From a reader in New York:







"So the man who demeans, ridicules, and attacks others is getting a little taste of his own medicine. This is not one leader mocking Trump in a news conference or something. This is a group of leaders having cocktails and having a laugh at Trump's expense. The bully is not to be feared. And Trump's response will be to lash out at these folks. Just like a bully would do. No 'I had that coming' moment for Trump. No Sir. He will fall on the floor and pound his hands and feet on the floor and yell 'It's not fair. I will make them pay'. Oh the base can sit there and support him 'being tough on the world stage'. But when all you get out of being tough is the people you are trying to strong arm laughing in your face, at some point you need to recognize that all the kids on the playground you have been bullying are now banding together and refusing to kowtow to the bully. It worked for a while, but Mr. Toughguy is no longer to be feared."

Finally the democrat house did something by moving ahead with impeachment. After a solid three years wasting time trying to find something to punish he who beat the beast they have a phone call demanding nothing and asking for a favor. Was it wrong, yes, should we make the country suffer further, no.

Can't think of any president or person who could survive three years of investigation and not find wrong doing. The dems started demanding impeachment the day after the inauguration before trump did anything, except beat the -H-. Even the swell guy could not survive this kind of investigation. Trump works trying to make the US stronger and gets impeached and his predecessor does nothing and gets the Nobel, go figure.

Politicians need to take note, do not embarrass the press or they will go on the attack with everything they can. Now maybe our elected elite can go back to doing what they do best, campaign for reelection so they can keep their title and power.

The dems lost the last election because they had a horrible candidate and no platform and it appears they are headed down the same road. We hate trump is not a platform.

That's exactly the attitude that will destroy America, and apparently you and the GOP are facilitating that slide into lawlessness. Trump commited crimes, and you are so soaked in partisanship that you think it's NBD! How easy it is for certain people to sell America's ideals to the highest bidder! What a disgrace.

Your blindness makes you think that Trump has made America stronger? What planet do you live on? He's ridiculed around the world and disrespected by our allies. That makes America stronger? Trump does, however, suck up to all the world's worst criminals -- don't forget how he admires Putin, a killer and a person who would gladly see the US pull out of NATO. Trump is making Putin proud, but not America.

You and the rest of the Goopers have forgotten that you hounded Hillary Clinton for years and years about BENGHAZI! She spent 11 hours answering to their investiagtive committe. What was the result of years of investiations and all that money?

SHE WAS FOUND INNOCENT OF ANY WRONG DOING BY THE REPUBLICAN-LED INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEES!

That hasn't happend with Trump. Why, you may ask?

BECAUSE TRUMP IS A CORRUPT, LYING, CHEAT who broke the law. That's why.That the cowards in Congress don't want to face that is their problem and their lasting shame.

I know skud never misses a chance to denigrate Barack Obama, but here's another truth for him to internalize, if he can:

Barack Hussein Obama was RESPECTED around the world. NO WORLD LEADERS LAUGHTED IN PUBLIC BEHIND HIS BACK FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE, and for America to be shamed for its leader.

That never happened.

That people like skud and the rest of the Goopers choose to ignore that very evident fact is all anyone needs to know about their cultish allegiance to America's corrupt, lying, and cheating POTUS.

To the Republican Party, Trump is a hero; to the rest of the civilized world, he's a pathetic joke.
