Plenty. Especially when they come from the 9th circuit. The most overturned in the country. Originally Posted by gfejunkie

Well said, but we all know that the 9 members of SCOTUS have leanings either left or right and they interpret the law based on those feelings. Everyone has an opinion as to the constitutionality of a law but it is only the opinion of our court system that really matters. All courts are empowered to validate the constitutionality of laws yet how many times are lower court rulings overturned by higher courts? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Until Trump came along with the will to oppose the Washington Machine of death and corruption we were all headed into the pits of hell.

And those in the Machine are trying anything they can imagine to destroy him, but nothing sticks because there is no substance to any charges.

I like the supposed sex charges. You have one girl who said she got a kiss on the mouth (OH MY GOD NOT A KISS!) and then the woman on the plane who says he started making out with her and for three full minutes she never said "stop." I guess she liked it.

Not one lawsuit against this rich billionaire. Not one settlement payed. Just a kiss and a girl who likes to make out with celebrities at 30,000 feet.

As far as us all being headed into the pits of hell. I think that that is a little bit of an over-dramatization. I believe our country to be #1 in the world. Certainly we can make improvements but I have traveled to quite a few foreign countries and although I find a handful to be places I could definitely live in if I had to leave the U.S., none match up to this country.
And the fact that Trump was able to defeat HilLIARy was a monumental first step in reversing that slide into the pits of hell ..... and pussycat is right, Trump is attacked daily because hell is exactly where the left wants this country to go to .....

If we were not able to create 11% of our economy out of thin air via debt from our Central Bank we would have to live with the actual consequences of having outsourced our labor to China, Mexico and Vietnam. And while all this is happening the leaders of both parties are pre-occupied with collecting billions in campaign contributions and living like Princes and Queens. Hilary's friends are all billionaires, and she loves her expensive clothes, houses, limos and private jets. Look at Obama, and how he spends all his time today jumping from one private island to the next, scuba diving with billionaires and enjoying his new estate in PALM SPRINGS. Sort of a long way from cold, dreary Chicago LOL where he'll never set foot again!! Contrast that to Jimmy Carter (I worked in his campaign in High School in Houston), and he lives right back in Plains, Georgia, where he grew up. Even Lyndon Johnson returned to his ranch in Stonewall. Hilary and her hubby are both mere crooks, and there was no real investigation into her felonious private server, which she installed specifically so that no one in our government would see what she was saying to anyone because mostly what she was doing was soliciting money for her "Foundation," which she and her useless idiot daughter live on for their private jets and steak lunches. New records show that about 90% of people who met with her when she was Secretary of State donated to her Foundation!! Some gave as little as $100,000, and others tens of millions. But almost every foreign person gave her money. And while she's feathering her nest with hundreds of millions the economy is going further and further down the tubes, the middle east has blown up because of her vote for the invasion of Iraq and her destruction of the state of Libya and Egypt and Syria. Every foreign country was able to hack into her private server so the Russians, Chinese and Romanians know everything she said but our own government doesn't have a clue. She's so stupid and incompetent that every single fucking thing she does backfires and craters! She can't do anything except solicit for bribes! "Stronger Together!"
Very well spoken sir ..... and yet even knowing all this ..... 62,453,516 thought she was qualified enough to be our President and they voted for her ..... even after, like you say, her actions concerning her private server did mean she had committed a felony (not that the lousy excuse for our FBI Director was going to do anything about it) ..... yet the left still screams "impeach Trump!" ..... just makes one shake their head in wonder sometimes .....

As the election in Alabama showed, voter turnout means everything. Trump and his team did a much better job of getting out the vote in 2016 than Clinton and her team did. In Alabama, Democrats got to the polls and Republicans did not.

I heard people asking that Obama be impeached. Nothing concrete. Same for those asking for Trump to be impeached. Nothing concrete.
I agree with you sir ..... I think that after 8 years of the worst and most corrupt president in our history (although pussycat made a strong case for that being George W Bush) millions of voters looked at Hilliary and the total wreck that she was and most of them saw her as 8 more years of what they suffered with Obama, and like me, they stood up and shouted "oh hell no!" ..... but yes it would be interesting if they could show (unbiased) data on how many voters voted against Clinton, and how many voted against Trump, simply as a protest vote against the other candidate .....

That's not a very intelligent statement. Were it not for anti-Clinton voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Trump would have lost the election. See how silly that is?

Trump won Wisconsin by 1% of the vote. Pennsylvania by 1.2%. Michigan by .3%. That''s how close the election was. Turn those states around and Clinton wins. Hardly a landslide as some have said.

As I've said several times, voter turnout decides the elections. The Trump team did a better job in those toss-up states in getting their supporters out to vote than the Clinton team so Trump earned the victory.

Either of those was the margin in the popular vote, yet the Hildabeast won both, as well as Miami, another city I could care less for.
