Or do they not criticize his policies as much as him because his policies are pretty good?They might be , we will probably never know because they turn most things into an attack in him .
God help trump if his opponents ever start charging him rent for the space he’s taking up in their heads . -

Personally, I think it would be good to actually have them examined, rather than being subjected to shrill hysteria.
I'm no great fan of the man, but he does seem to be far more effective than Obama, who seemed more interested in the thorny issue of transgender toilets than, say, the use of chemical weapons against civilians in Syria

I'm quite sure that if Trump discovered a cure for cancer his opponents would attack him for putting Oncologists out of work

Equally if he solved world hunger he’d be responsible for an obesity epidemic.

Say what you want about Trump as president, if the national cricket team captain tossed a coin like that I would want him sacked.
What was wrong with that?
I can guess though.. it was Trump... -

So Cohen has been found guilty of several charges and faces a jail term of 36 months. Any thoughts as to how this might impact on Trump? Some news outlets are suggesting his wider business dealings are being put under greater scrutiny following the verdict on Cohen.

he has been convicted of lying.... good luck using him as a witness...
Muller is just an invesigator looking for a crime. he is oging to keep finding things, because... how could he not. Even if he has to make stuff up, he will. Trump is correct this is a witch hunt. Anyone remember when the point of this was russian collusion? -

Anyone remember when the point of this was russian collusion?Ha! Good point. A somewhat compromised witness.
Fair point also about it being supposed to be about Russian collusion but, in the case of Cohen, if one investigation uncovers something else, well they shouldn't ignore it should they? Anyway not just lying, campaign finance violations and tax evasion. If any I'd say the middle one is most likely to impact on Trump. To what extent though is something else.

Because the bedrock of western judicial process is that prosecutors investigate crimes, not people. This has turned into a farce. If anyone on the planet faced this sort of scrutiny they would all be compromised.

The Texas Fifth Circuit has just struck down Obamacare as unconstitutional. The appeal by those hoping to save it must take place here. Highly unlikely it will be successful because make-up of this circuit is largely conservative.
Should it be upheld, it completely shifts the balance of power in Congress. It is the ultimate leverage for President Trump in a new session

Sanders had her as a proxy on the campaign trail. Now the US press has finally realised what an evil person she is after Allyssa Milano and others have called her out for being a hateful antisemite with links to the muslim brotherhood I hope this clown stands again too, the internet is full of photos of them together.

Lots of rumours that the Republicans have video of Sanders chanting "Death to America" at a Sandinista rally in the '90's.
What isn't a rumour is that Sanders co-sponsored a bill in Maine and Vermont in '97 for nuclear waste to be kept in Texas as "only poor Latinos and white folk live there" . You can imagine the campaign slogan - "Bernie Sanders - environmental racist"
