Trump doesn't care if GOP congressmen lose their spots in 2018.
Agree. Trump has proven it's about Trump.
Yep.
And then he will find out that it's really difficult to be a President when the opposition has a majority in both houses.
Who could have known?
You don't understand. Trump's opposition has a majority no matter which party is in control.
After seeing how the GOP is handling things now that they are in power, I'm even more confident that what this country needed was a Trump and not a Hillary as POTUS. Both of these parties need to be disassembled somehow.

These people are so easy to expose.
In one breath they say that no one should own anything. Shortly after the guy is in the cameraman's face telling him to get out of "my city". If you are so against ownership, why are you using terms that imply you own something?
This video led me to another where anti-Trump protesters are marching through a pro-Trump rally. As they repeat "no hate, no fear, everyone has a right to be here, blah blah" they hold signs reading 'F-Trump and Pence". They also get in the face of others, screaming at them. WTF happened to no hate and everyone is welcome here?
Nothing more than a bunch of cry-bully hypocrites.

They all paraded around for years claiming that if they got control of congress and the WH they would then be able to fix things like Obamacare. The voters gave them majorities in both the House and Senate, and gave them the WH. Now they break into all these insolent factions that all want things exactly their way. What a bunch of children.
I lean conservative, but if this is what we are going to get for the next 2 years, I won't shed a tear for any of them who get tossed out in 2018. I also won't care if the Dems gain control of either the House or Senate. What a bunch of fools.
The voters gave them what they said they needed in order to get things done. If they can't get those things done, they will be out quickly.
Think we can thank him for the BS we are dealing with today.

What is up with these little bastards acting like they are bigger than they are?
When they get hit they just whine online and say its a "sucker punch"

From what I've seen, this makes a lot of sense. I wonder how long (if ever) it will take for these SJW millennials to realize they have become what they say they are fighting against.

24. Psychologists use the term “socialization” to designate the process by which children are trained to think and act as society demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists are over-socialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel. Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem.
25. The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a nonmoral origin. We use the term “oversocialized” to describe such people. [2]
26. Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society’s expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of HIMSELF. Moreover the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized person are more restricted by society’s expectations than are those of the lightly socialized person. The majority of people engage in a significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt,
thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; he cannot think “unclean” thoughts. And socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is
kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. We suggest that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties
that human being inflict on one another.
27. We argue that a very important and influential segment of the modern left is oversocialized and that their oversocialization is of great importance in determining the direction of modern leftism. Leftists of the oversocialized type tend to be intellectuals or members of the upper-middle class. Notice that university intellectuals [3] constitute the most highly socialized segment of our society and also the most leftwing segment.
28. The leftist of the oversocialized type tries to get off his psychological leash and assert his autonomy by rebelling. But usually he is not strong enough to rebel against the most basic values of society. Generally speaking, the goals of today’s leftists are NOT in conflict with the accepted morality. On the contrary, the left takes an accepted moral principle, adopts it as its own, and then accuses mainstream society of violating that principle. Examples: racial equality, equality of the sexes, helping poor people, peace as opposed to war, nonviolence generally, freedom of expression, kindness to animals. More fundamentally, the duty of the individual to serve society and the duty of society to take care of the individual. All these have been deeply rooted values of our society (or at least of its middle and upper classes [4] for a long time. These values
are explicitly or implicitly expressed or presupposed in most of the material presented to us by the mainstream communications media and the educational system. Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility
to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles.

That would require self-awareness & a sense of irony, but none of those people read this forum... No better way to expand your self-awareness than to participate in a forum debate & have the crucible of your self-confidence shattered.
p.s. I say "forum debate" because debating live changes no one's mind, and Twitter is for pussies.
Xenophon wrote:My point, Kath, is that it appears that you don't understand that Trump speaks in a specific way that isn't concise. He uses big adjectives (huge, tremendous, big league) to describe things he believes are amazing or important, not just things that are big. You'd have to be a pretty big cynic to actually believe he thought it was awesome that the guy got his leg blown off.
Bigly, not big-league.
Anyway, we can't take him seriously. We can't take him literally. How should we take him? How should other world leaders react to his boisterous claims of bigliness? You don't think it makes us look foolish when we tell China they are manipulating currency until they actually show up and suddenly, they no longer are doing manipulating?
How many blunders, mis-speaks, outright lies, half-wit noises does this man have to make before it has meaning?
