Quigley says

Falsely accusing people is a crime that used to be punished with the same sentence that would have been imposed on the accused.
It still should be.
We’d see a lot fewer malicious acts of allegation.

Great idea.

I have seen no real evidence that Kim is dismantling his nukes, or intends to do so, which is the base demand

On the denuclearization committed to at the leaders' first summit in Singapore, Kim told Pompeo that inspectors were invited to visit the Punggye-ri nuclear test site "to confirm that it has been irreversibly dismantled," according to a statement from spokeswoman Heather Nauert.

That's a wrap. Trump is weaker on environmental regulations in favor of economic expansion.

^^ other than that I didn't see a legit criticism of our favorite POTUS.

Keep America great in 2020 all but guaranteed

Has that happened? I have not heard that it has been followed through. But let's say it will be, you do realize that that particular site had been so degraded by multiple nuke tests that it was collapsing, had killed many people and had to abandoned? So allowing verification of a site you are already abandoning for safety reasons is almost meaningless, I certainly wouldn't want to be one of the inspectors on that gig. When they start allowing (and it really happens) unannounced inspection of active facilities to verify the dismantlement of their nukes then I will kiss the ring on Trump's tiny finger.

Did you write this sentence with an anti-trump mad lib?

Pure rhetoric without a cohesive thought, or any actual meaning whatsoever.

Have you seen any evidence ok Kim threatening to blow up Hawaii? Compare this winter this last year and tell me Kim isnt compliant. GTFO if you cant appreciate how much safer Trump has made the world

lol--so Trump's accomplishment is giving up wargames in Korea in return for Kim not making blowhard statements about blowing up Hawaii?

To anti Trump people,
Do you feel we were safer at the end of Obama's Presidency as opposed to the start of his Presidency?

rdm says

Has that happened?

Was this even discussed under Bush or Obama? NOPE.

Progress.

It's called progress towards a 100% dismantling of nukes.
You can come out from under the bed Obama. It's getting safer.

So dismantling a testing facility that was crumbling to the point it had killed some of NK's scientists and had to be abandoned regardless of any agreement; this is progress that Trump has brought by elevating a fat murderous dictator to the level of a world leader and ham stringing the sanctions regime? Yes, being in love is a many splendored thing. But without love, this requires suspension of disbelief, but if it makes you "feel" safe and happy; good night, sweet dreams, it will all be over soon enough; Uncle Donnie will be by to kiss you goodnight and you know he loves all his sycophants almost as much as Kim.

Allowing any inspection is progress.
If Donald and Kim really fall in love, it will be the greatest love story ever told.

I want to hear why a clear thinking adult would be anti-Trump.

He cut taxes without cutting spending first. In fact, he's on a spending binge.

https://www.downsizinggovernment.org/dems-take-gop-and-future-generations-cleaners

"The 2,232-page omnibus spending deal signed into law last week threw fiscal sanity out the window. While entitlement spending has continued to grow, the relative restraint in discretionary spending had provided hope that federal budget control was possible.

But that hope is now dashed under this president and Congress. The omnibus hiked discretionary spending 13 percent in a single year, while scraping the budget caps that were the singular achievement of reformers after the landmark 2010 election.

President Trump included substantial cuts in his recent budget, but signing the omnibus made a joke of his own proposals for fiscal restraint.

The GOP’s discretionary budget actions and the relentless rise of health care and retirement spending have put the budget on a catastrophic course.

Projections by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget show that, without reforms, deficits will top $1 trillion next year and $2.4 trillion by 2028, and continue growing after that."

TrumpingTits says

Yes but what we all saw on TV was a trial and not a job interview.

Nope--he wasn't going to jail no matter what happened. Worst case was he didn't become a Supreme Court Justice.

That's a job interview.

LOL this guy is hilarious. Dude the article points out first hand sworn accounts of people previously intimate with Ford who contradict her story. Grassley all but states he expects more contradictions when Ford's lawyers finally share all the evidence he is demanding. He also directly accuses the lawyers of not believing Ford's story and purely using the situation as a political weapon.

^^ is this how you define credible? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Nope. That's a lie. It points out first hand sworn accounts that don't corroborate Ford. That's a BIG difference from contradicting.

