Probably got too involved in investigating and prosecuting the President, and some of the President's attitudes toward "proper" sexual behavior rubbed off. Understand it started with trying to hug co-workers.

Understand it started with trying to hug co-workers. So you're bringing Trump into this? Eric Schneiderman beat and choked women because Trump? How does that happen? Was he so frustrated at his inability to stop Trump he took out his anger on an innocent woman? And you think that's reasonable. The absolute worst accusations against Trump amount to aggressive groping. Schneiderman is accused of slapping, choking and threatening to use his office against his victims and kill them. Trump is a boy scout by comparison. The first rule of this sort of comparison is to compare the person you're trying to make look better with someone who is WORSE. Comparing someone who slapped, choked, and abused his office to intimidate his victims to Trump makes Schneiderman look WORSE, not better. Try comparing Schniderman to someone else who abused his office, and probably made blacks call him Master. Like Bull Connor. Though, TBH, it isn't really clear that Schniderman is actually better than Connor.

It was an attempt at some humor, RJ, a little satire. Sorry you have no sense of humor, but I've found that most people on the right don't, especially when Trump is involved.

Oh I understand humor just fine PAM. In fact, I understand it well enough to know that A) Eric Schniderman beaing his girlfriends and threatening to kill them is not appropriate material for humor and B) the anti-Trump schtick that the days headlining "comedians" have been relying on for 2 years got boring after the first six months, and is now simply tiresome. I really don't expect you to understand B) but I would have thought A) might give you some pause.

He's exactly the type they want, no morals, no principles, and willing to do whatever he's told so he can move "up" in the swamp.

As I've said often before, they are still the Party of the KKK. They haven't changed their core platform, they have simply changed tactics. They still want slavery, they just want everyone other than themselves to be the slaves.

Interesting, RJ. Certain subjects are "off limits" for humor? Didn't realize that you made the rules now.
Sounds more like your typical "if it's on the left it's wrong, if it's on the right OK." That's why you continue give a serial sexual predator, serial liar, and totally incompetent President a pass on almost everything. But that's your continued unthinking partisanship. See sentence #1 in this paragraph.

While I don't consider beating women, threatening to kill them, and using one's office to intimidate them funny - under any circumstances - I've made no rule making it off limits to trivialize abuse. Feel free to find humor in women's suffering all you want. It seems to suit you.

Then why did you try to make a joke out of Schniderman's behavior? That no sane person would think was remotely funny? No one is defending Republican sexual predators. I have suggested that it is a stretch to label Trump a sexual predator based on the accusations against him. But even at its worst Trump's behavior, vulgar as it was, does not come remotely close to what Schneiderman has been accused of. THINK CAREFULLY, PAM. You really don't want to make this comparison anymore. The number of Democrats/liberals that have been accused of abuse, and the nature and volume of the accusations aimed at them is several orders of magnitude worse than what has been leveled against Republicans. Continuing down the road you're on only serves to highlight the drastic difference. Tom Brokaw must be relieved that Schneiderman has re-focused everyone's attention.

I provided you a very lengthy list of Republican sexual offenders some time ago. It's not a Democratic problem. It's not a Republican problem either. It's a national problem that goes across all party lines and political affiliations. Your claim that the number of Democrats and nature and volume of accusations -- which are more or less equal on both sides -- continues to show the unthinking, uncritical, partisan nature of just about everything you post. Your viewpoint is screwed up. Hope one day you can come to a balanced viewpoint, but methinks it's probably way too late. I actually feel sorry for you, locked into such a narrow mindset that prohibits you from seeing big pictures and context.

It was full of Republicans cheating on their wives, and Democrat rapists. Funny how that works... a Republican has a consensual extra-marital affair and it makes the news. For a Democrat to make the news, the accusations have to involve abuse of power and/or battery. But that's the bias the US media carries. This is why you think Donald Trump lying about the size of the crowd at his inauguration is a serious problem, but have no real issue with assertions that Benghazi happened because of a YouTube video and "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." It's a huge thing for you when a Republican lies about a triviality, and just part of good progressive policy when a Democtat lies about national security or healthcare. LMAO. And you have the temerity to tell me my viewpoint is screwed up! What a joke that is.

