First off, I already said that I will still watch the Jags, kneeling or not. So your comments in that regard are a pathetic diversion. They have a right to say what they want without government interference. That's also not in question. The means they choose to use is offensive, but it's their right to be offensive. That doesn't mean I (or many others) have to like it. The rest of your comment is an anti-Trump rant, so those who are offended by the sidetrack should stop reading at this point. But I will answer it. Take off the tinfoil TDS hat. Trump spouts off a lot, but that is not important. What matters are his actions. So far he has done nothing to nullify the first or fourth amendments (unlike Chuck Schumer who actually proposed an amendment to gut freedom of speech). My understanding is the large pool of data he demanded was already collected by the FBI, hopefully with a warrant. The Senate is responsible for the healthcare bill failure. Maybe a stronger leader would be able to twist enough arms (or bribe enough senators) to get a healthcare bill passed, but maybe not, and maybe it's better if the President doesn't resort to bribery. I'm not sure what big deal you are making about someone being interviewed. Lots of people are interviewed by the special council. But since DailyKos probably has it in big headlines ... Little Rocket Man's feeble attempts can be intercepted so there's no danger until he creates enough nuclear-tipped missiles to overwhelm our missile defense, which he was on track to do before Trump. Of course Seoul is in danger from the artillery lined up on the DMZ, but that's always been the case. Note that Trump has been the only President to apply pressure on China to get them to crack down on the Norks. Trump is also the only President to threaten a boycott of companies that deal with North Korea. If they have no parts suppliers they can't build more weapons. Confronting LRM verbally is risky (one can disagree on the level of the risk), but appeasement hasn't worked. While there is a legitimate concern that the Norks will start a war, the rest are all nothing burgers. I didn't like Trump and didn't vote for him in the primary. I still don't like him. Personally, he's a scumbag. I did vote for him in the general election because Hillary was much worse. But considering only his policy decisions and ignoring his insane ramblings, I am very happy with the way it has gone so far, and don't regret the vote.
