Remember how Reagan Trump was going to blow us all up in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union North Korea, and that this time we most certainly were all gonna die. Neither do I. What I do recall is the first President in a generation not caving to the extortive demands of Dictator Weeble, while making it clear to the entire world that America would fight strength with strength, and that President Apology BowToHisBetters was no longer in charge.
I was not a Trump supporter and, to be frank, I’m still not wild about him because he isn’t consistently standing up for Conservative and Libertarian values. However, he fulfilled his promise to Ted Cruz and nominated a proper textualist to the Supreme Court. He signed a monumental tax law which, if corporations behave as I expect, should result in hundreds of billions of dollars being poured into the economy via capital spending and increased shareholder dividends. He is strong on Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East and a lifelong friend and ally of the United States. His recognition of Jerusalem, and Ambassador Nikki Haley’s courageous vote to support it in the UN, along with a $285 million cut in UN support, are big wins.
There have been no chemical weapons used in Syria since the U.S. cruise missile attack in April – demonstrating the weakness of Obama’s “red line” policy. ISIS has been dealt repeated setbacks. Trump got Saudi Arabia to back off its goods blockade to Yemen, which was dealing with a humanitarian crisis.
Americans have put their confidence behind the President in regards to the economy. The consumer confidence index, the manufacturing index, the industrial production index, construction spending, e-commerce retail sales, real manufacturing and trade industries sales, and countless other metrics are rising. This is all based on optimism. Very little policy has actually been implemented. GDP growth in a non-crisis or recovery economy is where it should be – GDP growth.
The biggest win, however, is repeatedly exposing fake news. The utterly disingenuous news media has been repeatedly disgraced. They aren’t even pretending anymore. Never in American history has the media been as transparently partisan, and they are paying for it.
Finally, normal Americans have someone who doesn’t look down on them. One can argue that Trump is unpredictable, inexperienced, has made countless errors, and the White House is a disaster – and all of those arguments hold water. However, there is no denying that Trump is what the average America needs – a fighter.
As for the Democrats, their world has certainly ended, but for the rest of America, we’re just getting started.
O’Donnell is an absolute maniac.
He went on a rant about General Kelly that was as mad as a Keith Olbermann screed.
.
I suspect he sees the apocalypse too. Frayed to his last nerve.
Hardly....they are as partisan as ever because they know there are no repercussions of any consequence.
After a year of winning like he has, too many Republicans are still afraid to openly support Trump. So how has that liberal Stockholm Syndrome worked out for ya?
I don’t know, a few weeks ago they over dramatized their whine that no matter what “information” (i.e., lies) they put out about Trump, his base STILL LIKES HIM. They were incredulous like, “WHAT do we have to SAY to get you to hate him like WE DO!?”
Well following Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on Dec. 21, 2017, which among other things freezes Clinton foundation assets and those of other elites.
We’ve got up to 10,000 sealed indictments ripening in federal courts all over the US (1000 such sealed indictments are normal for an average year).
We’ve heavy traffic and activity re GITMO (approx 600 soldiers heading there in Dec, some of which are national guard that have military police training) including “no-call sign” or “blocked” escorted flights incoming at 40,000 feet (just between FL peninsula to Cuba) when there are officially only 43 jihadis still imprisoned there.
We’ve got customs and airlines and entire airports all over the world reporting anomalies that simply shut down international travel for hours all over the country and world.
There’s high level creeps who abruptly stopped tweeting days ago or are now tweeting with the diction and thought processes of interns or assistants.
Then there are 8 countries around the world that are expected to go the Iran route re public uprising....and that’s just a sample so yeah...we got a few things to be thankful for re Trump.
Say, when was the last time you saw Hillary, Bill, or Obama “live” in some setting. Not counting things like Obama’s 3 year old family Christmas photo re-issued for 2017 or his interview with the BBC which was actually taped months ago. Just curious....
Sorry - I posted to the wrong thread!
It's nice that The Brown Clown hasn't shit his face in nearly a week.
Maybe Joe "Whoops, I Cr*pped My Mouf" Biden can grope a 10 year-old girl to liven things up...
p
I will have to volunteer for another tour down at GTMO. Might see a few old “friends” again.
Pakistan is having their aid cut, so I believe Dems will lose in 2018. Trump is going to give Americans more wins in 2018. I believe some NeverTrumpers will lose primaries and their replacements will win bigly.
wonder how long it took to take them down? also, note the seat belt sign, THAT is enforced, illegal aliens not so much
