"Putin's a killer"

[Midas Whale67]

There's that reading comprehension problem again-I said fuck you.... Learn to read...

Now, now Bill. I've been reading and you need to clean up your writing skills. I've noticed several grammatical and punctuation errors. Naturally it's hard not to misread your offerings. They're so unpredictable and indecipherable at times.

I would suggest proof reading and editing to make yourself understood.

Lol, Bill. You're a caution!

I said experience in the areas they've been nominated. They might be great in their respective fields but this shouldn't be on-the-job training. What experience is Carson bringing to HUD? How is De Vos supportive of public school education?

first of all -experience or not - does that make them unqualified?.. DeVos showed actual inabilities to answer basic questions -that makes her unqualified IMO.

Carson had no such grotesque problems - he might not be an expert, but is he capable of management?

Then there is the CRAP like not even showing up for votes..what would you call that but gross obstructionism?

'All things considered' the cabinet is approved with deference to a POTUS's choices except where incompetence is shown

 

[Midas Whale67]

It is shocking, even for him, to say something so stupid & dissing the country, AS THE (so called) PRESIDENT!!!! Shame on the dirty trumpf..

jackson, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln etc rolling in their graves.............SHAME!!!!

Don't exaggerate. Those graves were disturbed when Obama took the reins.

If I were Trump i'd just STFU and go about my business improving relations with Russia.
Yes our CIA has killed hundreds - and it's not the same as Putin killing his own journalists -but the RUSSIAN HYSTERICS will see no nuance.

They just hate Putin and by golly improving relations goes against their zero sum view
( for every win by one side it must be a loss for the other) so improving relations with Russia
is ALWAYS BAD

Throw some more billions into eastern Europe! that will show him (Putin)!

You have putin's pubic hair in your teeth.

 

[Micawber]

we've had this conversation. I rightfully condemned Republican obstructionism..so did you.
So will you now condemn Democratic Obstructionism?

So if the refs in a game call 20 fouls on one team and none on the other, you would expect the other team to expect the ledger is zeroed out after the first beneficial call?

Sorry, we will let you and your alt right wing cronies know when it's time to play fair, in about 4 years.

How do you feel supporting an evil man at the top of an immoral political party? Must suck. I couldn't do that.

STOP with the public display of your sexual fantasies already!

You do that and when you can pass anything through Congress or the Senate we'll call you. That is if you're still alive by then.

Boy Howdy!

 

[Micawber]

Hey, bravs - Hillary lost. You can't scream "Cliiinnton" anymore.

Trump made what was probably the most anti-American statement a U.S. President has EVER made. Deal w/ it.

They will rationalize anything. All the bullshit neocon Reagan typepatriotism is now a personality cult. Whatever the fuck Trump says is ok. It's not about platforms policy results ethics reason competence process rules order content strategy... it's trump and that he is our guy. The huge problem is that this freak potus will use that license, that endless leash, to run this country off a cliff as often as accidentally do something good. It's a fucking shitshow.

Trump has said as much. Remember during his "Make America Great Again" campaign, he painted his grim picture of the formerly wonderful world that Obama ruined? And then Trump declared: "And only I can fix it."

“It will be repeal & replace. It will be essentially simultaneously. It will be various segments you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or the same week.” President Elect Trump at his only post election victory news conference in New York 17/01/11 / FNS

Comments I heard from Trump on hit this week, less than one month later, are that some of it may be phased in next year.
So Trump went from a week to a year in less than a month?

"Flip-flop" is inadequate to describe Trump. Perhaps "flip-flop-flip" may be a more accurate description.

Experience mattered a lot to conservatives when Obama was running. Even people here are still calling him "the community organizer" although he worked for a corporation, a research outfit, and as a lawyer, teacher and writer before he got into politics. So why doesn't it matter now if it mattered so much then?

trump picked Andy Puzder for Labor. The guy's a CEO whose goal is the profitability of his corporation, not the interests of the working stiffs. He's not supportive of minimum wage increases, he stiffed his employees on payroll, he paid employees with debit cards that carried ATM fees, and his company is being charged with stealing wages. And the icing on the cake... he employed an undocumented worker as housekeeper and didn't pay taxes for her.

trump picked Tom Price for HHS. Claims he's committed to ending Medicare fraud yet he belongs to an organization that opposes fraud investigations because they think honest doctors are targeted. He gets donations from a surgery center that colluded with anesthesiologists for kickbacks, an arrangement exposed by whistleblowers.

De Vos is just clueless and possibly plagiarized quotes for the Senate questionnaire.

trump nominated some pretty shaky people for these top jobs. Maybe that's the way they do business but it doesn't look good for those who are supposed to be in positions of public trust.