The fact that you have to exaggerate and outright lie about it says everything that needs to be said.

CBOEtrader says

That's a wrap. Trump is weaker on environmental regulations in favor of economic expansion.

Did you miss the part about his shitty tax plan? Or did you purposely ignore it?

I love the SNAP Food Box, what a great idea. This way we make sure kids get good food and not just Chips and Mac n' Cheese from Shanaynay and Luanne

A job interview is different from a trial.

Yes but what we all saw on TV was a trial and not a job interview.

It was an attempted character assassination. Well, at least now he will have something to remember liberals by, every time he judges a case in the future. Which is what probably scares feminists more than anything else.

LeonDurham says

Even Fox News called her credible FFS

For your sake I hope English is your "second language", or even distant "third" because that would be the only legitimate excuse for not understanding English.
Do you understand the meaning of "credible"? It doesn't mean accurate, or truthful. Nigerian billionaire is credible too.

FBI report came out and said accusation is false, her best friends who she said were witnesses, all came back and said that they did not witness anything like that or saw anything like that.

Booger says

I always knew exercise was good for you.

LeonDurham says

It points out first hand sworn accounts that don't corroborate Ford. That's a BIG difference from contradicting.

You are missing the point, probably because you still havent read the article and have no idea what we're talking about.

Ford's ex boyfriend and Fords own testimony as it changed over time each contradicts her testimony before Senate. These are facts. Try to keep up.

LeonDurham says

It points out first hand sworn accounts that don't corroborate Ford. That's a BIG difference from contradicting.

This is also inaccurate though. Ford's childhood friend stated the party "never happened". She has since testified that Ford's FBI friend pressured her to change her testimony to "not remembering a party like that". The point of this deception is specifically so people whose brains are soft for propaganda have the reaction you just had.

Congrats on being the propagandists' target audience.

I'm glad you re recognize that one must come before the other, not all at once.

We will see what his track record w the deficit is after he has had a chance to both cut spending and let the economy grow from the tax cuts.

The debt is 50 years in the making and just doubled under Obama, so let's keep this in some perspective. At some point giant crashes will clean out the system. Under which president ? That's like a giant game of Russian roulette

I seem to remember the President NOT being happy with the omnibus bill.

CBOEtrader says

I'm glad you re recognize that one must come before the other, not all at once.

I'm disappointed that you missed the point. He's increasing spending while cutting taxes. Debt is ballooning. We don't have to wait to see that he's failing on the financial front. Usually politicians promise fiscal responsibility some time in the distant future; I'm not even sure he's doing that.

I'm so old, I remember an October not long ago when Obama, Hillary, the entire Democratic Party, and the Media was lecturing me about accepting the outcome of an election.

Aphroman says

Two years later and the Trumpcucks are still bitter that Hillary received more votes. How sad is that?

Completely missed the point.

Let me explain it special for you.

The Democrats spent the weeks before the election demanding that Trump Voters accept the outcome of the election.

They then spent the next two years trying to delegitimize Trump by any means necessary. They literally flipped their script 180 the day after the election. That's called gross hypocrisy.

ROTFLMAO

Aphroman says

Is turnabout suddenly NOT fair play?

I don't remember the Republicans, the Media, Big Tech, and all Academia trying to say Obama wasn't a real President, that his election was hacked by Russia, and that he was an actual fascist supported only by Racists.


Again, all the Forces of Influence in this country said in October 2016 that Trump and his supporters have to accept the election results, then spent the next two years "explaining" how he allegedly colluded with Putin to take over the US Election process.

Wall Street is the ultimate judge on the economy and economic policies. Wall Street has concluded "increasing spending while cutting taxes" will benefit the economy at this point in time.
I would go with Wall Street.

No Aphroman, no. It would be the Democrats who are bitter, having lost the election even though they got more votes.

Donald Trump claimed Obama was a foreign born Muslin to this day.

That he did, and knowingly lied. I'm sure he also cheated on his wives, his taxes, and in his business dealings. It's all irrelevant. What matters is, is he good for the country and the world when it comes to the most pressing issues we face? Is he good for the economy, is he capable of dealing with Islam and dictators. That is all that matters.
