Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

In a hilarious shift of messaging from the MSM, they're now pushing the narrative that Trump's war on the media is putting journalists in danger.

This, coming from the very folks that have fostered a cultural resistance movement that has celebrities and mainstream culture warriors regularly contemplating / imagining the assassination of the POTUS.

Again, another day, another almost unbelievably stupid attempt from the Left to take Trump down. Every single day is awesome now.

interesting little fact -

As we know, there are really two investigations:

Russian influence on the election

Whether there was collusion between Russia nd the Trump campaign.

Apparently Trump doesn't have the mental capacity to understand this. So our commander in chief is refusing to make any decisions or work in any way to prevent Russia from doing the same thing again.

He thinks any admission that Russia was playing games with us takes away from his legitimacy.

Well he's probably right, but that's what we are dealing with here - a man utterly incapable of putting the nation's interest before his own.

great job, trumpers.

The election is over. time to move on.........all of you, on both sides. Seems to me that there's a lot of folks with way too much free time on their hands. Time to get a life. Go out for a run perhaps, its great for rampant anxiety, hand wringing and overall mental health.

In 1974 (a year and a half after the election), when Nixon was facing impeachment and about to resign for what was going on during the election, you could have said "The election is over. time to move on".

no, sorry, I'm going to continue to fight for my country and my democracy. You can choose to tolerate a hostile nation interfering in our elections - don't worry, patriots like me and Mueller will do the work for you.

Sit easy.

You just KNOW that "racism!" has got to be on deck soon. It's their go-to narrative when nothing else is working. Man they're losing control of their messages lately.

Actually, stopping the next Russian cyber-attack is more in Trump's interest than Democrat's interest. Trump and the Republicans are the ones in power. They have more to lose.

I don't see it that way - remember the Russians wanted the Republicans to win. They want the chaos and incompetence that the Republican party brings to the nation. Bush2, Trump...the last two Republicans have actively weakened the nation and caused great stress and divisions among the western democracies.

The dems are the party of stability and cohesion - think of the peace and international teamwork during the Obama and Clinton admins.

So really it is in the interest of the Repubs to sweep concerns about Russian influence under the carpet - because Russia will continue to try to help them, not the Dems. Russia is like having a strong, unethical XC teammate - a guy willing to spike the other team, or push an opposing runner into a tree.

"Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling," Geffen said.

I'm confused. If EVERYBODY in politics lies, and Hillary was certainly one, why all the faith in the Dear Leader and his wacky band of fascists?

Help me understand. Despite 20-something years of middle class destruction, 8 of which under Bush and now somehow, the Liar in Chief wants more of the same and throw in some failed Reaganomics. I mean, look at how great those policies turned out...

Explain to me how it gets better. Because I don't see it.

I can answer for the republicans

If we lower taxes on rich people and companies

If we deregulate and let enviro regs slide

If the gov't shrinks in relation to the private sector

If we stop illegals coming in

then the economy will flourish from new jobs and new companies. Which will help everyone in the economy.

Not all of that is wrong - we do need to deregulate and we do need a wiser tax code.

(as an aside, I disagree that things are so bad in the US - most of these 'wages froze in the 1970s' stats are absurd and very very misleading. Standards of living in the US have risen sharply)

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!, you're an unstable person who has lost the meaning of your life's purpose. Your "fight for my country" attitude is going to get you no where fast. Russia DID NOT interfere with our election, even your boy Flagpole admitted that much BUT claimed that they had placed influential ads (that was funny as I never saw one ad placed by the Russians).Your democracy? That is even funnier yet.In 4 years from now, what will be worse than it is today? A lower deductible on your healthcare program? Far less bad people in our country? More jobs? Safer while flying?Lower gas prices?Etc...The poster above was right, go for a run, you need it for your mental health as you are losing it. Patriots like you and Mueller (that's funny as well) will do nothing to change anything at all, zero. Guaranteed, he'll still be President for 4 full years. Do something stupid with your overzealous attitude and you'll find yourself in prison. Nothing would surprise me, you've mentally gone over the edge and I wouldn't be surprised if big brother is watching you and has your location, you're waaaaaaay off the deep end dude!When Obama was voted in as Puppet President, while lying repeatedly to get elected, I moved on and lived my life. I dealt with it for 8 years and was fine, setting running pr's among other positive things. I suggest you do the same fella.

dudes like this have no idea that virtually every one of these things describes the Obama administration. But these concrete cowboys can't accept anything good under a democratic admin. ok man. it's shirts vs skins. You against the democrats. got it. You have absorbed the lessons of Shawn and Rush and Bill and Alex very very well.

No, it doesn't. Obama lied and made it worse. Look up what he actually said he'd do and what he actually did. Honestly, I think you're just "out there" when it comes to reality.

Serious question, are you on drugs?

Obama said that the new healthcare law didn't give any greater access to healthcare to illegal immigrants than before.

Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!"

Show me how that was a lie.

