Harry Reid: Trump Is 'The Worst President We've Ever Had'
HuffPost Marina Fang, 13 hours ago
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke out about President Donald Trump:
“He’ll lie. He’ll cheat. You can’t reason with him.”
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not mince words about President Donald Trump, declaring him “without question the worst president we’ve ever had” in a rare interview published Wednesday, his first since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year.
“We’ve had some bad ones, and there’s not even a close second to him,” Reid told The New York Times Magazine’s Mark Leibovich. “He’ll lie. He’ll cheat. You can’t reason with him.”
Reid also questioned why former attorney general Jeff Sessions — his Senate colleague — and former White House chief of staff John Kelly did not leave Trump’s administration sooner.
“Why in the hell didn’t Sessions leave?” he said. “Same with Kelly,” referring to the departing chief of staff. “I’d say, ‘Go screw yourself.’ I could not look my children in the eye.”
Reid has not held back when it comes to Trump, repeatedly warning about him before retiring from the Senate in 2017.....

In response to: Mitt Romney on President Donald Trump: He hasn't 'risen to the mantle of the office'
Associated Press Published 1:42 a.m. ET Jan. 2, 2019 | Updated 8:28 a.m. ET Jan. 2, 2019
Days away from joining the Senate’s Republican majority, Sen.-elect Mitt Romney broadly criticized President Donald Trump’s policies and character and argued that the president “has not risen to the mantle of the office.”
“With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable,” the Utah Republican and 2012 presidential nominee wrote in a Washington Post op-ed posted online Tuesday night. “And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring.”......
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, had criticized Trump before – notably, in a March 2016 speech he called Trump a “fraud”

Being the loudest one on the podium does not make you the right one. So many are simply living under the illusion he is going to make their lives so much better one day, well maybe next week.
No better make that next month. Wait! Just re-elect him and maybe next time around, if America is not in shambles after being sold out to Putin (and we wind up living like HIS subjects are right now in Russia).
Funny how many do not see how much bias, and dissent he has created while attempting to dismantle the Constitution. Every dog will see his day, and the bloodhounds are closing in on this mongrel.
Peace out.
As we've said often enough before on CS, 3 sides to every story. It's quite annoying for an outsider that extreme right can't see a single flaw and extreme left can't see a single virtue to anything the Republican administration has done so far, and no-one is coming up with that third side. A Democrat friend of mine has been doing his taxes and says the new standard deduction (did I get that term right?) will make his taxes way easier in the future.
Now I've either had to leapfrog over nearly every blog in the top dozen for months and months, or read more than I ever wanted to know, or cared a fig about, about US politics, but fairly sure I've not seen anything about that. So - off topic it might be, but is there really something newly in place that helps all Americans in a useful way?
There was talk of another tax break just before mid-terms but I can't see anything more on that?
