MAGA!!!!Halifax2TheMax said:
mmmmmm, not quite. The Iran deal was negotiated with the involvement of Russia, China, France, Germany and England, was a highly complex and time consuming negotiation with experts in nuclear proliferation and production involved to ensure the Iranians were held accountable, where both sides compromised, the UN had oversight and verification and small soteps lead to bigger steps. Team Trump Treason stepped across the border at the DMZ for a photo op and still has zero, zilch, nada, nothing to show for it except an emboldened tyrant who sought legitimacy. Remember Otto? Team Trump Treason and his "only the best" ilk can't negotiate shite. What's changed?mickeyrat said:
which is what Obama did with Iran and the others? Big bold move, that actually changed some things?Halifax2TheMax said:"The most transformative person on the planet?" GTFOH!President Trump Courageously Takes Bold Risk for Peace with Kim Meeting
“With his meeting Sunday with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, President Trump showed once again why he is the most transformative figure on the planet,” Richard Manning writes in Fox News.
Following last week’s G20 summit, where President Trump held meetings with world leaders from China, Japan, Russia, and elsewhere, the President “chose to take a chance few would take by inviting Kim to meet him at the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea . . . In Washington – where risk-taking is penalized by a media and political system determined to declare failure – Trump has a different approach.”

Watching trump at 3-4am is insane.
I happened upon it before Team Trump Treason took the podium and after he stepped up and opened his mouth to spew incoherent rambling, I was hooked. It was like watching a ten car pile up with 20 fatalities in super slow motion. I couldn’t look away and was horrified. Seriously, find it from start to finish and watch the INSANITY. But I warn you, ITS HORRIFIC!hippiemom = goodness0 -

But as for women's rights, Trump's not the first pro-life president. I think what some of the states are doing, especially the recent legislation in Alabama, is egregious. But that's not Trump's fault. That's a backwards state with a backwards legislature representing it's backwards constitutes. Unless your premise is that Trump is just so mighty and his message so far-reaching that the disease of far-right conservatism is spreading to a point where a legislature like Alabama's would feel compelled to pass such a law. Then I guess it would be Trump's fault.Post edited by Ledbetterman10 on2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

i'm mostly at a loss of for words regarding this guy now. i agree with most everything you say. how are we going to a change a culture that does not value education much? i'm not going to do it. My life is much richer than any life that clown will know. It's thanks to great family, music and education. I take solace in that. that's good enough for me.benjs said:
I don't blame the guy for a second. When you're an already-greedy person who's offered power gift-wrapped and with a bow on it, you take it. To have expected otherwise is asinine.vaggar99 said:what a joke, this guy.
What a joke is the nation that allows the education and wealth and political gap to grow so irreparably wide, that allows apathy and division to rule over empathy and unity, that ignored warning signs of a broken system protected by nothing more than a sense of American exceptionalism, that walked away from each others' ignorance and thus let it fester, that responded positively to unfounded fallacious arguments because they just outright agreed with our own?
I'm more than a little disturbed when I see people talk incessantly about Trump, meanwhile we spend so little dialogue on who we are to have permitted this to get where it has. Some personal accountability would serve us all well, otherwise what compels us to do better next time if we felt we weren't the problem, but that he was? Surely we shouldn't wait until the devil we know is in office before we decide to act (and I think any of us who are rational, level-headed centrists are in many ways disproportionately responsible for that inaction)?
PS vaggar, this wasn't a statement on your post at all - more just a general rant about the rapidly-deteriorating state of affairs.0 -

But as for women's rights, Trump's not the first pro-life president. I think what some of the states are doing, especially the recent legislation in Alabama, is egregious. But that's not Trump's fault. That's a backwards state with a backwards legislature representing it's backwards constitutes. Unless your premise is that Trump is just so mighty and his message so far-reaching that the disease of far-right conservatism is spreading to a point where a legislature like Alabama's would feel compelled to pass such a law. Then I guess it would be Trump's fault.
People who yearn for freedom and democracy might be unhappy with minority elitist rule.

I mean general unhappiness and being depressed because Trump is the president. Not just being against his policies. I guess I meant it in a sense that even if you hate Trump and legitimately worry about things like his position on climate change, you're not walking around forlorn looking up at the sky thinking "My God. In 12 years, it'll all be over."oftenreading said:

That's a naive view, in my opinion. The climate in the WH certainly affects that of the states' legislatures. The states know they have tacit approval to pass extremely restrictive abortion laws, without push back from the WH. They know that the deck is being stacked with anti-choice at the Supreme Court level, with the prospect of overturning federal law. The WH is even pushing its anti-choice agenda internationally, with its push at the UN to veto bills on provision of reproductive health services in conflict zones and its refusal to fund any health initiatives that include a component of reproductive health, just in case that should also fund abortions.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0
