All these kind of so called issues are a sideshow pushed by a media who hate every Republican since Reagan. What i’m interested in is economic growth of 4.1% more then double of anything Obama got and an unemployment rate of 3.9% plus deregulation plus energy self sufficiency. The US is an exporter of gas and oil , first time in decades.
Plus we are UNDERCUTTING Russia where it really matters by shipping natural gas to Poland & other Eastern European countries, things you never hear in the media.
“Now that we’re all on the same page, that it’s the act of foulest espionage to interfere with another country’s election, how about we agree that George Soros won’t interfere with anyone else’s election and Russia will stop interfering in ours?”
From an interview of Ann Coulter at Breitbart News labeled,
Just inaccurate. Trump inherited a strong economy??? It couldn’t have been much worse, almost no growth for 8 years, never over 2%. This fairytale of Trump inheriting a strong economy is completely made up by the media. Democrats at this point are mostly anti Capitalism, they think with Socialism they will get tons of free stuff.
Some of your response language is really inappropriate like “intellectually dishonest”? Why can’t we disagree without you using attack language?
No not only by a quarter’s growth but by many factors like the Federal Reserve (a conservative institution) projecting over 4% growth which is partly why they are raising interest rates. Many economic indicators are looking very good and trending well.
The problem with statistical measures, is that they sometimes go in cycles. If a cycle is good, then folks like Jerry Seinfeld could be president - and “turn the country around”. If it’s in a bad statistical cycle, then folks like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln - if alive - couldn’t “revive the dead”. Trump has the football. Let him play the game out - until it finishes. Then we can decide, if he was a “good” or “bad” football coach.
Your conclusion that my comparison is “intellectually dishonest” is nothing more then your opinion. The fact that you represent “your opinion” as some kind of fact is what is dishonest. I started to give other reasons about 4% economic growth such as the Federal Reserve’s projection and the fact they have been raising interest rates in anticipation of such growth. They never raised interest rates under Obama because there never was a reason to do it. The Fed looks at hundreds of factors before taking action, much info the general public has no access to.
Absolutely i agree!! Let’s see how he does his job if it’s possible to let him do his job, but the Media wants to overturn an election.
Ironically Trump is called “fascist” and “Hitler” by the political “Left” but he has obeyed every court order no matter how ridiculous whereas Obama actually ignored some and Obama often chose not to enforce certain laws.
Well said!! The “left” wants to overturn an election by any means!
We now interrupt this important dialogue, to play some appropriate music - the Warpath
And be sure to contemplate the Zombie Apocalypse…as the theory indicating the most probable, end-times tribulation scenario
.
As a Brit/Canadian, I have been following US politics quite closely, admittedly mostly via Fox News which seems to be much more balanced than, for example, CNN. I doubt if any other outlet of so-called entertainment (TV, Hollywood) could match the plot and the drama, or the actors (aka talking heads), all based on lies, subterfuge, backstabbing and worse. I find myself riveted to my favourite chair as I watch this drama playing out. I don’t know how America survives what I perceive to be standard political fare, repeated every two years.
I am not suggesting that a constitutional monarchy works better, nor any other political system that attempts to rule without any dependence on God and His laws. Happily, the future will be infinitely better for all of mankind when “every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

John McCain has planned his funeral. He requested that Barack Obama and George W. Bush give eulogies, but did not wish Donald Trump to be present. All three complied with his wishes.

John McCain has planned his funeral. He requested that Barack Obama and George W. Bush give eulogies, but did not wish Donald Trump to be present. All three complied with his wishes.
And your point is?
Certainly there was no love lost between McCain and Trump. McCain proudly confirmed his role in the Democrats’ Russian dossier.
And from “McCain aide took the Fifth Amendment on role in Steele dossier”—
More threads are unraveling in what may be the biggest political scandal in history: the use of intelligence agencies to spy on a rival-party presidential campaign and then unseat a duly elected president. The blowback from the Steele dossier, the multi-million-dollar operation of the Hillary campaign and the DNC, may reach all the way to Trump-haters in the GOP.
The Steele dossier scandal’s tentacles are reaching all the way to Trumpophobic John McCain, via a close associate of his. The longtime aide to Senator McCain who flew to England to get a copy of the Steele dossier and speed it along to the FBI in 2016 has clammed up and asserted his right to avoid self-incrimination.
John McCain was a great man!
EIGHT QUOTES FROM JOHN MCCAIN:
On character:
“It is your character, and your character alone, that will make your life happy or unhappy. That is all that really passes for destiny. And you choose it. No one else can give it to you or deny it to you. No rival can steal it from you. And no friend can give it to you. Others can encourage you to make the right choices or discourage you. But you choose.” (From his book Character Is Destiny, 2005)
On long-term thinking:
“‘Steady strain, buddy, steady strain,’ we cautioned each other whenever we began to take a short view of our lives. It was best to take the long view.” (From his memoir, 1999)
On beliefs:
“I don’t mind a good fight. For reasons known only to God, I’ve had quite a few tough ones in my life. But I learned an important lesson along the way: In the end, it matters less that you can fight. What you fight for is the real test.” (From his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, 2008)
On glory:
“I have learned the truth: There are greater pursuits than self-seeking. Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. It is not a prize for being the most clever, the strongest or the boldest. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely and who rely on you in return. No misfortune, no injury, no humiliation can destroy it.” (From his memoir, 1999)
On ideals:
“We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldn’t deserve to.” (From his speech at the annual Liberty Medal ceremony in Philadelphia, 2017)
On love and honor:
“‘All that’s beautiful drifts away / Like the waters,’ lament Yeats’s old men. Except, I discovered, love and honor. If you valued them and held them strongly, love and honor would endure undiminished by the passing of time and the most determined assault on your dignity.” (From his memoir, 1999)
On enduring principles:
“Many good people have suffered for their principles. Some have died for them. But however cruel their end, they were surely comforted by the knowledge that they had made the right choice and they had had the character to live a good life. Whether anyone knew how great their courage had been would not matter as much to them as the knowledge that they had chosen well, that their cause had been just and their character worthy of its demands. They did not submit to an inevitable destiny. They believed their values were the power that directs our lives and lights the world in which we burn our little candle, before our work is done and we take our rest.” (From his book Character Is Destiny, 2005)
On his own leadership:
“I’ve had the good fortune to spend 60 years in service to this wondrous land. It has not been perfect service, to be sure, and there were probably times when the country might have benefited from a little less of my help. But I’ve tried to deserve the privilege as best I can, and I’ve been repaid a thousand times over with adventures, with good company and with the satisfaction of serving something more important than myself – of being a bit player in the extraordinary story of America. And I am so very grateful.” (From his speech at the annual Liberty Medal ceremony in Philadelphia, 2017)
Why was John McCain so adamant about blocking the release of classified POW/MIA documents? Here are a few excerpts that focus on McCain—
—taken from this full documentary,
“Missing, Presumed Dead The Search for America’s POWs”:
Republicans are heartless brutal oafs with no families of their own, so no empathy at all toward the human race. Bastards!!!
John McCain was a great man!
When he ran against Obama the media didn’t treat him like a great man but when it fits their agenda the media treats him like a great man. He was a war hero just like thousands of other soldiers heroic soldiers who die in anonymity.
This dossier appears to be a fabrication and McCain passed it along willingly to the Feds. Not clear what he really knew or not but he hated Trump and was used to smear Trump.
