forget word games for a minute. This is not good for any of us.
turn on any channel. we are at a rare moment in history where there is consensus, other than cbid, of course.
Frank, people ARE rooting for failure.
The conservatively-challenged among us (better, Spey?) have been crying about every thing Trump has said since before he took office.
Every.
Thing.
I'm not saying they're wrong this time. I'm just looking for that smoking gun.
Treason is not a word that should be used lightly.
And yet I'm reading it on these boards without anything to back it up except by citing other people's opinions or headlines.
Here's but one example:

CNN.
Not Trump's friend.
They list the 21 Most Disturbing lines that Trump gave.
Must be bad, right?
Read it without the commentary. Without their spin on it. Some need context, but the conclusions are even more outrageous than what Trump said.
Of course, he's the POTUS, so there's a different litmus test that he's undeniably failing.
I recognize the apologists when I hear them. But I also see to constant barrage of hatred spewing from one side of the political spectrum and it has created a fog that distorts what's really been said.
I'll continue to digest it.
But so far what I see is McCarthyism in reverse.
