    I can't even tell what these controversies are about anymore. All I see is Washington DC wasting everyone's time and money on BS like fake controversies and commemorative coins.

      Gotta keep your mind off the next 400 bil being gifted to the derivatives markets... There's some serious pocket picking going on right now, but the red noses are more important.

      This is about grasping at straws trying to turn every event into another reason to hate Trump. Investigating corruption is an impeachable offense in (D) eyes apparently.

        You're either uninformed or being deliberately disingenuous.

        Either get informed or be forever ignorant and at the mercy of those who aren't.

      Hi shillbot! At it again I see.

      For all the real people here, please take a moment to ponder Trump's hinting at executing the whistle blower. That mafia-speak is creepy as all hell from a president. "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?"

      Seriously, he claims informing the US gov about US gov activity is treason? Would love to hear yall go on record for that bit too :D

        I would prefer that people ponder why the opposition can't get its shit together and actually put up some instead of chasing the scandal sheets. He does all this stuff and his support is as strong as ever.

          Hovering at ~42%. As such, you could say that his support is as weak as ever and be more precise.

              That will likely hinge mostly on the 70,000 or so voters who were his margin in three different states in the 2016 election.

              Given that there were 130,000,000 votes cast [wikipedia.org] in the 2016 election, that's a margin of ~0.054% of the votes cast.

              Seems like a pretty slim margin to work with. Especially when you spend most of your time trying to honk people off.

                Your ~0.054% is the margin between two tag team partners. Opposition is imaginary existing only in the voter's head.

                We'll just have to wait to see who is better at riling up their base when the time comes. Now is way too early. So far the betting houses are expecting no change: republican president and senate and a democrat house, with roughly the same margins to carry the bullshit through 2024.

                Without a real turnover all this theater is nothing but a farce.

                  Given that the vote count results of the election were within the error bars [cornell.edu] of *all* the media polls (despite the non-mathematical "predictions" made), you continue to show yourself to be woefully uninformed

                  This paper [aapor.org] should give you a good place to start informing yourself -- that is, if you don't wish to remain forever ignorant. Do you?

                    I read all that bullshit. Their margins of error are nice disclaimers, aren't they? Make then wide enough to cover your ass.

                    You people are so funny, trying to deny you like being led around by the nose.
