There seems to be some confusion. China/Xi bad, US/Trump good. Glad I cleared the air. - PBHangingChad - 2:26pm 8/13/19 (91) [View All]
- What I find most interesting is the hatred for Trump prevents the condemnation of China. It’s just - PBHangingChad - 3:09pm 8/13/19
  - What I find most interesting is no one here has praised China and you go all nutty. - jimbasil - 3:54pm 8/13/19
    - So I assume you support Trump’s taking on China’s unfair trade policies? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 4:17pm 8/13/19

        Fine so how do you negotiate with China and change the dynamic unlike Bush and Obama? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 4:33pm 8/13/19
        And Reagan who started it all. - Frank L - 4:36pm 8/13/19
        The same group that turns a blind eye to China’s trade and domestic policies. Sure. - PBHangingChad - 4:48pm 8/13/19
        You are completely irrational on this subject. - Frank L - 4:52pm 8/13/19
        Kind of like no drama Obama while our jobs move overseas. Trump is hurting China. So there is that. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 4:56pm 8/13/19
        Obama had steady job growth his entire presidency. - LehighND - 5:02pm 8/13/19

        You said our jobs moved overseas under Obama. - LehighND - 5:07pm 8/13/19
        Did plants in the Midwest and Southeast close and move overseas? Those people that voted for Trump. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:12pm 8/13/19
        Unemployment was going down. - LehighND - 5:19pm 8/13/19
        There is a difference between making cars or electronics, and serving up big macs. - NedoftheHill - 7:21pm 8/13/19
        Making electronics was moving offshore since the 60’s when the Japs started making transistors. - Frank L - 7:36pm 8/13/19
        I'm an American. It is better for the world that America survive. - NedoftheHill - 9:39pm 8/13/19
        You are whatever it serves your purpose to be. Change the system huh? Like AOC and others want to - Frank L - 10:37pm 8/13/19
        Meh. They can't be wrong all the time, can they? - NedoftheHill - 11:30pm 8/13/19
        I’m simply pointing out the lack of consistency in your positions. - Frank L - 10:14am 8/14/19
        
        They did that starting with Reagan. Remember the Springsteen song from 84. - Frank L - 5:15pm 8/13/19
        Fine so let’s go back to him. Who spoke to those forgotten Americans that both parties ignored? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:18pm 8/13/19
        Because he was able to play on their resentment, that makes his policies sound ones? [NT] - LehighND - 5:22pm 8/13/19
        Did it work? Did Bush or Obama solve their problems? Tell the truth. What makes Trump different [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:24pm 8/13/19
        Unemployment went from 4.7% to 3.7%, so... - LehighND - 5:28pm 8/13/19
        Riddle me this caped crusader, what was unemployment when Barry took over? Who reduced it more? - Frank L - 5:30pm 8/13/19
        It was around 10%. Damn. I guess his China policy wasn't so bad. [NT] - LehighND - 5:31pm 8/13/19
        
        He’s nuts and a demagogue and they weren’t? [NT] - Frank L - 5:26pm 8/13/19
        And Obama wasn’t? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:28pm 8/13/19
        No he wasn’t, although he was many other not so good things. [NT] - Frank L - 5:29pm 8/13/19
        I’m sorry wasn’t he going to cure the planet, make the seas fall and give everyone better healthcare [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:31pm 8/13/19

        If you like your doctor, insurance, and healthcare you can keep it. Really want to go there? [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:26pm 8/13/19
        If I had been a fan of Barrycare I wouldn’t. Since I wasn’t, sure why not. - Frank L - 5:28pm 8/13/19
        So you support China's healthcare system? Can I get an f'ing patriot in this f'ing place or what!!? [NT] - LehighND - 5:33pm 8/13/19
        Way to go PA Boy. It’s about time. Some patriotism. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:36pm 8/13/19
        
        You keep proving the point. How’s about yer pals W and Vice? They do anything? [NT] - Frank L - 4:59pm 8/13/19
        I’ll repeat again they did nothing just like Obama. Right stay on China today. [NT] - PBHangingChad - 5:05pm 8/13/19

        Nope, it just doesn’t do much which is why I assume they want it. - Frank L - 5:13pm 8/13/19
