What do y'all think of Trump?

[Wildfowler]

And so what in the world do the liberals think that Russia did to “interfere” with the election in the first place?

The only answer I have ever uncovered is that Russia took out some $100,000 worth of political advertising on Facebook.

Oh my God the earth as we know it has come to an end, the Russians put a few advertisements on Facebook.

Sheeze

When it’s all said and done, we’re going to learn that the only collusion and interference in the election was by the Democrats. And I will gladly eat crow if anyone can ever prove me wrong. But you won’t.

I think he has done a hell of a job considering all the obstacles that he has to endure. It's awesome that he will have the opportunity to select a second Supreme Court Justice. Liberals are bad mad.

Mad doesn't begin to cover it.

I hope I find one of these in circulation!!

Let's see now, claims he's a man of the people like any used car salesman would, signs a bill giving the top 10% a $1.5 trillion dollar tax break over a decade just like a 1% greedy POS would do. Surprise! He was just kidding on that "fair taxation" BS.

Meanwhile he appoints a creationist to defund the education system and funnel the money to schools that among other things teach kids the earth is 6,000 years old in science class, just like any smart used car salesman who has an iron grip on evangelicals and other fake christians would do.

Then he deregulates the banking industry so they can gamble with your money again which of course caused the last financial collapse and almost drug us down into another great depression. If YOU hadn't coughed up the billions of dollars to save them and give them big fat bonuses, you would be in a bread line right now. Yeah let's try that again.

Then appoints Scott Pruitt to head up the organization built to protect the environment by tossing science out the window, claiming global warming is not anthropogenic and deregulating the pollution that goes into our rivers and streams among other things.
Oh and don't forget defunding climate study at NASA, we don't need that department, they are the best in the world, we only need Pruitt to tell us what's up with things like, oh, I dont know methane emissions, the ozone, you know, stuff that bought and sold POS has no problem explaining to us.

Then he opens up our national parks for exploitation by mineral and timber interests while offering the American people who actually own those properties not a red cent while billionaires buy new yachts with the money.

Of course we all know that America was just too pious, just too self righteous, just too snowflakish and sensitive, it was time for a president who doesn't give a flying flock about morals and ethics if they get in his way, and is will to do things like his border fiasco while Evangelicals praise him for his leadership. If he did one thing right so far it was demonstrate just what a bunch of hypocrites the christian america actually is and proved that listening to them on moral and ethical issues is like looking for fresh air by sniffing a hogs butt.

Yall got rid of the politicians (yeah right) and installed one of the greediest pieces of shot on the planet in their place. Congrats, nice job, hope that works out for us all in the food lines.

Everybody knows what a pure shot DT is, we have all known it for a long time, but some of us foolishly thought that this gold plated butthead had a change of heart, and that they are his family instead of his prey.

How about yall start screaming repeal Citizens United at the top of your lungs?
How about abolish Gerrymandering and Lobbying contributions to campaigns?
How about demanding all personal money is taken out of politics? Because the corporations that OWN YOU will always have more of it than YOU do, politicians work for who pays them, any questions?
Campaign reform, reinstatement of the fairness doctrine with real teeth in it, oh just a few things we could demand instead of hiring one of the greediest 1% on the planet and pretending that he is actually looking out for your best interest.

[novacaine]

Soooooooo...............What do you think?

[stang67]

If you aren’t seeing benefits from the tax reform in your area TODAY, you aren’t living in the right place.

Pretty sure I got a tax break. Does that mean I am in the top 10%?

[YoBenny]

No, it means you got some crumbs and think you were treated fairly. Now just wait for other corporate interests like ATT, gasoline and medical insurers to hike their prices and suck up that little tax break in this game of "squishy economics" they play with joe public.
It's just more trickle down economics which do not do a thing to help the average Americans while they enrich the ultra wealthy. Same old game different century.

[stang67]

A man as smart as you shouldn’t have any issue starting up his own telecom, refining, or insurance business to make all the money he’d ever need.

It’s the rest of us poor dummies that have a right to gripe.

[YoBenny]

I am a minimalist and believe that materialism especially that practiced by those worth over $5 million is one of the most deadly diseases that there is for democratic capitalism. Even if I was that smart, which I aint, I wouldn't go there, it's bad for everybody except them and truth be told it is no good for them either.
Contrary to what every materialist in the world believes, there actually is such a thing as enough money, and it's way way way less than they would ever admit.

[YoBenny]

Pruitt OUT!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wildfowler]

I agree 100% with you about gerrymandering and lobbying. I’d love to see both of those concepts eliminated forever.

My wife and I are just wage earners and we saw a nice increase to our take-home pay as a result the tax cuts, not to mention my getting a sizable raise on top of that. If it’s just crumbs, then why not make it permanent?

I was also able to add my wife on to my health insurance plan for he first time and reduced our deductible from crazy not-affordable high deductible to maximum 3500 out of pocket for a cost of about $250 less per month.

This has been a big boost in our household finances.

[YoBenny]

It's not permanent that is exactly the point. It's better than it was, yes, but it is not a fair shake with the 1.5 trillion given to the big boys and as long as over 50% of congress and the senate are millionaires, you are right, it's about all you are going to get. But that's not enough, not even close to enough as our infrastructure crumbles and a lot of other serious problems. 4% of corporate companies did things to make life better for their employees. The rest just walked with the profits, even buying back their own shares to increase their own profits. It's not enough.
If you dont want it to be crumbs and riches, then it's not enough.
Citizens united was the worst thing to happen to this countries politics in 100 years, and it is the worst CS decision in history. It has to go. Tax payers have to pay for elections, period.
And while we are at it, no more electoral college.
Whoever gets the most votes wins - period.
The EC being able to cast votes for whoever, regardless of what their constits voted for is absolutely idiotic from a voters standpoint and should not be tolerated.

F- that. Hillary might be president now if counting only popular votes.

Has there been a time where the electoral college didn’t vote the way they should have based on local popular vote? I’m more worried about voter fraud and illegals being able to vote than I’m worried about an elector flipping his vote.

Frankly if you throw out the illegal and fraudulent vote, trump would have won in a landslide.

Luckily CA and NY only get so many electoral college votes regardless of how many liberal voters they can pack in those hell holes.
