Never Trumper speak and regurgitation of CNN/MSM. You can always spot it with the weak ass "alt-right" term. Hillary and Russia were and and still are an item.

If we don't get immigration under control, that will be the last thing on their mind. They will more than likely be wondering why we let all of the immigrants in this country causing a crisis of hunger. They will only be wondering where their next meal will come from. At the present rate immigrants are coming into this country, the population of the United States will be 525,000,000 by the year 2100. That's only 82 years away and that's 200,000,000 more people.
Would a total collapse of our financial system (no more welfare checks or food stamp cards) qualify as "an extinction-level event"? We've seen what society looks like when the food stamp cards don't work, and it got very ugly, very quickly. The current level of entitlement spending simply can not be sustained. The millennials will not be able to fund social security and Medicare/Medicaid for the baby boomers. This is a mathematical fact. Half of the citizens in this nation are receiving some sort of Federal aid, and the number of people on the public dole is growing every day. You tell me how this can possibly end well.
Crazy is a great look on you Goosey. Fits you like a glove.
Also, please note everyone, how Goosey the Libtard NEVER addresses issues. I mention immigration and show how inhumane illegal immigration is, offer a reasonable solution (make legal immigration easier) and all Goosey can do is make some asinine comments about our great grandkids. That is typical of libtards. They are bankrupt in the arena of ideas and are left only with the politics of personal attacks.
His own worst enemy. Remember when:
"He's not a war hero," Trump told a gathering of religious conservatives. "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
The following day, Trump said McCain's work on behalf of military veterans was "all talk no action."
Putting this one on my reading list.

Putin, Xi, and Merkel all inspiring greater global confidence.

This is not embarrassing or sad. It is wonderful.
I don't want the US to be the world's sugar daddy. We cannot afford it anyway, because the idiot they loved ran up our debt by 9 trillion dollars while buying friends that are really not our friends. 9 TRILLION dollars! And with an economy growing at 2% because of taxation and over regulation, we are supposed to support all these worldly beggars and take potential terrorists off of their hands and protect them from each other.
And what a total bunch of BS anyway. Xi is doing nothing to stop North Korea from developing ICBMs to carry their nukes worldwide (which I am sure you will agree is rather destabilizing for "global" confidence). The last I checked, Putin is still in Ukrane and fighting for the dictator that uses chemical weapons in Syria (and I thought everyone believed that Putin was trying to interfere in the German elections, too.)
I am quite certain that Neville Chamberlain was once considered a very inspiring peacekeeper.
[Dawg80 smacks Goosey in the face with a wet mop] Hello! You're the one grasping at straws. I would vote for Trump again, TODAY!!! if the other choice was your gal Krooked Killary.
Let me post that again, for emphasis, and to remove any doubt I don't agree a vote for Trump, over Killary, was a "mistake."
I WOULD VOTE FOR TRUMP AGAIN, TODAY!, IF THE OTHER CHOICE WAS YOUR GAL KROOKED KILLARY.
Is that clear enough for ya?
I never vote for democraps. But, I could have NOT voted or voted for a Third Party candidate. But, with Krooked Killary the other choice....face it, in the November, 2016 general election, either Trump or Killary was gonna win...I had to cast an anti-Killary vote, and that meant supporting the ONLY candidate who had a chance to beat her: Trump.
A Dems/Libs don't learn from the socialism and communist destruction of other countries and killing of hundreds of millions of people. They still wish to "go there" with ours.

Chaos under a microscope is a new concept. Looks like some of the chaos of the previous 8 years is beginning to be exposed.
Gosh, what a horrid proposal by the heartless Trump administration. I want people allowed in that don't speak English and, having no skills to work or support themselves, will be an extra special burden on taxpayers who are already 19 trillion dollars in debt.
And don't even go with the Statue of Liberty argument like the CNN idiot did. When the Statue of Liberty was adorned with the "tired and poor" verbiage: we didn't have welfare, food stamps, Obamacare or anything like that; we were newly industrialized yet still heavily agricultural where we needed a lot of unskilled and skilled labor; and arriving here with no intention of learning English or working was a direct and quick path to starvation. What we offered was the "LIBERTY" to worship as they desired and to become whatever they wanted, not to suck the life out of the American taxpayer and be given free everything.
