I believe that President Trump likes pulling the leftists' strings and watching them react. It's quite entertaining actually.

They still haven't caught on and they oblige us and him.

If there is prison reform, Trump won't get the credit, Obama will. Unless prison reform goes badly, then Trump will get the blame. This is what Hilary Crooked Clinton called for - resist. And it means they resist on EVERYTHING.

To feed the fire in this thread, let me tell the truth.

When GWB was in power and at the height of his popularity, a minority of the country knew how bad the neo-cons and his administration was. We knew that these types of policies create war, debt and...in the end, economic and social ruin. Yet everyone was cheering the loss of their freedoms and war, etc.

In my mind I thought "They (the authoritarians) can't lose...the setup is perfect and there is almost no down side for them".....and it was so.....UNTIL, all of our predictions came through and the entire house of cards came tumbling down.

And so it is - 10X over - with Trump. Anyone who uses reason, logic or history to look at his administration knows that it cannot work. They would have known that LONG before he ran.

When the world works out exactly as you imagine it does (and I am a business person, capitalist and engineer) then at least one knows that their moral, ethical and mapping of human behavior and society is partially correct.

Translating that to "celebration of bad news", that simply means we are noticing what we knew would happen...and also hoping that our country survives this. If the nukes start flying or the Constitution and precedents is smashed due to an out of control administration, THAT would be the REALLY bad news.

In other words, the best thing that can happen at this point is for Trump to fail bigly. But I don't have to help him with that, he's doing fine himself. It's hurting me big time as an investor and business person, but I can't control that. I separate out my world-views from whether I profit day-to-day.

I hope that helps explain the complexities of this matter.

I mean really..
Here we go again with another thread about our heads exploding, we're having meltdowns, and we're going insane. This from a fan of the self absorbed guy who fires off juvenile tweets every time someone does anything he doesn't like

Anyone notice how excited and thrilled liberals get every time there is bad news?
Haven't noticed it myself ...

But you seem awfully excited and thrilled to be starting this baseless posts.

You're chastising the wrong person.

You mean like Conservatives who were praying for the economy to fail constantly while Obama was in office.

I'm not a liberal, but yes, it makes me happy. Why?

Because Trump has been a horrible person most of his life, he has gotten away with way too many things in business that he shouldn't have, and he is doing the same thing as President.

So if it appears he may have to finally pay for some of his wrong doings? Yeah, that makes me happy.
