unOFFICIAL Thanks Trump thread.

Obama buys 15 million coastal mansion. Did Trump stop climate change and sea levels from rising?

[Tpoppa]

Trump asked the pres of Ukraine to investigate something Biden may have been involved with in the Ukraine....

Is there something illegal about that?  Is it because it's a potential political opponent?  Didn't Obama have Trump investigated in the campaign leading up to the 2016 election?

Not entirely sure why this is a thing.   Because politics?  

[serpentracer]

i'm honestly surprised some of you guys are so easily hypnotised by a conman.  I figured you guys were a lot smarter than this.  just because he's a republican?  

this should tell you something about how well his economy is doing...  it's like putting flex seal on a ship haul

Hate Obama, hate Trump, hate them all. However, the speaking fees and stuff like that after leaving office is more than enough to pay for that.

And good for them, their life is fucked forever after leaving office. For example, he can't ever ride a motorcycle down US 129 again.

Trumpers are fascinating. Holding onto your political roots is fine. I get that. But not holding him accountable for anything is just incredible.

Trump haters are equally fascinating.  They'd like to hang him for things they'd applaud if they were said by Obama or Hillary.  In fact they have.

Even if you hate Trump, you have to recognize that he is a threat to the structure that has had a strangle hold on power.  I'm not so certain that's bad thing.  Frankly, I'd be more surprised if there wasn't an effort to demonize him.

Neither side holds their side accountable. That is why we are so fucked no matter who gets elected. You all suck.

Loose cannons are usually a threat to the structure. The structure of the USA is the Constitution.& Trump definitely is a threat to the structure. Can't say that's a good thing.

Much of what happens in Washington has little if any Constitutional basis.

The power structure in DC is based on career politicians and the corporations and lobbyists that wield influence over those politicians.   Some threatening to that system is necessary and long overdue.

That is where democrat and republican accountability has been lacking for generations.

My right winged friend above has a point.  The system is not working as intended. The current screwed up system needs to be broken. That was actually the hope I had for Trump, that he may blow the whole current system up.

It looks like he may. I am hopeful.

For the record I'm a right leaning moderate that votes my conscience and I don't follow any party line.

You can point and counterpoint all day about different ways to accomplish that.

However, if you feel that the system is working as designed and don't see problems with democrat and replublican politicians stonewalling each other and, by the way, guilding their nests in the process....then your opinion becomes irrelevant to me.

The only people I see quitting are Trump's cabinet members. Am I missing some hidden gem in this dumpster fire?

What political "business as usual" do you see operating so smoothly that it's above being disturbed?

I don't really care if Trump gets reelected or not.  If another person has a better vision to move the country forward...well then that's probably good for all of us.    But I sincerely hope that Trump sets the precedent for outsiders displacing career politicians that sold their souls long ago.

They can't?

President Jimmy Carter loves to ride his spiffy little bike up to his favorite breakfast joint in Plains, Georgia to start his day right.

No one gave a fuck about Jimmy until a few years ago.  Now a few do, but that's probably just out of pity.

... nope. Nevermind.

when politicians start talking about eroding the bill of rights is when I start to consider who will do the least damage in their 4 year stint, even if it's not a popular choice. this is the situation it seems we are going into for 2020, sadly. neither party will put up a moderate anymore which is a problem.

Yes.  And it seems to be getting worse and worse.  The US just isn't going to feel unified under a far left or far right agenda.  It would be more Dem vs Rep stonewalling.

I do kind of see Biden as a moderate, at least more so than some of the other choices.

He seems to be dumb as a rock but you may be right.

Agree...we need more rights, not less.  I'm all for the Convention of States.
