Doc Brown Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I'd still like to hear one thing legislatively Trump has done to make their lives worse. The only thing that comes to mind is stopping these CSR payments which will lead to higher premiums for the middle class who purchases a health plan through the ACA that make too much to receive subsidies.

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I swear this is the end result of every cultural trend "participation trophies" have come to represent.

We're going full circle in terms of the way we communicate. We started with cave paintings on the wall, moved to the written word and then to the artistry of language... now we're moving backwards, the selling point of the new iPhone are its emojis. We've gone from using language to express emotions back to crudely drawn symbols to convey our emotions because people's attention spans and understanding of written language are at a low point. Imagine the idiocy that's to come. It should be hilarious... or would be if there was anyone left who knew how to write it all down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have an opinion though and his postings and yours and a few others here are just devoid of any sense or substance. They are just drive-by senseless mutterings. These indictments have nothing to do with Russian collusion but are solely inspired by the left's desire to dig up any dirt possible. There is plenty on HRC.

Try this experiment. The FBI investigates you for a possible felony, and while the investigation shows that you did enough wrong to warrant an indictment, the FBI director declares an end of the investigation because your intentions were good.

Chances are more of Dotard's cronies (he has the best people) will be charged before HRC. I couldn't care less though if Podesta and Clinton go down if there is real evidence, they aren't the president. Also, Mueller doesn't represent the left and isn't inspired to dig up dirt for one party. You look like a bitter tard for even suggesting it.

And given the resistance Trump has faced from his own party, how can you be so sure even if Mueller was "representing" the Right, that he wouldn't have any ulterior motivation to attempt to bring Trump down? He's a Republican for starters. Was appointed by George Bush and has a solid reputation for being a strict and detailed attorney/investigator. He was highly regarded and praised by everyone when he took over the special counsel, even republicans publicly supported him and his resume. If people don't like some of the democrats he hired onto his team I get that. And I don't really know, no one does. Just like no one can honestly say they know he is inspired by the left. To your last point, if republicans are secretly plotting to bring trump down, I may have to start sending donations to the RNC. Do you know what political party Mueller's team of lawyers consists of? What does 26 have to do with this?So he should have hired all republican lawyers, right? Forget credentials and experience when you can just hire like-minded partisans. Stupid.

Last I checked the economy is doing fine and people are still showing up for work. The right bashed every move Obama made for eight years and the left dealt with it. Now, trump is deservedly getting criticized at every turn and it seems like the right can't handle it.
