Your political opinions no matter what they are have no place in our forum, unless you are creative enough to bring them to life through your eye and the lens of your camera.

I think somebody is very upset that the bag lady lost to someone they hate sits in the white house. Just too bad the bag lady and her pervert husband will have to sit this one out. The dem party is done with them.

When Donald Trump said he was going to make America great again, there were people who actually believed he was going to attempt to do that. Trump ran his freak show of campaign utilizing a powerful slogan that struck a cord with racist white people. However, the reality is - Trump and the teabagger Republicans in congress have absolutely failed to "€œmake America great." Paul Krugman lays out just how badly Trump and the Republicans are messing things up in a New York Times op-ed called "€œMaking Ignorance Great Again."

Two major areas where Trump and the teabagger Republicans showed how dreadfully incompetent they are - is on the environment and healthcare. Krugman argues that none of the actions taken by Trump and the teabagger Republicans - when it comes to these two issues - are based in, you know, FACTS. These simpleton'€™s agenda is - the truth be damned. This should not be a huge shock. We knew long ago that Trump and the teabagger Republicans would be disastrous for America. Trump managed to pull off something that teabagger Republicans could only dream of - winning electoral college votes in areas of the country they have tried to lie, steal and cheat to get votes. As a result, the teabagger Republicans now bow down to Trump. So, what is happening today is that this dolt in the White House is attempting to actually follow through on the batshit crazy promises he made to his ignorant racist white base during his freak show of an election campaign. Ergo, we are seeing America transformed, and not in a good way.

Oblivious to the environment, hostile to migrants, snarling towards Muslims and seeking to roll back rights that took decades to secure. It'€™s obvious that Trump sees the constitution not as a historical document to be honored, but as an obstacle to overcome. The "€œrepublican"€ in the White House and the ignorant teabagging cowards in Congress see diversity not as a strength, but as a fact to be tolerated, or completely ignored. By pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, constantly pushing for a Muslim travel ban, still staying committed to building a wall on the Mexican border, attempting to replace The Affordable Care Act with "€œTrump-no-care" (that promises to deny millions of Americans healthcare), and going to war with the free press, Trump has already done enough damage to last several lifetimes. It did'n™t take that long for that nincompoop Trump to destroy years of progress - ALL OVER THE WORLD. The citizens in America, whether they know it or not, will end up paying the price. So much for "€œMaking America Great Again." The truth will make you free!

This is a typical "Red Herring" tactic. This article has nothing to do with the Clintons. This one is all on Trump.

This isn't my "Liberal"opinion. It's an article I found interesting and thought others would also. Seems as though you failed to notice it's in the open section. Or, would you just rather get rid of free speech?

The United States is no longer a melting pot; it has become a nation dominated by two very different ethnic groups - one hateful and racist. There is no concept of mutual interests, white terrorism increases and the hope of stability is not even discussed. This is being personified by one man, with two contrary public perceptions. There'€™s Donald Trump, champion of the white "€œconservative"€ masses of rural and small-town America, the man bringing white supremacist change to Washington, promoting unfettered white privilege, and on a mission to put brown and black people - all over the world - "€œin their place."€ And then there'€™s Donald Trump as seen through the eyes of people of color in America and white people in America with common sense and common decency. This president is an utterly incompetent, criminally corrupt racist. Who is only interested in himself and his wealthy co-conspirators, a man who has turned the White House into a sham reality TV show. But America was once a melting pot. It didn'€™t matter your language, your religion, or where you came from, if you were a citizen of the United States you were "€œAmerican." It was a country where ethnic divides and animosities were being left behind. Now, after decades of hate-filled whites isolating themselves, and seeking to blame "€œothers"€ for their own bad decisions and stupidity, America has become so polarized that the country is coming apart at it'€™s seams. America'€™s future is starting to look like the traitors in the Confederate South won the Civil War.

Well said Luke. If the congressional investigators do a proper job, Big Daddy will be run out of town like a diseased Nixonian rodent.
