Trump's letter is insane. It is not a "scathing letter to Pelosi." It is a sign of illness

Shouldn't we be praying to have God give the President the strength and power to make the write choices?

You want a prayer for Donald?

Psalms 109:8 has been very popular, but under current circumstances, might I suggest Psalms 71:11 instead?

Geez I thought it'd be Psalms 109:3 and Psalms 109:5 respectively :idea:

Childish screed? Did you actually read it? It sounded like well thought out and tempered; it didn't sound unhinged or inept at all. If someone attacks you and misquotes you to make you seem like a bad person there are far worse words one can use and I thought it was quite levelheaded and to the point. I don't understand why there's such a dog pile on the man.

If you think that sounds well thought out and tempered, you might want to start reading more challenging material. I'd be embarrassed to write a work email like that.

Her real mistake was to apologise.

There's some truth to that. I'd have to dig up the research, but my understanding is that the public's response to politician's misdeeds is largely dependent on how remorseful the politician is. If the politician acts like it was a big deal, then the public dogpiles on them; but if the politician blows it off, then so do the people.

Too bad he doesn't use a ghost writer for his tweets as well. :)
You know he didn't write his book Art of the Deal, right? The actual writer doesn't believe Trump has even read it, but he is listed as the official author.

Here's what ghost writer Tony Schwartz said about Trump's letter to Pelosi:
‘Art Of The Deal’ Co-Author Explains What Trump’s Letter To Pelosi Is Really About
Schwartz also accused Trump of committing “countless crimes” and called him “a horrendous human being who seeks only to become a dictator, and even that won’t make you feel any better.”

“We are the victims of your deep inner emptiness,” added Schwartz, who advised Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for free in the 2016 campaign and has since repeatedly predicted Trump will ultimately resign from office rather than be forced out.

Trump is seemingly tweeting out the bits they wouldn't let him put in the letter:

SUCH ATROCIOUS LIES BY THE RADICAL LEFT, DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS. THIS IS AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA, AND AN ASSAULT ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!
When this President attempts to solicit "dirt" on his political opponents from foreign leaders, he should be prepared for them to turn the tables and to attack him all day, every day!

Its taken 3 long years, but now his opponents are familiar with his political "playbook" and are prepared to play "hardball" exploiting his personal weakness - with no quarter asked for or given!

He'll still be re-elected.

Only in America can a presidential candidate who receives 3 million fewer votes than his/her opponent be declared the "WINNER!"

Regardless of what you want from our society or government you must know how crooked she was, just like Clinton. Anybody who thinks our voting system is running the way it should be spending all their time watching cartoons. I am not concern with who has been the most crooked, I just want something done to stop it. Our voting system needs to be improved so that every legal American living with the right to vote can vote and it count, but only once. We need to have rules for the voting, and it should apply equally to every voting location. If there is something we want from Congress or anyone else, it should be clearly stated and apply to them all. Regardless of who is president, or who has the majority in congress, the rules should apply evenly to them all.

Who’s this you’re speaking about?

Where has it been shown that our voting systems are defective or deficient to the point where we need to overhaul them?

States each have their own elections Laws; do you wish to Federalize (all) elections?
