Trump was an anomaly and somehow squeaked past the financial guardians at the gates who started celebrating too early in 2016.  Hubris.  Lesson learned.  It will not be allowed to happen again.
 

Is this the same Trump who pushed for and signed into law huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and corporations? And who wants to reduce their taxes even more? Who has put lobbyists from the oil & gas industries in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency?

If the networks televise this...they are complicit in breaking the law. Let Fox be the only one...he wants attention...starve him of it

Perhaps but if they don't it feeds into the insane 45 propaganda about biased mainstream media. So they can't win either way so they definitely should show it, warts and all and boy does he have big warts. Tragically he is still legally the president, and even if he is worst president in American history that thinks he is above all laws, the constitution, and all norms, he should still be treated as such until he refuses to leave office after he loses.

If basement hidin biden can accept his nomination from the basement of his home, then President Trump can accept his nomination from his home!

It's not legally the same thing in any way.

He will continue to draw criticism as he continue to disregard the normal decency, common sense, rules and laws. He has a mental problem and increasingly untethered from reality and the gap between his world and reality is disturbingly widening. 

Yes. Obviously. As horrific as he has already become, just imagine him in a second term if he is no longer the scrutiny of a future election. Of course he recently mentioned going for an illegal third term which he has done repeatedly. He's a wannabe fascist dictator and it's clear if he loses he will try to avoid leaving. We've never had anyone nearly as horrible, un-American, and anti-democracy in the white house. Elections have consequences.

But it’s not his White House, it belongs to the nation.

Yes incumbents are supposed to use the white house for governing and the people's business. All the people. It's not supposed to be used for partisan campaign events.

Because it's against the law! As mentioned, the 1939 Hatch Act, bars government employees from using official authority to interfere with the outcome of an election and although he himself is exempt, his staff are not.

Why can't you Trump fans understand this? As much as you wish he was and as much as he thinks he is, Trump is not above the law.  

He kind of is above the law now and that's scary. He can't be indicted unless he leaves office. Hint hint -- he really really doesn't want to leave office.

The GOP should have had their convention first, now they will just copy what the Dems did.  At least Michelle O spoke on the first night, gives Melania more time to memorize it.

IMOP  !  The GOP will be using a successful  policy agenda while stressing the importance of law and order in America's streets! Maybe they will be speaking on  the Durham report .It might be out by than,its expected, very soon.

 

I haven't watched the convention of the radical left.so I have no way of knowing ,did they show any of the unifying peaceful protesting of the last 3 months, on the jumbo screen!

OSHKOSH, Wis. (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would accept the Republican nomination for a second term during a live speech at the White House next week, confirming plans that have drawn criticism from Democrats and even some fellow Republicans.

Surprise, surprise, surprise, NOT.

If the nomination was delivered on tablets of stone from Mt Sinai, he's still be criticised.

The only advertising the GOP need to use for the campaign is to show clips of the riots and destruction in Portland.

Indeed they are not. I'd rather have Biden as leader of the free world than her. He'll not, IMO, do as much damage as she.

And his true acolytes like yourself can never criticise him. So whilst we are talking about obediance....... 

Neither can Trump-haters such as yourself find anything to praise him.  Rather you seek only to find fault.  Isn't that obedience as well?  Why should we air whatever displeasure we have about Trump?  It would just be akin to enabling someone's sickness.

So those who disagree with Trump

and the direction he is taking America are ‘Trump Haters’ and suffering a sickness.

 

I guess it makes a change from ‘Anti American’ or ‘Traitors’.

Let's get this straight, there is no leftist party in the USA, radical, or not.

You have a right-wing party and a centrist party, though both parties umbrellas are wider than most.

Those "leftist" policies like universal health care, paid holidays, free education, abortion and gun-control are all mainstream policies that have been embraced by all parties in most industrialized countries.

[KarenBravo]

Oh dear...the last volume of the senate (Republican led) investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election has turned up even more damning evidence of collusion between Trump, Stone and Manafort with a proven Russian intelligence officer.

And now Trump wants a face-to-face meeting with Putin. Draw your own conclusion as to the reason why.....

Which will surely become a face-to-err, um, other body part encounter.

Don't wear your best trousers, Donnie, the knees will be ruined.

 

Go back and look at the infamous Helsinki encounter.  The two emerge together after 2 hours in that room.  Tell me which one looks like they just experienced a "release."

 

 

[KarenBravo]

Are Rex Tillerson, Anthony Scaramuchi, Generals Mattis, Kelly and Mcmaster lying about Trump?

Many other generals and an admiral that were not in the cabinet have spoken out against Trump.

Americans idolize their military, maybe they should be believed?

You missed the entire point I was making in response to johnnybangkok, Chomper.  It went over your head.  All you see were "accusations," which my response to him was not about.

I do not have the slightest hatred in me neither against Trump nor against anyone!

 Hatred is a negative feeling that only hurts the one who conceives it, moreover not being a citizen of the USA potus influences less on my every day's life.

 But having no respect for this individual, I confess that, so I allow myself to joke about him. I hope  you are better informed about my feelings about your idol that you do not need to leap to defend.

"Drawing criticism . . . "  When does Trump not draw criticism?  Perhaps the only time was when he authorized the bombing of Syria in retaliation for a supposed Syrian chemical attack.

 

Really, does his decision to accept the nomination from the White House need to become another national scandal?  How petty.

Oh please just let him do what he wants,he will be out soon enough.

If you think the duck looks like a unicorn - that's your perception.  No one is going to change your perception.
Nonetheless, debates should be entertaining on the off-chance that there are debates.  Then the public can make up their own minds whether the Dems are running a duck or a unicorn.

 

Well, that was a lame attempt implying things I haven't posted or meant. I wasn't singing anyone's praises, so the "unicorn" nonsense is out of place.

So you haven't watched the convention, but got an opinion. Not surprising, but nice to see it laid out in the open. As for your usual "radical left" inflammatory nonsense, do you "officially" consider the Democratic Party, as a whole, to be "radical left"? What or whom, then, do you label "mere" left? Or Centrist? 

 

I've no way of knowing whether you've always held such views, and just feel more free expressing them as echoing Trump campaign talking points, or whether the propaganda brainwashing actually worked in this case. Either way, sad.

You have been asked many, many times why you think the Dems are 'the radical left' so please either start providing examples of these 'radical left' ideas or please kindly refrain from what is a very obvious smear campaign.
