Donald Trump is openly using threats and intimidation in brazen attempts to stifle the Russia investigation. If he has nothing to hide, why would he do that? Oh. Never mind.

In a state like Indiana, where agriculture is of such importance, it should be a matter of concern that Trump has just appointed, and the Senate has confirmed, a Department of Agriculture director of scientific research whose sole qualifications seem to be his role as a conservative talk show host, a climate-change denier, and a birther. He has no scientific qualifications whatsoever. But, then, the motto of this administration seems to be, “Who Needs Science?”

As great as this country is, I don’t think it’s capable to keep fueling the massive ego Trump has!

You talk about the witch hunt going on with the Russian involvement in our elections and seem to think the investigation is unique and historic. What about the years of investigation into Hilary Clinton without any convictions? Politics as normal if you ask me.

When you really look at the situation, every move that Donald Trump makes to make the country better is hindered because he is always dragging the “swamp” like a ball and chain to prevent him from reaching full potential. The “swamp” being Durbin, Cummings, Warren McCain, Schumer and Pelosi-still smarting from past election losses.

For years the GOP has been screaming and moaning about how horrible and inefficient Obamacare is. If that is a fact, it should have been the easiest thing to replace. As usual, they don’t know what they speak.

I don’t really care about what went on in the past — we all know, not the first time — but Donald Trump Jr. was caught breaking the rules which should be the only thing that matters!

When did so many politicians become so hateful that they would rather pass a bill that is more hurtful to the American People than helpful? Yes, Obamacare needs tweaking, but if they pass a bill that hurts people than they should be made to use it and if they don’t their names should be published for all to see!

Republicans have proven they are incapable of governing whether in the majority or the minority.

The Trump administration, which has openly said it wants Obamacare to fail, is now responsible for administering it. This is the state of health care in America under Trump. God help us.

It’s so funny to read posts about poor Trump, whose agenda is being blocked by “unprecedented obstructionism”. Do you people really not know that your party is in charge of all 3 branches of government?
