MUCH better environmental moves - conservation, etc.

And a host of other things. That's the reason why most people don't quote George Wallace.
Well, another reason might be "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation for evah!"

But he (Wallace) hated all the right people, which seems to have an echo 50+ years later.

No sane person would watch a 45 minute video of Trump.

"God Bless Trump"? I think you meant to say "God Is Trump".

Look, if you want to scrape and bow before him, grovel away. But if you Trumplings think your slobbering praise of the man convinces anyone of anything other than your own desperate need to worship, think again.

Donald Trump is no patriot. He is a traitor to America and all it stands for. To say otherwise is laughable.

A federal judge on Monday rejected a bold argument from President Trump that sitting presidents are immune from criminal investigations, allowing the Manhattan district attorney’s office to move forward with a subpoena seeking eight years of the president’s personal and corporate tax returns.

Trump’s lawyers .... said the release of the president’s tax returns would cause him “irreparable harm.”


No..... really????

Trump does have amazing business capabilities - to "win" like we haven't won since the Recession

"Wall Street is expecting a 3% year-over-year decline in S&P 500 (^GSPC) earnings per share.

“If realized, 3Q would mark the first year/year decline in quarterly EPS since 2Q 2016 and since 2Q 2009 when the Energy sector is excluded"

Turning 100 billion into Zero...and then, only with foreign help bringing it back up to 2 or 3 is not "success".....

So, no, Obama would have never lost that much much money. It takes a special type of ignorance to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I lived very near to Atlantic City when Trump ran that (and most of his inheritance) into the ground.

Say what you like, but calling him successful with money is simply untrue. If he were so he wouldn't have to sell his country out now for little scraps like having people stay at his hotel.

Trump's only legislative achievement is getting a huge corporate tax cut passed. And also stacking the courts with Conservatives. Did you really need Trump to get that done? Wouldn't a more respectable Republican be better? Maybe you really enjoy his Twitter rants?

And, the Republicans in Congress that enable him are no better.

Unprecedented reckless fiscal policy that will wreck this country for years to come. ZIRP has destroyed the pension system yet gets very little discussion. This country is going to have a very rough next decade or so. I hope people have prepared accordingly. The growing deficits and debt have been in the making for a long time now but Trump has done nothing to curb either. A deflationary recession will be here by July 2020. Avoid debt and save toward your emergency fund. Rough seas ahead.......
Obama doubled the deficit.. he bailed out everything and threw away millions on green energy, cash for clunkers,, etc.. Obama was the worst president ever.