I have not problem with improving relations with any country. I guess what doesn't make sense is why, at the same time, anger our allies like Mexico and Australia, while at the same time praising Putin at the expense of the U.S. (by saying, publicly "we're not so innocent).

how does it feel to be ridiculously stupid? Did Obama get a honeymoon in 2008 -of course he did.
Look at the stimulus.

How quickly was his cabinet confirmed? much quicker.
The Dems are butt hurt sore losers,and your posts emulate that exact feeling to a T

it looks like the "anger"with Australia was way overblown. The background on that was Australia had already been using these refugees as a political football -they really were not wanted ( why Obama accepted them as a hot potato)
Mexico and the US will work it out,but there are problems to be solved,and there is going to be some hard feelings at times

I have to look at the particulars, but when you mention

belongs to an organization that opposes fraud investigations because they think honest doctors are targeted. He gets donations from a surgery center that colluded with anesthesiologists for kickbacks, an arrangement exposed by whistleblowers.

you have to cite so I can do some research. The housekeeper thing has been done to death, i don't know the particulars again but ha is no longer a cardinal sin by itself.

The thing is, Trump's administration is still in its infancy, and we're not going to know yet how his foreign relationships are going to affect us. His critics are perpetually crying about every little thing he says. In the interview with O'Reilly, I was reminded about what many in the media seek to get out of Trump... There always seems to be this baiting tactic to get Trump to say something bad about Putin or Russia and criticize him, almost for the sake of just seeing what kind of headlines they can later make out of it. I'm sick of the media trying to get our president to say something bad about another world leader who isn't a sworn enemy of the U.S. There's a lot our country doesn't like about Putin, but we can USE him to get something we want, and better position ourselves in the world, as long as we are always standing up for ourselves, and our own major self-interests first.

If, for example, Trump works in the same vain as FDR did with Stalin, and they collaborate on defeating a common enemy (ISIS), and weakening Iran, etc.... if we accomplish some of those goals, and if we are simultaneously strengthening our economy, then Trump can "puff up" more to Putin and seek concessions that would appease the main critics of Russia. But we have to wait and see. I think this is likely Trump's goal, and I'm not going to get worked up over every word. I didn't do that with Obama or any other president either. I wait and see the results before I go around claiming that our country's doomed.

"Did Obama get a honeymoon in 2008 -of course he did.
Look at the stimulus." a #52

Which one?
The Bush administration's ~$700 $Billion $TARP, never intended to restore our economy to Clinton level prosperity; but merely to keep the U.S. economy afloat until Bush / Cheney / Paulson could get out of town, 12:08PM January 20, 2009?
Or the one the permanent one that has actually healed our economy, slashed unemployment, left the U.S. far better off after 8 years than before it?

"How quickly was his cabinet confirmed? much quicker." a #52

How much more quickly did Obama's appointees complete their ethics questionnaires?

"The Dems are butt hurt sore losers" a #52

I'll concede that it is you not I that is the expert on "butt hurt".
However even if you're right, that's not the explanation here.

Obama not only won the election. He also won the vote. Therefore Obama had greater per capita popularity; thus greater support, among the electorate, and among the elected.
Obama's critics were from the opposing party.

Trump's critics are from both parties.
Trump is the guy the GOP nominated in 2016.
The following quotation is a comment from the guy that was the Republican presidential nominee 4 years earlier.

"Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. ... playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House. And all we get is a lousy hat." Mitt Romney

BTW I disagree with Governor Romney (R-MA). I rather like those hats.

"I think it's time for him [Donald Trump ("R"-NY) Republican 2016 presidential candidate] to look like a serious candidate for president." Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY)

The idiot claim is O'Reilly sounding like a brain dead leftist calling a nations leader a killer. Has there been any evidence of this other than conspiracies???

While I'm not a Putin fan, you don't go around claiming a nations leader is a killer based on hearsay. Its equally stupid to argue that we shouldn't pursue relations with Russia...a nation full of nukes, the largest military in the world and one still trying to throw off the yoke of Communism.

Trumps answer wasn't great; but O'Reilly's claim was moronic.

Yeah; war with Russia would be a GREAT option. After 8 years of the miserable failure of Obamunism, ANYTHING new would be better.

 

[Truth Detector]

While it could be argued there is a lot of truth in what the "so called" president said, IT IS FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS THAT A PRESIDENT OF THE USA WOULD SAY SOMETHING SO STUPID & INAPPROPRIATE............

.....because you say so. Nothing more amusing than leftist twits who want to give Muslims unfettered access to AmeriKa and Iran access to nukes, bitching and moaning about Russia and Putin.
