That should settle it. Then Trump can boast he did nothing improper because he ordered Barr to report just that!

It is mind boggling that he has not been impeached or removed under the 25th Amendment. The man is insane.

It's a matter of national security and how your actions compromise our safety.

walking disaster. Putin must love this, he's waiting to proclaim Russia is a superpower, now that he has neutralized US.

So in the past our relatives and family members fought and died to protect this country in other parts of the world would we protect our own country on our own turf?? Just speculating.

They were just trying to make me look bad by reporting it. Now people are saying it was one of the best ideas I've had. Many many people. So of course I said it. But of course they are saying I am a liar. The truth is they are just jealous"

howling hit 200 decibels. But when Donnie does it, right-wingers/Republicans are so quiet you can hear the sounds of crickets chirping two pastures over.

These people should not be allowed to run our country—now or ever.

is a whole different question.

He could Tweet blueprints for a W80 warhead and the schematics for the UGM-133 missile guidance system and it would be LEGAL, but completely reckless and idiotic. Then again, when isn't he reckless and idiotic?
