The Donald Trump Score Card

My stance on farmers is that they shouldn't be getting government handouts, no matter how precious the support of the American farmer is. They should get a second job to try and pay off what they owe. America is a capitalist country, not a socialist one. We have to work for what we earn here.

 

America is , and within that you are free to join a commune . I choose to be freely non-profit . Perhaps
this will kill me ... I don't know . We know some of this prairie should never have been plowed . The land
inevitably will return to balance . What is 'balance' in politics . Peace ?

The peaceful will not obsess about Trump .

 

Funny how these Australians are so infatuated by OUR political process!

 

Funny how the world wants the U.S presidency to be a global election . Maybe
Obama will be chosen to lead the United Nations . Would that be goodness ?

 

Maybe, as you say, she was the most Republican of candidates, her most ardent supporters were right wing Republicans, and she was closest to Trump in her consistent support of Russian-Syrian policies. And the fact that you and Six-eyes seem to like her is the final nail in her coffin (not for Hillary but for me).

 

It slightly depends on how they got in the position that they need financial aid. It depends on which products they're farming and for what market it was intended. You also can't treat a soy bean farmer the exact same way as a pig farmer, and what counts for an intensive pig farmer in this regard (financial aid or qualifying for subsidy) may not count for an organic pig farmer.

 

Maybe the point went over your head because you dont live in the US and therefore dont have to deal with "tHaT'S cOmMuNiSm" said by uninformed people everytime the topic of universal healthcare comes up, idk

 

They're failing because they're not working hard enough. They need to work harder so they can buy better bootstraps with which to pull themselves up

 

"If". Such a little word; such a big hurdle. "If wishes were horses, all beggars would ride." Most economists don't think trade wars are a good idea (but I know, you say the minority are the right ones). Every time Trump gets back to raising tariffs, the stock market plunges, but you say that's just temporary. In the long run, it will work and benefit us. In the long run, we'll all be dead!

 

Am i misunderstanding something? Someone else perhaps?

Trump: W.Va. is mad at 'Joe Munchkin'

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON (WSAZ) -- Hours after Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) responded to a tweet from President Trump criticizing his two guilty votes in the impeachment trial, the President is tweeting again claiming Manchin did not understand the transcripts in the trial.

"They are really mad at Senator Joe Munchkin in West Virginia," Trump tweeted Sunday. "He couldn’t understand the Transcripts. Romney could, but didn’t want to!"

On Saturday, Manchin tweeted his own response saying, "I’ve read the transcripts thoroughly & listened to the witnesses under oath. Where I come from a person accused defends themselves with witnesses and evidence.""

 

AZ national monument, home to Native American burial sites, is being blown up for border wall

AZ national monument, home to Native American burial sites, is being blown up for border wall

excerpt:

"Customs and Border Protection said that the blasts are in preparation for "new border wall system construction, within the Roosevelt Reservation at Monument Mountain in the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector."

The explosions are occurring on Monument Hill, a burial site for the Tohono O'odham Nation, according to Grijalva.

The border wall cannot be constructed on the Native American reservation because it is private land. The nation's burial sites, however, which Grijalva said are "immediately adjacent" to the reservation, are on public land, making them fair game for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Customs and Border Protection."

 

Opinion: Trump’s election year gamble: Cutting entitlements for seniors

Trump’s election year gamble: Cutting entitlements for seniors

excerpt:

"President Trump is proposing cuts—in some cases big cuts—to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other parts of the social safety net. It’s part of his 2021 budget that the White House is unveiling today.

The plan, being rolled out in during what is expected to be a tight re-election bid for Trump, calls for $4.4 trillion in overall spending cuts over the next decade. Of that, according to the White House budget office, Medicare would be cut by some $850 billion over 10 years, Medicaid $270 billion and Social Security $30 billion. The proposed cuts would include $130 billion from changes to Medicare prescription-drug pricing, $292 billion from safety-net cuts—such as work requirements for Medicaid and food stamps—and $70 billion from tightening eligibility for federal disability benefits.

The proposals run counter to what the president said over the weekend, when he tweeted that the budget “will not be touching your Social Security or Medicare.” Trump’s budgets, notes the Washington Post, “have routinely sought big Medicaid changes that would cut roughly $800 billion from the program over 10 years.” Indeed, last year, Trump proposed slashing Medicare—a key federal health program for the elderly—by $845 billion over 10 years, from current law. Now, he’s trying again."

 

Trump's desecration of Native American burial sites by blowing them up for the sake of his vanity wall conjures up memories of the Taliban blowing up the Buddhist statues.

After 1,700 years, Buddhas fall to Taliban dynamite

 

AZ national monument, home to Native American burial sites, is being blown up for border wall

excerpts:

"Weeks before construction began, Grijalva — along with Tohono O'odham elders, chairman Ned Norris Jr, and archaeologists — toured the nation's sacred ceremonial sites, located within Organ Pipe. The group saw rock piles and burial sites with bone fragments dating back thousands of years. One burial site, known as Las Playas, contained artifacts that go back 10,000 years.

"What we saw on Monument Hill was opposing tribes who were respectfully laid to rest — that is the one being blasted with dynamite," Grijalva said."


"The REAL ID Act of 2005 gives the federal government broad power to waive other laws that stand in the way of national security. Under REAL ID, the Trump administration has waived dozens of laws — including the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Environmental Protection Act — in its bid to construct the border wall."

 

I am opposed to giving big agro subsidies.

 

Sanders overtakes Biden in national poll for first time

Sanders overtakes Biden in national poll for first time

excerpt:

"A new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday shows Bernie Sanders leading former Vice President Joe Biden nationally, giving the Vermont senator front-runner status in a national poll for the first time.

Released in the wake of the botched Iowa caucuses and a day before the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire, the poll shows Sanders overtaking Biden with 25 percent of the vote among Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic. Biden, meanwhile, garnered 17 percent."

 

Trump uses multiple circumvention tactics, from declaring a fake national emergency to bypass Congress (and his own Republican party that didn't want to squander money on his wall) to obtain U.S. taxpayer money to pay for the wall that Mexico was supposed to finance to issuing waivers to bypass laws so that he can use the land as he sees fit.

 

Oil--more oil please. And for gods sake--get those gimps and useless old people off the government dole!!
