I am asking you to do this so you have some level of understanding of the level of propaganda you live in. I would bet $1,000 I won't get a response.

You just wrote it. How is Trump violating the clause? Be specific.
The national debt has grown, on average, doubling every 8 years, regardless of who has been prezdident since 1971 after the Nixon shock. People whine and moan that the national debt has doubled under Obozo for example, but it did the same under Duh. It only exposes how naive people are who whine about this. They've never looked up a logarithmic chart of the national debt, and they have selective memory about it.
I am reluctant to call people stupid, but they can be both naive and intentionally deceptive.
I know what let's do. If we want to have a chance of keeping the disaster of a Precedent that Trump is, let's try to blame it all on the "Libruls" as if it was all a result of a grand left wing conspiracy.
Because we all know that ending mandatory hospitalization, gender bending, furries, and abortion were all conservative ideas.
In reality, the old Rockefeller Republicans were too bowtied and polite to smash degeneracy.
Climate change is a hoax, at least as liberals understand it.
Disagree? I have a computer 30 inches away from me that has more processing power than a Cray super computer of 1990. Give me a model. As we all, should, know the basis of a science is a model which doesn't only match past observations but predicts what is possible which can be confirmed by experiment or observation.
Show us all the model. Let us test the model against observation.
You may be thinking we dump tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and this is bad. It probably is, but it's not as bad as you are told, nowhere near as you believe.

As I've said on this forum years ago, we simply agreed to wear seatbelts. We weren't going to quibble in endless arguments about exactly how risky it is to not wear a seat belts.
Insurance companies lobbied state government to get the police to enforce seat belts so they could payout less; and localities and states got revenue for harassing drivers.
Wall Street wants carbon trading to create a mandatory market with huge middleman fees.

Even worse for car seats. In CA they lobbied like a 6-10 year or so shelf life (can't remember exact number), even if never used. After that you are free to be harassed to buy a new one. But then again you get harassed for producing too much junk. All BS.
The world has changed, in some ways that many of us find troubling.
MOST of us find troubling.
The most disturbing part is where two different groups see the same facts but different "truths". Also disturbing is the personal attack as the goto tactic in a "debate".
The fact and the "truths".
In polite society (that non virtual world we live in) I don't bring up politics because you just can't win. When somebody talks about how global warming has made them feel so much hotter than they used to despite facts. Or how our presidents attempt to root out AMERICAN corruption in Ukraine is an impeachable offense but it's OK if other politicians blatantly use their influence to amass great wealth at the expense of the American people.
@Marcus, Issue is not IF we should get off fossil fuels, issue is HOW. So-called environmentalists who are in reality fucking uneducated idiots propose solutions which will catapult us back into 19th century life quality. Rational discourse is shut down largely due to screeching of the collective Left - and now the collective right is reciprocating in kind.
Then why are so many politicians paid t5o say that we don't need to get off of fossil fuels ?
And why aren't we further in to development of 3rd and 4th generation nuclear reactors ?
I mean what the hell man ! Electric cars are here ! NOW !
I have no idea, but a rational explanation is that environmentalists have scared people off from nuclear so that any politician who supports it will not be elected. Competition with oil (as if need less oil if use nuclear) will not be helpful either to achieve more donations.
jazz_music says This is a victimhood claim from an establishment who actually holds the majority of power.
Same as white male victimhood.
As usual - 1. please let me know if white males are accepted into professional schools with much higher scores than certain minorities or not, and is that racism/discrimination or not. 2. I would like to see what realistic solutions do your saints such as AOC offer with respect to fossil fuel replacement. The solutions proposed should not involve ones that decrease life quality of 99% or involve taxing everyone at 90%.
No, and stop lying about me I never told anyone there is an impeachment trial
1. If different admission standards according to race is not discrimination, then I really have nothing to say. Next is race-segregated schools, if we go down that slippery slope, and we end up in Alabama 1950. I guess progressives=KKK. 2. ??? I have 0 posts here about impeachment trials.
And if were lucky and have some semi-bright students reading those history books, they'll realize it's BS because those very same "racists" would have had to first elect that black man, twice.
Exactly. Yes CA produces the most food by VALUE. Although they will likely fuck that up with their water usage in the future beyond what's already happened. Next is Iowa and Nebraska. Those states barely have any people, but produce a ton for this country. They need 2 senators. They don't barely have any electoral votes either. Stop picking on the minority states Marcus.
The projection coming from the political Left is almost breathtaking. Have they been totally asleep the last 3 years? Do they think we have been asleep the last 3 years and can't immediately call out their massive hypocrisy?

What makes you think it's actually not a photoshopped picture? This is ABC news. You know what else ABC news does? It takes footage from a Kentucky shooting range and tries to pass it off as the Turks attacking the Kurds.
These aren't mistakes, when are people finally going to accept our "news" media for what it is? How many times are you told Trump is a racist, Russia hacked out elections, Gabbard is a Russian puppet, War is peace - before you realize it's just propaganda. Not just ABC, not just CBS, or Fox, or NY Times, or PBS, nor NPR - it is all propaganda. All of it. We do not have a functioning media.
You know who that little girl is? She's the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States at the time, and she's LYING. Do you think our media is so incompetent, that they couldn't identify her as a plant? Do you think nobody in the government knew who she was?
People are JUST getting there, they're STARTING to understand what level of propaganda they experience. Hey, we're all subjected to it, but if you want to be free from it, you have to recognize it as the problem it is. You have to know it exists. You can't trust anything, and I mean anything, from corporate media.

Sounds like something Hillary has done.
Yep! Just Becasue!

Trump is not violating the clause, but Clinton, Obama, and Pelosi have.

Left's memes are great reminder to America about exactly what left is for and what they are against.
Yup

A swastika carrying guy would have been chased out of a trump rally.
Meanwhile, the left embraces hammer and sickle flags.
Only one of these groups has moral values about political ideologies.

Hunter and Joe Biden's corruption is not a Conspiracy.
Biden is not a viable candidate. The Democrats don't a viable candidate except Tulsi and she has been rejected because she is not globohomo enough.
Whatever makes you think so?
