"Democrats have been after Trump since Day 1!"- GOP

Pretty rich IMHO going after Democrats for this when they spent literally every day going after Bill Clinton even though he was a competent President, and he cooperated with their investigations and they were left pretty much empty-handed every time, at least until they found THE ONE THING they could *reasonably* impeach him over, which they pursued with all of the gusto they could muster, brushing aside any talk of censure or anything else and not worrying a microsecond over the "trauma" of an Impeachment.

They spent just about as much time and energy going after Obama but as much as they probably wanted to, they couldn't find ANYTHING to impeach him over.

So, when they complain about Democrats having some kind of extraordinary vendetta against Trump, please *kindly* redirect their attention to the 16 years they spent (wasted) going after Democratic Presidents whom didn't have anywhere the gross incompetence and corruption and malfeasance as Trump does. Also, be sure to point how uncooperative and obstructionist Trump has been towards investigations and how hostile Trump has been towards.....well.....everybody in this country compared to the previous two Democratic Presidents.

Republicans: Give it up. The only people lending you credence for your whining about opposition to Trump are true believers and Alzheimer's sufferers. Not that there isn't some overlap between those groups.

Can't help remembering McConnell's announcement -- the day before Obama's inauguration -- that they would make it their priority to obstruct him at every opportunity, and they did.

I detest, hate, loathe what the GOP has done and is doing to the country. Only thing I hate worse is their assumption that we're too stupid to notice.

Since I try to keep up with basic current goings-on - such as when The Passion of the Christ, the KARDASHIANS - just to know what people are talking about, I also sampled a couple of seasons of The Apprentice and soon developed detestation for SHITLER, to the point that when I saw his shirts and ties in a store I would recoil with disgust and skeddaddle to another aisle!1
