What makes you think I haven't spoken out against Obama? I wasn't a member of this board when he was in office. I didn't vote for Obama. I didn't support giving cash to Iran, and I don't particularly like the Iran deal, nor any of the other assertions you listed to the extent they are true. Your falsehoods about me not withstanding. Stick to the truth.Oldbear83 said:Funny, you never said that when Obama was doing his far more dangerous thing while in office.TexasScientist said:Yes, but it's more than, and goes beyond just that. His behavior and the way he conducts himself make him a dangerous person in the White House. When we start excusing his actions, it puts us on a slippery slope.Mothra said:
Don't disagree that Trump can be ridiculous and petty.
And yet sadly, he's still better than the only other viable alternative
Giving billions in cash to Iran is a lot worse than a few tweets, so is creating a program without any constitutional authority (DACA) because you can't get the votes. So is weaponizing the IRS to go after conservatives and using the FBI to spy on the other party's nominee.
You really have some messed up morals, TS.
That's a matter of opinion. But one thing you cannot deny is their assessment about Trump is shared amongst a long line of others who passed throught the White House. I think Mattis has the ability and the integrity to accurately assess Trump, whether you like Mattis or not.Sam Lowry said:Bolton was a huge danger to American interests and always has been. Mattis wasn't much better.TexasScientist said:Bolton, Tillerson, Mattis, Kelly head a long list of Republicans who I guess you question also. It's possible for Republicans to recognize the danger Trump presents.

Throw your vote away on a 3rd party candidate? Sit on the sidelines and don't vote, but keep going full speed ahead with your complaining?TexasScientist said:I've never offered Biden up as a solution. I'm not a Biden supporter.Johnny Bear said:TexasScientist said:Which charitable foreign aid has Trump eliminated that is positive in your view?Johnny Bear said:Doc Holliday said:
I hate the notion that the President is the leader of the free world.
He's the leader of the United States.
America first. We do something for you, you do something for us. We are NOT a charity.
True, we're not, but between the end of World War II and the start of the Trump Presidency, in many ways we we've sure acted like one. Among the many positive and in some cases historic things Trump has accomplished, turning this around is one of the things that's on the list.
One example is demanding that other NATO countries, that have been able to pay more of their fair share for decades now, actually start doing so. Withdrawing the USA from the ridiculous Paris Climate Accords is another example. For all intents and purposes, you can throw better trade deals in there too as he's moving us away from allowing trade partners to use bad deals as a form of charity. Furthermore, he isn't delivering piles of cash to the likes of Iran. Defunding the WHO is another wise financial move.
I know you hate all things Trump, but do you seriously think Joe Biden is the answer??
Gotta luv the internet .