I suggest reading the requirements to becoming a Canadian immigrant to see what needs to be done in a welfare society without destroying the economy/country.
Yes, we already allow more LEGAL immigrants (yes Trump's plan will too) than any other other nation. Reckon why?
For some reason, I have to keep reminding you all that I am not a liberal. I voted against Obama.
No, I understand you claim "Libertarian" whatever that happens to be this week, but your Trump hate overrides any logic you might happen to inject into a discussion. Your latest Trump hate shows your true colors as not admiring what our founding fathers did to establish this great nation.
This could be the best thing to happen to the administration since the election.
This guy doesn't look like a guy that takes a lot of junk off of anyone, so if he can stop the leaks and put a muzzle on Trump's ill-advised tweets (not all of them, just the ones where he attacks for the sake of attacking). Also, I was growing concerned about the amount of leverage Trumps kids and relatives were getting inside the administration. I like that they ALL report to him.
Fire all of the Obama infected holdovers.
LEAKS! WASH POST obtains FULL transcripts of president's confidential talks with Mexico and Australia... Developing...
“This is going to kill me,” he said to Turnbull. “I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people.”
Well, I say that settles the debate as to whether Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder.
Probabpy true. But here it seems he's stating "everyone" thinks he's the greatest person in the world for not wanting and not letting some people into the country and wanting to stop more; but, he's going to get killed in popularity and polls and more because he's about to let 2,000 in that otherwise probably wouldn't be let in.
And Trump's negotiation tactics are weak and whiny.
Mexico, if you don't stop saying that you won't pay for the wall I will look like a fraud. Stop being mean, boo hoo, or I will run away. Boo hoo. Putin was nicer to me. Boo boo.
Well, what if you don't but you let me say that you did? Boo hoo.
When Pena Nieto says that he will continue to be firm in saying Mexico could not pay for the wall, Trump implores him to not say so to the media.
“The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that,” Trump said. “You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances.”
Trump can't get what is better for America if that makes him look worse? Trump first, America second. Any surprise there?
"Politically, it is the most important thing..."
Sounds like it didn't take Trump long to transition from a "businessman" to a politician.
Drain the swamp. Lol
Trump was right again. The CIA, NSA, FBI, or some other spy organization recorded his conversations and sent them to the NYT. In my 70 years on earth, I've never heard of another president being spied on having a conversation with another world leader and it being sent out so everybody can read it, including our enemies. I would fire every head of all of those spy organizations. Somebody needs to go to prison for this.
One thing for sure, no Republican can ever disgrace the Oval Office like Bill Clinton did.
Looks like Guisslapp is the one with a personality disorder. Five posts in a row with not a single reply from his opposition. I'd say the guy has a fixation and is a little bothered.
Some of you guys were already quite good at self delusion. A few of you are surprising me, though.
We don't know who leaked this, yet. But we do know the substance of the leak, and it exposes Trump for exactly who he is. It is almost as if you guys are completely disregarding the content of the leak because of how the information became available. Of course, when Hillary was illegally hacked the substance of the hack was fair game to you guys. Self delusion and cognitive dissonance at its finest.
This POS is exactly who I have been claiming he is.
“On the wall, you and I both have a political problem,” Trump said. “My people stand up and say, ‘Mexico will pay for the wall,’ and your people probably say something in a similar but slightly different language.”
Wtf?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.was...o-frightening/
"And that brings us to the next point: Trump is frighteningly obsessed with himself and his image to such an extent that he cannot fulfill the role of commander in chief. He cannot frame logical arguments based on public policy, and therefore comes across as, well, a fool to foreign leaders. His desire to maintain his own image suggests he’d be more than willing to make the country’s interests subordinate to his own need for personal affirmations."
The third point in the article is even more troubling.
These attacks are driving more people toward Trump. But, that's not what's important. Pay no attention to these popularity polls. Just like ALL the polls had Krooked Killary winning easily, so too are these polls skewed and inaccurate. Ultimately, Trump will be judged, by REAL Americans, on the job he does for them. If the economy continues to grow and real jobs and economic opportunity is created, Trump will get the credit and be re-elected in 2020. If the economy is sluggish and people are generally not better off, then most voters will look to someone else.
In 1996 voters held their nose and voted for Slick Willy because the economy was doing very well and the USA, as a whole, was pretty good. I have posted before, even though I did not vote for Billy Boy either time, and I don't like his personal antics, and how he sold missile technology to the Chicoms to fund his '96 campaign (remember the Chinese monks, who despite their vow of poverty, had $tens of millions to donate to the Klinton-igore campaign? Yeah, uh huh...), I have to admit the economy did well under him. In fact, Bill Clinton enjoyed the best 8-year run as POTUS of any prez dating back to the mid-19th century. He nosed out (barely) Reagan's 8-year record for economic growth. Of course, those two as #1 and #2 are waaaaaaaaay ahead of the 3rd place guy.
It's the economy, stupid...
That's the mantra for any prez, except obummer, to get re-elected. obummer is a special case...the Teflon man, where nothing bad ever sticks to him. obummer has the worst 8-year run as POTUS in the economy....with one exception, as I recall. Maybe not....trying to remember. obummer might have the absolute worst 8-year run, and other prezzes had just a worst 4-year run because they weren't re-elected. Regardless, the economy sucked under obummer, by any measure. He was given a pass.
Trump won't be given any passes. He's not winning friends and influencing people to look the other way re: the economy. He'll be judged (in 2020) by how people's wallets have faired. Period.
Bill Clinton had such an ego that he thought it was ok to let an intern give him a BJ in the Oval office. If Trump ever does anything this bad, I'll quit supporting him.
No its not. People will continue to cut bait until he is down to his irreducible base.
Trump only does one thing well - marketing/sel-promotion. A useful skill for getting elected. Not so useful for governing or draining the swamp.
You guys got snookered. Some of you will wise up. Others will continue to practice self delusion.
No his base is still growing because working people are sick of being led around by the PC crowd of socialist, democrats, and other big government liberals. Believe CNN and the MSM if you choose, but you were snookered going back prior to the election and you continue to be. Sadly you have no agenda other than hating Trump.
Anything he can't do by executive order has proven to be problematic for him because he is not a skilled governor. Those traits that his base loved make him particularly ineffective. It may be now and it may be later, but if he can't deliver on his promises (Wall, healthcare, resurgence of American manufacturing), his base will throw him out of office in favor of a more bombastic option . . . who's results will be even worse.
I would say that Trump has been VERY effective at pointing out media and liberal double standards. The problem is that he hasn't been able to capitalize on it because he's a poor leader in the political realm and he has almost no discipline. As soon as he scores a point, he gives one back.
Trump's "team" does not want to win or be led. The Republicans are as corrupt as the Democrats. That's been obvious to most of us for years. He leads people who want to better their situation. The corrupt Washington establishment is on top with nowhere to go but down. They refuse to be led to a lower position. Even democrats are seeing the weakness of their own party's agenda now. They have no agenda other than pandering to those with no thinking skills who want more free stuff. Sadly those people and the Democrats believe they are entited to more free stuff. Trump haters with no dog in the establishment would rather give more stuff away than see him succeed.
Surely he knew all this right? Why volunteer for the job? He didn't bill himself as anything but a leader. I'm sure you would admit that some of Trump's leading has been impossible: fix Obamacare, but keep pre-existing conditions coverage. Not to mention his impossible boarder wall promise.
What's the status on the Chinese and the bad deal we get from them?
No he didn't "know it". None of us realized just how corrupt the GOP was. As obvious at it was, we hoped they would be forced to turn the right way, but with people like McCain leading the opposition he is limited.
Outside of Rand Paul and one or two others, not a single member of congress was willing to adjust the pre-ex clause. He knew that. He had no way of knowing several members of the GOP were actually flaming liberals who were deeply entrenched in the Obamacare corruption.
I believe he is allowing his military officials to lead on touchy foreign issues.
I don't care for all the silly slip ups under the MSM microscope, but I do believe many of them have just been orchestrated distractions.
I have always said that his record as a private citizen (which I wouldn't call flawless as it pertains to leadership) is no indicator of his ability to be a good president. What we're seeing day in and day out affirms what I believed during the campaign.
My fear is that, in the long run, the cause of conservatism will be set-back light years by Trump because he is destroying the most viable vehicle to deliver that conservatism to the country. When you look at what could be being accomplished if Trump had a modicum of self-discipline or if had ideological convictions, it's very frustrating. The democrats are the biggest dumpster fire they've been in my life time and the GOP decided to one-up them on the dumpster fire.
