Sadly, a quick read through that Trump Regrets collection reveals that his supporters' reasons for turning on him are by and large as stupid as their reasons for supporting him in the first place. Just a total lack of critical thinking skills and/or understanding about... well, just about anything.
I'm sure there's plenty of otherwise decent, intelligent, naive people in the bunch but, damn, it sure is hard to have any sympathy.

Posted that list on my FB, have a friend in Calgary who loves Trump, ironically Jewish too...

Most of These seem in line with a less centralized government that would give the power back to the local jurisdictions. Not that bad of a thing.
The way you frame the abortion bill is far from what it says. It basically is trying to put a stop to sex and race selection as well as forced abortions not criminalize all abortions.

For those who are more familiar with US laws then I am, if it is found that someone in Trumpland or even DJT himself coordinated the DNC email hacks what US law would that be breaking?
Step 1) Tell the Big Lie
Step 2) Let the press report the big lie
Step 3) Call for an investigation into incident, everyone's writing about it!
Also funny that Spicer says "(4/4) Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted.", then comments further shortly after.
The sad thing is I wouldn't rule out that there were politically motivated actions against Trump. Look at what Comey and the FBI did, the DOJ could have played that game too. They would have had to get it past a judge though.

This administration is such a disaster. Scandal after scandal, constant lying and shady bulls--t, Trump behaving like a petulant 5-year old, etc... And I'm pretty certain things are only gonna get worse for them from here on out.
This job is the complete opposite of what Trump thought it was going to be, and it's driving him bonkers. I think it's very likely that the guy has a complete nervous breakdown within the next 2 months.
This is simply incredible by this woman, I cannot wait for the HBO documentary which will come out 1 or 2 years in to this administration with the chaos and scandal going on behind the scenes.

NPR has confirmed the Times story: Comey requested DOJ publicly deny Trump's allegation that Obama ordered a wiretap of Candidate Trump.
