    Trump is not likable. He has never been likeable, and I'm a New Yorker and know him from way back. We use to laugh at him because he was so flamboyant, but that's not what people should look at. After all the most likable people are sociopaths, and that's why they make great con artists.

    It's Trump's policies that should concern us. The problem is with all the pressure from the Democrats and the liberal media, it's hard to know what Trump's policies are.

    But if the proper channels are corrupt, alternate means are necessary.

    Some Democrats have said some of that stuff.

    BTW, I think the Senate is enough support for smaller states and want to get rid of the Electoral College, but I still don't support Democrats.

    I see the electoral college as essential to the existence of our republic.. without it the will of California and New York will rule the country with an iron fist. Maybe wrapped in rainbows and unicorns but iron none the less. It's entirely malicious.

    Surprise, surprise. :rolleyes:
    Nonsense. You do what Trump did. The Orange Oaf should be looking for the truth about every pol who might be peddling influence.
    You're in denial. Your boy was caught with his pants down.

    No, I'm accusing Eric Swalwell of threatening to use nuclear weapons on US citizens.

    Am I okay? Because I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

    It goes all the way to the recent Bush Derangement Syndrome, a term Charles Krauthammer coined.

    It demonstrates yet again, as we've seen through the centuries, how easy it is to get people to hate. And the ease of it all, the obvious manipulations of public perceptions, is the scariest part of these phenomena.

    You can now say anything you want and call it 'parody'. Now any politician, right up to the president, has a get out of criticism free card.

    Not if you watch what he does. He has eased some restrictions on energy and mfg that Obama imposed. He has taken action to balance the trade deals and he's fought steadily to restrict illegal immigration and is still battling. Just listen to the left wing complaints and it will lead you to what his policies are.

    I include his decisions as part of how he acts.

    He's also eased EPA regulations that protect the health of Americans living near mines, refineries, etc.

    Some regulations did need to go, others not.
    He reopened NAFTA, got little--nothing from Canada and a managed auto industry from Mexico--and may have given up more. Canada, our reliable supplier of raw materials is now busy giving better access to its resources in return for trade deals. They definitely don't trust us any longer.
    Has he? Is he? When will he go after employers hiring illegals--like Trump resorts? Half of illegals are here because they overstayed a visa. How will we get a handle on illegals coming here if employers can hire them with impunity?

    What in the hell has Trump done? He gave 85% of the tax cuts to people making $400,000 per year after saying he wouldn't cut taxes for rich folks. Promise made, promise broken.

    Real wages are flat contrary to what you hear. From Q1 2017 to Q2 2109... no change.

    He said he was going to fix healthcare, fast. His unpopular plan had less than 20% public support, so he couldn't even get it through s Republican House and Senate.

    We could discuss what he has accomplished all day and never agree but he has been active and he has a surprising number of accomplishments given that there isn't a wheel turning on the left side of the wagon. By the way, tax cuts go to those who pay taxes.

    You're running away from your claim?
    You knew Trump wouldn't keep his promise?

    If you don't like this country because you make $400,000 and didn't get a tax cut--what Trump promised--you're free to take your money somewhere else.

    Of course not.

    He has kept all of them that were not tied up in court by the DNC bandits.

    Huh?

    He gave 85% of the tax cuts to rich people. He said he wouldn't do that. If Trump had kept his promise, tax cuts to those making less than $400,000 per year a tax cut six times higher.
