US Politics

[Ironman]

That's funny All the left is doing is resisting and protesting, actions they are entitled to do under the first amendment to the US Constitution and something that Republicans did when Obama took office. Since the right-wing didn't give Obama a chance, why should the left-wing give Trump a chance?



These leaks doesn't surprise me one bit as they all fit his character, I did research on the guy during the election. He inherited the wealth from his daddy who he could never get his approval, causing him to have daddy issues and to obsess about appearing successful when that isn't the case at all. The reason he doesn't release his tax returns is because it will clearly show he doesn't have anything near $10 billion dollars as he claims to have, instead it is more like $200 million. He isn't a business man, he never ran a successful business.

The guy knows he isn't successful, it is why he is so insecure, thin-skin and can't stand criticism, even something has minor as his tiny, tiny hands. One writer mention his tiny hands in an article ten or so years ago, and he got letters from Trump, one contained the outline of his hand in gold sharpie with the note, "See, not so short!". Despite selling a book, one that he didn't write and one that clearly he didn't read, and I think that is because the guy has trouble reading, it is why he doesn't like reading his briefings and instead damn it be only one page and made up of no more than nine bullet points.

The guy is not even able to mange his wealth correctly and is drowning in debt along with his current businesses, none of which make any profit and most he doesn't even own as he licenses his name to actually real and successful developers. He is good at only two things and that is marketing and grabbing attention, especially from the media. He doesn't hate the media, he loves the attention they give him. That is why he watches them endlessly to see what the media says about him and why he calls into shows a lot. You like him, because you are only seeing his marketing.

But can't run a government and without a functioning government crashes and recessions is all but guaranteed. As a real business person and someone who studied economics and law at university. I say, economic disaster is ahead.

I could be wrong, but I did correctly predicted that he would win against Hillary early last year.

Well, he wouldn't have been the cause of it if is does happen. We aren't doing that well right now anyway. Nobody wants to admit it, but it's true. I see it now with my own job and the work I have to do to literally prop up my foreign coworkers - since 2009. I mean literally hold their hand by sending emails to their bosses/my coworkers to make sure THEY do their job correctly. They aren't fired for poor performance anymore.

And yes, there is too much regulation - too much fear of another collapse, and that fear could send us into another one. This time - healthcare. That's the bubble I am seeing.

As for Trump, he has advisors all over the place. He will be fine, but he needs more coaching. As far as I have seen, he does listen to his team.
The media needs to back off - there is constructive criticism, and then outright subterfuge to sink Trump. Our country doesn't need that. Rightly so, the media has lost the majority of its credibility after the tactics in helping Clinton were revealed.

Not unless he puts in a bad policy that causes a collapse, which is quite possible.

Nah, there isn't enough good regulation in the USA that is why more places has lead in the drinking water. Australia has much more good regulation than the USA and we have non-lead water and an economy that hasn't collapsed since I was born.

He's advisors are too busy fighting among each other and just as clueless, did you not see Betsy DeVos's hearing?

The media is doing its job, and it attacked Clinton too. Trump doesn't have to listen to the media and instead can do his job, but he isn't there to do the job, he is there for the attention and the title.

The only disaster that is about to happen is the left causing a Civil War.
Why worry about terrorist attacks when you're hellbent on destroying your domestic, anti One World Government opponents first?

Yeah - I was a bit perplexed in the DeVos thing. The first time the VP has ever had to step in and cast a vote for a Cabinet nominee. My stepmom taught in Indiana (the state Pence is from and DeVos) and retired in 2012. She said that the charter schools were beginning to take students away from the public school system - which ends up with the city schools getting less funding. I kinda wonder if the same thing has been happening in my town.

I went to public schools and felt dumbed down - but then again, I was not a normal kid. I started reading at 3 and read to my own preschool class. In kindergarten, I was reading at a grade 5 level (10-11) and doing math at a grade 4 level (9-10, at age 5, I couldn't understand long division - go figure). The school didn't know what to do with me and oddly, never labeled me "gifted". That always bugged me when I saw kids labeled as such be real jerks to everyone and were pretty dumb at everything else.

I would like to think that she would do a good job -she deserves a try. If there are problems, they need to find someone who would be a better fit.

That lead stuff was in Flint, Michigan when the city was trying to save money - I don't know what all went on, but a really bad decision was made with that city. That's not a nationwide problem, though.

I think Trump will settle in - people aren't seeing that Trump may actually be patriotic in what he is doing. There were points in his speeches that showed me his interest in people and things. Oddly, it was about (1) the first hotel he had renovated, (2) an ice skating rink and how to build one - and this story was the most interesting I think I have ever heard him discuss, and (3) the way he saluted ALL of the military academy students marching in the Inauguration parade. I have never seen ANY President do that. It was like seeing him back in the high school days.

It's a longshot, but considering the tirades and the violence at the inauguration and UC Berkeley...
Celebrities are part of the problem - they are spoiled and don't remember or know what it is like to have to live paycheck to paycheck.

"I've thought.......and awful lot.......about blowing up the White House" - really, Madonna? It never crossed my mind when Obama was President.

But it was okay for Fox News and the Republicans to joke about killing Obama?

DeVos doesn't like public schools and plans on defunding it further.

It is nationwide with more than 18 million Americans affected. Flint was caused by the State Republicans cutting corners to cut costs so they can give out tax cuts to large corporations.

Nope - that's not funny. The only time I ever heard of that was when some anchorman said "Obama" instead of "Osama" - his co-anchor immediately turned to him and pointed it out.

Well, polls do change. That would have to be from different days.

Hahaha My thoughts exactly.

I'm choosing to stay out of this debate for the most part, but if I feel that my two cents are needed, I'll be happy to jump in.

Uh-huh and there are plenty of leftover Obama people still in Cabinet positions. Just sayin'.

There is none, they are all gone.

[Ironman]

Actually, there are still Obama-era people acting as interim Cabinet positions for those yet to be filled. Once the Cabinet is approved, then they are done.

It's from before the inauguration, but it explains what happens to the Cabinet positions. They have a transition, too.
