    Yeah, it was those balls that got him out of military service and got him rich at the expense of those suckers who bought into Trump University. And he has admirers. No accounting for tastes.

    It's not about what he tweets. It's how his opponents react like clockwork.

    Example: He tweets that flag burners should have their citizenship revoked. What do his haters do? Burn flags and brag about it on social media of course. Planting a mental image across the world that people who hate Trump hate America too. A master troll.

    I feel bad for some of the people that have gotten the Trump endorsement. For example Pappa John lost a lot of sales because he was endorsed as the offcial pizza of white supremacists. Why? Because he publicly criticized the NFL for it's handling of the kneeling protests.
    And as we know a Nazi is one of the many good people on both sides now. They are to be respected among Republicans because they use free speech to say what they do. Poor Papa John did not mean it like that I think but anyone against something like that will be endorsed by a Nazi.

    Nazis also believe Taylor Swift will marry Trump's son and they will be the long term monarch of America since Trump is so old. She is an Aryan goddess to them. And because she plays country music a very Republican genre she can not say anything about that or else the typical country boy will not come to her show. Her saying nothing only confirms to the Nazi she is one of them because the liberal media will chastise her so she has to be silent. If she says anything her album sales are gone no matter how she may try to be intelligent about it no matter how much she might try to still be red. But she too has lot a lot of promotional opportunity's. No one who is not a Nazi wants to risk it.

    Hate and Republicanism are one and the same now. I know not every Republican is like that but the party as a whole does nothing to distance itself from those people. And Trump himself no doubt supports that same attitude of "not being a racist" despite holding very racist views. Instead placing the title of "racist" on those who call out their views. It is them who make the trouble by talking about it after all. Most Nazis will say they are not racist they respond to racists by being proud of who they are.

    Across the world? Doubt anyone cares that much. And the only idiots who care about who hates/does not hate America in America are the people who have been drinking the Fox news kool aid for years and voted for him anyways

    And back to my original point, you're glorifying a president because he's a good troll. Being a good troll is not a quality anyone needs in a world leader, it is a quality of a 13 year old boy.

    Also isnt purposely manipulating events to make his opponents appear not only to oppose him but to oppose America as a whole..isn't that sort of nationalistic appeal and intentional creation of faux enemies ...isnt that all a bit fascist. Why are you praising this behavior

    In our modern society, it's obviously best to not show approval or disapproval of anyone who is in the public eye.
    If you do, you are labeled by both sides.

    From what I've seen and noticed locally, some are sick of political correctness being jammed down people's throats since the mid 80's. It got out of hand in the last ten years. In my opinion, this is exactly what got Trump elected as President. Obama got away with so much, yet Nixon got leveled for a few minutes of a missing conversation on tape. It upset some older folks so bad, how much Mr. O got away with, some say "just because he was the first black president", that he was societally protected by this very stigma. Personally I didn't have a problem with having a black president, Herman Cain ran in 2012 and I would have had no problem with him. My first alerts were the rantings of Obama's reverend of 21 years, and his middle name being "Hussein", which sounds like a name from an area we've had bad issues come from for decades. My first thought was 9/11, and "haven't we had enough trouble from Islam for the last umpteen years?" (Terrorism...)

    The great “stimulus” heist

    Operation Fast and Furious

    Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress

    ObamaCare

    Spying on journalists

    The IRS scandal

    Benghazi

    Hillary Clinton’s secret server

    The Pigford scandal

    NSA spying scandal

    Iran nuclear deal and ransom payment

    Polluting the Colorado river

    The GSA scandal

    The VA death-list scandal

    Solyndra

    Secret Service gone wild

    Shutdown theater



    These are the subjects covered in the article. Now of course the argument “You got this from a Conservative website” is next, but does anyone believe that these instances would be covered by a Democratic website? Enough said.

    I’m not trying to “start something” with my post, just pointing out the facts that the administration is now labeling as a successful Presidency.

    “There were no problems, what’s all the fuss about?”


    One can hear and observe a cheating spouse raise this argument and ride it to divorce…

    Nazis? Seriously?
    If you can prove that Trump is officially a Nazi, we need proof. And then you can convince your Congressman to set up proceedings for Impeachment.

    VP Pence will do fine, he may be "Moderate" enough a Republican for everyone. He's more inclined to say the right things and not piss people off. We Indiana folks can be downright boring, so trying to find dirt on him might be challenging, I suggest you get a head start on that now, if so inclined.

    But I want to see a reference proving that Trump is a Nazi.
    How many countries he has taken over, how many Jews he has baked to their death, etc.

    And as for hatred, I don't think so.
    Tired of the political BS machine in Washington DC? Yes that is very highly likely.
    People are getting tired of "fake news", being told what to believe, what our Government is going to do (and we will have to "deal with it"...ad nauseum).
    If I saw any hatred in the last ten years, it was sheer disdain for being stuck with Obama, the one who could do anything and nobody dared call him out. He's the first black President, we can't fuck that up.
    Like I said earlier, I've no problem with race. Herman Cain would have been fine with me.
    But Hatred...No.
    I have seen a big push towards that direction on TV, coming from the Left, though.
    Even during the actual election, what was all that going on a few blocks away? It wasn't love, that's for sure.
    That was more like Hatred. Or possibly just sheer immaturity taken to a whole new level. Which resembled hatred.

    yes, apparently so...the Trump supporters I know don't like the Klan.

