You know leftists like Alinsky wrote things kind of on the order of Mein Kampf in that they are very clear about what they want to do. One of Obama's very few highlights on his resume, "Community Organizer" is verbatim Alinsky. This isn't black helicopter shit. This is who Obama and Hillary are-- they are very open. Aaaand...... after their "revolution" we became communists Comrade? I forgot to cede my center of production to the State how 'bout you? ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/rofl.gif) That's what climate change is for, silly.

*yawns* another "survey" that confirms the liberal bias and helps democrats feel better about themselves.
I'll leave you to it.

I do remember Ronald Reagan. And I do not now and never did have a lot of respect for the Reagan presidency. It was he and his administration that put us on the debt course that will ultimately destroy us as a country, and that fact alone is enough to disqualify him from any list of good presidents. The best thing about him was that he looked and sounded presidential, and that he made people feel good. The thing for Donald Trump fans to remember is this: 'Mr. President, you are no Ronald Reagan.' Donald Trump has none of Reagan's positives, while his negatives far outweigh not only Reagan's but also any other president in our lifetimes. Trump is easily the worst president (already) in generations, and is on track to be the worst ever. The man is spectacularly unsuited to the job in virtually every area. Intellect, maturity, wisdom, compassion, ethics, rationality. He fails in all of those, and more. Incorrect. FDR's "New Deal", and LBJ's "Great Society" programs put us on the course towards insolvency and economic collapse. incorrect. Debt/GDP was at 100% under FDR. during the following (30) years it fell to 50% of GDP. it has risen under every presidency since then except Clinton and now it is BACK to 100%,. your road to ruin BEGAN with Reagan, it did not end there. and it is going to get WORSE under Trump. mark my words.

I think before he is out we will have war and the whole of our economy crashed.
Remember bush inherited a vibrant economy and in short order took it down and almost the country. I think trump will take it all.
You better stock up on everything, if he starts something with china we are in deep sh*** as we produce little or nothing here.

You better stock up on everything, if he starts something with china we are in deep sh*** as we produce little or nothing here. Ugh...the lack of any sort of a sensible informed worldview is disheartening at times. Not shocking. Just disappointing. Trump has plans for the NorKs and China isn't going to do shit. China needs trade leverage- and their only card to play right now is North Korea's behavior. If China doesn't get their little brat squared away, Trump will take that card out of play: theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/08/trump-on-north-korea-i-have-some-pretty-severe-things-were-thinking-about/READ: theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/06/president-trump-prepares-economic-team-for-upcoming-challenge-generational-trade-geography/THEN READ: theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/06/president-trump-presents-u-s-lng-export-as-leverage-for-baltic-dependence-on-russian-energy/I'm going to repeat something you Trump opponents need to understand. You do not have to like Trump. You do not have to agree with Trump. But if you don't get this singular point, you will fail to understand anything that's happening: Donald J. Trump may be the toughest, the smartest, and the most effective executive ever. He is smarter than any Democrat, he is smarter than the entrenched bureaucracy, he is certainly smarter than the GOP establishment, and he's smarter than the deep state operators in the intel community. Nothing he does is "irrational". Nothing is by "accident". Nothing he does is a sign of any sort of mental instability. He is playing 4D chess. He's operating on a level so far ahead of where everyone else is, it's hard to grasp it- even for those of us who know. Trump does not bluff. What Trump says he will do, he will do. What Trump says you will do- you will do. This is the lesson DC politicians are learning. The Trump agenda will be accomplished. He's not there to "try hard". He's there to win. He means to DESTROY his opponents-- and he will. Just ask 16 of the best and brightest in the GOP. Ask James Comey. And read, read, read-- seek to understand what you're seeing. Don't apply your worldview, and don't try to fit Trump into old models. theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/05/trump-doesnt-bluff-observers-writ-large-continue-to-find-emphasis-on-the-wrong-syllable/#more-135355Trump shifted to an "Annihilation Strategy" against ISIS- and ISIS is effectively destroyed in Iraq: theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/08/dr-sebastian-gorka-discusses-the-liberation-of-mosul-and-the-elimination-of-isis-in-iraq/Trump beat the G20 on the climate bs. G20 concedes on climate treaty and trade provisions: theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/07/08/president-trump-wins-g20-concedes-on-climate-treaty-and-trade-provisions/The old "rules of engagement" set by the political establishment have been swept aside. It's victory for We The People. It's America First. Period. You can't put what you're seeing in any sort of conventional political context. Trump isn't hoping and praying. He's not there to try. He means to win, and his opponents have two options: concede, or be destroyed.

