70 is a big difference from 79 though; I don't think any candidates this election were too old. I would have deep concerns about having a 79 year old do the world's most stressful job. However youthful or energetic they might be at the time of running for president. At that age there's significantly more risk of medical problems and the amount of stress from the presidency would be dangerously unhealthy for an elderly person of that age. At least in my opinion.
My granddad was youthful, energetic, ... at 75 and didn't even require any medication besides iron supplements and he died in his sleep 2 years later. As a nursing student I worked with the elderly most of the time and it was a pretty common occurence to see a sudden and severe mental or physical deterioration in their medical files. Dementia, parkinson's, ...

What? All of his tests came back positive. He's the healthiest president there is, the healthiest president there was, and the healthiest president there ever will be

Such comments don't really bother me. Feel free to take it down if you don't want to get banned. Appreciate the support btw.
Either way I did have a great laugh about that gif

Trump is clearly the healthiest president ever, has there ever been a president that excercised less? The guys got tons of energy stores still remaining.

Just came across the strongest condemnation of the manbaby by a Republican yet 
Dude has more backbone than the maverick,he has broken ranks on der pumpkinfuhrer a few times already. He's one of 2 members of the GOP to have signed their names on the Dem bill to have an independent commission
In other news,Cheslea Manning was released from prison today

Man, I could be wrong, but you got to think that the only reason why Republicans aren't moving for impeachment is cuz they're scared it ruins their own chance for reelection.

Most probably but they won't get vocal about it until **** has broken the fan
Good thing there's a cool,calculated and level-headed statesman in the WH to try to contain and deescalate what would 100% be a nightmare of a confli...oh

He's the one person in this administration I have full confidence in, as do our world leaders.

What's the plan here? Getting republicans on record? Unless he really thinks congress is gonna go for it at this point in time.
I think it's still too early to really call for impeachment.

soapbox time...
I'm tired of liberals, with their tails between their legs, going Debbie Downer saying that the Republicans will never turn on trump. That there is no chance for impeachment since the GOP controls the House and Senate so this is all a waste of time. And I've heard it over and over and over from friends and commentators. Over and over.
Sure, Republicans are going to be stubborn about this, but they're not attached to trump. Most of them privately wanted him gone throughout the entire primary season. They know he doesn't represent them. From early on, reports were saying that the GOP was to ride along with trump initially so that they could pass some of their legislation, and then they would turn on him and impeach him. I don't know if this is their strategy on paper, but it's how it's going to play out.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not giving the GOP any slack here. They are going to take longer on this than they should and they are responsible for the damage being done in the first 4 months of trump's term. But they are going to be the bellwether. When public opinion and evidence mounts, they have no reason to stick with trump because it will hurt them too. They've probably already hurt themselves by sticking with him for this long.
And when they turn on him, they will be lined up like the senators at the assassination of Julius Caesar. Democrats won't even have to lift a finger.
But if liberals don't show up to vote in 2018, then we may as well keep trump in office for 8 years. It's what we deserve.
/rant
edit: don't get me wrong. I'm not lumping together the fair criticism of the GOP and that they choose party over country with the GOP turning on trump. Two slightly different issues. I'm just arguing that we shouldn't immediately dismiss the possibility that a GOP-led Congress would turn on trump.
Also, while some GOP members have thrown their lot in with trump and probably can't recover from it (Ryan, Priebus, etc), many have not (they're all guilty but some have done just enough to save face). It'll be interesting to see if the party basically blackballs people like Paul Ryan in the aftermath of all this.
edit2: I'm probably being way too optimistic about all this. But my angst with this is that some have used this as an excuse just to throw up their hands and give up. Like, "None of this matters anyway, GOP is in control. This is all a waste of time so let's just collectively bend over and let trump get this over with."

Erdogans goons were beating up Kurdish protesters today...IN DC
If they're so brazen to do that on foreign soil,could you imagine how things are in Turkey? :x
Damn at the .10 to .15 you can see that dude in the brown jacket getting hit by the cop with the baton and dude had a gun on his waist. Trained Turkish security squad with immunity given by this Federal Govt beating down American protesters. I am surprise this doesn't get more news coverage out here.

I have thought about drawing a webcomic series starring the Trump sons as they "run" their dad's empire. I would do it if I had more time. It could be great. You have Donnie Jr. who is always searching for his dad's approval and Eric the dumb one. It'd almost be like Pinky and the Brain.
Donnie Jr.: "Dad, the press is saying some really mean things about you and how you should be impeached. It's not true, is it, dad?"
Donald: "Of course not, son."
Donnie Jr.: "That's what I tried to tell them!"
Eric: "I like impeaches."
Donnie Jr.: "You're still going to make America great again, right dad?"
Donald: "Of course, son!"
Donnie Jr: "I tried to tell them that."

Turkey and Erdogan are frequently in the news here because of our large Turkish population and Turkey's close ties to Europe.
Our news report that many of the protesters were of Armenian descent and protested to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. There were also Kurds, who are basically pariahs to the Turkish government and their supporters.
The Kurds have it a lot worse than this in Turkey. Erdogan blames them for just about every bad incident in Turkey. Most of the time it's either the Kurds or Gülen who get the blame. Or both.
Though it should be said that some extremist Kurds have been behind numerous terrorist attacks in Turkey. But the rest of the Kurds always get lumped in with the terrorists.
