    I saw CNN said Obama had a 60% approval rating in his last week, when I checked to see the methodology I noticed they only polled Anderson Cooper and Candi Crowley... :)

    Trump never won. We still have 8 million who were deprived their right to vote because of voter suppression.

    I would like much freer trade than what Trump proposes. You can't say "Freedom, baby!" out of one side of your mouth and beg for protectionism out the other. At least not while being ideologically consistent.

    Yeah! Freedom to rip off the consumer once again! Hallelujah! People need to know most if not all of these regulations were put into place because of unscrupulous businessmen who had business practices that ripped off the consumer or unfair business practices.

    If people were honest in business and environmentally clean, there would be no need for many of these regulatory agencies in the first place.

    President Trump will have to cut them before we can find out what is in them.

    Trump is referring to the over 2,640 regulations that President Obama shoved up the asses of Main Street, industry and the America people that prevented a full recovery of the economy and a phony economy that we have experienced for the past eight years.

    Is he? Because he did not say that.

    Will I?

    That is amazing that you can say what I will think despite not having any indication, evidence, theory, nor even knowing the first thing about me.

    he is removing the regulations that the science people say cause global warming, that is what he means when he says remove 75 percent of regulations.

    it will feel like he is removing 75 percent of the regulations because the poorer half of the country don't have jobs in technology making i fones for the rich, or wall street making dreams for the rich.

    the high wage jobs generally come from silicon valley, wall street, and the oil industry, and crony capitalism ate its own after george W bush's wars for oil in iraq. with the removal of regulations on the oil industry, crony capitalism will flourish and create high wage jobs for both the poorer half and the richer half of the country under the guise of free market capitalism, which is the lesser evil compared to now.

    Did he need to ?

    Who's regulations do you think Trump is going to repeal ?

    Why is President Obama the first President never to see a 3% GDP in any quarter for eight years ? Because Obama and those he surrounded himself with are clueless about running a business, economics, middle America and running a government and issued so many regulations that prevented America's economy to recover and remained stagnant for eight years.

    For eight years Obama was a puppet of the foreign oligarchies.

    Source? There's a possibility that many illegals voted if you want to play that game. Nobody got shut out from voting that was legitimate.Just another butthurt rant.

    Elections have consequences! :grin:

    There is no possibility that many illegals voted, because there is no evidence of such a thing. As to my sources, I've proven my point dozens of times on this forum. You can thumb back through my history to get that information.

    Sure, the no problem. The expanded regulatory power of the EPA & Army Corps of Engineers under the “Waters of the United States” rule.

    I'm sure whatever "source" you claim is rock-solid. :roll: Voting is so simple, even a democrat can do it. All you need is a pen and be in walking distance of a mail box. No postage required. Lamest excuse I've ever heard. I haven't been to a polling place in years, and vote in every major election.

    Without any evidence? Trump could run into a burning building and save 5 white guys and you would find fault. Did Trump even do one small thing you approved of ? Why did you vote for trump?

    What does the race of the people matter? Are white lives worth more or something?
