President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Other things Trump has done that I think are right:

- The prison reform bill

- Getting tough on immigration (not including the stupid wall). You should not get entry into the USA because things are bad in your country. We should ship them some guns and they should fight for their own damn freedom.

- Backing away from Title IX presumption of guilt for the accused in colleges.

- Rescinding Obama's school discipline policies (seriously, ask a black teacher, they will tell you that Obama's rules suck)

- Rescinding some of Obama's regulations that hurt business and provided little of no benefit.

- Stopping taxpayer payment for cosmetic surgery and cosmetic hormones for military people with gender dysphoria.

Things that Trump might do that Obama did not have the will to do, that would make him popular/neutral with his base and also with people with common sense:

- No one can have an emotional support animal where animals are otherwise banned. Service animals will be seeing-eye dogs only but they must wait outside restaurants and travel in the cargo hold on planes.

- Remove cannabis from Schedule I

- Force the telecoms to adopt technology to stop robocalls

 

Well, Trump is Vlad’s pet.

 

The Russian position on Syria is consistent: Eliminate any disruption to the established state. That means fighting ISIS. That means fighting rebels, who hope to topple the state.

The American position is inconsistent/schizophrenic: Fight ISIS, but support rebels trying to topple the state, which will open the door to ISIS.

 

I'm starting to think I'd rather see a brain MRI than his tax returns.
He is completely mental and it's getting worse.
Soon will be in the not-so-funny range.

 

I'm curious on this one. Why not? If someone wants to move here - from Guatemala, Scotland, Uganda, wherever - why don't we want them to follow the legal processes to grant them citizenship? These are people who, living outside our borders, see a place they believe will be a better place for them to live and want to make their home. Why are you against that?

 

The same reason you don't let 12,000 people into a movie theater, just because they may "want" to go there.

 

Obama was a good, but not perfect president. Trump's motivation has been to get back at the guy who embarrassed him once by undoing everything he did as president.

Trump was bound to stumble onto a couple things that might be better undone while fucking up the rest.

Didn't anybody tell Howie Carr that people don't plead guilty if they're not guilty?

And please, enlighten me, what crimes did
Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, the Podestas, Huma Abedin, Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch commit?

 

What's your point?

This blows my mind: House Ethics Rules prevent me from receiving a $100 gift card, or crashing at a place as I wait for rent , but somehow allow members w/ investment portfolios to write laws that will personally enrich them $1000s in their own stocks; potentially millions.
