Geez, I thought the Schumer/Lev Parnas thing would be the silliest thing today................wrong

 

 

 

 

Imagine walking into your office and being confronted by a sheet cake. A free sheet cake. You’d be quaking in your boots and questioning your decisions, wouldn’t you? Well, wouldn’t you???

The only thing more fearful would be to see James Taylor sitting next to the cake.

Please list 5 things your president has done well as your president.  

 

Lets see ..

1. The Promise: "We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt. ... Well, I would say over a period of eight years. 
   The U.S. budget deficit is slated to soar above $1 trillion this year and could soar to $1.3 trillion per year for the next decade, according to a congressional report released on Tuesday
2. Daytime visits to golf clubs since inauguration, with evidence of playing golf on at least 113 visits. Cost to Taxpayer: About $124,000,000

3. Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it  LMAO on that one Failure

4. Auto Workers - We are going to bring back the automobile in the state of Michigan bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before.  Failure

I said 5 things done well.  A rational human could pick out 5.  You are a hack.

he hasn't done a good job? Bob, on what ***** planet do you reside? he has kept over 30 campaign promises. when is the last time any president has kept even 5 campaign promises?

 

Simple case example....I say I will crap on your rug, pee in your kitchen sink, and then spit at you.  Next time at your place (lol) I do all I said. 

 

Would you approve of what I had done?  Overly simplistic but I hope you see why one could disapprove of kept promises.

I'm diabetic and have no self control when it comes to sugar. I'd be terrified. Then I'd quickly get over the terror, realize that I can spare one of my two legs, take some frosting, and quickly pass the cake on to someone else, because I don't like sheet cake.

 

Edit: I don't like sheet cake, and I detest sprinkles.

What you fail to understand time after time is that the country voted for those promises that he has kept.

Asking to have an investigation announced is equal to having them commit to it.

Kind of like the Benghazi investigations and the search for 300 missing emails, 

 

A huge waste of time '

Benghazi resulted from the deaths of American citizens on the watch of a Presidential candidate, involving his Secty of State and heir apparent, and involved a made up tale of spontaneous demonstrations and Korans in toilets.  The lie was calculated to provide maximum cover and plausible deniability to the admin specifically to influence the vote, and would result in an investigation 100% of the time.

 

It was a #### up on a massive scale.  It did not lead to articles of impeachment.  Unlike the Russia hoax, the CIA was not weaponized, foreign intelligence was not created out of thin air, the FISA court was not flim-flammed, and the media was not used to bludgeon the candidate with mindless allegations of treason. 

 

Other than that, yeah, sure.

Fair question.  No, I don't find it odd.  I think many politicians enjoy the status quo, enjoy the prestige if being in power, operate in their own self-interest first and in the interests of their constituents when the heavy lifting is kept to a minimum. I also think President Trump works best in an environment akin to Thunderdome, and on top of that, he certainly can be a first rate douche to boot. 

 

Willard Romney began to lose my respect when he revealed himself to be weak and unprepared against the Obama/Dem/media assault team.  He was unable to deliver the conservative (even middle of the road moderate message points) against an admin that badly managed a crisis where an ambassador and other Americans were left to die, then created a fictional narrative that was designed to influence the outcome of the election.  (I never blamed Obama for screwing up Benghazi and losing people--that happens--but the cover-up and lie thereafter were unforgivable and makes this little Ukraine issue look like a day at Chuckie Cheese.)   Romney was weak, allowed allowed himself to be cuckholded and four more years of Barry from the Block followed. 

 

Move forward to the Trump years.  Willard tries to jockey for secretary of state, in spite of his harsh words about Trump, and fails to get the job.  Politics make strange bedfellows, but this is where I lose all respect for him.

 

Now, as the dems are in the 4th year of an attempt to unseat the president I voted for, having watched Mueller fail, having watched Kavanaugh be humiliated in front of his wife and children (and geesh, while I admire Kobe's commitment to his family and his children and recognize the horrible tragedy that befell them, good old Brett was #girldad all along the way and those honoring Kobe lined up to stab Kavanaugh in the stomach with a pencil in an effort to end him slowly and painfully on CSPAN),  I see dopey old Mitch as weak yet again as he wrings his hands over witnesses. 

 

Here's my statement Bobby Flay:

 

Adam Schiff and the house Democrats are attempting to have Trump removed from office.  Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and the rest of those in control of the house used political majority in the house to frame a story in the manner they wanted it presented.  There was no call for harmony, they did not consider the feelings of the Rs, defer to their requests for a "fair hearing", nor attempt to meet somewhere in the middle so we could all get to the truth. Schiff in particular made statements to the public that were false and misleading along the way, and in that regard, did so for maximum political effect. 

 

True or False? 

 

Assuming you are willing to at least recognize the TRUTH that old LS has laid out, back to Romney.

 

From the eyes of a conservative with liberal leanings on social issues: 

 

Enough capitulation.  Enough hand wringing. We're in a death match over our political process, and we need strong, steady hands on the wheel. One of the leading contenders on the dem side is an avowed socialist phony who wants the ability for great personal wealth and power for himself while tearing down and blowing up opportunities for the middle class. Another seeks to buy her way into the White House with promises to enrich people who chose a course of action in college at the expense of those who didnt. A third is Joe Biden, a guy on tape bragging about strongarming Ukraine to get what he wanted to protect his son. 

 

I would love to see a guy like Romney sack up and try and win something for a change instead of wandering around like a grinning dimwitted bobblehead when so much is at stake. 

 

Willard Romney is a rat. 

 

 

And now there's this outrage to add to his crappy record, eh?

You would not have to ask.  They would take 60% and then tell you how & when to eat what is left.

Why would you assume I fail to recall who won the election?  That fact has nothing to do with the question I was replying to.  BTW, I wasn't talking to you either.

 

BTW too, you still haven't answered my very simple question.  Why?  Here it is:

Simple question:  If Trump acted exactly as accused and for the exact motivations proposed by the House Dems, are those actions OK with you and is it OK for all politicians now going forward?

 

Listen, we have standards here and you are not measuring up.  Either do better or get lost, k?

Are you agreeing with my point?  Seems so but no precedent for that. 

 

The point being, it depends if you like the promised action as to whether you are happy that the promise is kept.

If you only knew how these places operated.  I've been there. Have you?    By law I can not go into details. 

 

Yes, Americans died.  Was it the System or just Hillary all by here lonesome?

Can you break down for us how he has managed to F up the economy to the extent you believe he has?

 

Be specific, please, as economics is not my strong suit.