man, when all of these foreigners vote for US president, it's going to be a huge problem... oh wait, they don't get a say. I think many of their leaders are milqtoast tire fires, but that's really their business.
this was posted somewhere else to be funny, but there is some legit truth to it. many of us voted for Trump to be President of the United States and to do what we consider best for our country FIRST, not best for the global agenda first, and if there's time left over, worry about what Equador wants. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2d/cf/70/2dcf708726c298144ec68846106a9f18.jpg Yes, it's much better to have a leader that the rest of the world laughs at and ridicules.

Gosh, yes! He's very smart, indeed!
"We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20 percent of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? It's a thing called nuclear weapons and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things," Trump said during a press conference.
Such august musings. ...and he was wrong about the uranium. He's always wrong.

And then his cabinet merely seems to be cronies in Russian dealings. Yeah a great man.
I just know that son is moving his wife home from S Korea, that may or may not have some significance he won't be coming for about 6 more months. This all happened after last week end. It's because the little boy is sick a lot. But he was not going to have them come home until last weekend. Let's see what happened last weekend?
I fear what idiotic thing trump will do, he has no understanding of his words on the world scene. If he does something over there he will get millions killed. We are dealing with 2 unstable world leaders on the scene, god help us all.

I think some folks are too invested in what they hoped Trump would be, that they might never be able to see Trump realistically.

From Trump's weekly address....
"Here at the White House, we are dedicating the month of July to three of our favorite words – MADE IN AMERICA. For more than two centuries, those three beautiful words have been the world standard for quality, craftsmanship and excellence – and they still are today."
Is that why his signature crap is made in China? Is that why Ivanka's shmatas are made in Indonesia, China and Hong Kong? Her shoes are made in factories with slave-like conditions. What a champion of women! Gee, I wonder if he'll impose hefty tariffs on the Trump brand?

Having spend the last week in Germany, I have heard G20-leader after G-20 leader says thisin his/her own words. Funny what news can look like if the RW pundits don't have a chance to edit and spin the news. It does not bode well for us I am afraid...

I think some folks are too invested in what they hoped Trump would be, that they might never be able to see Trump realistically. Totally the opposite situation. Some people are so consumed by the attempts to define Trump politically by the GOP establishment, the Democrats, the media, and the deep state-- collectively "the swamp"-- that they'll never see Trump for who he really is. The problem now is for his opponents who have invested their reputations, and professional futures on a fictional Trump they've presented to us. His continued successful presidency will be a continual source of consternation for them.

And this is exactly why rebound relationships are so fraught with peril. You really should have given yourself more time after your messy breakup with Cruz. Rarely is a good decision made in haste, and rarely does one allow himself to see the truth. Everyone else can see, of course....

Wrong again. Absent entitlements, we're fine. given that the government is not on the hook for any unfunded benefits, we are, indeed, fine. what we have been having trouble with is funding the continuing obligations. that was not a problem prior to 1980, but it has been a problem since then (with the exception of a few years under Clinton). FDR was not responsible for continuing expenses since Carter. sorry. he just isn't.

What can I say? Cruz is a creation of the swamp- consciously? Probably not. He is the picture of the conservative messiah. He ticked all the boxes. Until his deception on TPA and TPP.

And soon you will see Trump for who he is. The rest of us know already. He is exactly who he spent the last forty years telling us he was. Marketer, con man, bully, narcissist, liar. Rash, thin-skinned, irrational, self-aggrandizing, immature. Quite possibly the most fundamentally dishonest person in the country. Interested only in himself, and does not give a damn about anybody else (although he will sometimes make a show of feigning concern while setting you up to be exploited.) Then, now, always, forever. That is who he is. Who he will always be.
