Corruption in high places

[MoreCoffee]

The first two years of Donald's presidency is nearly over and the house of representatives is changing hands from a Republican majority to a Democrat majority while the Senate remains Republican. What we've seen in two years of Donald is corruption, incompetence, support for wicked dictators and overt murderers, and now we have the prospect of Democrat chaired House committees investigating the corruption in the white house. What will come of it all. Will Vladimir Putin and the murderous Saudi prince be exposed and Donald's complicity with them?

Tune in as the year advances and see what new adventures the USA voting public will experience.

To be fair you need to see the good things the President has done for the United States:
Here are 10: The 10 Best things Trump has done in 2018

Here are 20: I'd welcome Donald Trump's impeachment, but he has gotten these 20 things right

PLUS...I filled my gas tank in my car yesterday with gas that cost $1.99 a gallon. Nice.

I wish gas was that cheap but we have the highest gas tax in the nation. I agree that he has done some good things but his bad far outweighs the good.

In the new year, super-intelligent flying gorillas from the planet Xork will conquer Earth, install Michael Moore as the king of the world, cause the Detroit Lions to win the Super Bowl, and reveal the true author of the Book of Mormon.

...if this thread is supposed to be about exchanging whatever fantasies appeal to us, this one is more interesting than that failed one the Socialists in Congress have been spinning for two years. That's nothing to bother with when NEW is supposed to be the idea here!

You can't blame the President for states charging their own taxes...such as on gas.

I wasnt thinking of that but rather immigration which is a disaster at this point, shutdowns 3 so far, Russia and of course lets not forget his trade war with China, his rotating advisors many of which have left over disagreeing with him especially his military people, Syria and his treatment of allies, his lies, his insults, and so much more

Why not (wink wink)?

Almost nothing else that he has been charge with by the people who vowed to do anything and everything in order to overthrow the government is true. So why not "Donald raised all your state and local taxes, too!!"

The hard truth is that most people can see through the phonies and partisans who write the endless hate messages on social media. This seems to make them even angrier and to look for even more fabulous insult words and lies. The average American now tunes them out, knowing that it is all contrived. And just take a look at the people they follow as their intellectual spokesmen--Maxine Waters, various basketball players, stand-up comedians, and wannabe politicians.

To rave on about the President's virtue when these are the leaders and the scriptwriters for the opposition is a joke, pal..

Not my leaders and truth is still truth unless you want to spin it to not mean what it means, Trump is a master at that. What is a joke is having a leader that cant tell the truth

That's about what I expect from your posts.

Why not, if they are Republicans

His habit of telling lies was well known before he was elected. I doubt that his supporters will hold any lie against him no matter how egregious and should it be proven that he did in fact take bribes or other inducements before and after his election many of his supporters will not turn against him. He has a core of supporters who will support him no matter what he does - as he himself said he could shoot a person and kill that person in Time Square in front of a multitude of witnesses and he would still have supporters. If you think of the images in Revelation then some of the beasts may be close to being a description of him.

Here's his new year tweet LOL

Turning a blind eye to the murderous actions of the Saudi’s is too high of a price to pay to get gasoline at a lower cost.

The US doesn't get oil from Saudi Arabia or any Middle East country.
That being said, the ruling party in Saudi holds to a very literal reading of the Quran and the Hadith. It is extremely oppressive.

You're mistaken.

How much petroleum does the United States import and export?

In 2017, the United States imported approximately 10.14 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of petroleum from about 84 countries. Petroleum includes crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids, refined petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel fuel, and biofuels including ethanol and biodiesel. Crude oil accounted for about 79% of U.S. gross petroleum imports in 2017 and non-crude oil petroleum accounted for about 21% of gross petroleum imports.

In 2017, the United States exported about 6.38 MMb/d of petroleum to 186 countries, of which about 18% was crude oil and 82% was non-crude oil petroleum. The resulting net imports (imports minus exports) of petroleum were about 3.77 MMb/d.

The top five source countries of U.S. petroleum imports in 2017 were Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, and Iraq. ( https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6 )

The Saudi's have been engaging in murderous actions for 1600 years now...

Is Trump supposed to cover his upraised nostrils with a perfumed finger and do a Prom Queen Exit Stage Left departing from the Saudi's holding the center stage??

Hillary wanted war with Russia with a weaponized State Department, CIA and IRS suppressing political opposition and truth...

We have the President we deserve...

Antivenoms are often venomous...

He has not weaponized the secret services of the USA, as did the Left...

Do you have the exact numbers at hand, Arsenios? I'd love to check them out. This fact seems kind of counter-intuitive, at least to me.
