Foreign policy, he's doing a good job, a lot of it might be accidental but it is what it is -Mexican government cracked down on illegals - When is the last time Nth Korea fired a missile over anyone's head? - Turkey into Syria, nothing really happened there - Pulled out of Afghanistan - China's on the back foot ( my favourite part) - Then there is Iran, whack the head of their Gestapo, which most people in Iran hated anyway, combine that with unfortunately shooting down a plane full of of their own people...a week later you have mass protests call for the heads of other generals, and the supreme poo bah to step down - oh, and Taiwanese win a landslide victory. And Hong Kong flips the CPC the finger because they dont really believe China will do anything whilst the US is looking too closely So far anyway, he's like the least warmongering president you've had in half a century
There are two kinds of people in America. Them who can think for themselves, and them who accept anything Trump says.
Trump hasnt pulled us out of Afghanistan by the way. But to be fair, that isnt really his fault. I dont think a different president would be able to pull us out either
Well, mostly Anyway, as for this thread, it's all good fun. You know it's mostly alcohol right?, 30, 40 years of throwing them back, shrinks the brain, that along with testosterone levels, they get in their 60s, get angry and frustrated all the time, and they don't really know why. Better to get on the net and rant, than take it out on the ones they live with. Half of them probably won't even bother voting next november
No, I don't drink, I got hammered Xmas day on g & t, but that was the first time in years. Then on Boxing day I remembered you guys, and I got scared, ohh, I don't want to end up like that Rarrr rar rar rar, Trump's the new Hitler because of that one guy in Charlottesville rar rar rar rar
Federal judge blocks Trump order allowing local governments to refuse refugees The decision comes less than a week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said his state would not accept new refugees, making it the first in the nation to do so. By Daniella Silva and Laura Strickler Jan. 15, 2020, 12:34 PM EST / Updated Jan. 15, 2020, 1:02 PM EST Judge blocks Trump order allowing local governments to refuse refugees excerpt: "A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration order that allowed state and local governments to refuse the resettling of refugees, finding the policy likely “unlawful.” U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte, of Maryland, ordered the preliminary injunction on the Trump administration’s executive order, which requires state and local governments to affirmatively consent to the receiving of refugees. The decision comes less than a week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said his state would not accept new refugees, making it the first in the nation to do so."
Nixon enthusiasts are still claiming that the mound of evidence that caused Nixon to resign was actually proof of his innocence. They proffer conspiracy-truther rhetoric, with little meangingful evidence to support such claims, that portrays Nixon as a good person who was misled by people around him. Similar victimhood rhetoric is used to support Trump whose behavior of refusing to turn over documents is very similar to that of Nixon. The case is going to the Supreme Court, similar to Nixon's refusal to turn over the Watergate tapes. Roger Stone has been a hardcore Nixon enthusiast since he worked in Nixon's administration during his re-election campaign. He's an ardent Trump supporter. Stone was convicted in 2019. Roger Stone Convicted On All Charges Stemming From Mueller Probe The Trump henchman was found guilty Friday of lying about his WikiLeaks contacts and attempting to obstruct federal investigations. By Eric Lutz November 15, 2019 Roger Stone Convicted On All Charges Stemming From Mueller Probe excerpt: "Roger Stone, a former close adviser to Donald Trump, was found guilty on all counts, among them lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks during the 2016 race, and attempting to cover it up by tampering with witnesses and concealing evidence from investigators. The verdict, delivered Friday, came after a week-and-a-half-long trial and around nine hours of jury deliberation, and will likely result in prison time for the eccentric 67-year-old Trump ally. Stone was arrested in January on charges stemming from then-special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which also brought down former Trump campaign chief and longtime Stone ally Paul Manafort. Prosecutors alleged that Stone acted as a middleman between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign, attempted to impede federal investigators into the matter, and attempted to persuade witnesses to “provide false testimony to and withhold pertinent information from the investigations.” He attempted to mislead investigators because the truth would have “looked terrible” for him and the president, prosecutors argued in court, the New York Times reported Friday."
Trump impeachment trial set to throw Democratic primary into disarray Jon Ward Jon Ward, Senior Political Correspondent Yahoo News January 14, 2020, 5:17 PM EST Trump impeachment trial set to throw Democratic primary into disarray excerpt: "That puts the beginning of arguments at the end of next week. There’s only one week after that before the Iowa caucuses. If the trial lasts only two weeks, it’ll end the week before Feb. 11, when voters in New Hampshire go to the polls to pick the Democratic candidate. But it’s very possible that the trial will last three weeks, putting it into the week of the state’s primary. And if the Senate decides to call witnesses, it could go even longer, overshadowing the Feb. 22 Nevada caucuses, possibly even lasting right up until the Feb. 29 South Carolina primary. For candidates who are struggling to stay afloat financially, like Klobuchar and Bennet, this could be a fatal body blow. It already helped push another Democratic senator, Cory Booker of New Jersey, out of the race on Monday. In an email to supporters announcing his decision to suspend his campaign, Booker suggested he no longer saw a path to victory because, among other things, “the urgent business of impeachment will rightly be keeping me in Washington.” "
They’re not gonna beat this guy. He’s a freakin bulldozer. He’s a horses ass as far as social skills but he can read this country’s mood better than anyone. And his governance is working. The country is certainly not losing right now.
Trump Says ‘Tough Guy’ President Lyndon B. Johnson Might Be In Hell, Too Ed Mazza HuffPost January 15, 2020, 1:15 AM EST Trump Says ‘Tough Guy’ President Lyndon B. Johnson Might Be In Hell, Too excerpt: "President Donald Trump once again cracked that a deceased politician may be in hell, suggesting Tuesday night that former President Lyndon B. Johnson could be “looking up” from below. But he added that wherever Johnson is, he probably approves of Trump’s phone calls with world leaders ― specifically the call in which he pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Trump was impeached last month on charges of abuse of power and obstructing Congress over the incident. “Lyndon Johnson was sort of a tough guy. Can you imagine his phone calls?” Trump said during a rally in Milwaukee. “He’s probably looking down, or looking up.” The crowd laughed at the line."
