Charlottesville was a "Unite The Right" rally, the right here being the "alt-right." What we do know about the LV shooter is he was a supporter of Trump's policies.
DAmn all those alphabet soup news media outlets that have been engaged in a never ending campaign of insult, innuendo and out right lies for more than two years now.
You must be young. I can remember when there was lead in paint and lead solder used in copper pipes. They were corroded over in Flints case so not a problem until they changed the water source and declined to put the additives in the new water to prevent the corrosion from being "rinsed" out.
So can I. It was outlawed fifty years ago. Flint should have been doing remediation on lead water pipes for at least that long.
The people he is promising don't realize that renewables generate more electricity in America now than coal. And is cleaner and more efficient as well.
So that's a good enough excuse for you to go after McCain? Thin skin is not a good thing for anyone who is in the public eye. And when they strike back, in low blow attempts, they lose respect and credibility. I would have thought that someone in the position of potus would take a higher road than 'They started it!'
I have been privately asked why I don't start a new thread about Trump. The answer is, because Trump isn't doing anything, and his ludicrous tweets have become ludicrously boring. No one pays any attention to them anymore. Why should I. Despite Iran's recent provocations, Trump has done nothing except issue some empty threats and his war hawks (Pompeo and Bolton) are mute. Despite threats from North Korea following his Chamberlainesque visit to North Korea, Trump has maintained his silence. He doesn't want to remind Americans of his betrayal of our national security for a photo op. For example, remember this moronic threat. "Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States." That was 20 days ago. It was not going to be "millions." It was going to be a couple thousand. ICE doesn't warn illegal immigrants of a coming raid. Trump told the whole world about it. Trump delayed the raid for two weeks. Three weeks later, the raid still hasn't happened -- probably because Trump let the cat out of the bag, making the raids useless -- and there is nothing to indicate the raids will ever happen. That said, ICE probably is keeping Trump out of the loop. They don't want him to warn the immigrants again. See what I mean? Nothing is happening. I would just as soon Trump kept it that way. He is a walking catastrophe.
Iran continues as a national security threat to the U.S. Pompeo tweets, and Trump tells Iran she "better be careful." Britain is our longest and most reliable ally. Today, Trump booted out the British ambassador. "I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S.," Trump wrote on Twitter. "We will no longer deal with him." While all this is going on, Trump gave a speech today ... on the environment and the fires in California last year. He strode into the room to the accompaniment of "Hail to the Chief." It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. It reminded me of a Peter Sellers movie. Oh, and the speech was filled with lies. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/08/fact-check-trumps-environmental-claims-1573352 Trump is a sick man. He lives in a world all his own. Nevertheless, I am quite certain his fans enjoyed the speech. They, too, are not fans of reality.
It is easy to see who Trump's friends are on the world's stage. And his enemies. Referring to the communist dictator of North Korea, “I was really being tough - and so was he. And we would go back and forth,” Trump told a rally in West Virginia. "And then we fell in love, okay? No, really - he wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters,” he said. At Helsinki Trump met another friend, his patron, the communist dictator of Russia. "I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said during a joint news conference. At the Group of 20 meeting in Osaka, Japan, Trump joked with his friend. He lifted a finger, pointed it at Putin while smirking and joked, “Don’t meddle in the election.” Speaking of the communist dictator of China, Trump tweeted, "President Xi and I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade." Speaking of the British ambassador to the U.S., "I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the US. We will no longer deal with him," Trump tweeted. Speaking ot the British prime minister, "I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit. What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!" Trump said. For over a hundred years, Britain has been our longest, most powerful, and most reliable ally. Putin to Trump, "You are doing a hell of a job, Donnie."
The medicine shipment was late, apparently. I don't really pay attention to them, they're kind of like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.
He said manufacturing wasn't coming back, sub-3% growth was the new normal, and kids today might not have it as good as their parents did. Not with his policies anyway.
The right starts to believe their own BS after a while. When leaving office Obama said 'Our Best Days Are Still Ahead'. Of course he had no way of knowing how bad Trump would be.
And here we are. Still 8 million manufacturing jobs down from the highs and sub 3% GDP. Not sure about the kids.
I think you other righties are getting a bit cocky. Just because the left has no message, doesn't secure a win for Trump. They don't need a message (they haven't had a message in a long time other than race), they just all need to hate the same thing. Don't get lazy, vote!
