'brokered NK peace deal" - Do you know something we don't, because the last time I checked there is no NK nuke deal.   Kim got his photo op (what he wanted), and went back to building bombs. 

 

"resurrected the US economy" - Obama had the longest jobs growth streak in American history (75 straight months).  6 of the 8 years under Obama the yearly jobs creation numbers were greater than Trumps first year. Our current streak of positive economic growth is 103 months long. Thats 85 months under Obama, and 18 months under Trump? 

 

"sorted out the immigration problems" - No wall (so much for promises). Zero legislation. Kidnapping children with no plan to return them to their parents? It fixes nothing. Nada!

 

"clawing back some of his citizen's wealth" - Tell that to the literally thousands of farmers and manufacturers that are already feeling the very real, negative effects of his insane "trade war". If he keeps it up, Trump will be responsible for bringing one of the best economic runs in our history to a screeching halt. 

 

I do apologize for buggering up this conversation with a few facts!

I am new around here and swore I was just gonna post pics and vids, and was not gonna get involved in anything political. Why am I so freakin' weak?

This thread'll do that to ya - it gets us all in the end, don't beat yourself up...look, your "facts" are Obama side propaganda. A very quick Google yields alternative data and a different view. https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/how-good-is-job-growth-the-chart-obama-doesnt-want-you-to-see/   

 

The wall? Would be built by now if the Dems and RINOs weren't obstructing at every turn. I didn't say brokered a nuke deal, I said peace deal. Right now, there is peace, no threats of war from Kim, communication is happening, all good and much more than Obama achieved. The pictures if children in cages? - fro. The Obama era. Fact. Etc etc. Try looking past the emotional media narrative.

It was worth a try Erik

Imho, if you support Trump then by definition reason and facts are nothing that will sway you

My jobs numbers come from Trumps own labor dept.

 

I wasn't aware that we were at war with NK before Trump showed up. Thank the gods those "fire and fury" tweets saved us all from certain death. 

 

Trump is in fact removing children from their parents without any intentions of returning some of them. The WH has said as much. And yes we have recent photos of very young children in cages/cells.

 

I could give a rats arse about the media narrative, my view of Trump is based on my own research. The man is an incompetent buffoon who is not good for America, or anyone else for that matter ( the guy looks like a burnt french fry, for f******k sake). Donny is concerned about one thing, and one thing only. What is best for Donny.

 

I voted for Obama in 2008, but did not vote for him in 2012. I am no Obama fanboy, but he does deserve some of the credit for the thriving US economy (as does Trump).

 

I acknowledge some of the positive aspects of things Trump is doing, but the baggage he brings with him simply outweighs the good.  Hillary or Trump? We can do better. We must demand better.

 

Enjoying our conversation, but I gotta go make a little $. I will get back to you later Haironyourchest (great handle by the way).

Big trouble! [emoji23]

I find it remarkable how a mere half an hour and a centimetre of skin can totally reverse the polarity of a ‘progressive’ persons moral compass.

It really would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

Thats an issue is try and steer clear of. Legit arguments on both sides. I just know that I am not gonna be the one to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body.

 

I think its illegal to text and drive at the same time? Little more road work in the hood today.

Aye, it seems like forceably removing children from their mothers is an ongoing concern: https://www.timesofisrael.com/un-envoy-tells-outrageous-israel-to-stop-shooting-children-in-gaza/

And, of course UNRWA and the Palestinian authorities have done so much to advance the cause of child welfare in the region.
Ie..
teaching children the merits of genocide from an early age in their UN funded schools.

Using schools to launch rocket attacks at Israeli civilian areas (where children live and play) in order to deliberately draw IDF fire so that the world can express its horror and outrage at the evil Zionist apartheid nazi regime.

Teaching Palestinian kids a new variation on ‘kite flying’

Etc..
I haven’t posted any links to news articles but there are plenty out there that tell the other side of the story.
