He’s may be all those things but he is still our President and ignoring your problems doesn’t make them go away. I suppose you could turn the tables and say Hitler, Stalin, etc silenced anyone who opposed them. Ignoring people I believe is just as bad. Both sides will always think they’re righteous even if they’re pure evil and you can always come up with an endless list of why not to like something. I think Trump is a dirt bag but I think it’s a bit disengenous to put him on the level of dictators, though I wouldn’t content he may be the biggest embarrassment in our history of presidents. Anyways, I believe through civil discourse at least there is a chance of influencing the decision making.
I think if you want to “boycott” Trump so to speak there are more appropriate opportunities to doing so (ie not attending his inauguration, protestong at his rallies
or in Washington, etc). But I think every opportunity for discussion is worth seizing.
For example, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi both somehow convinced Trump to accept the debt deal they proposed, much to the Republicans’ outrage. I think that was a bit of a surprise for everyone.
Refusing to negotiate or discuss is the worst possible thing for this country. The last thing we need is even more hyper-partisanship and a refusal for people to cross party lines. America is already divided enough as it is. Both sides of the isle will refute every plan or accomplishment of the opposing party, even if its good for the country, or they find the need to disqualify the success of the opposition or minimize the failures of the side they support. It’s ridiculous. As someone who cares about this country more than party lines, I simply don’t believe silent virtue signalling solves anything.
Unfettered? Was there no border patrol under Obama? Did everybody who knocked on the door got a Green Card handed to them?
Tim Cook knows how easily manipulated Trump is and is looking for a Deal. Like all other deals it'll be great and give Apple a massive break while having zero stipulations around what Apple needs to do in return. We've seen this dance before. Tim is a supply chain master for a reason and this WILL be bad for the US, short changing the money owed by Apple.
I'll be up front. I make $56K a year currently, with my personal tax exemptions set at 0 for federal and 0 for state (so, I pay maximum taxes per week). From the tax cuts, I'm taking home $30 more per week now, in my net pay. That's $1,560 over the course of a year, and is not "crumbs" despite what some politicians on the left say. That money is going towards refurnishing my home office, which I've been wanting to do forever.
It's simply not true that only the rich benefit. I'm not "rich" by any means, although I will admit that where I live, you can live comfortably with an individual gross income above $50K.
Something like this?
Federal Deficit
Definition
The amount by which a government's expenditures exceed its tax revenues. The difference is made up for by borrowing from the public through the issuance of debt. also called Federal Debt.
National Debt
The terms national deficit and national surplus usually refer to the federal government budget balance from year to year, not the cumulative amount of debt. A deficit year increases the debt as more money is spent than is received by the government; a surplus year decreases the debt as more money is received than spent.

