Trump is functionally retarded

[Al Swearegen]

If this country goes downhill it's the fault of the idiots that placed the "supreme orange man" in his position.

The Green deal?
The ever more radically Socialist Democrats?
Unprotected Southern border?
Bills proposed to kill babies when they are born?

There are much bigger concerns than Trump. What policies does he have and what actions that are bad or problematic and bad for the world? I don't care about words or personal proclivities. If you are struggling after two years to find anything REALLY bad then you need to look at some of the kind of shit above.

There are ways of improving the southern border without overhyping it! 

A wall is not going to do a damn thing to help the southern border issues.... they're needing to look at the tunnels that are below it!

The Socialist Democrats are nothing new, there's been a lot of Socialist ideals throughout the years in the states... Eugene Debbs, Upton Sinclair, both of those guys were around way before Sanders and AOC... Some socialism was used to bring the stuff that was of benefit after the Haymarket Square Riots, it's where the Americans have their 40 hour work weeks, benefits, unions (though the unions of today are a bit much), The shit that Trump and the GOP are doing is far worse than what the Socialist Democrats are proposing...

The whole thing of killing babies when they're born is somewhat over-hyped right now... because both sides cannot provide credible evidence to back their claims. Yes there are some cases where it happens in Bucharest back in the Soviet Era, or even in other countries...

What I do not understand is why it's necessary to take an extreme approach to get his point across... an approach that's been said and done for centuries... an approach that often leads to isolationism, and xenophobic tendencies.

What should matter as of right now is focusing on fixing the migrant problems, not demonizing people just because a select few do not take legal means to gain residential status and/or citizenship.

Should not build a wall because some people can build tunnels and some people will be able to find a way under the wall.

OR

Should build a wall to reduce the people that will walk straight across unwalled area without needing to go to the bother of building a tunnel

One of these makes more sense than the other when it comes to reducing unvetted illegal immigrants.

And meanwhile, Mr Art of the Deal failed to close another deal.

Only a real idiot would insist he should take a bad deal in no one's interest and DELAYING a deal and working through the kinks is somehow failing. What are YOU that idiot, Odeon?

[odeon]

Only an idiot would still suggest Trump is doing an even remotely passable job and post excuse after excuse for his every fail.

The good news is that I already know you're an idiot, Al.

[odeon]

I just love the live entertainment today. I love it how the republicans spend their slots whining while the democrats ask all the fun questions. All this while the main character is off to Vietnam, desperately hoping for a diversion.

Or....you know, on a planned diplomatic trip like every President who ever existed makes and will make. You mean that don't you? You think he gives a shit about Cohen? Why? Cohen is a proven liar and has lied under oath. There is not a thing that he could do or say that will restore his credibility. What has Trump to be concerned about?

He sure makes a lot of noise on Twitter about it for someone who doesn't care.

[odeon]

Frankly, I think the republicans act like a bunch of imbeciles. Not a single representative at yesterday's hearing managed to ask a pertinent question but several had duh moments. Right now, my favourite is Higgins (R), who gave cluelessness a face.

[Genesis]

Also Al... the Green New Deal is a proposal that is meant to take its time... not strictly enforce asap.

Didn't you hear about the 2020 proposal that other countries were planning 7 years ago or so? The idea was to make going green initiatives to be completed around that frame of time... places like San Fransisco, Vancouver, Oslo, and other cities using alternative energy to improve the climate, etc, etc.

If it's proposed early, I don't see why it's such a big deal to bitch about it.

The republicans are lying about what the Green New Deal means. Nobody's going to ban air traffic or cars or anything else. It's not what the proposal is about at all. But everything AOC stands for is a threat to the republicans and they fight her with everything they've got.

Odeon my dear fellow, the Republicans are getting backdoor payments from the corporations that disagree with the ideas of AOC, and Sanders... that's why they're against the ideas... it's the people that are pulling the strings to influence their opinions.

A wall shows a sign of hostility though... -_- 

[Genesis]

A wall isn't going to work 100% of the time... they'll find ways around it. They're not as dumb as he thinks they are.

[Genesis]

Think of the Wall as a Gun Free Zone in the states...

Would the person who wants to fuck things up with a gun follow the rules of a gun free zone? No, they wouldn't...

The Wall is like a Gun Free Zone, it's just a facade by a Con-man wanting to provide a false sense of security with something that isn't much of an issue.

The percentage of illegals from Mexico itself according to Pew statistics is lower than it was in 2007. It makes no sense to put something up that is proven not to work effectively.

The focus shouldn't just be on Mexico being the scapegoat, there are other nationalities that find ways of getting into the states...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. It's a two-way street, though. They need each other.

Two-way street= Money + Power

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

Gen, backdoor payments wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact it sounds like Trump copped it up the backdoor, metaphorically, from a certain North Korean dictator.

But both sides of politics are being openly corrupted through the front door anyway. Massive donations from the corporate sector are hardly "no strings attached". They are a reward for protecting the interests of those corporations and a holding deposit on future policy. And there's big consultancy fees and speaking fees and seats on the board for helpful politicians.

That is why they run fear campaigns. To distract us from this reality.

I'm glad I still love humanity. Love always wins out in the end.

You obviously didn't read the text. She gave a 10 year timespan for most of these proposals.

[Yuri Bezmenov]

The republicans are lying about what the Green New Deal means. Nobody's going to ban air traffic or cars or anything else.

You obviously didn't read the text.

Domestic flights are to be replaced by high speed trains. All cars with internal combustion engines are to be replaced or converted to electric.

Farting cows are to be banned too.
