Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Right.

The standoff over the wall isn't for $5B.

It's a $5B initial payment that will be wasted if they don't spend the multiples of that down the road to complete it.

Trumpers are laughing at you old man! You lost, they won! With HRC in control, things would have been way worse. Grow a pair tiny Trollminator.

Triggered much...

So amusing - yet sad - that suddenly Republicans are big fans of eminent domain.

Yes, yes conservatives - just lie back and think of Trump. It'll get better.

Yeah, Trump’s shut down is a bigly overreach on his part. If he does the emergency thing and tries to invoke eminent domain I think his presidency might be done.

Here is a good post from the GoFundMe thread....

820 miles of the nearly 2,000-mile US-Mexico border -- 41% -- is represented by a Republican, Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, who opposes a wall and was just reelected in a tough race in which he emphasized that position.

This emergency / eminent domain route will be bigly unpopular in the Southern Border states—including Texas and among Texan Republicans. If he pushes this and actually does and Beto is on the dem ticket (either as candidate for POTUS or VP) I think there is a chance Trump would lose Texas in 2020.

Given the impact the tariffs are having on farms / farmers (who are majority Republican) I think it will become really difficult for him to win re-election in 2020.

He should stop his shut down now, cut some sort of deal and hope the damage to this point wasn’t too bad.

Imagine having to lie for a living.

It's just sad. I mean that sincerely.

This is an area where I have agreed with conservatives. One of the worst supreme court decisions in modern history was Kelo v. City of New London. It said that the government can steal your house and give it to a developer as long as they promise it will create a larger tax base. Before, the government could only take your land if it was going to be used for a public purpose. Now, they can take it for virtually any reason they want to dream up.

Interestingly, Neil Gorsuch vehemently opposed this decision and its codification of eminent domain abuse. But Tiny praised the decision saying, "I happen to agree with it 100%".

Strategy & politics are gone, he’s hoping bullying will keep working. Bye, don!

Shutdown = noun Example: Trump's shutdown

Shut down = verb Example: Trump chose to shut down the government

Conservatives have lost their way. No longer can they claim to be the fiscally-responsible party. No longer can they hold up Reagan as the shining light of the Republican Party, because HE encouraged immigration, and he knew it made our country stronger. No longer can they say with a straight face that they aren't actually racist. No longer can they claim to be the Rule of Law Party. They can't even claim to be the most righteous with the extremely sinful Trump as their champion. Trump has destroyed anything good that the conservatives ever had any claim to at all.

Now, while the above paragraph is 100% true, I actually don't care about that other than to say it's actually too bad. We do better when we have two strong parties in this country. BOTH parties need checks and balances, and come 2020 we will be all Democrat. I will be glad about that initially, but eventually the pendulum needs to swing back at least a little bit.

What I DO care about though is that we have a criminal serial lying President in the White House, and he needs to be removed as soon as possible by any LEGAL means necessary.

Fortunately...

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

INCORRECT!

Now, if you had instead used "GOP" in your post rather than "conservatives" you would have been CORRECT!

It should have taken a good-intentioned Sarah at most 1 month on the job to confirm her worst fears about Trump. Anyone with a ounce of dignity would turn the other way and sprint, yet there she remains, lying for him day after day.

The only explanations I can come up with is she is either a fvcking idiot, she is very unethical, or she has some perma dirt and this was absolutely the only big job she could have ever had.. or a combo of these. Hard to understand really.

Not really.

Trump exists. Why is it so hard to understand that Trump fan-boys and fan-girls exist.

She doesn't HAVE to lie for a living. She has to lie for THIS JOB that she has, but she is choosing to keep it and thus choosing to lie. This is where integrity is found, and she obviously has zero of that.

Hey all,

Count Chocula here. You might remember me from about a year ago when I used to attempt to make moderate, rational political posts in this thread. Then one day someone reported me and I received a temporary ban. After that, I stopped visiting and moved on with my life. Not sure why, but today I thought, " I wonder if that Letsrun thread about Trump is still going on?" So I checked and , my goodness, nothing has changed. The same people are posting the same things all these months later. The only thing that changes is the story in the news.

So I logged in to say, do yourself a favor and go read a book or something. Unless this thread is a real outlet for you, you are getting nothing out of the constant posting and arguing. Anyway, this is my (real) last post, so I wish you all a good day.

Just to show how weak the GOP is - they have been led by Trump to hate the NFL, distrust the FBI and support eminent domain. These are 180 degree reversals from what they believed 10 years ago.

We shouldn't wonder how countries turn to authoritarianism/totalitarianism. This is how it happens. A charismatic leader leads his people down the drain, to lose their common sense, under the promise of 'getting things done.' It's happened in country after country, and now it's our turn.

So let's be honest. When Trump says he's asking for $5B in wall money before he signs funding to reopen the government he is really asking for at least $50B of taxpayer money.

You say fine. Does that mean you don't care about his promise that Mexico will pay for it or that you actually think the new (yet to be passed) trade agreement will actually produce that much more net money from Mexico?

This thread is an archive of the events and discussion about the events since Trump's inauguration to date.

People are not posting the same things all these months later.

No one was talking about this shutdown months ago.

No one talked about the Kavanaugh appointment before it happened.

No one talked about the immigrant children being taken from their families before it happened.

No one talked about the sentencing of Cohen, the plea deal of Flynn and conviction of Manafort until that all happened.

And you know we will talk about the impeachment hearings here.
