The Thread of Democrats

[Forty Two]

the economy is a hollow shell, waiting for the slightest shock to be crushed... he's digging the depth hole like even bush junior never dared... where are the jobs he promised in the rust and coal belts?... industry is delocalizing thelke the foreign job pools were infinite. and the stock exchang is bubbling so hard it could be 1929 or 2008.

As for diplomacy, the plus of NK is counterbalanced by the fact he's busy alienating every ally the US ever had, except maybe Turkey.

It's no more of a hollow shell than it was in January 2017. Comparatively, it's doing great.

I wish the debt wasn't going up, but Congress is to blame for that. They won't curb spending. It's not Trump. He can't get anything passed without the excessive spending.

He's not alienating allies. He's holding them to account. And, much of what he pushed for was understood by everyone to be necessary. Others didn't have the balls to do it. Like the NATO shake-up and demands that countries pay their fair share. Allies or no allies, even under Obama the chatter was very open about the allies not paying their fair share.

Holding the allies to account? balderdash! go tell the Kurds that. if it weren't for his mistimed pulling out, they'd never even think of negociating with Iran, except to demand the Iranian Kurdistant be given autonomy and attached to its Iraqian counterpart... tell the Baltic states that, they simply are too small to afford the kind of shield they need to be protected from Russian expansionistic tendencies... heck even a largish country like France cannot even afford to have two aircraft carrier ships. let's not forget that NAFTA was never respected by the US, leading to long standing disputes with Canada and Mexico, but he just tore that up, period.

NO, just no, he's reneging on treaties like they were worthless and alienating long time allies... maybe I should imitate a friend of mine and learn Russian.

Yabbut but Barry was brownish and Trump is orange. In this case, orange ain't the new black.

the only orange he should be wearing is a coverall.

Democrat calls out Motherfucker:
Freshman U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib wasted no time in calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump just hours after being sworn in.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters Thursday night, the Michigan Democrat and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress said of Trump: "People love you and you win. And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won. Bullies don't win.' And I said, 'Baby, they don't, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.'”
Fox

I wonder if she swore on a bible, quran or some other bullshit book.

Telling her son 'we're gonna impeach the motherfucker' is awesome! It reminds me of an athlete-hero I have been following.

David Proctor got ready to attempt a world record last summer - running across Canada in 66 days. He was trying to beat the record held by Al Howie.

Proctor did it while raising money for a rare disease foundation. A worthy cause on its own, but more so because his young son has difficulties with rare disease.

Proctor told his son, in front of the world, that he was going to do this.

Then, halfway through a breathtakingly good effort, he failed in Winnipeg (right around the middle)

Failing that hard, in front of your own child, is to me a kind of courage that is seldom seen. I'm inspired by his failure, because I know without a doubt that he was shooting for something hard, and the fact that he promised his own son tells me he was serious.

This lady sounds serious, too. If she fails to impeach Trump, it won't be quite as inspiring as a failure, but it will make for a good story later in her life.

For what?

Conspiracy to throw the election with Russian hacked info.

Conspiracy to throw the election with Russian hacked info.

With all those smart folks investigating that for the last few years, don't you think something would have been done if there was evidence?

Give me a fucking break. If Trump suggested we increase our presence in Syria to help the Kurds you'd be calling him a warmonger. Now you're all hot on US involvement in the middle east? To help the fucking Kurds? Look, the Kurds were a big part of why Christopher Hitchens was such a big supporter of involvement in Iraq - to help the Kurdish independence movement, because they're mostly in Iraq, not mostly in Syria.

tell the Baltic states that, they simply are too small to afford the kind of shield they need to be protected from Russian expansionistic tendencies... heck even a largish country like France cannot even afford to have two aircraft carrier ships. let's not forget that NAFTA was never respected by the US, leading to long standing disputes with Canada and Mexico, but he just tore that up, period.

Just more nonsense. France is part of the European Union with 500 million citizens. And, some of you bleat on about how much better your system and countries are than the US is. So, fucking handle your own shit.

NO, just no, he's reneging on treaties like they were worthless and alienating long time allies... maybe I should imitate a friend of mine and learn Russian.

He hasn't "reneged" on any treaties. Countries ratify and withdraw from treaties all the time. And, if France is too poor to have two aircraft carriers, then what the fuck good are they in their help with China and Russia. We can't do it alone. That's the point.

This isn't new - NATO countries were not paying their fair share. Article from 2016 https://money.cnn.com/2016/07/08/news/n ... countries/

Here is Feb, 2017 (Trump was in office less than a month) https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-sh ... try-2017-2

Here, President Obama agreed, urging you sloths to pull your weight - https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/ ... are-231405

So, for years Europe was getting notified about this issue, and they did something between jack and squat about it. If finally putting his foot down is now going to be termed "alienating your allies" then fuck the hell off. They'd been alienating us for years over years by just agreeing to a benchmarks and then just fucking ignoring them.

Conspiracy to throw the election with Russian hacked info.

What information? Conspiracy between whom?

[Cunt]

Yes, but if you are a socialist, then it follows that the US (because of their wealth and success) should be paying for everything...morally. At least 'morally' in terms of a socialist set of morals.

Godless atheistic commie lesbian congresslady!

Kyrsten Sinema swears in to Congress using law book instead of religious book
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4238 ... d-of-bible

Sinema is the only member of Congress who openly identifies as religiously unaffiliated, according to the Pew Research Center for Religion and Public Life.

But The Arizona Republic points out that Sinema’s move to forgo using a religious book to take her ceremonial oath, as most members of Congress typically do, may only fuel ongoing speculation that she is an atheist.

Her atheism is one of the few good things about her philosophy.

If you don't like her, she must be fuckin' marvelous.

You make some of the most sensible decisions, Seabass.

Have you checked out Milo Yiannopolous? I think you would like him.
