I’ve seen it in a couple of places, but this is the only one I remembered where to look. Warning: if you’re an “always Trumpster” you will probably be offended because he doesn’t drool at the mention of Trump’s name (although he does not write in an insulting fashion, unless you have paper thin skin).
I remember hearing this "worship" charge against staunch Reagan supporters back in the 80's. Made me laugh back then, too.
It is my understanding the only immigration concessions were a relatively small increase in the number of Mexican National Guardsmen to be deployed. I don’t know how many Mexican National Guardsmen there are, but one thing I read said there aren’t very many to begin with. Also, as I understand it the negotiation was separate from the reworked NAFTA. On that point you may be correct, but what I have read indicates they are not the same negotiations.
What you wrote is undeniably true. I’m not sure what makes you think Trump is a racist, but you are entitled to your opinion.
Yes, Harry, you are willingly being manipulated if you know what is being told to you is a lie and you don’t care. You should care that you are being lied to and cynically being manipulated by Trump to gain your support. If you support the man no matter what he says or does you (and people who feel the same way) are paving the way for a “strong man on a white horse” to swoop in and take away your liberty. You should insist on being told the truth, insist that you be told the truth or you will not support the action, no matter how badly you want it.
Yes, it’s a common occurrence. Both Clinton’s enjoyed plenty of worship. I wonder if that made you laugh!
Trump's form of communication seems to be via the lie. I haven't seen a president lie this often since Bill Clinton. I always said Bill Clinton is a pathological liar, a person who lies to see if he can get away with it, and if he does get away with it he tells a bigger lie the next time. I can't decide if Trump telling lies is pathological or habitual. I lean toward habitual, a person that has lied so often it just becomes second nature to him. What's even worse in Trump's case is he appears to actually believe his lies, even though he knows he's telling a lie. It's like he thinks if he says something is so, then it's so because he said it is so. It would be comically entertaining if it weren't so potentially hazardous. It is concerning, though, because he knows he's lying to you, you know he's lying to you, and you don't care, you are certain you can interpret what he really means, you understand and approve that what he's saying isn't really true. It's a hell of a way to run a government!
Two things:
Yes, it seems to me we are in an echo chamber, both of us trying to find new ways to say the same thing we've said a hundred times. It may seem to you that I'm in a loop because I am having to respond to three or four people at a time, having to re-explain what I just said. To be honest it gets really old!
I remember the first time I said I don't vote you said you'd never respond to me again! That must have been a year and a half or two years ago.
Households would have lost between $150 and $700 per year on average. Perhaps that seems like a small price to pay. For some households it’s the difference between getting braces for their kid’s teeth or not. Maybe you could pony up enough for 100 or so households. Otherwise they will feel pain.
This is a fascinating post. Off point of the thread, but, hell, that went off the rails a long time ago. I wonder how many of those appointees would be considered NeoCons. At any rate they are definitely establishment types, wouldn’t you agree? Perhaps they represent his true agenda while he suckers his base pretending to be antiestablishment. Why would an antiestablishment guy hire his purported enemy? Is it possible they’re not his enemy after all? Just something to ponder. OK, you “always Trumpsters” let ‘er rip!Trump consistently hires people who opposed him in 2015 - 2016 during the GOP primaries — which has helped wreck his agenda.
He did it yet again today (see below), and he’s done it repeatedly throughout his term.
People who were supporting Trump during the 2016 GOP primaries (when FOX News was trying to take him down and GOP talking heads were ridiculing his platform) actually wanted and expected Trump to achieve what he ran on — and those weren’t Paul Ryan’s tax cuts and a new foreign embassy.
We never believed Trump would turn into an All-Tweets, No Action President. I’ve enjoyed his Twitter as much as anyone, but we are long past celebrating those sugar-high Tweets when the border crossing numbers are catostrophically bad.
Trump has lost significant support from his 2016 online base because of all this — unlike Boomers who never held their leaders accountable on immigration.
Today:
Arguably the worst Trump hire ever below, for a critical position — we are facing the consequences right now.
Note the article date:
Lastly: he kept rewarding the Swamp by signing those spending bills with no wall funding:
On the surface, it looks like you are practicing the half truths you're so critical of. So you're just a liar? Which is it 150 or 700? I missed it when the tariff man came door to door forcibly taking his due.
Like I said earlier, you read the link and missed the point. The point was if Trump’s Mexican tariffs had been put into effect at 5% it would have cost each household roughly $150/year, while if it had raised to 25%, as Trump insisted would happen the average yearly cost per household would have approached $700. (I’m too lazy to go back to the link and get the exact figures.).
Im aware of all possible "points" you may be attempting to make.
Trump is in Dan's head.Dan needs to smoke some wicked sticky and drink shots of Devils Cut.
That'll get him on the straight and narrow.
Do presto chango in that noggin.
Dan's in a rut.
