The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump is insistent on breaking his campaign promise, even if he has to shut down the goverment to do it.

Like threats he made in 2017 and 2018 but didn't follow through on, Trump once again is threatening to shut down the government if he is unable to force the U.S. taxpayers to fund his wall, the one he said would be financed by Mexico, then the U.S. taxpayers directly, then through the U.S. military by shifting taxpayer money. His statement was referring to the next budget that needs to be passed in September 2018.

Trump made the remark at a campaign-style rally in Washington Township in Macomb County, MI. Trump's appearances are known to be campaign rallies disguised as other events. This rally was to counter the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Trump didn't attend the WHCD in 2017 but had said he would attend the event in 2018. He changed his mind and didn't attend.


Trump:

"We need security. We need the wall," he said, adding, "We come up again on September 28th, and if we don't get border security, we'll have no choice. We'll close down the country because we need border security."

 

Washington Township isn't exactly the down and outers who got left behind, although Trump may think so. It is 93% white. Household income is $82K and medium housing value is $244K.

 

Flashback.

Conservatives upset about the right of Michelle Obama to bare arms. Quiet about photos of Melania Trump nude in handcuffs with a gun and diamonds.

Now government agencies are infallible--at least the state ones, not the "Deep State" ones at the federal level? Like other government agencies, state fish and wildlife agencies are vulnerable to political exigencies, and at present are on the prowl for new sources of funding. More than half of the average agency's budget comes from license sales or other user fees--hence the temptation to encourage hunting. I'm sure that most state game officials are conscientious, but they are also human and the political environment in which they operate varies from state to state. Your conspiracy theory about new "leftist" conspiracy theorists out to get the state wildlife agencies is an hallucination.

 

Wait... you mean religious people are hypocrites?

 

Saudi Arabia and Japan were Trump's scapegoats in the 1980's.

Trump supporters are still chanting “Lock her up.”


In a Very Different Washington, Trump Unloads on a Litany of Adversaries
By Emily Cochrane
April 28, 2018

excerpt:

"Crowded on the AstroTurf of a sports complex, supporters chanted “Lock her up” at the mention of Hillary Clinton, booed every reference to a Democrat, and chanted “Nobel” when the president boasted that he deserved virtually all the credit for the historic summit meeting between Kim Jong-un of North Korea and President Moon Jae-in of South Korea on Friday."

 

I don't think he was 100% responsible, but as much as it pains me to admit it, I think Trump did play some role in that.

 

"The test of intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” - F Scott Fitzgerald

One can see that overpopulation is a major problem, and still feel empathy for human suffering. I don't actually hope that Machinist is eaten by a bear.

 

IF P therefore Q
If P+Q=result
Therefore P=Q=result if the writer said the warden said it, the second write can quote the source and claim the same or similar premise. It might look like a slippery slope argument but also could be construed as a hypothetical syllogism. Wouldn't all Republicans who are fond of Strawman arguments agree?

 

In Environmental Ethics, Dr. Rolston Holmes III talks about this. He argued that while in the state of nature it is about the survival of the fittest, human being have a moral duty to stop killing for the sake of vanity. Examples of this vanity would be the killing of an endangered animal for the sake of making expensive hand bags, shoes, or lawyer satchels. The killing of an elephant for the sake of a photograph with its tail---as Trump's sons have done---would be killing for vanity. The killing of bears would be for vanity. If Republicans want to eat meat they should be forced to go to Walmart and buy factory made sausages.

 

You don't have to be a Trump supporter to dislike the Clintons. After watching Bill con the "youth vote" by playing his sax on Arsenio Hall and suggesting he'd reform marijuana laws, only to do the exact opposite once in office, I have not cared for establishment democrats. I was reminded of this when I watch the infamous "Clinton Machine" roll over Bernie (who is lucky to be alive).

I would have voted for Swiss Chard and Ernest T Bass before casting a vote for another Clinton. I don't care if Hillary goes to jail (which I highly doubt is possible), unless of course, she deserves to go. And that has not yet been proven.

 

The same could be said of Dennis Rodman.

 

I seriously doubt trump had anything to do with the meeting between Kim Jong-un, and Moon Jae-in. I will give credit to Xi Jing Ping, of China.
If trump gets a Nobel Peace Prize, I want one too.

 

I dont get why their meeting is supposed to be such a great thing anyways

We're talking about a man who has starved his people, forced them into work camps, brainwashed them...who knows what kind of horrors we would find if we were really allowed to see into North Korea, past the tiny window they allow the rest of the world to see.

This would be like celebrating a friendship between Hitler and Churchill or something

 

Because a few months ago, we were talking about nuclear war.

Suggesting the Nobel prize for threatening nuclear war, and not following through is called Stockholm Syndrome.

 

I'm not sure why the two Koreas trying to reach a peace agreement is such a bad thing to you guys.

 

It isn't.

 

Granted I haven't been following you religiously, but I honestly don't think I have ever seen a non-strawman post from you.
