Who's winning the war of words: Trump or Corker?

    Trump is paving the way for the Democrats in the next election! Corker is calling attention to exactly what's on everyones mind. There has never been a more frightening time for the White House. We need to start "draining the swamp" with an impeachment soon.

    Corker: virtually all Senate Republicans know Trump is a liability. Impeachment coming?

    This morning the New York Times quotes Republican Senator Bob Corker saying that Trump’s insane shooting-off-at-the-mouth on foreign policy could start WWIII, that Trump needs constant babysitting by staff to contain him, and that almost every Republican senator knows damn well how volatile and dangerous he is. (Emphases mine):

    In an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party, Mr. Corker said he was alarmed about a president who acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something.”

    “He concerns me,” Mr. Corker added. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”

    Mr. Trump poses such an acute risk, the senator said, that a coterie of senior administration officials must protect him from his own instincts. “I know for a fact that every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him,” Mr. Corker said in a telephone interview.

    Presidents deserve respect. Praying for our country to succeed and for God to show the president his will for success in our country. If you are against the presidents you are working against this country. Stop the negativity

    I wasn't a fan of Bob Corker until he started showing the country that not all Republicans are Trump stooges. I'm very proud of him for saying out loud what probably a great many in congress are thinking. He's definitely winning this war of words because his words are TRUE! We have a sick, dangerous bully with his finger on the nuclear button. We need to start listening to Sen. Corker and the rest of the sane voices who are warning us of the clear and present danger this madman poses to the country and the world! The American people need to demand his immediate removal!

  • where are the politicians, nfl players and rich - 7 years ago

    Really, who cares about what people are twittering, when it comes to nothing that affects us. This keeps getting talked about on the news. Don't let the media keep making stupid stuff news.
    Where are the reporters talking to the important people asking what they are planning to do in your community? Where is the media recognizing what is really wrong? Where is the media talking to police departments? Where is the reporters with city leaders about problems and how they are fixing it?
    East Nashville: local girl killed. This is the fifth murder in one complex this year. Residents are complaining of weapons everywhere. I'm assuming there are drugs too. Residents are saying that they don't see politicians, nfl players or anyone in the area combating the violence. Where are those NFL players against brutality and violence. Where are those millionaires that care about making a difference in the community? Where are those politicians that want to make a difference? Residents are looking for people to come and bring something to the table to help the residents. Something to get Nashville off the streets and focused on something else. Maybe if the Titans would go take a knee with those kids, teenagers and parents and spend some time making a difference and donating money for recreational and educational things for them.
    I have read one or two articles on this. Bet, if this was a white guy killing a black girl then it would be national news. It's just sad! We have a NFL stadium, politicians, smart people just down the street. No one is going down there with solutions or just with their presence in trying to make a difference. Where are the people raising fists, taking a knee or doing anything? I don't see protest throughout the community against hate and violence.
    Where are those people who take a knee, where those people who want to make a difference??
    Cricket, cricket.... no nfl players, no city officials, and no media getting to the bottom of it.

    Corker is winning because he is speaking the truth,and he`s not the only Republican that feels that way,or Democrat for that matter. He just has the guts to say that "Orange Foolious" is unfit to be President!

    Corker needs to just crawl under a rock. He is now showing what we have always known..... he is a democrat thru and thru
    So ashamed he tells all he is from TN

    Corker is a douche, plain and simple. A rino.

  • SNL SKETCH IDEA - 7 years ago

    Breaking news: we are giving you the best news from the most important country in the world and here is the top news that represents how we spend our time on making the world a better place for you. People will look back and be in awe, how we reported and influenced change. Not really, google and Facebook will hide everything.
    News anchor: We could cover topics and stay on top of important issues like, Why education is getting worse compared to the rest of the world / Health insurance, the rich don't really care about you and we won't change laws for you, infrastructure who cares we got cars, cell phones and cable, Crime and death well we can't feed all of you..
    Tonight in the news, we want to talk about the NFL and we will make this important and constantly update you on how this will affect your future. Remember, we control what you think.
    Scene with reporters: little kids dressed up like the NFL players that are fighting, crying and throwing a fit while the parents or coaches on the sideline are encouraging them to make worse life decisions and forcing them to play. Finally, they are able to get the kids, I mean professional athletes to play by spoiling the crap out of them. And the reporter signing off. Well, the world is a better place and thank you for spending hours out of your life with us and we promise to stay on the important drama rather than give you better news.
    Oh that's not a SNL sketch that's the world we actually live in. My bad!

  • Is anyone winning? - 7 years ago

    Are we really polling this? We could have a poll everyday on really important topics and this is what we poll? Most of the time, the way polls are written just suck. We don't even poll everyday and when we do it's about nonsense. We could do more than just polls. What is wrong with the Media? What happened with investigating, researching and breaking into new developments? What happened to having news that shocked and exposed the truth about important things like why insurance companies get rich while nothing improves for you? What happened to staying on top of important issues, like education, healthcare, jobs, community crime and how nothing is being done and informing the American people or giving them the option of knowing or learning about important topics. Our media is a reflection of how we really don't care.
    We know there are lobbiest in Washington D.C. yet we don't know who they are. We know they are changing laws to benefit them but we never really know how. And no one can expose them or talk about them in the news and what changes they are making and how it affects the American people. The news companies don't care. It's 2017 people! Are we really trying to improve this country? Yes, we live in a great country and we are making improvements. But we are going downhill or ignoring long problems like the city Chicago. How come the media is not all over the mayor and how changes are not happening? We should be tearing that city leadership apart, constantly and getting involved. Why can't we fix some of the issues that have been haunting us for years? We can't fix anything because we change off the important subjects to talk about things that won't ever make a difference.
    Fox News: we are here to talk about improving the infrastructure or something important in this country with facts that you don't know and ...... in breaking news (which we will cover for days, 24/7) people are saying words to each other and none of it will really affect the important issues we all have but now we don't have to explain or teach you guys on stuff we don't understand. Thank you for watching and the next hour will be a bunch of opinions to distract you from what is really important. Saving those rich monopoly companies one distraction at a time.
    American people want answers in why things don't get fixed and they want to know all the people involved, not just complain about one guy.
    American people want facts and examples when explaining important issues to show why it's good or bad.
    American people want more but all we get is opinions and blah, blah, blah from the media.
    Wouldn't be nice if every government section had a report card? Wouldn't it be nice if we could have just a factual news program that left out al the opinions and had research to back things up. It would be nice if the media had kept making important issues the importance on the news instead of things that no one will care about in a week.

    Agreed. No one is "winning" in this situation, certainly not the American people. Trumps gotta an itchy twitter finger, and he's using it to not only make up and post completely fabricated stories (read: "alternative facts") to try and bully various senators who hurt his little feelings, he is also using it to put us in the middle of WWIII.
    Bob Corker's response tweet was fire tho. Hopefully Trumps got something to help treat that burn.
