President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Asked if America’s standing on the global stage was better under Barack Obama, McCain, a fervent critic of the previous administration’s foreign policy, responded: “As far as American leadership is concerned, yes.”

How Trump’s actions and tone affect US alliances and perception on global stage

 

I mentioned it on this thread a couple days ago. People play right into the Putin's hands when they reflexively retreat to partisan talking points on this issue. That's among his objectives.

 

I would think there would be nothing more satisfying in the world for McCain than to go completely Darth Vader on Fucko.

 

Well, good luck with that shit. At this point any "tax returns" you get out of Fucko are fabricated out of cream cheese top to bottom.

 

That would be exceedingly dangerous because the IRS has the real ones and they could be subpoenaed too.

 

Yeah, I saw that. Good time to bang that point across again.

 

Oh, joy. What a good idea. DeMint wants to Tea Party the Constitution via Constitutional Convention.

Exclusive: In latest job, Jim DeMint wants to give Tea Party ' a new mission'

 

This is why things go badly for you on this board.
You jump into an argument you had nothing to do with, just to be a dick.
Because you're OOP.

 

Knee-jerk partisanship is a bigger threat than Russia.

 

Last week's conventional wisdom: McCain is a doddering old fool, who doesn't know where he is.

This week's conventional wisdom: McCain criticized Trump! This criticism must be taken very seriously, since it comes from John McCain.

 

Hey, but at least McCain's folks are putting out a better excuse than he was tired from staying up late watching baseball.

The guy has incredible stamina!

 

No. His objective was to undermine the new President's credibility.

He assumed it would be Hillary Clinton, and put all of his efforts into undermining her.

He guessed wrong.

But, democrats and the media have taken up his cause, and worked overtime to undermine Trump.
