Oh now Mel, just be thankful that we have, in his words, an "extremely stable genius" for president...

Yeah Mel and Rich, here's another example of what you been saying all along about those old, feeble minds. This particular one belongs to a long time ex-Missouri GOP congressman calling publicly today  for Trump's impeachment:

He's obviously lost it. Here's Mr Trump's personal staff vouching for Mr Trump:

Enough said...

"I'll be laughing my ass off when Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and the rest of the corrupt operators over there have to answer for their crimes and lies."
The above quote from RICH DAVIS proves that an alternative universe does indeed exist. We got to revisit Einstein's theory of relativity...

Let me see, Rich, two judges have squelched Trump's moves to block the release of his financial info to congress. Another judge ruled he can't take pentagon funds and redirect them to build his goofball wall. He's losing his tariff whacko- war with China, at the expense of the US. 
Yup, Rich, talk about clueless...

No, I, unlike you, do fact checks that are bases upon reality:

 First, on Trump's financials: Trump's attorneys and the congressional committees have now agreed to an understanding due to two judges ruling against Trump:

Next, on the Wall:

Finally, on the tariffs:

The wall and all its attendent upgrades has been under constant construction for many months now. The rest is just political noise.

Check the news next week regarding China.....that has been a constantly changing scenario from day 1......Congrats, you found an opinion you agree with this week.

Next?

No Greg, you're mistaken again:
On the finances there's only an abeyance pending Trump's appeal of the judge's rulings against him. The odds of two judges being overturned on appeal appear quite slim so Trump will likely have to comply with congressional subpoenas.

On the wall what you say is bogus:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/05/10/trump-wants-border-wall-what-status-its-construction/1145825001/  

Trump. himself, has gone off his rocker on the judges:
“another activist Obama appointed judge”, and said his administration would appeal the decision.

On the trade war, Trump has now acquiesced  to reality and will provide a 16 billion dollar bail out of farmers presently going under as a direct result of the trade war.

So the numerous reels of footage showing the wall being built is bogus I suppose because usatoday says so?

Acquiesced to WHOM? LOL......Trade WAR? its not even in the territory of a trade war, thats just leftist labeling....so far its little more than a skirmish. You dont think he should support those its affecting the most? What happened to no man left behind?.....Dogs dont like you much do they? You are an idiot lol

Coming from a guy who thought Trump was right when he said a million plus illegals voted illegally and that he had really won the popular vote and then found out the hard way that it was all crap tells one what they need to know about Greg.
Equaling whacko is Greg's blather that the "Trade WAR? its not even in the territory of a trade war, thats just leftist labeling" is pure stupidity and idiocy. Here's Fox news calling the trade war what it is:
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/president-trumps-tariffs-explained-consumers-pay
A Fox commentator states:
"China is not paying the cost of tariffs. American businesses and consumers are paying."
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/marc-a-thiessen-trump-didnt-start-this-trade-war-china-did
So obviously it's not some leftist labeling nonsense that Greg either came up with on his own or heard somewhere from some wingnut.
On the wall, there's been repairs, as previously slated, to existing structures with one "new" section:
https://www.cbsnews.com/video/construction-for-new-texas-border-wall-begins/
Even Trump has conceded it's a renovation of existing structure:
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/22/trump-mexico-border-wall-immigration-1338452
Trump's finances are coming to a congressional committe soon. It's simply a matter of time...

Lol!!! Confirmation bias? WTF! A. This is a POLITICAL forum so of course there's going to be SOME bias (if not a whole lot) B. YOU are the one who came up with the "leftist" bias label for your explanation/description of the trade war so I provided two examples from FOX NEWS who call it just that, a TRADE WAR which, of course, it is. Fox news said this: "China is not paying the cost of tariffs. American businesses and consumers are paying." 
Of course FOX news is blatantly biased but in this case it just goes to show how much of a wingnut you truly are. C If Trump himself acknowledged in one of his tweets that the wall work is merely a redo/repair of an existing structure, how does that vsquare with your BS comment of "continuous construction for many months now".
You're a pathetic joke who can't remember from one of your nutty posts to the next.
Hey Greg, while we're at it, have you had yet enough time to formulate an opinion on Trump's statement that the invasion of Iraq was the biggest mistake ever made or do you still not know enough about it or do you need more time?

If the Congress has the power of oversight regarding Trump's finances then that is a Dangerous Trend indeed, as they can do with ANY American, the same biased garbage they are doing with President Trump.  All they need do is find anyone they don't like and tell the IRS "we need his taxes because we THINK he did something wrong".  

They aren't a Department of Justice, they are the Legislative Branch of gov't.  They make laws, they aren't prosecutors.  

The overreach is outrageous and hopefully, ultimately the SCOTUS will make the decision and put the leftist Democrat House in Check.



 

No Rich, you don't get it. When Trump rejects the congressional subpoenas, he rejects the constitution. Here's a good short read on what legal experts say about this issue:
