Trump is a dick. Plain and simple.

[bluetick]

A long time ago I pledged to support whoever puts us on permanent Daylight Savings Time, and I hear Trump is looking into that very thing. So I may have to do a 180 and vote for him next time around. If he's eligible and not indicted/incarcerated (big if, I know). And if he lives that long (wrt his Mickey Ds and KFC jones).

[Professor Tiger]

trump has been a liar all his life
whether it be to his wives to his investors and now to his base

but he does cut through the bullshit on a lot of stuff that helps a lot of people

filing taxes is now a breeze, business and the economy have benefitted for his making middle America great again

pulling out of nafta and iran deal and nato and the paris accords and trade deals and nuclear deals have all shooken things up for the better hopefully--we've been paying disproportionate costs for years--need to level the playing field again and take care of americans first
watching the onslaught of migrants whether its record numbers or not and seeing that we cant even take care of who we have here already begs for something to slow the numbers. its a kjoke that the dems see no problems--and almost befg for opemn borders

but trump is a liar and will continue to lie its been proven over and over again.

but he's done more for middle America then any president since reagen. the 50% working stiffs don't feel like there being ripped off by other 50% that refuse to work. we don't feel like we are labeled just because of the color of our skin like we did when if we diasagreeed with the BLM or the LBGQ or the CAIR or the metoo movement on issues.

but im sure the pendulum will sway again back to the left but hopefully not for another 4 years

^Post of the month.

Except the part of the pendulum swinging back to the Dem's. Six months ago I would have agreed with you, but now they are falling all over themselves becoming the party of Socialism (can you say Venezuela?), open borders, outlawing the internal combustion engine, mandatory veganism, infanticide, Jew-hating, and reparations. That's a platform that will not be well received outside of the Northeast, Left Coast, and large college campuses. They can definitely kiss PA, WI, and MI goodbye. And probably several more states too.

The Bolshevik Barbie is Trump's greatest asset going into 2020. It wouldn't shock me if she is on Trump's payroll.

AOC won her office with 15k votes. Your hamburger is safe.

[Professor Tiger]

AOC, and all the candidates that signed on to her Green New Deal, will have to explain THEIR support for outlawing beef, as well as all the rest of the loony stuff contained therein. Good luck with explaining that in normal America.

[Toemeesleather]

That explaining/enabling takes place daily, all day on MSNBC

[bluetick]

The Green New Deal isn't going anywhere, but it's in better shape than Dotard's proposed budget deal. Cut Medicare and Social Security by 1.5 trillion while giving the military MORE than they asked for? Polls show people favor genital warts over his budget.

What do you want to bet that Mueller releases his report tomorrow, on the “Ides of March”? But unlike the Mueller Report, the assassination attempt of Julius Caesar was successful.

From the “you just can’t make this up department,” here is the intellectual leader of the Democrat party, sharing her eloquence and wisdom. Not a single like, ummm, or ya know, was repeated:

"But unlike the Mueller Report, the assassination attempt of Julius Caesar was successful."

If it was successful, it wasn't an attempt...

[Professor Tiger]

Incorrect: an attempt can be successful or unsuccessful. For example, the term “free throw attempt.”

[hedge]

In that case I wish somebody would successfully attempt to assassinate you...

[Professor Tiger]

AOC can't utter a sentence without "ummmm," "like," or "ya know." You needed a basketball reference to understand the meaning if the word "attempted."

And you liberals fancy yourselves the "smart people." How much did your parents have to pay to get you into UNC?

[hedge]

About $800 a semester when I was there, and I'm not kidding. Pretty good value...

[Professor Tiger]

Was that $800 the amount you spent on tuition or the amount you spent on drugs?

[hedge]

Tuition. I spent way more on drugs than that...

excerpt from NY Magazine 3/14/19

One of Donald Trump’s favorite riffs is a wish, cast as a warning, that his supporters inside and outside the state security services will unleash violence on his political opponents if they continue to oppose the administration. The specifics of the riff don’t vary much. Trump laments that his opponents are treating him unfairly, praises the toughness and strength of his supporters — a category that combines the police, military, and Bikers for Trump, which he apparently views as a Brownshirt-like militia — and a prediction that his supporters will at some point end their restraint.
He does it again in a new interview with Breitbart:

I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.

Early warnings that Trump could undermine the Constitution have not been borne out, which has produced a certain complacency about the issue. It is true that Trump is only an aspirational authoritarian, and to date has failed to bring his most illiberal dreams to life. He has used the government to punish independent media, prevailing upon the Post Office to raise rates on Amazon in retaliation for Jeff Bezos’s ownership of the Washington Post, and repeatedly told his staff to order the Justice Department to block a merger in order to punish CNN. So far, this has had little effect.

[Professor Tiger]

Meanwhile, in the REAL threat to our Democracy, the leaders of the DOJ, FBI, and IC, transformed their once-respectable agencies into nothing more than the Plumbers Unit of the Democrat Party.

I see the French are still protesting that gas tax (which I was assured was the obvious cause) that was repealed months ago.

[hedge]

It was a very unpopular tax...

[bluetick]

So Manbaby tweeted 50+ times in some kind of weekend festival of typed-out grievances. Lots of speculation that he knows the gig is about up. All on the heels of that "my police/military/bikers will mobilize for me" warning.

What could it be, you think?
