Hey, Paul? How about going on Tucker Carlson tonight, and say that to his face.

[Grampa Dave]

The Ministry of Propaganda assisted by the GOP savaged anyone who dared to object with the greatest Alinsky tactic ever perpetrated. People, who know that he was never eligible were attacked and still are as “birthers”.

[Kaslin]

He’s way to much of a coward to face Tucker Carlson.

[Kaslin]

It’s very much patriotic, and we sure did win. Krugman needs to stuff a sock in his mouth.

[Kaslin]

very true and factual

[Vaden]

He IS on the left of most issues, but some of his economic ideas are sound. Note I said SOME. He rightly predicted the slowdown of the “Asian Tigers” after they topped out in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. They went into growth decline afterwards and have never been back to where they once were. South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong moderated after having the world’s fastest growing economies for years. He wrote an excellent article called The Myth of Asia’s Miracle in which he rightly predicted that the lack of Total Factor Productivity in these “miracle” economies would cause them to greatly slacken. He correctly stated that enormous labor force growth, favorable demographics, higher education, and increased machine investment would eventually run out of dividends. This same thing is now affecting China. China’s work force is slowing, aging, and demographics are not on it’s side. It WILL run out of steam, and probably before it can get rich in comparison to the West. His article was so strong that the governments of these countries took note and have worried about trying to do something about it ever since.

He’s right a lot and wrong a lot. Once you learn to sift through the chafe to get to the wheat, his biases become easier to ignore.

[Kaslin]

If the lame stream media had vetted him he would have never been elected. It’s a simple as that, but they weren’t interested in the truth.

Obama is illegitimate... by his own words.

[tumblindice]

“assisted by the GOP” In addition to doing nothing, `rat friends the GOP-e denigrated those of us who insisted Obama was ineligible because they wanted to keep the door open for their ineligible cucks. And Cruz. kek

[New Jersey Realist]

Hey Krugman, calling you a schmuck and a moron is an act of reason and careful thought.

[left that other site]

I am pretty sure that Mr. Trump’s parents were MARRIED.

To each other.

[Kaslin]

Please stop calling that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with an endearment like "Bammy"

[Lurkinanloomin]

The GOP had a stable full of ineligibles that they saw as the future of their party.

Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Haley and the one I think is really why they wanted the natural born citizen clause eliminated, George P. Bush.

[Kaslin]

He looks like a Weasel to me, which he is.

[ealgeone]

trust me....it’s not out of affection.

[Mears]

Aw,come on ——not necessary.

.

[Vaduz]

Patriotism is something liberals have no idea of what it is they only know hate and greed.

[JerseyDvl]

These children are all traitors and can throw their 8 year temper tantrum while we MAGA! Winning...it never gets old.

[DPMD]

Back to that again. Okay.

Picking your nose is patriotic.

Farting is patriotic.
