another light - you're "hangingchad" you've posted about Reagan, W, Trump, Whigs, Dems, NAFTA, the Wall, Having better fences, Al Gore, Kasich (all having to do with how you dislike politics that isn't created by Republicans - you've been on this board for about 3 days and now you're taking stock of my posts?
Best you put a rein on that.
I will say this, I voted for Trump because I despised the RINO’s in the party who talk a big game but can’t govern. So I am not with the Bushes or the Bill Kristol’s or National Review war mongers. I voted for a stick of dynamite to blow up both parties. I got what I wanted.
it's just not something that can be justified.
Not trying to be mean spirited it's just a fact of politics.
For me, I couldn't believe he was running as a serious candidate, and the outcome is, he's not a serious POTUS. He's everything bad that can happen to this country. Out of 22 or more candidates (none worthy of being POTUS) with only one, Jeb as someone with the best credible background, candidate who should have been looked at - this country allowed him to be pushed out of the race early on by a blowhard with no experience in anything other than being born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
All the rhetoric from republicans about Obama being a community organizer and he'd be terrible for the country because he had no experience, you and the nation voted for the least experienced in governance in almost two centuries. Not only is Trump the least experienced, he easily the stupidest and uneducated ever and that's saying something considering W was the republicans choice before him.
1 He has appointed two conservatives to the Supreme Court possibly three soon. Big deal to stop liberals judges and politicians.
2. He cut corporate taxes to 21% for US companies to compete globally and as a result we are now in line with other countries who are America’s competitors.
3. He has made the US the largest oil and gas producer for the first time since the 70’s. Reduces our dependence on Middle East, cuts the trade deficits and makes US manufacturers more cost competitive than most countries in Europe and especially China.
4. First US president to take on China who has been stealing US technology for years and prevents US companies from competing for business in China. Did you know 95% of Chinese computers use Microsoft programs and sales for the technology to Microsoft are just 5%. Can you say stolen technology. Why didn’t Obama or Bush take on the Chinese.
5. We have spent trillions protecting the world, Germany, Japan, N Korea while they build their countries to compete unfairly with the US with high tariffs. The bill has come due with Trump.
Would you like me to go on? Get off Huffington and salon and buzzfeed and read what is going on around you.
2. and has escalated the debt by trillions - for all you fiscally responsible neo-cons (I can't wait to hear you guys tout that again as the reason to vote Republican,- it's something that has never been true - ever)
3. He had zero to do with oil and gas being produced in the US. All that takes years to accomplish.
4. Take on China, then back down. Something seems to be smelly there. (though I do agree China trade and currency issues needed to be dealt with) we will see what that's about but it doesn't look good.
5. I don't think you quite understand NATO and our role in it. It's for sure Trump doesn't.
Now lets get to Trump as an asset of Russia.
The point is, you haven't a leg to stand on.
Bush started two wars in Afghanistan and iraq. Obama got us into Libya and Syria. Costing lives and probably over $7 trillion. So imgaine we rebuilt American infrastructure with that money or cured cancer. We can always find money for wars but just try to get $5.7 billion for a wall that Obama, Clinton. Shumer and Pelosi voted for numerous times. Maybe the US should declare war on Mexico?
I have been in the oil business for 30 years don’t try to tell me. He restarted Keystone and Dakota pipelines. Took the regs off fracking and the reduction in corporate rates makes it cheaper to risk capital. Opened Anwar in Alaska. Remember Obama didn’t build anything he told us so on numerous occasions.
Afghanistan was a legit invasion going after the Taliban and AQ. Iraq was an invasion for profit underlined by misleading America and the Globe (Thanks Cheney). ISIS was a direct product of the invasion of Iraq.
I don't know the $'s for Libya and Syria but 7Trillion is not correct.
And yes, take those trillions and put it to Single Payer HC - it would be the envy of the globe.
Those pipelines are not oil producers, they're oil carriers from other places like Canada - The keystone PL is to carry Athabasca tar sands oil to refineries in TX. Regulations on Fracking didn't create more fuel, it was already being tapped. I don't know what Obama built as far as Oil production - I heard he was POTUS not an oil rigger or a wildcatter. What I do know, fossil fuel production went up under Obama. According to Bloomberg news, oil production in the Obama years thrived - 82%
You are clueless about oil don’t try to go there again your knowledge is limited. And I don’t remember Bush being President when Libya and Syria were attacked. Just ask Hillary, but her answer would likely be “What does it matter” Oh I also forgot, Obama did draw a line in a sand but did nothing when Assad gassed his people.
We have to deal with this stuff day to day through the media like FOX TV and Breitbart
Unnecessary at best.
Sure, I agree with you about the wars but if were choosing sides, I choose the side with facts and truth.
This is a simple but perfect example - Obama was called the "celebrity" yet both Reagan and Trump are celebrities R's voted for.
Another example - Trickle Down econ has never worked - Sounds like a great idea but in truth it's a horror story for a nations econ - Not saying Keynesian econ is brilliant, but no one has found a better model to follow (no, not Laffer either) Yet, it's promoted in many ways by R's as the real deal - give the wealthy the tax break and the world will hum along. It's just not true.
PS: I never said Obama as the greatest but he is smart, he did have the nation in mind and he had a vision and he wasn't W Bush killing the US econ.
It's late and I have a habit of going on. Good night. It was a pleasure. I hope you continue to post over here.

lot of "wins" that don't last very long when their "wins" are investigated.

because he's terrible at negotiating, paying bills and running businesses so he had to go to other countries, ie Russia to work with their corruption.
So, you'd put yourself in the long list of bad investors and the duped with nary a second thought. If you had money, Bernie Madoff would have found you.

On one side he's got Mitch McConnell giving him instructions ala Cheney to W and on the other, his ego, narcissism and Putin.
