He has obviously cheated on multiple wives. There is credible evidence that he's cheated on his taxes. How can you say that nothing about his behavior is offensive?
    C'mon Fly, Fox News never reported any of those things, so they all must have never happened.

    And let's not forget his attacks John McCain; attacking the Muslim Gold Star family and asking "I wonder what's under her dress;" the racial steering at Trump Village in Brooklyn; the attacks on the press; his attack on the Mexican judge; physically shoving aside the Prime Minister of Montenegro; publicly siding with Russia over the US intelligence community; making everything about himself; saying they were 'great people on both sides' of the Charlottesville debacle; I can literally be here all day if I had the time.

    Nope, nothing offensive. OneJay must be living in some bizarro world where all of this went unreported.

        Whoa. This will be very interesting, particularly if she's willing to speak about the reasons for her resignation and if they involve anger/frustration with the boss, his words and/or actions. I have to say she's my dream primary challenger for Trump in 2020.

          I did not say nothing about his behavior was offensive, but you just came close to it.

          That's a very weak list. It's given that he's rude, crude and obnoxious. If anything he overdoes it intentionally. What is he doing, now, in the Oval Office that offends? What policy does he have that offends? What action has he ordered? Or, is it only that you find him boorish? Compare the way various agencies of the government were weaponized during the Obama administration.

            she appears to be friendly with Trump still, saying she will campaign for him in 2020.

                after reading Fly's list & your response I've now learned that "boorish behaviour" is considered a reasonable defense to make to the IRS for tax evasion ("I was only being boorish!"). If only Al Capone had known.
                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                  If you are asking if this was Obama policy, it was. It just wasn't news then.

Cmon Chance, nots, Cardboardbox, Onejay, give us a defense of this. Show us how this jerkoff cares for more than his voters.

                        I will be very interested to see how the Saudi killing of an American political activist, seemingly on the orders of crown prince MBS, plays out, given the crown prince's close ties to Kushner, and Trump's general attitude to the media and especially to critics of his government. Any other president would impose severe penalties in response to this, with overwhelming bipartisan support. There is already bipartisan outrage, so the ball is in Trump's court. Let's see if sees this opportunity to act in the appropriate manner in a subject it would help him greatly to do that, or if he reverts to form, and let's the crown prince get away with murder because he spoke out against the Saudi government. Since the murdered man was a critic of a different rich guy/governent, maybe he will be able to do the right thing in this case.

                          Trump's comments on the killing are extremely weak:

                          "I am concerned about that," Trump said. "I don't like hearing about it and hopefully that will sort itself out. Right now, nobody knows anything about it."

                          "There's some pretty bad stories about it. I do not like it," he added.

                          Yeah, dont hold your breath. Never let 1 murder of a US citizen get in the way of billions of dollars of arms dealing.

                          President Donald Trump heralded a raft of defense deals worth $110 billion when he visited Saudi Arabia last year, but many of those deals have yet to be finalized, and Riyadh is talking to Russia about that country's advanced air-defense system — which the Pentagon doesn't want them to buy.


                          This article was helpful in merging the journalist killing with the negotiation tactics in the arms dealing. Didn't make me hopeful. Seems like Dumb Donald once again gave credit for deals that hadn't yet happened, now Saudis have all the leverage in threatening to buy from Russia... or maybe Vlad wanted it that way all along? Turkey and India already chose the $15 Bn defense system offered by Russia... seems like a lot of business going the way of Russia, especially if Saudis also buy it. As Rachel Maddow might shriek: "Do you think this is all a coincidence?!" It could be, but it's a pretty big win for Putin and pretty clear loss for the US any way you slice it.

                              Immigrants living illegally beyond the border area are less likely to be deported under 'deporter in chief' President Obama, contrary to widespread belief.
                              It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.
