The Donald Trump Score Card

Starr was the president of Baylor University until being fired for failing to investigate sexual harassment claims, how ironic.

 

Why do we have to look it up for you? I am old and could not remember the totals, and so looked it up. Russia won 86 wars over the years. And I don't want to list them all on here. You can look it up your self or you can go to Helen Wait.

 

And yet he was seriously interested in asking Monica about that cigar episode … huh?

 

You don't think appointing Starr is to help make it a circus?. Dude is 73, not like he is in his prime and is going to be on the ball

He was chosen because he was the Lewinsky guy, a constant reminder of the Clintons

 

Just wondering.... Who's paying for all these fancy lawyers? Taxpayers?

 

Good Question …

 

Trump is contending that his impeachment is a brazen attack on the American people's right to vote.

'Brazen and unlawful': Trump team attacks House impeachment effort in first formal response

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump launched his first formal attack on the House’s effort to remove him from office on Saturday, calling the Democrats’ impeachment case against him fatally flawed and “constitutionally invalid” while blasting the effort as a political hit job by his adversaries.

“This is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election — now just months away,” Trump’s lawyers argued in a six-page response filed with the Senate just days before the president’s trial begins in earnest.

 

Trump made a similar statement about keeping Iraq's oil when he addressed the CIA in a hapless speech in front of the wall of fallen agents.



Trump says he wants to keep Syria’s oil. Here’s the problem

Trump says he wants to keep Syria's oil. Here's the problem

excerpts:

"They’re the tattered vestiges of Syria’s long-crippled oil industry, which has become the latest justification for President Trump’s on-again, off-again policy to keep a U.S. presence in the country’s northeast.

“We want to bring our soldiers home. But we did leave soldiers because we’re keeping the oil,” said Trump on Friday, before adding, “I like oil. We’re keeping the oil.”

The problem is, there isn’t much oil to keep."


"On Saturday, Assad heaped sarcastic praise on Trump in an interview on state TV, calling him “the best American president.”

“Trump speaks with transparency to say ‘We want the oil.’ This is the reality of American politics since the Second World War at least,” said Assad.

“What do we want more than a transparent adversary?”"

 

Trump is mentally deranged. He picked a fight with Iran, it spilled over into Iraq, and he picked a fight with Iraq.

 

That shit just cracks me up, and you lot take it serious. He knows full well they arent keeping the oil

Then Assad's response

"the best American president.”

That's some funny shit

 

Trump's compulsion to rail against institutions has worsened since he took office.


Trump Is Attacking Any Institution That Challenges Him
The president has displayed a willingness to go after the press, the intelligence community, and now even the judiciary.

Trump Is Attacking Any Institution That Challenges Him

excerpt:

"Already, Trump's sustained assault on our most important institutions raises legitimate and enormously consequential questions. One is whether he is, at his core, a (small d) democrat and intends to govern as one, or as something else entirely. Another is whether other institutions with a voice in American society, such as the private sector, artists and entertainers, professional athletes or academia, will increasingly join the fray, and at what cost? And finally, will the institutions he already seems to be systematically eroding have the fortitude to continue standing against a withering onslaught that seems likely to continue in the coming years?"

Trump perceives global cooperation as anti-patriotic.



Trump’s Globalism Is a Caricature of Multilateralism
When it comes to international cooperation, the White House is repeating the mistakes of the past.

Trump’s Globalism Is a Caricature of Multilateralism

excerpt:

"Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump opened his speech to the United Nations General Assembly with a glance backward, citing the seven decades of history through which the organization has passed. He went on to call for a retreat from the multilateral institutions the United States created after World War II and a return to crude nationalism—embodying the philosopher George Santayana’s warning, often dismissed as an old saw, that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

From his “America First” campaign slogan, borrowed from U.S. isolationists of the 1930s, to his aggressive pursuit of tariffs—which recall the Smoot-Hawley Act, the set of protectionist policies that economists say greatly exacerbated the Great Depression—Trump’s path to the future appears to consist mostly of moving backward.

“The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots,” Trump told the General Assembly. This echoed his remarks to the U.N. a year earlier: “We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism.” But patriotism is not a doctrine, and his words seemed intended to erase the patriotism of the enlightened U.S. realists who shaped global economic and political institutions in the aftermath of World War II—an order that was created to avoid repeating the economic disaster of the Depression and the devastation of World War II, in which an estimated 60 million people died.

The president’s understanding of history is premised on a false contradiction: Contrary to what Trump says, one can create and support cooperative institutions and coalitions in order to protect and advance U.S. interests, without sacrificing patriotism. There was nothing unpatriotic about the creation and empowerment of NATO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank, which gave primacy to the U.S. dollar, leveraged U.S. financial aid, and brought 70 years of prosperity and security."

 

So?

 

Lolz, Camo uniforms for spaaaaaaace fooooorce

Yeah, he's such a card! lol, lol. Like Caligula, had 'em rollin' in the isles in the Roman forum. Makin' his horse a senator. lol, lol, lol . Trump hasn't thought of that one yet! lol, lol, lol What are we laughing about? We have an incompetent lunatic in the White House!

 

Incompetent lunatic? You sure about that?

How much harder is it for future presidents to pretend invading middle eastern countries isn't about oil?

I have heard the conspiracy theory many many times here on HF that invading Iraq was all about the oil. Silences those types too.

 

The bottom line is this. Trump realizes he can't win an election based on merits, so he has to resort to skullduggery.

 

Hey folks, let's ignore vg. don't respond to his bs. He will have his feelings hurt, and fly the coop.

 

Well, you never back up your position anyway.

Your responses to me in this thread are always along the lines of - well, your face, that's why

In fact, the whole 944 pages of this thread, none of you really do expand on anything. It's mostly egger posting 6 articles a day, and the rest of you reply with uh huh uh huh uh huh Trump's a mental patient. Then being each others like buddies.

There isn't actually a whole lot of political discussion in this whole thread
