    So true. I'm don't think anyone can objectively state that trump has any kind of grasp on reality.

    Unless you have some kind of citation stop with the bullsh!t. From my pov it seems there's a glut of good paying, professional jobs.

    Are you out of your mind? Bureaucracy getting out of the way would mean that there would be fewer rules and regulations over time not thousands of times more than there were forty years. The proposition that bureaucracy has gotten out of the way over the last forty years is so laughably absurd as to constitute a statement of delusion. And that's just at the federal level by the way states, cities and sometimes even counties are busily writing rules and regulations. It is therefore all but certain that the actual regulatory burden is all but immeasurable. There is a young woman at our church who manages a child care service that functions out of our church. She has less than 20 people working for her. About 80% of her time is spent filling out compliance paperwork for various levels of government.

    And please note this is apparently a common malady among presidents, Obama constantly talked about how he created Jobs. So did several others in my life since puberty well over fifty years ago.

    We are 20 trillion dollars in debt. We have deficits over 1/2 trillion. We have an education system that is a national embarrassment. When we spend more per student than every other nation. Our inner cities are on fire. Gang violence, a heroin epidemic, murder rates approaching f'n Afghanistan's, a single parent statistic that is off the charts deplorable. Poverty, crime, homelessness. We abort 1 million children a year, I don';t care where you stand on the issue, that's a f'n abhorrent statistic, there is birth control, there is contraception. We are at each other's throats at the tiniest of insults, this country as divided as its' ever been save for our civil war. Our culture today so caustic, the do unto others rule as devolved into do it to others before they do you in. We've got atrocious illiteracy rates, a cyclical underclass, many of our institutions broken.

    Donald Trump has been President for two f'n weeks. Case anyone ain't noticed, wholesale slaughter going on in Syria and then Iraq as first Assad and then a mini-caliphate creating Islamic State tore its' way through the Levant. Russia pushing civil strife in Ukraine, North Korea about as unstable as it's ever been, this crisis with China the Obama Administration was having.....what in the world.

    We really blew it? Why don't you take a look around the room first. Massive debt. A health insurance debacle where they not only couldn't even build the website, you couldn't keep your doctor or current plan.....and you didn't save 2500 per family and it did add to the national debt. This economy is flat out stagnant. Our foreign policy is a mess. Our culture deeply divided and might I remind you, the only entity we all hate more than the opposing party...is the media.

    Again......Donald Trump has been President for two weeks....and we've blown it.

    Donald Trump won the Presidency because YOU blew it. Because YOU endeavored upon insanity. And we make no mistake......we won't live this down. The debt and economic realities too stark. We're going to have to increase ages of eligibility for medicare and ss, we're going to have to tax benefits, it's not going to be pretty.......and you want to shame someone?

    www.usdebtclock.org

    Again.....homework before comment is always the better path.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Because you're spending more than we send, that creates interest, you've also bloated the federal government creating pension demands, you are sitting down...and handing over the keys. Now.

    You know that if trump does get manufacturing back, if it is only 1/3 of it, he will look like superman, right? You better pray he is not successful in employing people who lost their lives to slave labor globalization. By encouraging those corporations to come back where they belong. As a part of America instead of businesses with no allegiance to any nation.

    There is just something good about businesses who have an allegiance to the nation who made them rich and successful. It looks right, if you know what I mean. I wish the modern liberals just didn't hate this so badly. It makes them look like they hate working people, who they must see as dirty unworthy rabble.

    Well allow me to help you in return.

    Thanks for giving me the definition for glut, but that's not the problem.

    The problem is I already said there were fewer good paying jobs. That's what this means "<"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-than_sign

    I hope that helped.

    I'm not drinking, which probably explains why you're confused.

    I suspect you think there are too many professional jobs available because you probably have one of those huh? I"m sure that contributes to your "POV".

    Also, it's a fact that the number of good jobs < glut.

    Well then WTF does this mean? "Wait a second, are you agreeing there's a glut of good paying jobs? Because if you are, you're frickin agreeing with me "

    Because it seems to me I was actually disagreeing with you. Maybe you should grab a cold one.

    Prettier was the entire point, Senator, attention, look at me, I'm wearing a vagina, look at me, it's about me me me.

    Trump hats worn by those who truly want to make America great again.

    What was that again about grasp on reality that I responded to......you come to a protest....with a vagina on your head....claiming Trump has no grasp on reality?

    Uhhh.......yeah.

    If you don't get that Obama's job creation was mostly part time jobs you might want to grab fewer cold ones.

    The confusion was that I didn't think anyone in their right mind could claim we have a cornucopia of amazing jobs that were created under Obama.

    That's just a complete disregard for reality.

    Dude I just got finished telling you that from my pov there's a glut of GOOD PAYING JOBS. That's exactly the opposite of mostly "part time jobs". Do you want to provide some supporting evidence that most of the jobs are part time work because I can provide 100 of thousands of open professional jobs right now.

    You must think part-time managers at McDonalds are good paying jobs then.

    Sure show us these amazing jobs created under Obama.

    Has Trump ever told the truth while citing numbers . . . literally ever? I'm having a problem recalling any time when his lies weren't at lest off by an order of magnitude.

    Yes I'm really confused. The donald is a poor debater with mostly democrat leaning tendencies. He can't speak in full sentences. The nation is dumber for having to listen to him through the election campaign. He tweets nonsense continuously. His stance on trade is decidedly NOT conservative. He seems to value popularity far and away above the most prudent course of action for working, middle class Americans. He did a WWE segment. I mean, I sh!t you not, WWE!!! I view trump as a ****** embarrassment, a rotting stain on our country.
