THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Okeefenokee]

This is what I have been trying to get at. You cannot reason with what has become of the left. This is not a principled or rational ideology at this point. It's more like a social cancer stemming from brain rot. Attempting to reason with them is like trying to reason with an insane person.

The ideal strategy is to expose them to the wider public whenever possible so that all of America can see their degenerate and insane behavior. These ones are already lost. Your fight is for the rest of the people.

I know what caused this reaction. Obama's flat out failure to follow through on almost all of his campaign promises. They thought Trump was gonna be the same.

Obama really tried. He just couldn't get it done. Even with a super majority, the ACA was all he could accomplish. Trump is a fraud, and doesn't really intend to do anything that he's saying. His supporters are all just dumb hicks and racists. Even if he intended to follow through, he doesn't have the super majority that Obama had, so can't get anything done anywa......wait, wait. What's happening?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Now they're recoiled in the corner wondering why their world is upside down, why Obama was such a failure, how his legacy could be wiped away in a matter of days, and most importantly, why is Trump actually doing what he said he'd do? That's what's got them on the edge of mental breakdown. Trump wasn't supposed to do any of the things he said he'd do, but now he is. Either they were wrong, or they're actually in a fairytale/ nightmare world where nothing is real. They've chosen to believe the latter.

Has it occurred to anyone yet that we've just lost our only public check on government power? If we don't even know what the hell is happening, then we might as well just wait for the mushroom clouds.

I can't take credit for this statement--I don't know where I picked it up (though I may have made it more betterer)--

The right thinks the left is wrong; the left believes the right is evil.

On another note, it seems that Trump just tried to get a billion dollar boondoggle funded by a foreign country, by threat of a tariff, and not allowing the Mexican president to visit. He appears to have failed miserably.

Anyone ready to pay 20% more for cars?

Stop quoting fake Trump tweets--every little bit helps.

Why would peeps be creating alternate Twitter accounts to tweet if Donald didn't take theirs down? Not logical.

My wife could get in trouble for posting something online, and it would have nothing to do with the president, directly. She could then create a secret account, and say the president was behind it all. Which wouldn't be true, and her commander could clarify that it wasn't true, but you'd still believe the fake news anyway.

Okee.... you are being obtuse with your supposed "confusion" about why half the country thinks this man is vile. It should also be remembered that in many people's minds, Trump was only marginally less vile than Clinton. He doesn't have a super majority with the American people. Far from it.

Seriously, enjoy your gloating and all.... but, pretending to be baffled on why he's so disliked makes you sound dumb. I know you're not dumb, so stop saying dumb things.

You really think I'm stupid? Wow.... okay. Thanks for letting me know, I guess.

I didn't. I made them up and posted them as a hypothetical example of how quickly this could go off the rails. I'm pretty sure that's not his twitter handle either.

The impression I get, is that Trump is going to pay for the wall with things like remitance taxes on outflows to Mexico, charging more for visas, binational lane toll crossings to enter the US, etc, hence, the Mexicans pay for the wall after the fact, with no tariffs required, it will all be through service charges over the border. Might take awhile, but over time, they will have paid for it.
