Trump isn't going anywhere.
His base is now apoplectic, and he has historical low approval ratings. Recent interviews with people who voted for Trump (not those who ID as right wing voters) are very disappointed in him. He's also slowly sinking under the weight of this Russian investigation (if you like to admit it or not.) Completing his term would be a miracle. Getting elected for a second term isn't even realistic.
This discussion about the Dems is odd. The GOP is in control, and aren't accomplishing anything right now. They are completely dysfunctional.
Perhaps that's why Trump decided to extend an Olive Branch to the left side of the aisle? Maybe there is some part of him that is frustrated with the Republicans and would actually like to get things done other than Tweeting all day. But with him I really have no idea. Maybe he just wanted to troll the righties whom he felt weren't being nice to him?

Bernie has no way to pay for his plan outside jacking up everyone's taxes.
It's not as if it's going to happen anyway.

If Dems keep going left there's going to be no one for the middle to vote for but Trump. A fake republican moron who wants to be loved or a real radical who wants to run an experiment on our healthcare and economy. If the economy is still good in three years I don't see him losing to a leftist.
I was rooting for Kamala until she sided with Bernie. If she goes back to the center I'll change my mind, but that doesn't look like the direction she's going... Like Pasnow said, see Hillary's strategy.
I think you're overreacting to Bernie's latest pitch. It's unlikely to pick up traction, although I think it's a good idea.
I doubt the economy will be like this by election time. We're way over due for a recession. I also don't believe Trump will be in office in 3 years, much less be running for office again. The Russian investigation isn't some Benghazi non-sense...

China is looking to ban fossil fuel vehicles by 2030. That's a game changer, and we're going to be behind the green energy tech boom.
We're already behind IMO...and proud of it.
Rollin' coal!

#746 Re: The Garden » Hurricane Irma » 478 weeks ago
I'm expect 100's of millions of dollars worth of damage. I grew up in Florida, and you just kind of get used to Hurricanes. You prepare, board up the house, get everything ready...and then it just rains. This happens a lot, and why so many people in those areas are so lax about it. Although every now and then one comes through and does serious damage. One year our house flooded.
My ex GF was in her parents' house in Miami for hurricane Andrew. They rented movies, cooked a bunch of food, and did not anticipate what would happen next. Hours later they ended up in the bathroom together, with a mattress over their heads, praying as the roof was ripped off. When it was over and they went in the front yard, the enormous tree that was there all her life, was gone...nowhere to be seen.
Glad I don't live there anymore.

I said it at the top of my post. I'm not denying it. Are you denying you took my private photos and posted them at your site?
Total BS. I only posted them on gay dating sites.

Of course he left out that he posted my real name on HTGTH....which of course was purely on accident and with zero malice.

We've been through this several times.
Nobody here is an angel. Everybody slings it. But only a couple of them cry like little babies about it when others reciprocate. If you can't dish it, don't serve it.
Both these people also give out negative karma, say inflammatory things, and are all around nasty to other posters they disagree with.
Now one of them has threatened to Dox two members here. Letting us know that our clients won't be pleased to read our thoughts on politics.
Get a grip already...

He's right Mitch. You accuse people here of being racist yet you're the one throwing around these slurs. Is it projecting or simply using it for dramatic effect(most likely)? Either way, drop it.

It's clearly for dramatic effect.
Context is everything.
