The Trump Presidency

[Julio3000]

Wow

Talk about a trigger warning.

I was commenting on the fact that the same journalist criticized Trump for not seeing the troops, then the next day criticizes Trump for seeing the troops. I.e, no matter what the guy does, y'all are gonna set your hair on fire to criticize.

Sorry that was so complicated for y'all. Carry on

Not a journalist, but ok.

I think it’s dumb to criticize Trump for not visiting troops deployed overseas, because it’s manifestly obvious that he doesn’t give a **** about anyone but himself, and it’s one of those empty pro-forma political gestures anyway. And you are correct that some people are going to criticize him either way. But when you’re talking about “derangement syndrome,” you really have to get a bit of self-awareness. You routinely post tweets from randos (this guy was the unsuccessful D candidate for Paul Ryan’s seat) to make your points about this or that thing, like it wouldn’t be dead simple to do the corresponding thing in the other direction...the thing is, you have to care enough to do it. Clearly you do, which maybe indicates that you’ve got a touch of Owning the Libs Syndrome.

I've stated many many times that Trump has so much to legitimately criticize, yet it all gets diluted when he gets criticized for literally everything. Goldy was an example on this board, and then super and sav quickly jumped on to the "props!" narrative.

As Cuomo stated in one of my earlier posts, "The partisanship that forces you to ignore all that isn't negative is toxic"

I appreciate the reasonable reply, though.

, yet it all gets diluted when he gets criticized for literally everything.

.

Remember when he tried to ban a religion from entering US ?
That got forgotten in the fog of throwing paper towels in PR after the island was (still is) devastated by a natural disaster where the Trump admin got less than -- well, less than ...
Got in a fight with a mayor trying to get supplies for her constituents

How about the Gold Star Family?
didn't think it would get much lower - you ?

We have to hold his feet to the fire everyday because seems everyday he does something where we each say that this has to be the nadir.
But then he all but tells a 7 year old --- well, you know what he did.

He is the ****ing President of the USA - and he says that to a 7 year old.

Lucky for the 7 year old his/her parents are citizens (?) -- or he/she might wind up in a cage

[57Brave]

His game is "shoot someone on 5th Avenue and no one cares"

Apparently you are "no one"

[sturg33]

You are incapable of distinguishing "doesn't get offended by everything the man does" with "supports everything the man does"

His policies have lapped his predecessors but I will not be throwing my vote his way in two years

[57Brave]

you have ceaselessly defended Trump since November 2016.
and if not defended excused or even better enabled.

You sound like a battered woman - oh it isnt that bad, he'll stop. Where should people stop criticizing Trump?
Was it the Gold Star Families, that thing with McCain? Or the Mexican rapists ?
Or the judge of Mexican descent?




Quit trying to rewrite your record. He has you on the "no one" list

[57Brave]

for the record, I am offended by 99% of what he does

sigh

I legitimately can't even imagine being such a partisan as you are.

Lost cause

[57Brave]

curious, what is partisan?

5 years ago I was called partisan for advocating some form of climate regulation

15 years ago for advocting for LGBT -- all pretty mainstream stuff today

Now I am partisan for criticizing the President for giving up Santa to a 7 year old
............

I was partisan for supporting a man running against a purported child molester.

The charge of partisan rings hollow

tell us all more about the glorious tax bill -- that (R) couldn't get away from fast enough during mid terms
Then go read up on the history of partisan politics.
Not so sure you are using the term properly

[57Brave]

one more then I will leave this alone

the ****ing guy is a slum lord that discriminates by color and ethnicity.
Regardless party.
$ next to a donut he was registered (D) while in that business

Trump's lawyers are using the government shutdown to

ask for a delay in a court case over claims that he is illegally

profiting from business his Washington hotel does with foreign countries

Why? His lawyers aren't shutdown. It's a perfect time for these proceedings. He isn't doing anything but Tweeting and watching TV.

[goldfly]

nothing was hard to understand about what you posted at me

it also wasn't hard to see how it relates to your response on what he did when he finally did go see the troops

As ****ty as it sounds thats the reality of low income housing if you want to make a profit. I have managed HUD homes. It might not make you racist but I guarantee you you will end up making decisions that on the outside appear racist if you manage low income housing.

[57Brave]

Outside v Inside Racism !!!

HUD housing is expected to turn a profit ?

[The Chosen One]

The Trump administration has targeted an Obama-era regulation credited with helping dramatically reduce toxic mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants, saying the benefits to human health and the environment may not be worth the cost of the regulation.

Unreal.

Overall, environmental groups say, federal and state efforts have cut mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants by 85 percent in roughly the last decade.

Outside v Inside Racism !!!

HUD housing is expected to turn a profit ?

HUD homes are not government owned. The government pays a portion of their rent depending on their income. Pretty sure I have gone over my HUD stories a few times before.

[57Brave]

You did.
I didnt know the answer to the question.
Thanks

Target rich environment.

must be over 20 investigations currently running of his businesses, his campaign, his foundation, his transition and inauguration, and his administration...most involve potential criminal activity by people he appointed or hired

It takes some serious chutzpah for a guy whose political signature is anti-immigrant demagoguery to be making a significant part of his living in the hospitality industry.
