Can you comment on the subject of this thread instead of just bashing Trump. It seems that's all you people are able to do. You are incapable of rational thought, apparently.
Your kidding right? Those things are not enough for you to see that he shouldn't be president??
No he hasn't been doing a good job! The only reason you voted for Trump was to keep Hillary out of office. While I agree that she shouldn't be president either, you voted for what you thought was the lesser of two evils. Which is not the way to vote. Look at ALL the videos of trump acting like a child. Rational thought also means seeing things for what they are, not looking at them with rose-colored glasses.
There is NOTHING rational about Trump nothing at all. Here I even looked the word up for you.
Having reason or understanding b : Relating to, based on, or agreeable to reason.
I'll go one step further for you. Rationalthought is employing the logic known as 'thinking' or 'understanding'. Rational Logic doesn't own the 'knowledge' (experience) about reality.
Define "alt-right," a term coined by Hillary Clinton to describe (mainly) those she called "Trump's basket of deplorables." There really is no "alt-right."
You seem to be well informed ... Reference please.
In November 2008, self-described paleoconservative philosopher Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". This was republished in December under the title "The Decline and Rise of the Alternative Right" in the conservative Taki's Magazine, making this the earliest published usage of the phrase in its current context according to Slate. In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the alternative right. The term, however, is most commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right
Democrats tried to help people by forcing banks to give mortgages to people who simply should not have gotten them. In the end, many of those people ended up getting hurt financially. Helping people is one thing, but setting people up for failure is bad for everyone, particularly when others will be on the hook for bailing them out.
The idea of helping people who otherwise would not be able to afford the American Dream was not a bad thing. The problem was in refusing to do the hard work and the quid pro quo they undertook because they refused to do the hard work.
Wow, what a distortion!
The crises of 2007, 2008 and 2009 is directly traceable to Republican actions to de-regulate the banks. Specifically the repeal of Glass-Steagall. There was a very good reason those banks were regulated in that manner since 1933. When originally proposed, the Glass-Steagall act was opposed by Republicans and they had it in their sights for decades. Most of the votes in congress to repeal the act were Republican and most of the votes to keep the act in place were Democrats.
It is nice that you recognize the Democratic party as the party that helps people, it's a seriously important admission, but this was all about Republican efforts to help banks, by de-regulating. Big difference!
It's odd then that most of the things he did was of the corrupt crony capitalist mindset.
His promise to "fundamentally transform the United States of America" stems from his "progressive" (Marxist-socialist, communist ...they're all basically the same) philosophy. He believed strongly in wealth redistribution, "social justice," and every Leftist cause.
Explain what you mean by "his crony capitalist mindset."
Interesting that virtually all those who have responded negatively (i.e., critically) to this thread, most of whom did not bother to listen to the video (this is apparent even if they didn't admit it), have inadvertently validated everything that David Horowitz has said in this interview.
References???? Really? Are you saying you did not know this? This is not only common knowledge, it is not something that is obscure.
Do you know how to use Google? Do you know who Frank Marshall Davis was, Obama's mentor? And you mean to tell me that you didn't know that Barack Obama Sr. was a communist? Also his mother?
Obama was not only raised by communists, his mentor was an avowed communist. FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS. Look it up. You can find your own links.
I don't know, I looked it up and can't find anything about communism under this man's name.

That was bipartisan.

Most, yes but not all and the big one was a (D). If Clinton does not sign it does not happen.

No, the (D)'s say they want to help people but in the end they are very much like the (R)'s. What I want is for the (D)'s to live up to their words. I would prefer the (R)'s didn't.
