Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74721301 He allowed complete lawlessness under Obama...then immediately opened an investigation into Kellyann Conway for talking about Ivanka's dresses. He is a huge neverTrumper who can't wait to go on CNN and bash the sitting POTUS whenever he gets the opportunity. Thank god, not everyone is on the short bus I didn't know he was a never-Trumper. Listen up, everybody. The bottom line is that the Republicans are 100% in control, and they haven't done a SINGLE THING to reform a SINGLE THING. The writing is on the wall. There is no, "Well, maybe if....." It's over. Prepare accordingly. |

User ID: 73316485 United States04/19/2017 07:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He was the only Congressman who didn't use the allotted money for a D.C. Residence. He slept on a cot in his office and used the shower in the House gym. Considering how much largesse the Congress allots itself from our money, I'd say that's the politician you want managing the budget. Quoting: X1811 I always liked when he had some poor Gov rep. who got thrown under the bus to be the one to face Congress and he'd start with the most basic of foundation questions and they'd be afraid to say the obvious answer, and he'd be real nice and say "the answer is yes, it's not a trick". Yeah, he was pretty cool for a while. I guess that's why this is so disappointing. That, and the fact that he was probably the most vocal in Congress about going after Killary. He was outstanding in the Comey hearings. Then the waffling on Trump and it went down hill from there. Maybe Killary's clan got to him. With the only remote hope of seeing Hillary get what he knows she deserves, Trump was/is the only hope and not the time to worry about someone's potty talk. That attitude can make you win the battle and lose the war. All characters and events in this forum --even those based on real people-- are entirely fictional.

For many, the election of Trump was a last ditch effort to avoid what the elite have planned but all it has done is delay the inevitable and so Chaffetz probably won't be the last to throw in the towel and if I were in such a position - I would be looking out for my family's best interests as well!

Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 48618284 United States04/19/2017 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good on him! He is going to do what the forefathers wanted politicians to do - go home! Quoting: John Donson 72355092 Don't forget that the day after the "Pu**y-grabbing tape" came out he went on every news show and un-endorsed President Trump. President Trump can be genial when necessary, but he doesn't forget. I'm still waiting to see what he has planned for Obama. I can't believe that Obama humiliated him so terribly at that News Correspondents Dinner and Trump just smiled through it, it HAD to sting and I'd bet that he's been fantasizing about some sort of ultimate revenge ever since.