Well...I'll say it again. If the economy is humming these next four years, and especially in the critical election year of 2020, Trump will get re-elected. Only by a much, much wider margin than last time. It will probably be a landslide. If the economy sucks, or is even sluggish, he'll lose his re-election bid. It really is that simple.
So! to that end, the democraps and the Rhinos i.e. the "Washington establishment" will do whatever they can to kill economic growth. They don't want Trump to be successful. If he is, that establishes a new precedent of "outsiders" winning national elections. That renders BOTH major parties mostly irrelevant, or at least, takes away a lot of their political power.
And for the more moronic amongst us (Goosey), who can't see this oh-so-obvious truism, just look at what the 'craps did to Bernie. Neither party wants to lose its grip on their power. And, Bernie supporters have become disillusioned with the 'craps. Most Bernie supporters despise the 'craps more than we conservatives do (or, as much). Morons like Goosey think ALL those left of center will flock to support the next 'crap nominee vs. Trump. Nope. Many (most?) will not. Goosey thinks Trump's base is eroding (it's not, it's actually growing) and since the left is already in the bank as anti-Trump, it's a slam dunk. Wrong! While they won't support Trump, they won't support the 'craps' nominee either.
A good economy in 2020 assures Trump's re-election. Period.
He is a non politician and it is not the new norm. It is the old norm coming back as it was in the early years of this country. This is a representative government and this government has not been representative in a long time due to the politicians who control all the power. We need Trump in this country in the worst way after Obama has purposely tried to destroy its economy and our base buy which we derive all our power. We as citizens of the US are in a very difficult situation. Our economy is recovering and our military is being rebuilt to face the gravest situation this country has ever faced. We owe our economic enemies a significant amount of money. Our military advantage has eroded to make us vulnerable from multiple fronts. Our younger generation believes that they should be catered to, are frightened when they are challenged, and think only of themselves which is exactly the opposite of the people who made this country strong. Political correctness is distracting our youth from the issues that need to be addressed for even survival. To top it off, political correctness is ingrained into our school system in order to maintain the illusion that "if I am nice to those who wish me harm, they will leave me along." I got news for them, once our leadership in maintaining order in this world is lost we will be rolled over with ease while we are looking at our smart phones. The laws of nature still apply even in the 21st century and there are people still hungry for power over others to include the "politicians" who run this country now. WE NEED TRUMP IN THE WORST WAY NOW!
AMEN. The entire DC establishment is corrupt to the bone. This corrupt system of government can not, and will not stand. It's beginning to crumble under the weight of its tyranny. Most Americans are fed up with the BS in Washington DC and the election of President Donald Trump was just the beginning of a revolution. The corrupt DC establishment knows this to be true. It knows that if Trump succeeds, they are finished. Hell, half of them will likely end up in prison. People like Guisslapp have simply been totally duped by this corrupt DC establishment. He still believes all the propaganda being spewed by the mainstream media. He's probably a decent guy, but he's been had. He hates Trump because the media hates Trump and told him to hate Trump as well. Thankfully, most Americans have the fake news media figured out and pay it little or no attention anymore.
Trump is all style and no substance.
You can bash on the D.C. Establishment all you want, but Trump is not the savior you are looking for.
The reality that many posters here fail to recognize is that DC is corrupt because of the HUGE amount of money that is involved in making political decisions. Nothing will change until that money is gone. Trump has none NOTHING to change the money flow. In fact, he embraces it with billionaires and lobbyists. Trump is a MONEY MAN.
I'm not arguing the point, because I don't know this answer. But, is Trump changing the source of the money? By that I mean, is it NEW money to DC and thus outside of the entrenched establishment? If yes, then it might not be a bad thing. We all know it takes money to drive change in national politics. "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
No major liabilities? Ya mean like:
1. socialism
2. socialism
3. socialism
And as a bonus:
1. selling out our foreign policy to the highest bidder
2. obummercare, er, worse, killarycare
3. the Krooked Klinton Foundation scam
4. absolute hatred for our military service men & women
5. absolute hatred for law enforcement
6. absolute disdain for Christianity (you like that one!)
7. absolute disdain for anything righteous and good (see #6)
8. open borders
9. she is a big fan of the Dallas Cowgirls (egad!)
10. never saw a tax she didn't like
etc....
No thanks. I'll take my chances with Trump.
