Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Leave this one alone. You're not right.

ROFLOL! ROFLOL!

ROFLOL! ROFLOL! ROFLOL! ROFLOL!

Lying Gary

Winds are only 6mph less than Cat 3 and have only slowed by 10mph from recent projections.

The real disaster is rarely from the wind anyway. Rather it is from the flooding from rain and storm surge. Florence will slow and dump feet of rain.

So, no, downgrading to a strong Cat 2 isn't really helping much.

This story from "the laboratories of democracy" is astonishing and perfectly illustrates just how anti-democratic the GOP has become.

Michigan citizens got enough support to put an initiative on the November ballot that would increase the state minimum wage to $12 and require paid sick leave, starting in 2019. It would have very likely passed had the voters had their say. To prevent this from happening, the Republican-controlled legislature took up the initiative and passed it themselves, so the proposal will no longer be on the ballot.

Here's the catch: citizen-approved laws require a 3/4 vote to be amended by legislature. The statute passed by Republicans can be amended with only a majority vote. They only passed the minimum wage increase to prevent voters from enacting something they couldn't overturn. They are planning to go back later this year and gut the law they just passed.

This is not clever gamesmanship, it is a corruption of democracy. You'd think the potential political ramifications from something this outrageous would make Michigan Republicans extremely nervous with elections just around the corner, but they have so thoroughly gerrymandered the state's legislative boundaries in their favor that they clearly don't feel there's anything to worry about.

Republicans are afraid of democracy because democracy is a threat to them. It's only gonna get worse.

I hate to politicize a natural disaster, but Trump has already done that with his idiotic comments about Puerto Rico. I believe that this hurricane might very well save the midterms for Trump.

I expect that the federal response will be very good this time. Despite the scandal of moving money away from FEMA and the Coast Guard, they will find new money and pour everything they can into disaster recovery.

Trump knows how to put on a reality show. It's right in his wheelhouse.

Expect Trump to empty the treasury coffers for this hurricane - - because red states are under attack by fake climate warming.

Also expect Trump to apply for disaster aid to repair his golf courses in the area. $100 million should be enough to make long-delayed upgrades on the backs of tax-payers. Never mind that only a tree or two fell down. The bigly mess from the leaves flying everywhere required full new landscaping and must be paid for by . . . someone. And the dirty windows must be replaced with newer windows because . . . he is creating jobs.

More "winning" by Trump, This time for his demand for border wall funding before the mid-terms.

Yeah, like Jennifer Granholm did to my state for HOW MANY YEARS?

You're a 1-sided lying liberal piece of dog cr@p! Corruption of Democracy? Did that make you feel smart?

You attempt to sound intelligent, but you always leave out the important parts. Sooooooo glad Hillary Clinton was defeated.

The response to this hurricane definitely has a chance to help Trump if he can manage not to f*ck it up, and I agree that it is right in his wheelhouse. Florence has been downgraded to category 2 already, so that's helpful.

Not sure what your definition of saving the midterms is, but I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that Republicans keep the House no matter how well this hurricane response goes. The Senate is still likely to stay in Republican control.

[sigh] Two days ago they said it might hit land as a 4. Storm surge is greater the more powerful the storm is. I didn't say it is without concern. The progressing down from a 4 (actually it was briefly a 5) to a 2 is helpful.

hey trumpers

not only is there no trumpy wall, and not only did Mexico not pay for that trumpy wall, but spanky is paying mexico to take back illegals.

That's your man. Overpromise, underdeliver, then lie about it.

Okay, precious, why don't you provide an example of Michigan Democrats employing a similar strategy to undermine a policy they disagreed with (as if this would somehow justify the Michigan GOP's actions) or other important information that I have left out of this story. It shouldn't be that hard considering, as you say, it was going on under Granholm FOR YEARS. Or are you a liar?

Don’t hold your breath for Rigged’s response

double sigh: I guess you don’t realize that the same forces that was caused a lessening in the strength of the winds is also slowing the storm down and has caused it to double in size

In terms of damage and loss of life, a fast moving Cat 4is not as dangerous as a slow moving high Cat 2. We are talking about storm surges during 3-4 high tides instead of one or, at the most, two. Dumping 3-4x as much rain in double the area.

You should stay in your lane. You don’t know what you are talking about.

I most certainly do know what I'm talking about. A stalled category 4 hurricane is much worse than a stalled category 2 hurricane, both in terms of wind damage but more importantly in terms of storm surge.

You are bringing up things I didn't not say or infer. I never said a fast moving storm of any strength was more dangerous than a slow moving Category 2 storm.

You have nothing to teach me, and it is clear you are not good at reading comprehension or debate.

That's "did not say".

I don't know who it was, but it was hilarious. I would never dare interrupt something like that.

I concede that I never know how conservatives think in terms of their nominating priorities and the guy uses that sentence as spark to reveal every screwed up thought process known to mankind.

I don't like complicated. Right now it's fairly basic: Trump lies an extraordinary percentage of the time, by every measure. And that has been true since the 2016 campaign. Yet Republicans/conservatives support the serial liar by 90% consensus. That's all you need to know about that side of the aisle.

Time to bust away from the yahoos and get this thread back on track...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

I posted about the Democrats chance to gain the senate with no response.

Here is Beto O'Rourke, who I think will beat Ted Cruz to gain a seat for the Democrats:

Yes, it IS easy. REALLY easy. And to say that it was going on under Granholm for YEARS is an UNDERSTATEMENT. A HUGE understatement. Happens all the time, snowflake. Get used to it!

MEGA!