You need to be in the system to get any benefits and illegal immigrants do not have valid SS numbers. They mostly work on cash and pay cash for nay healthcare they receive.

Some have fake papers but that is a separate issue of proper documentation vs anything the new healthcare law provided.

Republicans get really upset when a child of an low paid (below minimum wage) undocumented worker gets stitches in an American hospital. Really they should bleed to death, I guess.

what is "it" in your sentence? I don't know what you are referring to.

No, I'm not on drugs.

You say we need a wiser tax code but that is very very hard to do.

I had a conversation with an older relative about this. He's a semi-retired business owner.

I told him that they can make a simple tax form where he would pay the same amount of taxes but one of two things would happen:

1) That form would create higher taxes for a number of other people that would be extremely pissed about it.

2) If it was made so that taxes would only go down or stay the same for everyone, you obviously wouldn't generate enough tax revenue to fund federal expenses like the military

Every single simple tax code that you could possibly write would create one of those two scenarios.

The original sin of lobbyists getting special interest tax breaks for their cause and that getting done over and over caused the complicated situation we have today.

Undoing all of that is politically impossible.

Start with the mortgage interest deduction. Remove that and home values fall across the country, And they have't fully come back yet from the 2008 collapse.

Every Republican candidate said they'd create a tax code you could write on a post card.

Can't happen.

Do we even know how many special interest loopholes Trump has used in his life?

He'd and his family get crushed by tax reform.

sure it's difficult, and the congress has shown zero ability to get big things done.

but we're starting to see some pleas to find some level of bipartisanship. Both Trump and McConnell have been floating trial balloons about working with the Dems on healthcare.

as for trump...look, give him a small break on his estate tax and he'll go along with changes elsewhere.

Sure it's not easy - but our tax system is awful and everyone knows it. There is bipartisan interest in reforming it.

a) not true that housing prices are still below 2008 levels.

b) it's not clear what ridding us of the mortgage interest deduiction would do. These tweaks tend to have less impact than we think. People still need to live somewhere. And it helps rich people most anyway.

A significant portion of liberals I know have either been prescribed SSRIs or have upped their dosage because of feelings pertaining to Trump's presidency. It's very sad that the media has infiltrated their brains the way it has. It' even sadder that many of these same liberals now defend the very entity that ruined them, even as that msm is fully exposed before their eyes. Regardless, it appears I was right as usual. The Russia Hoax was perpetuated in an attempt to take down Trump. The msm created a hatred for Donald Trump before the election, then created a schizophrenic Russia 'excuse' for continuing to hate him after. This way, all the aggrieved Clinton voters losing their minds could turn to CNN/MSNBC/NBC/ABC and other leftist sources for solace.

Many liberals, now faced with the truth that they've been lied to, nonetheless continue to support and cite the msm as proof that they're correct. It's like some sort of twisted stockholm syndrome. Meanwhile, this detachment from real American sentiments leads to further and further destruction of the Democrat party. There is no real messaging, no real core tenets. As liberals everywhere, unable to mentally and emotionally handle this shattered paradigm, project onto their conservative counterparts.

Truth is, the libs and Dems will continue to lose elections, voters and supporters with their attitude. Why? Because they're losers. Sore losers. Insane losers... and in all my life, I can honestly say I've never quite seen losers like this...

how about when, to deal with their loss, 3/4 of republicans resorted to believing Obama was born in Kenya? How does that rank?

Here's Lindsay graham today, pushing back against our peabrain in chief. Someone was saying graham was on the trump train. Ah no.

"Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America," Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican, tweeted.

Young man or Old man, you need help. Obama was a complete liar and locked out the Republicans, even bragged about it. The right does anything even remotely close, and bam!, they're liars! You can't have it both ways. Obama rarely compromised on anything and threatened vetos constantly. Were you awake the last 8 years?

As someone mentioned above, what are you on?

For housing, 2008 was the collapse, but 2006 was the peak.

Values went down dramatically every month in 2008, but the slow decent started in 2006.

There are many people that bought a house in 2006 (some interest only loans) that cannot sell it for the same price today.

.............

I'm not saying that it is not easy to reform the tax code. I am saying it is politically impossible. Even if there is bipartisan interest in doing it.

Look at all of the pain they went through when it was altered under Obama.

They made most of the temporary Bush cuts permanent.

They kept the marginal rates the same for every single bracket except for the very top one which they bumped up one or two points.

Very simple change. Very very hard to get done. Remember the fiscal cliff?

Everyone wants a change.

If every senator wrote a new code, you would get 100 different versions.

And no one would vote for anyone else's version. Surely 50 senators would not agree on one.

MAJOR TAX REFORM CANNOT BE DONE.

Bump this post when they change all of the tax brackets and get rid of all of the deductions. Or even a handful of deductions.

Look how they are quibbling over healthcare that only affects people without employer coverage, which is the minority of the country.

A major tax change will affect every single person in the country.
