safe.
Donald Trump broke the conservative media
Now they have effectively obliterated the entire Republican party.
All Along I Thought Trump Wasn’t a Conservative/Republican, But Now I Realize I’m Not
Y'all need to grow up ---- the adults are in charge now, and all the whining in the world isn't going to help you.
Hmm, not quite yet. But, with every passing day, as his own staff and party maneuver to further castrate and isolate Trump, we're getting closer.
Oh, well then, I guess that settles that....nothing to see here, folks....special investigator? Pfft. Passing laws to limit his power? Just for fun. Limiting the information that gets to him? Har har, just a prank. Keeping the media away from him as much as possible? He's probably just too busy for that."The adults are in charge now"His own Secretary of State called him a moron. Why would the former CEO of possibly the largest oil company in the world be so unprofessional that he would call his boss a moron? There is only one reason he would do something like that.
So what did Trump do to counter such a charge? He talks about his IQ? He starts calling names? Liddle instead of Little.
Trump lashes 'Liddle Bob Corker' as senators call for calm
He's got North Korea.
He's trying to help Iran make nuclear weapons.
He even talked about Harvey Weinstein. Remember that Trump was going to sue a dozen women? What happened? Remember, he said he could grab them and forcibly kiss them all because he's a star?
Why get involved with that?
He sent is Vice President to spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars to walk out of a football game when no one else did and it was the two worst teams in the league.
Then he's throwing paper towels. And when his followers say they saw no problem, I don't believe them.
He mispronounces Puerto Rico again and again. And he thinks it's funny.
He says to the people inside a shelter, look at all the people who came to see me. It was in a shelter.
All those followers can't all be morons. For some, doubt has to be creeping in. It just has to be.

When they say it's fake news who lies, not Trump. I don't believe it anymore that they believe he's truthful. It's too easy to check. They can't NOT know. It's just not possible.
It would be nice if one of them could explain in a coherent manner why they continue to supports someone his Secretary of State called a moron. Who then, spends the rest of the week, acting like a moron.
More than anything current Trump supporters are defending their mistake. They know deep down that they have made a yuuuuge mistake, but if they openly & publicly admit it, they are also admitting their political ignorance and that is something they won't do on any political board or facebook page. So they will continue to defend their mistake, and often times trying to use deflection towards something else to ease the pain of their own political ignorance.

Oh palease.
well the reason why hitlery lost and I will leave it there.What did I write that is not factual?and only facts, that's why we insist you all post them. but alas, it never happens. just conjectureOh dear God the obsession you idiots bear blinds you to facts!that hitlery isn't president.By what metric? He is dividing his own party, thus crippling his political clout on Capital Hill, his staff has a higher turnover rate than a McDonald's near a community college, he is under investigation by a Special Counselor and is held in contempt by most of our allies and disdain by our adversaries. He has yet to pass any significant legislation, repeal and replace or build his wall.Trump is proving everyday to be a magnificent president and an awesome leader. ....
What has he done aside from tweeting and wrecking havoc? He has signed Executive Orders. Remember how "I have a pen and a phone!" was received by your ilk? Karma is indeed a bitch.
russia russia, it's all we hear about cause that is all being discussed on most MSM sites. so you want people to pay attention promote his business and not lies. it's simple.Trump?
Let's start with why he was hired.
He promised to curtail an overreaching, out-of-control government. He promised to break up the "professional politician" cartel in Washington. He promised to crush the Deep State in the government. He promised to cut back regulations. He promised tax cuts. He promised cheaper healthcare. He promised a sane selection for the Supreme Court. He promised to create an environment conducive to investment in the US. He promised to evict the liberal-elitist class from our government.
Has he done all those? No.
Has he done some of them? Yes.
Has he made efforts on others? Yes.
Most of all, he has absolutely derailed and discombobulated the progressive takeover of our rights and freedoms. He has moved to return the right of individuals to determine their own direction and their own fate. More that that, he has absolutely driven leftists like the OP bonkers. He is the master magician - while liberals stomp and yell and piss and moan about what he says/tweets, they aren't paying any attention to what he does. He just keeps marching on.
What not to like?
There is the whole deal, Quote( they aren't paying any attention to what he does) that's what scares the rest of us. that ears are turned to the babble, not to the true problems that face us all. left, right & those stuck in the middle.

All you have on Clinton is speculation. Meanwhile, your boy is proving to be the moron his Sec. of State says he is.
Just being there does not make him great. It makes him an anomaly. Being great means acting great, doing great and believing great.
