    House of Cards fantasy became reality?

    On a side note, this is why you can’t depend on these companies (Google, Apple, etc) to make sure 3rd party will abide by their rules. As a recent example, app developer have access to a subset of user face data used for authentication by apple on their new iPhone X, but they may only use it for limited fx. However, the trust is between the developer and apple. If a popular app decided to collect and use the data in other ways...

    These things outline a need for consumer protection and a need for Congress to be on top of the technological changes... there should be severe penalty for abuses of privacy and biometric data.

    it kind of seems like 2016 was a real life coup d'etat.

    If we ever get back on track, we may need Nuremberg/Truth & Reconciliation type procedures.

    note to Republicans in Congress - before you leave in January - DO YOUR JOBS.

    impeach this individual.

    do.

    your.

    jobs.

    Do you honestly not read the articles like this? Do you really just say "Eh, fake news, etc...."? After you read enough of this stuff, how can your opinion not change? Even the National Review, Weekly Standard, Economist, WSJ opinion page, etc...(who else is left as a defender?) have blasted this guy.

    Seriously, c'mon.

    Was telling him to take a break, his derangement has to be really taking a toll on his health.

    I suspect Mueller will consider this along with all the other evidence and come to a final conclusion some day. Do you think he is any sleazier than Hillary and her campaign?

    I'm pretty sure that's all anybody wants.

    Yes. But that doesn't matter. He is our President, and he seems to be financially beholden to a rival world power whose geopolitical aims are vastly different than ours, and our allies.

    Does this not bother you at all?

    Here’s the deal Buck, Trump has been scrutinized more than any President in history relentlessly. People paid to come out and talk whether true or not and we all know its a Dem wet dream to impeach him. There is so much crooked crap that goes on in Washington period regardless of who it is that all you can hope for is he does right by the country and it’s people. Let me ask you the same question I asked someone earlier and never got a response. Are you worse off now under Trump? Is solving the immigration problem not a priority? Is putting Americans back to work not a priority? Is putting America first a bad thing? The media has undermind this presidency from the start which I think is far more shady and dangerous.

    Sorry, but I completely and vehemently disagree. Not too long ago you had our current President spending years calling our former President a foreign-born/muslim/kenyan/socialist/terrorist/etc....

    I grew up as a teenager with initiation of the Rush-style attacks on Bill Clinton. I watched it happen.

    I also watched how GWB was talked about. I disagreed.

    If you mean "scrutinized" in a legal sense, it's probably because he is dirty. He's always been dirty. Everyone has always known this, or should have, even the people who voted for him.
