    Well he certainly has triggered the anti-American crowd.

    The abomination you want to call America. You have already destroyed America. That's the part trumpers can't comprehend. This ISN'T America, This is something else that is very dark and evil.

    Neither did I. He was scrupulous about it, in fact.

    But the birther crowd never got past the color of his skin.

    Just watch the videos of people at Sarah Palin rallies.

    These are the same deplorable mob that yelled “send her back” in Greenville last week, to Trump’s almost palpable delight.

    Sometimes I have to view this as a war between the smart and the stupid. That often seems to be the bottom line.

    But they KNOW what he's doing. So it isn't stupidity, it is just evil. This is the same nightmare that brought Hitler into power.

    Limbaugh is an entertainer. Same as Hannity, Maddow, Mathews, O'Riely, Olberman ... They just use politics as their medium.

    There are shreds of truth in what they say and once in a while they even have some decent points. You can find much of the same points from many of today's comics.

    And now ... we have an entertainer as president. We can thank those i mentioned above for that.

    Ignored by someone who posts exclusively total nonsense extreme alt-right propaganda, not connected in any way to reality? Sign me up too please, he should be honored! I've rarely read posts so delusional, full of fear, alternative "facts" and downright fantastical lying as are your usual "droppings"..... :rolleyes:

    If this is your idea of successfully managing a nation, you’d be very comfortable in the third world.

    Trump is weak, corrupt and incompetent. What’s more, every world leader knows it.

    So does the world that has watched the ongoing carnival of stupid pointless bullying, denigration of allies, celebration of strong men, flagrant corruption and sheer decadence of this most disgraceful of Administrations.

    Trump flagrantly break both the letter and the spirit of the rule of law out in the open on a daily basis.

    He gives away his negotiating leverage in stupid casual tantrums designed to entertain his xenophobic and fearful base.

    There will be no trade deal with China, and the Chinese market for soybeans will go to Brazil, expanding China’s influence as a trading partner there.

    China has no incentive to make a deal with us at all. Trump gave away his prize piece of leverage on the first day of his administration.

    He would go on to do the same thing with Iran.

    He traded away the prestige of his office in return for a made for TV spectacle co starring Kim Jong Un. Kim walked away with everything he came with and the fair certainty that he would not have to worry about the Americans for a while, even if the sanctions fell apart.

    Now that Trump has isolated the US from the world by repudiating the Iran deal, the Iranians are doing the inevitable. Challenging the US and the world by trying to get the western alliance to break with the United States.

    They have every incentive to do so, as keeping a lid on the revival of the Iranian nuclear program is in everyone’s interests.

    I have no idea why Bolton and Trump are this stupid. Bolton took the same line towards North Korea under Bush, and watched the North Koreans build a bomb.

    He seems to be on the same trajectory with Iran.

    Trump, who can’t find either country on a map goes along because chest beating is their idea of greatness.

    Yes, that’s where Paddy Chayefsky got it wrong. Howard Beal wasn’t going to be a network anchorman. He was going to be President.

    Very likely. It will be a holistic failure not just one side or the other. It takes 2 to Tango. The failure of the American experiment will stand as an example that we cannot live in a civilized society that has diametrically opposed views.

    Do you want to know what would bring a Hitler or a Stalin to power here? Abolishing the electoral college. Now which party wants that again? Oh yes, I remember now, the party that wants to turn us into a commie shithole country.

    If you don't like that Trump is successfully dismantling all the things Obama screwed up, you're welcome to leave. Even Russians are laughing at the Dems now......they've 'been there, done that'.

    Yep . . . both Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung would be proud of the modern Dem Party political platform; which SHOULD tell leftists all they need to know about their current political path . . . but won't. That in turn is something that would also have made Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung . . . laugh . . . at . . . them.

    What would you expect after 100+ years of left wing progressive government?

    What would bring a Hitler or Stalin to power here is a weak and fear filled electorate which casually gives away its democracy to a con man peddling an Uber nationalist, and racist political trope. His path to power would be greased by a media more obsessed with ratings than with news, a political power structure more worried about their short term political interests than the institutions they serve, and their willingness to sit by and watch as the strong man whose skirts they hide behind usurp their power.

    Trump has done all of these things. And cults of personality and dictators are almost always brought to power on the backs of a screaming mob fueled by its own resentments and fears.

    Trump is setting all the precidents for the end of democracy in America.

    He may not be the instrument of that end, but his is most certainly the biggest enabler to date.

    It is de facto open borders.

    If you cross the border illegally, nothing bad happens to you.

    And if you support her proposal I now have 2 in 327,000,000 people.

    Hardly :roll:

    Now if you had gone with big business you might have been taken seriously! Heavy emphasis on the "might" and absolutely no guarantee on the "seriously"!
