Foxx Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) 53 minutes ago, Bob in Mich said: Think of the president as the ship's captain in sort of a race against other nations. Previous presidents wanted to win but they wanted all of us to win - Americans and her traditional allies. Perhaps it was political skill, but the majority of the people felt we were in it together. Not today. Trump constantly demonizes and divides. He needs to blame someone else when he fails be it Mexicans, or Puerto Ricans, or other foreigners, or Muslims. As an example, look at his fight on the opioid crisis. What has he accomplished aside from shifting the perceived blame to immigrants? Trump wants to win the race too. He wants to win even if it means we have to cast off a good number of our people and their wishes into life boats so that the remaining can go faster. If a group or a cause slows our ship (economy), it needs to be cast aside. Examples are the Paris climate change agreement, CPB destruction, Great Lakes funding, coal love seemingly over environmental concerns, National Park land opening to business, health care cuts (ACA), proposed social security cuts, proposed medicare cuts, proposed medicaid cuts, Saudi love because of weapons contracts, immigration/asylum fiasco, tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy, etc Please watch the PBS video. It may better explain the concern many of us have with the relationship and this is essentially the basis of SJW nonsense. when you don't deal with the underlying problem of matters, they fester and find a way to exacerbate themselves, which is where we find ourselves today. the abscesses need to be lanced and the infection aired out in order to be healed. Trump is calling out the foundation of many of the problems and those who don't want to hear the truths are the ones in need of a rattle to give them comfort.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Judge denies request for speedy release of Mueller report A federal judge on Tuesday denied a request from a First Amendment advocacy group to quickly get special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and underlying materials via the Freedom of Information Act. U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton said in his ruling from the bench that he understands the public clamor to see Mueller’s findings on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. But, he said, the lawsuit filed by the Electronic Privacy and Information Center didn’t meet the threshold required for him to make such an extraordinary emergency move. </snip> 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shove the lance and your rattle right up your ass. I don't know why I thought you might have a reasonable response. I was obviously wrong. Jim had asked why many Americans think that Trump does not care about them. I made an attempt at an explanation. How does your response add anything to that discussion?

And as you've proven in your analysis, you do not understand (nor care to) what's at the root of what you see. You pushed Trump/Russia for over a year without evidence to support it, other than you "knowing what you see". But on this you've got it nailed, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that Trump blames others when HE fails. I think he's blaming others when WE as a country fail or more to the point have challenges succeeding. Please point out a Trump failure that he has blamed on: A. Mexicans B. Puerto Ricans C. Muslims D. Other foreigners 2. Explain who Trump has "cast off in life boats"? What does that even mean? All those examples you site were done to help the country and improve the economy not hurt people. Were people hurt by some of those? Likely but these are being done or considered, in my opinion and I'm assuming Trump's, for the greater good of the country. It's how business works and we need to look at this country more as a business. The old addition by subtraction. Cut costs and streamline. It's how you succeed. The US has a P&L statement just like any company but it's the most ugly P&L statement ever created in the history of P&L's statements. Yes, yes I know the US is not a for profit company but damn unless we cut costs we are so screwed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
