    Yes, Trump won the election - we all noticed.

      I don't know if it's crying wolf so much as it as everybody wanting to be the first to report 'the moment' this thing with Russia finally gets tied around Trump's neck - which will happen.

        I think people misunderstood 'wolf' to be Trump. I was referring to CP's bit about the terrorist threat.
        I'm not here anymore.

          In that case, I misunderstood you. There is an actual threat of terrorist attack. It may be low, especially in your area, but they do occur - and as Europe has found out recently, there is a significant correlation between terrorism and Muslim immigrants. Very few Muslim immigrants are terrorists, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the reality that a few are.

              To the extent that Wall Street seems to totally ignore it.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  It's not just that he won the election - it's what he already has accomplished the SCOTUS appointment. That, and Hillary NOT being President, were the ONLY reasons I voted Trump.

                    Well, when you have the entire congress behind you, it should be a piece of cake to fill a vacant seat on the supreme court.

                        Yeah, I don't really care how it happened, just that it did. And, had he NOT been elected, it would never have happened.

                          It should be, yes. It's not as if Republicans are very good at marching in lock-step, though.

                          I agree with Cow Poke on this (don't tell him I said that) - Hillary lost, and we seem to have gotten a decent SC judge on the bench to replace Scalia. Other than that, Trump's not inspiring a whole lot of confidence.

                            I didn't say there was no threat, or that we should ignore it. However, The threat seems to be vastly overstated and used far too often as justification for all sorts of things. Immigration as the correlation only sorta works, mostly because the easiest avenues for ingress are barely mentioned, let alone scrutinized.
                            I'm not here anymore.

                              He'll make it to the end of his term because he's done nothing wrong. However, these constant witch hunts will certainly hinder his agenda, which is all the Washington establishment wants anyway. It sucks for those of us who love our country and were hoping Trump would have the opportunity to do some good.

                                Some people like the good 'ole boy network full of back slapping and back stabbing oligarchs.
                                I know, I know... it is hard to imagine why anyone would want that, but they do.
                                Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
