Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Yep. This is all as it was designed. Mueller has pawned off stuff that isn't "core" to his investigation, though technically Rosenstein gave him pretty broad powers of investigation. While Mueller's scope was pretty much unlimited, he doesn't have unlimited resources, so those other offices/agencies were necessary.

The biggest mistake Trump ever made was running for President. Had he not, we likely would either never found out what a criminal he was, or we would have found out after he was dead.

Tiffany Trump turns out the be the smartest of them all.

Jamin needs to get some drinks in him and make a couple dozen posts under different names to even this out.

Very true. Jamin takes yuge advantage of his employer, Microsoft, by goofing off and posting while he is being paid by them. Hardloper is guilty of the same game of taking advantage.

To be fair, I do not recall anyone calling you a spiral staircase.

Well, the victory lap (The I Told You So that I will level) is just to provide justice to those who have called me everything under the sun just for making a prediction. Like a parent punishing a child, I won't enjoy doing this, but it is deserved, and I am all about teaching moments whenever possible. This is not a game to me at all. It is very serious, which is why I follow it so closely. Like I have said several times, I will level the I Told You So, and it will be just one time (unless I am challenged on it), and I will not even mention names, because I am righteous yet kind.

To be fair, I do not recall anyone calling you a spiral staircase.

Technically, you are correct and I was wrong, and for that I apologize unreservedly.

No that’s not fair. Most people, on either side, simply don’t pay attention to the news/politics. They are also going to vote for the party regardless of the candidate.

We live in a very tribal society.

I was asked yesterday how I can be in the military and not be for the Republican Party.

Alan

You make fair points.

Just out of curiosity, I am surprised by your comment about being "not for the Republican Party". I somehow had the impression that you leaned Republican but at the same time you saw the obvious, that Trump does not represent Republican values (or American values for that matter). Would you mind clarifying your general political leanings? Again, just curiosity.

First off I’m all for higher taxes and completely against the deficit spending nonsense we’ve had going since Reagan. At some point you can’t just spend your way out of a hole. What’s that point? 100 trillion? Who knows. Sooner or later the government needs to increase revenue more than it reduces spending.

I’m for a big robust military. I’m for bases everywhere. We carry the big stick, we’re the big dog. It’s all about readiness, something most fail to grasp.

I’m for a national healthcare system. I believe healthcare is a right.

I don’t think a women should be able to get an abortion just because they want to. I think it should be an option available due to medical concerns, genetic defect, rape and incest and at any point from conception to birth.

Increase the retirement age for those medically able to work to 70. Remove FICA wage cap.

Anyone can marry anyone. Gay marriage bans are ignorant and cruel. This is not a Christian nation. It is a nation who just happens to be predominantly Christian.

I’m all for Transgender rights, to include military service. The catch is that there needs to be a psychologically and medically determined need. The military has this right if you look into their proposed policy. In order to compete in athletics and serve the military as a sex opposite your biology you MUST have COMPLETED the reassignment process as far as the hormone regiment goes. As far as using male/female bathroom you must have completely the surgical procedure.

Have all the guns you want, ARs, high capacity mags, etc....but it needs to be highly regulated, you will need to be registered into a national database, you will need skills training annually, and psychological testing, and you will have to WAIT. How long? I’ll have to look up current wait period, but at least twice.

I’m very much for social programs, but their needs to be a work requirement or unemployment benefits, or school, or something to say you are trying to better your position.

What else? I’m sure I’ve pissed off both sides by now lol.

In the Hollywood version of this Tiffany gets everything while all her evil parents and siblings go to jail.

Oh I’m also pro green energy. There are jobs there, both high and low skilled. I want to see a 100% switch to the electric car.

I don’t care about low skilled manufacturing jobs. They are gone. Are not coming back. Companies should shift those down south and overseas. The result is lower cost of goods.

I’m for a national rail system.

Infrastructure needs replaced....roads, bridges, etc....probably through tolls as government spending can’t pay for it all.

good stuff

Seriously? You really think universities and those in Hollywood are conservative? Come one.

I don't think, I know.

Stop watching Faux News.

Sorry. You do not make the rules.

You must be 100% correct on everything in that post to claim a victory lap. Anything less and you a wrong.

That's how it is.

True, but what would be even COOLER is if in the final scene, it is uncovered that SHE actually was the mob boss the whole time, and the rest of the Trump family was following HER orders. They go to jail because of her, but SHE still ends up with everything.

Good movie plot, but in real life, I was guilty people to pay for their crimes.

