We've all agreed that Trump's a bad guy. Our fellow citizens voted him into office. There's nothing we can do about it, so get over it.
Do the board a favor, and stop with this nonsense.
Do you remember anyone at any time during 8 years of non-stop complaining from you during Obama's reign telling you, "get over it, there's nothing we can do about it"??? No. Your fellow posters treated your complaints with respect. Did we at times realize that with you, no matter what Obama did, you'd tell us it was wrong? Yes. And it turns out we were right. But we still discussed your complaints. And we sure as *hit didn't say you "had ODS" with a sneer.
Show your fellow posters the same courtesy we showed you.

Skeezy behavior is not a crime. Suspicion & innuendo are not proof.
Problem here is that you say this when it comes to Trump. But when it comes to the Deep State, out comes the tinfoil with no proof. You can't even name the people who leaked, or from which government department they came from....but that doesn't keep you from your manic broad brush condemnations.

Trump will pass from the scene. Until he does, get a grip & make the best of it.
I did that two years ago. He's lining my pockets at the expense of voters who are too busy being happy at Trump's petty tweets at children (?!) to notice he is systematically leaving TrumpNation with zero economic hope, while he lines the pockets of big city liberals.
What won't pass from the scene is you and everyone else who either cheered Trump on, or made excuses for him every step of the way. The next President, regardless of party, will be worse because of this foppishness. You think Trump is a speedbump. He's not. The problem isn't Trump. The problem is you and everyone else who moves the line, and moves the line, and moves the line....until there's no line at all for the next President to cross.

On the other hand, the FBI are supposed to be the good guys. They were hired, not elected, to protect us & our rights.
First of all, nope. They're appointed. Want to separate the FBI from politics and make them actually be independent of political appointments? Sign me up. Until then, you're going to have to deal with politics.
Second of all, I dismiss your assertion here out of hand. You think the FBI should be held to a higher standard than the leader of the free world. Sorry mate, that's not just insane, it's dangerous.

No matter what FBi does, it doesn't justify doing what Trump did.
Fixed it for you. And this is at the heart of my gripes with you. I treat both the FBI and Trump equally. Get caught leaking? Great. Indict them, and move on.

For 3 years you've been ridiculing me as a FNC watching tin foil hat conspiracy theorist, without giving me credit for calling out what was going on, as soon as it happened, with every leak.
Again, you want the FBI to be perfect. Sorry, ain't gonna happen. But I didn't ridicule you for getting upset over leaks. What I said, for the last time, is that by and large, you don't know who is doing the leaking....and the leaking didn't start with the arrival of Trump. Both statements are factually true. What I was ridiculing you for was doing the same thing Maddow and other RussiaGate posters were doing.....making wild speculations that had no basis in fact.
That, and pointing out that it's obvious that Trump's own people are leaking. And that the undermining you are sure is happening ain't a bunch of libs....it's Trump's own appointees who actually have to work with the man, and know full well the emperor has no clothes.