You referred to the two concepts interchangeably in your prior post, which is wrong. I don't know where you got those definitions, but they are misleading. Debt is cumulative. The deficit is an annual measure.
Put your phone down. Get out of bed. Clear your head, and then do some basic internet searches. We could spoon feed it to you, but it's time for an intervention.
So what you are saying is that after 100 years of access denied to education, jobs and housing that 40 years later it should all be good?
The pathologies exist because the institutionalized racism in this country is not gone and people don't want to have an honest discussion about the higher rates of incarceration of people of color. A white kid caught with drugs gets a ride home and a black kid with the same drugs goes into the system.
White privilege is alive and well but people claim it doesn't exist.
It edited legally as Apartheid for 100 years in this country. It has continued through systematic abuses by banks with redlining. It has continued to exist in our justice system where everyone is not treated equally from arrest to trial to sentencing.
You neglect the fact that for 100 years families had tho opportunities to educate and build generational wealth.
The fact that for a large segment of the population that this is the first opportunity to attend college.
No everything is not now equal and to say that makes your argument ignorant at best (because you just don't know) or specious (because you hide behind a fallacy that everything is now okay because the law changed).
A few of my investments failed. Most have not. I'm still winning. So what if Trump has bankruptcies? He has many more successes. He held up a rainbow flag and said he was so happy to hear cheering at the RNC for his support of LGBTQ people. Time to leave your fake news echo chamber and MAGA.
Um...so a white supremacists staged protest had some people who weren't white supremacist.
How do you know that?
Either way, you have to admit that the ratio was like:
99% white supremacist
1% people you likes old statues
No amount of spin can change that.
[doublepost=1524777167][/doublepost]
Is this your job. Support the right no matter what?
How does this address trump referring to white supremacist as 'fine people'?
Even if there were a few non-racists there, as soon as they saw who they were associating with, they had a choice to either leave immediately or become complicit. No one who stuck around was innocent.
What are you defending? The 1% of white guys that really like old statues.
Just accept that you are in lock step with the racists. You just need to be yourself.
[doublepost=1524778005][/doublepost]
Wow..now your trying to pass off Hitler as liberal.
That makes absolutely no sense.
I’m a free thinker. That seems like a foreign concept to you.
It says more about you than Trump.
The only Fake News chamber has been run by the right (fox news) for years.
Just because your boy starts call everything news outlet that disagrees with him fake news doesn't make it true.
[doublepost=1524778630][/doublepost]
Free thinking is what your call your ramblings? Fine.
Throw some logic in your statements and then we can have a debate. IMHO, I'm guessing that will not happen.
[doublepost=1524778825][/doublepost]
So..your proof is anything you find on the internet?
Cool..that explains alot.
I actually laughed when I read this... Trump is a massive loser. The list of failures is long...

A few “investments?” Please, these are massive failures. He literally destroys everything he touches.
He inherited between $40 and $200 million from his father. He would have been richer today had he simply invested the money instead of attempting his “stable genius” at various business misadventures. He is a world-class moron with a third grader’s vocabulary. He attracts much the same level of intellect, as it has been demonstrated by the people who support him. Even his own professor from college described him as “the dumbest goddamn student he ever had.”
Some winner...
Which is irrelevant.

Good job spreading a lie. He did not inherit that much from his father.
You know what I love about Trump supporters? You guys come up with the wildest conspiracy theories and find the most ridiculous “evidence” of things happening on the internet, like the Clinton’s running a sex trade operations out of a DC pizza joint.
Yet, you fail at the very basic fact checking when the orange baboom’s ******** express rolls through town five times a day. He literally lies every 15 minutes and his inheritance is just another lie...

It’s generally accepted that he inherited between $40-200 million. All you need to do is google it and read. Either you are poorly informed or intentionally make up a lie to defend the idiot in the White House. Either way you’re wrong.
Liberals, like Hitler, love big govt, power over the people. Thats why they support legalizing drugs dumbing down the people, keeping minorities in poverty, high taxes, abortion, and taking our right to bear arms. Sound familiar? Learn your history

Your mind cant handle the evil the Clintons are involved in among others like their beloved Harvey Weinstein, Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, who's mother wrote a book about female mutilation Sharia Law and is a spokes person for the muslim brotherhood. Thats not even the beginning. Nice try but maybe read the facts and come back to reality.
Really, the only one? MSNBC has gotten to the point where all their "comedy" shows are straight up people arguing against Trump, and their articles are as fake and manipulative as Fox's, only better crafted (I think Fox hires 5th graders to write). Luckily, you can simply read both sources and get a good picture and coverage of facts, barring anything that American journalism as a whole avoids, e.g. negative things about Israel and positive things about Assad.
I'm also not going to support Fox's rhetoric about college education, which is far more severe than Trump's, but it's true that certain parts are very one-sided. Sociology and similar majors are 100% being force-fed political opinions; I've experienced it firsthand. But in general it's not so bad.

Looks like you're the one ignoring it. Im sure a lack of a father is why the two men got arrested at starbucks. Has to be!
Not irrelevant when the person I was responding to was complaining about how many people talk about how/why they dislike Trump. It's because more people hate trump in this country than love him. Have another statement to make that I can shoot down like this one?
