Too soon? While warm sparks were still spilling down from the ceilings at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, a Democratic lawmaker was using the blaze to describe President Trump. Rep. Steve Cohen, Tennessee Democrat, appeared Monday evening on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews” show to tout his long crusade to impeach Mr. Trump and promptly reached for the fire. “What he has done to the Constitution and the rule of law is as bad as that fire did to Notre Dame. He’s torching the entire structure of government and the people’s respect for it.

Kind of like the Notre Dame fire. He´s not torching the entire structure, just burning the roof off so we can see whats inside.

Government has gone beyond the corrupt stage and has ceased to ´represent´ people/citizens.
Trump is our last and only hope to slow or fix the problem.

I must respond but I am at a loss for words.
Steve Cohen, you are entitled to your opinion but I do not know or care who or where you are.

How he tries to get away with broad statements -- “What he has done to the Constitution and the rule of law is as bad as that fire did to Notre Dame.”
Really, like what? All these sweeping statements without a bit of proof or worse no statement of what exactly he is talking about. He is a fungus on the fanny of humanity.

Trump was elected so that "Government of the People, by the People, and for the People" does not perish from the earth!

Trump is trying to right the damage to the constitution that YOUR party did during the reign of error known as Obama. You in congress let him slide for 8 long years, with his EO´s instead of congress doing their job.

Except that Notre Dame is beautiful and worth preserving, corrupt deep state government is ugly and infringes on our inalienable rights. To quote Mr. Jefferson in the Declaration:
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
President DJT is our attempt to do this peacefully.

Trump is torching the corrupt, irrational, self-serving structure of government and restoring a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
No wonder Cohen is opposed to Trump; Trump is a threat to Cohen´s favorite government features.
Elected officials such as Cohen are fighting to defend their own interests no matter how destructive those interests are to the people and the country.
For the good of the country, people need to wake up and stop voting Democrat!

Totally invalid analogy.
In reality Trump is fumigating the house, ridding us of the termites destroying our beloved culture, our Constitutional Republic.
These termites are very angry.

Cohen is a blight on Tennessee and the United States. An ugly tasteless creature, he exudes meanspiritedness wherever he goes, whenever he opens his unpleasant mouth. A big FIE on him...

The evil vile dems are the ones who are trying to torch the entire structure of government. 75% of this site is news articles about someone trashing Trump, it´s not news. The only way the dems get by with this is the DNC media supports them no matter what they do or say. It´s sad when you can make news by trashing President Trump.

"He’s torching the entire structure of government and the people’s respect for it."
Well, yes and no....
"[T]he people’s respect for it" went up a long time ago.
Now we´re handing him the matches and the molotovs,
and hoping he moves expeditiously to the
"watering the Tree of Liberty" bit.
You should be making yourself inconspicuous, Stevie.

**He says that like its a bad thing**
Big difference anyway...one is beautiful and historic and the other is bloated and corrupt. I suppose Cohen could not see the difference though.

Steve Cohen a jerk, besides being a leftist liberal Democrat lawyer-politician, that pretty much describes a real bottom feeder. Listen to Cohen and other Democrats like him, all they can do is use innuendo against President Trump, as that is all they have.

I thought this loud mouthed rat was leaving? Just another rat running going crazy because one man is starting to fumigate the swamp. Lots of RINOs want this President to stop because they are in on the same game as this liar from TN.

Steve Cohen participated in a coup to destroy the USA and lead us into a socialist dictatorship.
Steve needs to be dragged before the bench and tried for TREASON, then punished on a gibbet out on the Mall....
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