    Yes, I know the Klan stepped up and approved him as President. Hell, maybe Charlie Manson did too, is he going to get blamed for that, too?

    Another example of extremism. This is the attitude those people rioting down the street from the White House on election day possess. Radical Left-Wing at its finest hour.

    See what I did there?

    6-eyed is clutching at straws as usual. But not because he's a fan of Trump, but because he's a fan of trolling. Where he gets overboard with his praise is when he says 'trolled and beaten'. No dude, not really. The beaten part is between your ears. Wishful thinking. You portray it as such because you know it annoys the libtards.
    There are probably more people who think Trump has real nazi sympathies then there are people who think these Trump protesters who burned a flag did so because they actually hate the US ;) Winning!

    The Good Old Days Are Gone
    By James Warren, Contributing Editor for Opinion
    Jan. 25, 2017, at 1:00 p.m

    https://www.usnews.com/opinion/op-ed/articles/2017-01-25/trump-cant-bring-back-the-good-old-days

    From the article:

    ""But where does Trump's invoking of the past get us, whether he's talking about building pipelines or keeping auto jobs in this country? "My overall impatience is a combination of sorrow for the people who have lost things and impatience with the politicians or pundits who try to make them think they can get them back by turning back," says Coontz.

    You can't magically cherry-pick what you desire from days long gone. Back in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, lots of those workers to whom Trump alludes would have been unionized and virtually all white males. Those union rights were fairly well protected by an activist, post-World War II government. When women and minorities starting getting a few of those positions, they were protected, too.

    But it was also an era with dramatically higher corporate taxes and the wealthiest slice of Americans paid an effective tax rate of 70 percent. The rich had fewer ways of buying political influence due to court rulings and regulations involving everything from political spending to how banks operated.

    "Those are all things that Trump doesn't want to go back to but they were very much intertwined (with what he now craves)," says Coontz. Government, corporations and unions were all stakeholders and one just couldn't force regulations, or re-regulation, down the throats of workers.

    One couldn't, or didn't, just slash wages, challenge unions or move jobs, first to low-wage sections of the American South, then overseas. That's all changed.

    It's led to working class hostility toward immigration at the same time Trump's supporters in the corporate class have specifically reached out to low-wage immigrants to employ them and save money, including in the real estate sector in which he's flourished.""

    Nixon resigned because he would have been the first president removed from office. Members of his reelection campaign were caught wiretapping and stealing their opponent's documents. Nixon tried to cover it up by providing hush money and instructing the CIA to block the FBI investigation. When the existence of the tapes was revealed he then ordered the firing of Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor, leading to the resignation of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus because they refused to fire Cox. The Solicitor General Robert Bork, then fired Cox. All this was in an attempt to block the release of the tapes.
    Nixon then ordered the FBI to close the offices of Special Prosecutor, Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General.
    The 18 minutes of missing information on one tape were deemed eased on purpose, the ("Rose Mary Stretch").
    Then came the "Smoking Gun Tape" in which
    Hardly "a few minutes of a missing conversation on tape."

    I understand...however, how is it that 40+ years later, Hillary Clinton was taking classified info home to her private server, not prosecuted and allowed to run for President of the United States?
    I have a fair bit of knowledge from my studies for the Legal profession, that your work is to stay in the office, and certainly not allowed to go anywhere without a court order. This applies to Lawyers, who can be disbarred for this, and their Paralegals as well, in which case the Paralegal could lose their job, and since their Lawyer is responsible for their Paralegal's actions, said Lawyer can be disbarred for that as well.

    This is hardly becoming of a Government Official to breach this rule, but she gets to run for President, while, as you correctly and thoroughly covered very well, President Nixon was held accountable for his actions.
    IOW, to the average citizen, the difference in the guilt of wrongdoing and consequences of such action lies in what political party you represent.

    This is how things appear to many U.S. Citizens.
    That is my point. It is a very unfair double standard.

    Oh but wait. Using liberal logic, you must not site past events. You can only site something that is in a current news cycle. The fact that Clinton's are completely irrelevant now, they aren't in office....is the argument. So be careful, last week may be irrelevant if it makes a liberal look bad.

    It's a minute by minute cherry picking they live by. Soon if something happened yesterday, it will have no bearing on today.

    I blame only those that drink the Kool-Aid of the leadership seeking the votes. Don't judge me by my past, look at how wonderful I appear today.

    Unbelievable to me that Trump's supporters do not care one bit about the assaults on the environment.
    Well, i guess it is believable, as i see it over and over again.....but a hard pill to swallow. what a sorry sadness this world has become. :(