Nah. I reject that. I will be specific about where I was wrong and right. I won't leave out the wrong stuff. I have no insecurities that won't allow me to admit the wrong stuff.

There are two sides here -- 1) The whole investigation is a hoax against 2) It isn't a hoax. I am in the "It isn't a hoax" camp, and I will say I Told You So to the many who say otherwise. I will then be VERY specific about what I was right about and what I was not right about, and what I am right about will far outpace what I will be wrong about.

The I Told You So is coming.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Once you start listing exceptions there can be amendments to add to those exceptions.

What about a woman who is homeless and addicted to drugs?

Maybe that falls into medical concerns but she can have a baby that does well.

Even though I disagree with the view, I kind of respect those that say no abortions at all. That's a life.

What's rape anyway? Even a husband can rape his wife. Or a boyfriend can push farther than the girl wanted.

There are many rape babies in the world that live fine lives.

I think women don't want the government dominated by men writing these guidelines.

You see this is why I could never run for office in the current climate lol. Unless it was local/House.

I think Beto may run into the local guy politics issue. We will see. A local race or even a House race is molded by the local intangibles. Hence why I think you see Beto 75%+ more conservative than his democratic peers. He’s in TX and near a military installation.

Alan

this flagpole guy, i noted before the election, had predictions, which i asked to bet on. declined.

like if trump would win the nomination, then the election.

since he's batted 0.000, there is no prosecution of trump, there is no russian collusion, nothing, what so ever

that;s made it through court. zilch.

yet this flagpole believes he's batting up there with babe ruth, in political commentary accuracy.

mueller, a criminal like hillary and trump, like cohen, is suppose to chime in and prove flagpole right, and

get him in his hall of fame, legend in his own mind, stratosphere.

so very strange.

Guns might be another - can you be a supporter of strong gun control and be in the GOP?

Can you be pro-choice and be in the GOP?

Ummm... how about Charlie Baker, Larry Hogan and Phil Scott?

What do you mean “what’s rape anyway?”. I’m not forcing someone to get an abortion. It’s all about options. If you were raped, by a husband, by a boyfriend, etc, then you should have the option. The hard part is proving you were raped. So that would get problematic. Could you convict someone of rape within 9mo? I would hope so.

Homeless, addicted to drugs and pregnant? Sorry about your luck. Don’t get addicted to drugs. Have the baby, give it up to the state.

I will say my abortion opinion is problematic. Thankfully anyone can have an opinion and not be right or wrong.

The biggest mistakes are your continued incorrect predictions concerning Trump's political demise. Still no collusion, still no obstruction, still no impeachment vote, still no indictment(s) and there will NEVER be a prison term. The biggest "I told you so" in LR history will be coming from me. Brace yourself, for I will not be kind-unfortunately, it will only worsen your insecurity and that means that you will become even more shrill and ponderous than ever before.

I was wrong about the Mueller report being released this week; however, this is just a delay of the inevitable Flagpolian Flops heading your way. The Flagtanic is doomed-it is definitely coming.

Trump will win re-election & will serve a full second term. It is almost Epic Flagpole time, which means we need his monthly commentary.

Mueller never

-pole forever

Your opinion is valued.

Out of curiosity is your abortion view religious based or just your own values?

I like the idea of having abortions be completely optional and not attached to conditions, but only early on in the pregnancy while there is no way the fetus would survive outside the woumb. I think it’s a reasonable option because if the pregnancy was really forced (eg rape) then you don’t need to further prove you were wronged to get it. It also gives women under other circumstances considerable time to make a life changing decision. The premise here is that it takes two to produce a baby and the harsh reality for all women is that they will carry the baby and have to invest more time and energy, not the fathers. Furthermore, often two idiot unprepared teenagers make a mistake and want to take it back, why force them and society to pay for that mistake?

Having to decide on abortion early on I find is a compromise. I don’t agree a fetus should have rights in general, but the fact is it will be viable at some point before expected delivery so this is a compromise for those more religious and conservative on this topic. At the end of the day, if a woman really wants to she can find other very dangerous ways to abort or otherwise degrade the life of the fetus (smoking, drinking other drugs) and we surely aren’t going to create laws against all that. Society and the earth in general really do not need extra unnecessary births to burden everyone even more. Sure we can all debate how these future children might turn out ok, but let’s face it the prospects aren’t good for most coming into the world already very disadvantaged.

I’ve changed my mind on this topic over the years after a close friend had an abortion.

Thanks again for your opinion, and of course your service.
