Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 19

Trump Tweets

The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats keep chanting “fairness”, when they put on the most unfair Witch Hunt in the history of the U.S. Congress. They had 17 Witnesses, we were allowed ZERO, and no lawyers. They didn’t do their job, had no case. The Dems are scamming America!

Democrats = 17 Witnesses. Republicans = 0 Witnesses.

I am haunted by Benjamin Franklin's answer, at the Constiutional Convention, when somebody asked him what kind of Government the new country would have:

"A Republic, if you can keep it".

That's... very haunting. I'm tempted to make it my new sig.

Why don't you tell the truth The Republicans subpoenaed two of those,
It is clear Trump was Guilty!

Par for the course:

Trump rescinds ban of use of landmines by US forces.

U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high: court data

Chapter 12 filings spiked 20% in 2019.



I'm all for supporting our family farms, don't get me wrong.

However, I wonder how many of them frequently talk about their bootstaps and the folly of giving people "free stuff."

Trump is all in favor of family farms too. As long as they are families like the Perdue family, the Tyson family, etc. Oh, and as long as they keep the PAC money flowing.

Ben is probably my personal favorite of the Founding Fathers.

They will just kill foreigners who do not have white skins anyway.

I have to admit, I find it hard to find sympathy for the American Farmer, given the fact that they tend to be very supportive for Trump. (His approval rating is currently around 83%).

In 2016, they supported a racist who was not only going to harm other people, he was going to harm THEM. And they KNEW what he was going to be like before he was elected (The idea of tariffs did not spring up after he was sworn in.) And after he was elected, they are STILL supporting him, after he got involved in a trade war which cut into agricultural sales.

So, I say let them suffer.

Let's see what color Nebraska and Iowa turn just after midnight on the first Wednesday in November before we enjoy their suffering.

Bright Red. They are not Swing states by any stretch of the imagination.
Of course it all depends on who the Dems Nominate.

Let yet hope we settle this Peacefully but if a war is what they want just put me in a tank.

A) If I'm your voice of caution, you're really ****** up.

B) If armed revolt against Trump and his Trumptrash is the way to go, someone please explain to me the democratic process you're going to undertake to legitimize the use of force to change our government. I'm dying to hear this. Our revolution had a fundamentally flawed but still reasonably democratic basis in the form of a colonial Congress. Will this next armed rebellion have such a thing?

IIRC, Iowa went for Obama twice.

I think it reaches an armed revolt, the whole democratic process has pretty much broken down,

I forgot.
Which makes it important who the Dems nominate. They c annot afford to mess up the way Labor in the UK did.

Ummm...excuse me, sir...but wasn't it the Republicans in the Senate today who voted down having any witnesses?

And weren't you invited to appear and to present witnesses during the House proceedings and refused to do so, going so far as to order your 'exonerating' witnesses not to appear?

Hey, Brooklyn, I know you read every post here with great care so I just don't know how you missed this one:

Deleted. I posted the same PolitiFact link already posted by others.

Hey Brooklyn, seems to me you have two choices:

- Quit listening to Limbaugh as you stated you would; or
- Admit you lied to us.

A classic Hobson's choice. I can't wait for your answer dodge.

No need to thank me for keeping you up to speed.

 

[SezMe]

I kind of figured giving y'all advice wouldn't work out very good. Oh well, live and learn...

All this presidential stuff is nonsense. The really bigly question is how you can be a Brooklyn Baby and use "y'all". Does not compute.

 

[SezMe]

The concrete hadn't cured yet.

You took that claim at face value? I'd like to know the exact timing before believing it. Do you have any relevant details?

No. No. Plenty of other things to criticize the B.B. for. I use y’all all the time and I’ve lived in Philly most of my life.

When it comes to a plural ‘you’, it’s something the South US got right. Youse and You’uns are just plain terrible.

 

[SezMe]

Maybe, but we all know you're an Evil Fokker.

Trump knows all about construction. Believe him^TM.
