My first comment, and possibly last to President Trump, upon reopening of the comment line:

- Why did President Trump just call America the moral equivalent of a dictator who assassinates political opponents and murders journalists?


- Q: "But he's a killer though. Putin's a killer."
- President Trump: "There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent?"

I am ashamed. This was the last straw. What leverage does Putin have on President Trump, that our president would greatly disparage America just to defend this murderous tyrant?


From Sky News, part of Sir Rupert Murdoch's great empire Web Link
Michael McFaul, a former ambassador to Moscow, said: "This moral equivalency that Trump continues to draw between the USA and Russia is disgusting."

I am so livid. President Trump must drive down the price of oil and gas so that the Russian economy is hampered immensely and rid the world of Putin. Time for a democratic government in Russia; keep American sanctions on Putin in place or increase them.

Thank you for trying to reopen communication with the White House even if this bill does not get passed. Every effort sends a message and shame on anyone in either party who tries to stifle the voice of the people they say they serve. My prayer these days is that the good people in red states will use their voices to drive change. i am hopeful when I see that the woman's march took place in Kansas and Missouri. United we must be to retain our civil liberties.

Nice to learn this week that Trump sits around in his bathrobe NOT reading the executive orders before he signs them, and watches the serial sexual harassment King, O'Reilly.

Too much effort to bother reading anything at night, eh, donny?

SAD!

Thank you for trying to reopen this. I am absolutely stunned that this line is closed. Also, you cannot get an operator on the line no matter what you do at the other number posted above. It just plays the same recording over and over. I sincerely fear that a dictatorship is emerging.

Does anyone know how many innocent civilians men woman and children were killed under the obama admin
They are referred to as collateral damage and accepted as a by product of drone and missile attacks
I am only comfortable with 0
What is your comfort level

"I am only comfortable with 0" - I agree. And the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's killed because we invaded a country that never attacked us is doggone criminal.

Did you write to obama, or call the comment line?

How many civilians dies along with the brave Navy SEAL last week in President Trump's fiasco in Yemen?

Have you called President Trump yet?

@Byproduct must be extremely upset that Trump started off by killing civilians, including an 8 year old American girl in his first week.

Try to control your anger.

Why worry about a comment line when the person on the other end is deaf?

You "by-products"... did ya call the wig-topped cheeto about all the civilians he killed in his ill-prepared raid last week?

Just so he could float about a successful military operations - from a guy that dodged Vietnam. More chickenhawks.

Killed a brave soldier, killed civilians, lost about a hundred million worth of US military gear and he calls it a success.

Not just a chickenhawk, he's an illiterate chickenhawk.

By Product didn't seem to want to defend his faulty observation. Especially after Trump's 1st military decision was such a cluster-something.
