Re: President Trump
So Trump calls Qatar a haven for terrorism, but sells 12 billions dollars worth of military aircraft to them? Seems legit.

I seem to recall 14 being from Saudi Arabia, 1 from Egypt, 2 from the United Arab Emirates and 1 from Lebanon... How many of those countries are on Drumpf's hit list along with Qatar?

Re: President Trump
Trump had his buddy tell the press he was thinking of firing mueller. Mueller is playing chess while trump is playing tic tac toe. Muellers team leaks to press trump under investigation. Now trump can't do shit about the investigation.Judge Smails wrote:The President Of The United States is now under investigation for obstruction of justice

I don't understand trump and his supporters problem with this investigation. There is a lot of smoke and questionable things that need to be checked out, if he truly didn't do anything, the only way to get past it, is to have a legitimate investigation done by the best team possible so nobody can claim bias. Mueller has put together a team of all stars.
What is going to be crazy, is if it is determined trump didn't do anything with Russia, but his impulsivity, tweets, and just trying to influence closing an investigation into something that isn't there, results in him getting charged with obstruction and impeached. Can you imagine the meltdowns the cons and fox would be having?

Re: President Trump
Trump would make a terrible criminal. He's just too fucking stupid. He makes a big deal out of repeatedly stating in the termination letter that Comey told him several times he wasn't the focus of the investigation and in doing so, he manages to create enough suspicion that now he IS a focus of the investigation.
This is like a criminal being eliminated from the suspect list in a murder and then high fiving everybody he can find and yelling "HOLY SHIT, THEY THINK I DIDN'T DO IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"

Re Flynn. It's no more or less than what Ryan said ie: "The President is new to government"
That's the answer. It's nothing more than that. He is simply ignorant.
Flynn had been fired. His career is over. He's a pariah. In private business it happens all the time where an employee commits an offense and the employer goes no farther than firing him in spite of offences that could make them go farther than that. "Ah he's got 3 kids...his career is over and he's suffered enough. He's not really that bad a dude!". That is just human nature and the way things work in a private corp. Loss of career is considered a tough enough punishment for pretty much any offense short of a financial fleecing.
You can't do that when you are the President of the United States of America. He does not understand the weight of his office and the ramifications. He never set out to "obstruct justice" with Flynn he was just a dumbass that does not understand this isn't an employee in his private corp that was caught with his hand somewhere it should not be. Hilariously, Trump was trying to be the good guy benevolent corp owner. Of course ignorance is no defence. It is an explanation though.

Re: President Trump
Are there still Trump supporters around or have you banned them all? I see you've done a solid job of maintaining an echo chamber of idiots here. To answer your question about Trump's agenda:Metal Sludge wrote: He can't answer that. No Trump supporter can.
Have you ever noticed that all the Trump supporters on this board only parrot Fox News talking points?
Seriously, I haven't seen a single argument, about how Trump's agenda will benefit anyone.
1. The proposed policies (tax/regulation reform) have created market optimism and growth with its pro business agenda. This helps every working American saving for retirement in their 401k or IRA. It also helps every retired American living off of their 401k. Our 401k's won't do well if businesses aren't growing.
2. Small businesses and startups will be helped immensely with loosening regulations. Competitive corporate tax rates will encourage domestic investment.
3. Infrastructure spending will be a boon for middle class workers. Job demand will increase and drive up wages.
4. Owners of companies with increasing profits encouraged to do work here will make more money. I know, the rich fucks don't need money!!! Which brings us to the last point.
5. The top 1% (despite all their unfair loopholes) pay almost 50% of all taxes. That means the other 99% of us pay the other 50%. If these rich assholes "not paying their fair share" make more money, that means more cash for all federal programs supporting the poor people with no 401k, no job, etc. Poor people benefit from a rich country that can afford social programs.
But I know, it's all rigged!! Enjoy your echo chamber of idiocy, maybe I'll check back in a few months, if I'm not banned.

And let me just throw this out there . . . how long ago was it that Trump said that the Constitution is bad for America and "Makes us look weak"?
What would the right wing nut jobs have said if Obama said something like that? You know that they'd still be losing their minds over that yet it's already forgotten because Drumpf keeps spewing out so much crap on a daily basis. We're not even halfway through year one and it already feels like four years.

By contrast, Trump's whole business life was a grift. Trump probably thought he was overlapping the new blueprint onto the old one, but they're not the same. Also, he's been stupid enough to try to make personal profits while being president in full view of the world. He's learning the hard way that government life has different aims and a completely different set of rules, and this will be his undoing.

Re: President Trump
Trump was a motormouth with a platform and an audience due to his television gig. He wasn't a politician or even a respected journalist, just some loudmouth reality TV personality who felt it was his business to offer constant, uninformed critiques. He had no business hammering away at Obama in the way that he did, especially as he is someone regarded as one of the bigger figures in the birther movement.Machado wrote:Remember when Trump went out of his way to claim that Obama was spending or wasting so much money on travel while in Office.

Watch, now that there's legislation about to be passed about protecting social media content such as tweets, it will be a crime for Trump to delete his. I'm sure people have been archiving and taking screenshots of all of his tweets since the election though. And I'm sure Trump will delete some of them again, and people will simply add that to his list of crimes.

Republicans and Teatards were pissed after the GOP failed to oust Obama in 2012.
Drumpf easily appealed to the hatred of Obama that conservatives had spent years stoking and he had prominently and repeatedly, questioned whether Obama had been born in the United States,(even after the birth certificate was released) accused him daily on Twitter of hating America and instilled fear in his flock of Islamic boogeymen, immigrants stealing jobs and guns and Christmas being taken away..
It did not matter to conservatives that he was a adulterer, thrice married perv who happily admitted to grabbing women by the pussy, believing his daughter was a "piece of ass" and purposely hanging out backstage at Miss Teen USA to look around at the half nude contestants, couldn't quote the Bible correctly, he was the only guy in the GOP field that had a shot at becoming president in America in 2016..
Too bad for America he was the most inept choice, even next to what the Dems handed America as their candidate..
