With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed!

This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

I think at this stage he must be hiding his phone from his daughter, so it doesn't get permanently taken from him.

To go back to the thread title:

Topic: What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Well, now we know.

*Can* you smell, not "do" you smell.  Dumbass.

I never watched wrestling.

Neither did I.

Dumbasses have no idea that the federal government is nothing more than:

1) your local DMV customer service desk, but with better pensions
2) 11Bravo and a shitload of carry-out menus
3) Chelsea Manning

I asked my crazy conspiracy nut co-worker who is the Deep State.

The Deep state is the NSA.

Wouldn't it be fitting karma if Roger Ailes's death were completely overshadowed by the end result of his life's work?

I just saw that he died.

The Trump presidency is a lot worse than my most pessimistic expectation.  I fully expected that it would be bad.  Just not this bad.

Anyone who expected him to "hire good people to run things" never watched a single episode of The Apprentice.  Even with all the benefits of editing Trump came off as a pompous ass who expected complete and unconditional obedience from the executives he dragged on the show.  Even if the people you hire are good, if you manage them like an autocratic buffoon, you won't get the goodness out of them.

Prior to the show, I was kind of neutral on Trump.  But after watching the first season of The Apprentice I really started disliking him.  Sometimes he'd come up with the most arbitrary shit to fire someone over, and I just couldn't stand his personality.

LOL, NSA.  Warcraft chimps hopped up on Moutaim Dew Code Red with clearances.

[Grey Fox]

That's the definition of the Deep State. Pencil pusher that control in the shadow.

No it's not.  NSA script kiddies and code monkeys don't declare states of emergency or invalidate elections. Stop being silly.

[Syt]

Libel laws for the media, backed by a friendly SCOTUS. Attempt to withdraw from international agreements. Increasing debt. Less support for disadvantaged groups.

Generally chaotic, disorganized, and stirring shit up if it's good for ratings.

I am sorry but up until now, watching old quasi-reality TV shows was not the way to study how US policy is made.

It basically means something that's really bad.

like having an affair in the oval office?

It's supposed to involve an abuse of public trust.  An affair would not ordinarily involve such abuse unless it involved diversion of public funds or (like Petraeus) unauthorized transmission of state secrets. 

But at the end of the day, its whatever Congress says it is.
