    For example, I never once said anything about law or ethics being matters of opinion, nor that anyone was a political opportunist.

So looking at it from a statistical perspective, only about half of his endorsements won and that's in races they probably should have won. Trump doesn't endorse in primaries, any way, from what I can find on the topic, so the notion that he would endorse a primary opponent of Amash's seems unrealistic.

    There is no such crime as "collusion" and Amash is alleging obstruction on a two year + deep state operation and "investigation" of of said non crime (fishing expedition) in which the corrupt conspirators tried to frame the president and numerous others.

    Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.

    “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953,

    Beria targeted “the man” first, then proceeded to find or fabricate a crime. Beria’s modus operandi was to presume the man guilty, and fill in the blanks later. By contrast, under the United States Constitution, there’s a presumption of innocence that emanates from the 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments, as set forth in Coffin vs. U.S. (1895).

    Unlike Beria’s paradigm, U.S. prosecutions start with the discovery of a crime. Then there’s an investigation to find or confirm the identity of the perpetrator and collect evidence to prove his or her guilt.

    But never mind all that. Orange man bad. Impeach!
    The truly hilarious part of all this is that Trump has very, very well documented connections with Russian oligarchs, such as Oleg Deripaska. Either that's the redacted content or was omitted entirely from the report, since no one ever mentions it (I haven't read the report and I'm ok admitting that). If that info was omitted or censored then the real basis for a collusion investigation is definitely there but is being suppressed. It's most certainly not factual to claim that Trump has no connections with Russians that could have funded giant political operations on his behalf. I don't know and I think it's a big intentional "reality tv" distraction but Trump's connections with Russians can't be denied. I'm happy to provide detailed links if you wish.

    Perhaps this is a matter of opinion, but it doesn't sound unreasonable.

    Staffer: Ok boss, I'll get right on it.

    Way to call a spade a spade, even if it means getting the GOP all up in arms. Love his pinned tweet too regarding Washington’s quote on towing the party line.

    "Let me now...warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally."

    That is exactly what it is- the Party immediately seeks to destroy anyone who questions the narrative.

    Normally they put on a good front at being friendly to liberty lovers. But if said liberty lover dares to criticize Trump, the facade is the first to go. Making in roads with libertarians is a secondary goal compared to defending Trump.

    There was no election meddling, it was all a lie from the Intel agencies. Seth Rich leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks. The FBI never investigated the DNC severs, it was a private company hired by the DNC that has Ukranian ties called Crowdstrike.

    And someone on a libertarian forum lumps everyone into a collective (Trump bots, seriously?) to anyone suggesting that the obstruction charge is BS. Oh well, "orange man bad" I guess.

    It's worse than that. Anyone who is not pure and absolutely perfect is bad. There are some pretty unrealistic expectations that will NEVER be satisfied.

    That's great and all but doesn't address that the real basis for any collusion investigation seems to be omitted/suppressed and red herrings laid out for the public instead. If Trump's well documented connections with Russian oligarchs isn't part of the story then the entire thing must be dismissed as intentionally misleading.

    I used to think that way too. I was going to vote for Gary Johnson in 2016. But as it was approaching election day, I was looking at everyone who was against Trump - media, corporations, leftwingers/Marxists, government bureaucrats, voting Trump for me was like a giant "F--- you" to the system. Still have tons of issues with his presidency, and am worried about what's going to happen with Iran, but when he got elected, it was like every Marxist/bureaucrat leech in Washington ripped their masks of and revealed their true faces. The reactions I've seen from grown adults from one duly elected president has been startling, to say the least.

    I was too when I backed Ron, and I backed Rand. But the main thing for me was the last chance survival of our Republic. The alternative with Hillary communism just had to be stopped with any and every tool available perfect or not. There was no other option, we were up against the wall principles be damned. I realized it was absolutely stupid to allow this to happen based on very unrealistic and impractical ideology. And know what? we are still in survival mode and this fact needs to be considered. We WILL be a communist nation if the left wins next election. Another delay just might give us time to find someone better and more principled before communism can be implemented. Count on it... If Trump loses we WILL become a communist state within 4 years of democrat control.

    I can't disagree with you. Everyone running on the Democrat side is pretty much an open communist.

    We had wiggle room and it was not a do or die situation before. But not anymore.

    One must remember that near everybody here attacking Trump for this are of the ideology where they WANT the US govt to collapse into anarchy. Impeaching trump and removal from office would go a long ways towards making that happen, we all have our own motivations.

    Many are also embracing communism hoping for this same outcome too. They want to burn it down in any way possible. Problem is, that is NOT how it will work, it is a gross misconception.

    but socialism will always collapse

    I'm curious how much of this boils down to Trump refusing to 'donate' millions to Club For Growth Action, Amash's leading financial contributor?

    It's safe to say that that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

    We won't see it in our lifetime, our Grandchildren or Great Grandchildren might see it. But in the meantime they will have to suffer through what we created. Does anyone really think that opening this door will actually be better than a Republic even if imperfect? To even think so is absolute insanity.

    Somewhere earlier in this thread the possible reasons are shared. He might be setting himself up for a run. And Trump's tariffs are directly affecting Amash's own personal Chinese/American tool company. The links are there also.

    If only they would all come out in force, and follow you.
    You clearly are the most sane, intelligent, and logical person that could ever take the helms of the world.
    Imagine the peace and prosperity a man like you would bring!
    Keep up the fight, brother.
    A few more posts, and the world will finally realize that YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!
