Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

They always say trump doesn’t like underlings who upstage him, so pence is perfect. I still don’t know what he looks like!

I'm pretty confident there is nothing that climate and economic experts could propose that would be approved by the current Senate or that would be signed by the president and I'm only a little less confident the House would actually pass a meaningful plan.

Among other things, it suggested we close all of our overseas military bases. I don't believe she thought that one through.

I'm not finding any mention of this in the text. Could you it out?

Racist belittling attempt of a great man who was MUCH more than that before entering national politics.

Before being elected a US Senator and then President, Obama:

* Was a Teacher at the Gamaliel Foundation

* Became a Lawyer (with a law degree from Harvard after getting his BA from Columbia [double major in political science with focus on International Relations and English)

* Was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years teaching Constitutional Law.

* Practiced as a Civil Rights attorney at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland

* Was an Illinois State Senator for nearly 8 years.

Properly educated. Proper experience.

Yeah, the Green New Deal may need a polish, but since all the intelligent people are aware of climate change, she’ll get the best re-write ever.

Trump is sticking it to the House and owning the libs!

Meh...he's not sticking it to anyone. This will likely all end up in court. His criminality will be discovered and laid bare for all to see.

Lame to call this a "do over" of course. The House has every right to and the responsibility of oversight.

As with all of his troubles, Trump has only himself to blame for all of this...he wasn't transparent. He refused to sit for an interview with Mueller. He obstructed justice 10 times as mentioned in the Mueller report. Mueller punted to Congress. Trump's hand-picked stooge Barr incorrectly characterized the Mueller Report for which he received a letter of rebuke from Mueller. Now he is obstructing even more.

The President and the Attorney General are not above the law.

It's all an act of delay and ultimate futility. He will not win in 2020, and he will be indicted very shortly after being out of office.

not sure what you mean by that, but depopulating Japan is probably what all the rich nations are looking at: emptying out countrysides, thriving central cities, solid companies, but little overall growth and giant debts to pay for it all.

but it's not a disaster for us, if Japan is the future. It's staying a rich, calm, peaceful place.

Of course Japan doesn't have a racial problem like the US and W Europe since Japan is racially homogenous. The uS and west europe are going to have convulsions as white people lose power and numbers. Spanky is purposefully stoking those flames, and he won't be the last.

So will it be Japan or South Africa, America?

Perhaps if we made it illegal to abort fetuses would help our birth rate.

The cow and airplane thing was a joke. If you read the actual FAQ then that is clear. But of course, Fox News ran with it as if eliminating airplanes and hamburgers was part of the GND.

Curious which climate mitigation proposal you do favor.

The Green New Deal doesn't mention the military at all. It does not propose closing any bases.

Japan bailed out their bankers in the early 90s & never recovered (so far). The relatively few young people are overburdened & there’s been a huge brain drain, in our favor, because immigrants are a huge bonus for USA.

In one breath, the WH says that the president cannot be indicted...and that the congress cannot investigate him for possible impeachment either.

It's absurd. Every judge in the country will shoot this down.

The problem is that it will take 18 months to shoot it down.

I'm not totally sure about that. Judges can fast-track things when they want to. It will be interesting to see how much time their stonewalling really buys them.

AOC commenting about farting cows and eliminating air travel damages her credibility.

This is where you need context.

She said those things sarcastically.

But you put it in print repeatedly and it takes on a different connotation.

Ignore the headline and comments and listen to what she says and how she says.

Basically, we can do better and we should try.

even after all appeals are lost, and that will take months and months and months, the WH will simply move extremely slowly, handing over 100 pages every once in a while to stay on the side of the law.

No way they comply with any sort of appropriate speed.

Just like Nixon, GOP will move quicker than anyone. Politicians need to win elections, and they can’t afford a “do-over” of 2018!

I just read the FAQ again and it does not come across as if they were joking. Is it common to include jokes that can easily be manipulated to make you look bad? They also talked about helping people that don't want to work. If you're going to make such a historic proposal as the GND, it needs to be as bulletproof as possible.

It's interesting where she lists presidential candidates that endorsed the GND. I looked up their comments and they all say they support "a" GND rather than "the" GND. That allows them to make their up their own version to campaign with.

Can never have too many investigations because we want the TRUTH, gosh darn it!

Right! After all, we've had EIGHT Benghazi investigations, and because none of them found HRC culpable, some GOPers still want more--until they get the result they want!

. . . because a particular result and *not* "the TRUTH" is what they're really after. Both sides play that game.

#Clowncountry, indeed.

If we think votes, fossil fuel doesn’t put food on the table like before. Sectors that were small during its heyday, like high-tech or even healthcare to some extent, have more jobs now. Voters have more to gain with a new direction.

You're arguing with a fanatic. Note that the only two disputes have been towards her work history and a deflection on a particular comment as merely a joke and nothing towards the intractability of the bill.

Everyone who isn't stupid knows climate change is an issue that needs to be solved soon but this grandiose proposal is basically the progressive version of "Build A Wall" and "Ban All Muslims". It contains no nuance or demonstration of real world problem solving and solutions.

The GND is like you said : an essay that an eager college freshman would write.

Eliminating airplanes and hamburgers are Republican scare tactics for dumb people.

This about reviewing the sources of carbon emissions and then working towards solutions.

Alabama just made pregnancy by incest and rape legal. Not that pregnancy that way was uncommon in that state.