Well, RJ, you apparently don't remember the list that well. Looks like you got the Rs and Ds mixed up, but that's what happens when you're an unthinking, uncritical partisan.
I don't care how many people showed up on Jan 20, or whether Trump lied about the size of that crowd or not (and he did). I'm more concerned about his constant lying -- about 6 times a day by one report. I'm more concerned by his lack of any qualification for the office, his lack of any experience of politics. I'm more concerned by his saying one thing and then doing the opposite. I'm more concerned about his pulling out of the Iran agreement, against the advice of all his advisors, because he thinks it's a bad deal (but he'll never broker a better one). I'm more concerned about what he's doing to America's reputation overseas. I'm more concerned about his imposing tariffs that will ultimately results in higher costs for American consumers.
I could go on and on, but I think -- actually, I hope -- that you get the idea. I don't think the President lies about trivialities, unfortunately. He lies about everything -- trivial, serious, important. To him, it doesn't matter. To him, it's all about him and his image, not the country, not the economy, not relations with our allies. It's all about him.
I'm sorry that, in your unthinking, uncritical, mindless partisanship, you can't see this. But you continue to prove that your thinking is screwed up, and will probably always be screwed up. But that's what unthinking mindless partisan conservatism does to people. You're just another example.

Well, RJ, you apparently don't remember the list that well. Looks like you got the Rs and Ds mixed up, but that's what happens when you're an unthinking, uncritical partisan. Then why not post the list again? I remember asking you for an example of Trump lying a few months back, and the first thing you listed was his claim about the crowd size of the innaguration. It's odd that you keep insisting that he lies constantly, but you really can't put your finger on a "if you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance" scale lie. As for the Iran deal, let's see what he does with North Korea. In the mean time, no deal with Iran at all would have been better than what Obama got us, which basically just caused the US to fund the Qods Force, with nothing in return. If that's your standard for progress... again, it's astonishing that you think I'm the one with the screwed up world view.

What's worse, RJ, is that YOU can't put your finger on a lie by Trump like the health insurance quote you claim in a lie. (BTW, has your health insurance changed in the last 8 to 10 years? I've gone to Medicare, but I still have all the same doctors, and other than drug copays and premiums I haven't had a medical bill in that time period -- and I've had about 5 surgical procedures in that period too. I'm rather satisfied with my health care.)
Actually, I think Trump's claims about the tax cuts rank right up there. But claiming the bill is good and then ending up with a significant increase in the deficit while providing almost no relief to the lower and middle class -- though that was the constant claim -- seems to be a major lie.
On the other hand, you seem to be concerned about "major" lies, not the sheer volume. Can you think of any other President who continually lied like Trump? I doubt anyone else comes anywhere close. Are you OK with his constant lying? Is that more of your unthinking partisan mindset?

See sentence #1 in this paragraph. Nothing the President is accused of happened while he was in office. All of the Party of the KKK scumbags, most of whom are calling for impeachment, were abusing their offices to engage in the malicious activity. Those of us that voted for Trump did so knowing he wasn't an ideal individual, but knew the abject disaster that The Felon would have been. He has proven the wisdom of voting for him, since the economy has done better in his first year than it has in the last 18, NK has been brought to the negotiation table, Syria was actually punished for using chem weapons, we are no longer bound to the protection racket of the "Paris Accord", and he's doing his best to stop the invasion of illegal Democrats.

You're just another example. That's because you were happy with the status quo, the continued dissolution of the US into the USSR. He's not a politician, so he is not beholden to the NAZI Soros like your owners are. He's not required to 'go along to get along' because he's independently wealthy, so not dependent on the graft, corruption, and outright criminality of the Parties, to get reelected. As for his "lying", that's subjective, because it's the LR fake media saying so. Given their track record on telling the truth about him or any of his accomplishments, that's like believing Cuomo when he says he's "undocumented". Lying has become de rigueur for the Left, because they can't tell the truth. The LR media has finally proven itself to be nothing more than the propaganda outlet for the Communists and the KKK, refusing to report on his accomplishments, or, when they do, they spin it that it was The Puppet's accomplishment, or claim "he's only doing it for show", like CNN did with the return of the NK hostages.

He knew that he might be impeached if the American people found out how bad it was. It did nothing but transfer $150 billion from the US to Iran, to use to further their nuke program and fund terrorism. As for his "advisors", most of them are Puppet moles. And we have The Gigolo reprising his treason from 1972, going behind the President's back to undermine what he's doing. He should have had his passport revoked while he was "meeting" with Iran. Let him stay there.

