So much for austerity
They stand for nothing.
Also they'll cut a trillion from Medicaid and half a trillion from Medicare in order to give cuts to their wealthy pals/corporations. All while piling on the debt.

Kelly got up there and stated that he coached Trump on the call before hand, pointing to that phrase specifically. However, Trump claimed those words were never uttered and that it was all made up by the Congresswoman. So once again we have a pathological liar with zero tact, and one of his staff saying something completely different. Either way you slice it, Trump proves himself to be an ass yet again.

We still have several years worth of investigations into BENGHAZI?!?!?!?! to pay for...probably can't afford any more investigations.
haha, that would be rich. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT!!!!
Same thing they said once Obama became president, suddenly fiscal conservatism was of top tier importance.

The stories starting to trickle out about Niger make it sound on par or far worse than Benghazi. Let’s see how this plays out, but I’m guessing the GOP will puss out on a legitimate probe.
Over a dozen embassy attacks and 60 dead during Bush admin...nary a peep from the GOP. They saw an opportunity with Benghazi and they milked it for all it was worth (which turned out to be nothing.)
Trump also just graded his PR response as a "10" today.

Could you imagine if PR happened on Obama's watch?
How about dissing a war widow (guess he knew what he signed up for, huh?) like Trump just did?
Niger? (think they are going to have 13 "investigations" with Sean Hannity talking about it every single night for the next 3 years? I'm going to guess not)
Offering to send 25k to a soldier's family, but never making good on his promise?
Accusing the FBI of colluding against him.
Lying about previous presidents contacting the families of soldiers who had died in combat.
All while taunting and mocking a war hero?
Just imagine if it was Obama doing this.
The Republican outrage has been lowered to a whisper...

The craziness never stops:
in case you're interested, the president of United States just accused the FBI of engaging in treason with Russia https://t.co/nnYv1s55Mb

Alienating our allies? Let's see the proof and not the rhetoric.
NK war? Pretty sure that happened once already. I don't see how we're any closer than we were when Obama was ignoring it.
Healthcare? Pretty sure you're overreacting on that. I work in healthcare and this isn't even a blip on the radar.
PR is corrupt beyond belief. They need to take some responsibility for their own problems. Supplies have been there. A cruise ship is sitting in port housing the help. Do you want Don to go plug the power in himself? WTF...
Coal? You're worried about coal? Good lord.
Did I miss any non-issues that you're trying to make into an issue because it fits your agenda?
The sky is blue.
No it's not, prove it!
Rinse/repeat.
That's why having a "conversation" with guys like you and Flagg is a waste of time. Jesus himself could come down to testify...wouldn't matter. Either way, if you think Trump's lack of legislative accomplishments means "nothing is happening" then you're not too bright. He's a bull in a china shop, destroying everything in his path while amping up conflict with another asshole in NK. Mostly importantly our relations with the rest of the planet. Something Flagg thinks is going just swimmingly, and Obama was much worse at relations, which as I said is just bonkers.

Buzz is right about Pence, and Trump doing nothing.
Puerto Rico certainly would agree Trump is doing nothing.
Hey, he gave them some paper towels and a loan they can't pay back. What else do they want?
#699 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 472 weeks ago
You guys are way too caught up in the soap opera and not really paying attention to what's actually happening, which is very little.
You keep saying this and you're wrong of course. It's almost as if you are not paying attention.
He's not accomplishing anything good for the country without a doubt, but he's most certainly making things worse. Alienating our allies. Pushing NK towards war with his childish Twitter antics. While it's surely going to the courts, he just signed an EO that will fuck up 1/6th of the economy and drive millions off of healthcare. Millions more in PR are without water and electricity. He's signed another EO which started the removal of regulations on coal plants. His action, inaction, and mental state are a danger to this country. Pence is a religious zealot and weirdo, but he's not a wrecking ball like Trump. I won't speak for anybody here, but I find it difficult to believe they'll be wishing Trump was back in office after he implodes/is run out.

Even worse, they're trying to pass that guy off as President.