Second, you don't consider job increases, bonuses, expanded business opportunities, ect, to be 'no relief"? Really? I guess you are independently wealthy, so don't have to worry about paying taxes or eating. Trump is claimed to be "lying" constantly by the same foreign agents that claim the "dossier" is true, that everyone in the Administration is leaving, and that Trump is a fascist.

But to answer your specific question: YES, I was forced by my employer to change health insurance plans, lost about $4,000 worth of HRA savings because of it, and had to switch doctors as well. Obamacare sucks ass.

Sorry about the healthcare, RJ, especially losing $4000. I see no reason for something that to happen. On the other hand, at least part of the blame here has to go to your employer, for some reason changed plans. Sounds like you employer was looking to save money at the expense of the employees.
Sorry also to see that you have a spokesperson who must be related to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Both have severe problems with the truth. Let's look at a little of what he said.
In his first post, he says that nothing that the President is accused of occurred while in office. While not formally charged with obstruction of justice, the basis for any such charge did, in fact, occur while he was in office. One wrong statement for the commie.
In the same post, he makes a statement that the economy under Trump's first year did better than the economy in the last 18. Not accurate, especially since he doesn't indicate how he measures. The S&P actually did better in Obama's first year that in Trump's first year in office. And Obama inherited an economy entering a recession. while Trump inherited an economy showing 7 or 8 years of growth. Two wrong for the commie.
His second is hard to decipher, but appears to be his usual rant against what he deems "Fake News." Again, no real definition. For the President, it's anything he doesn't agree with, anything in the media that criticizes him or disagrees with him. But when the President tells one of his many lies and gets caught, it's not fake news to criticize him or call him on it. And lying is not subjective, as the commie says. Truth is objective and real. I know you don't like fact checking sites, but they use facts to establish truth and point out obvious lies and misstatements. The broader question is why is Trump afraid of the truth? Three wrong for the commie.
In the next post, he again shows his ignorance by claiming that we paid Iran. We did not pay Iran for anything. We returned money we had frozen years ago. That is well documented (unless all you listen to and read is the fake news on Fox and Breitbart). Four wrong.
Next post: tax relief hasn't kicked in yet. Can't believe he types that with a straight face. Tax relief has kicked in. Income tax withholding has been adjusted. Businesses have received tremendous tax reductions -- something like from 38% to 20% or 22%. Us citizens get some relief . . . for 3 or 4 or 5 years or so, but our tax rates gradually go back up. A little relief for a short time. Bonuses for employees? Yes, some companies gave them. Most companies -- over 95% by most estimates -- are instead buying back stock or increasing dividends, nothing that really helps the little guy. Unemployment is down a bit, but we're almost at full employment right now. Of course, we should mention the tariffs, which seem to be hurting the soybean farmers and causing a lot of our prices to go up. And don't forget his withdrawal from the Iran accord, which according to many people will result in higher gas prices in the US. I think the commie is now 0 for 5.
So now, RJ, I guess we know what you mean by "a fine job" responding. In the Army, we used the acronyms FUBAR and SNAFU. I think that describes the commie's posts. I'm sorry you decided to stop thinking for yourself. I enjoy you comments, even though generally a reflection of your unthinking conservative partisanship, a lot more of his comments that generally have no basis in reality.

Sorry also to see that you have a spokesperson who must be related to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Both have severe problems with the truth. Let's look at a little of what he said. Ironically both redleg and Sarah Huckabee Sanders have a much closer relationship with the truth than you. Again, this is a nonsense accusation. No one who understands what Obstruction of Justice is honestly thinks Trump committed it by exercising his Constitutional Authority to make a personnel decision. It is accurate. The GDP is higher, and unemployment is lower than it has been in decades. The S&P is a market, not the economy. Fact check sites exist only to push a left-wing narrative. Just like the Washington Post and MSNBC. They do not use facts. As for you versus redleg, post a couple of "lies" and lets analyze them for whether or not they're meaningful and actual lies. blog.dilbert.com/2018/05/10/episode-45-watching-msnbc-as-a-comedy-about-people-who-dont-understand-things/We sent them money to de-nuclearize. Call it what you want, but Iran took US money and used it to fund terrorists. Obama funded international terror. It was a disgrace. This part of your comments are completely self-contradictory. I'd rather have you believe this nonsense than try to begin to untie the logic knot you've tied yourself into. I'm sure you're very familiar with FUBAR and SNAFU. They describe you well.
