it wasn't all terrible. he had some decent talking points about infrastructure and jobs. but really, I get a little tired of him saying he is going to bring MILLIONS OF JOBS back to america. he never says how he is going to do this. and that is a massive claim.
he actually said he was going to protect all americans, muslims, christians, etc (notice how he said muslims first? doubt that was coincidence). but it was kind of crazy how he said RADICAL. ISLAMIC. TERRORISM. very blunt and accentuated.
but that VOICE shit was a disgrace.
I tried to look at the Navy SEAL Ryan thing objectively. I doubt Obama would have said anything like that. I doubt any actual politician, right or left, would have said something like that. He's a businessman. He says things that he thinks are positive that can have a creepy or slightly disrespectful undertone to it, but I don't think his heart was in the wrong place. I think he was thinking it was a sweet comment, not that Ryan is "happy to be dead". Just saying he's smiling down on the crowd for getting so much appreciation.
what country(ies) was he talking about when he said America was going to be friends with former enemies/war opponents?
look, this was not a spectacular speech. was he actually presidential? more so that he ever has been, so that's a positive. however, he was reading a prepared speech by design. no room for him to come out and say anything nonsensical or anything to rile up the other side. I highly doubt this is indicitive of any substantial change in how he's going to conduct himself, but that remains to be seen.
It's funny how each side spins the "situation we inherited" every new administration. I honestly believe that Obama inherited a mess. I don't believe Trump did. But whatever makes your base salivate, I guess.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

Careful Buck, if you voted Trump or agree with any of Trump's policies means you are a racist bigot anti-Semite disgrace of a human being on the AMT forum... They will label you so fast around here it will make your head spin. I know from experience. I have found it's best not to post too often here but you can do as you please.

Bunch of suckers.
I mean sure... people might have fairly pointed out that Trump supporters might not be the brightest stars in the sky, but they haven't categorically gone as far as you have stated.

I don't give a shit either, it's a natural result of the White House being a residence, why is there a couch in there at all?mrussel1 said:

Oh, I think it was great. Definitely in my top 3 HBO series. I also thought Rome was spectacular. Was disappointed that it ended so soon.Jason P said:0 -
Not only is she perched on the sofa... she's on her phone playing Candy Crush. It makes her look like a spoiled teenager.Kat said:Who acts like that at work? She says she's a professional...show that then.
And I don't think those two images are equal and I don't think President Obama should have posed for that one either.
For the photo and given this party's ridiculous image... it might have been reasonable to strike a pose with the rest of the idiots and 'get comfy' afterwards.
I don't give a shit really. I just think it's par for the course with this gaggle of clods. The Cletuses cannot be deterred in any way, shape or form with this fool. He's blatantly corrupt. He's a pathological liar. He's potentially treasonous. Hes racist. He's a sex offender. And... he's orange. The simpletons remain optimistic though: it's time for a change!
And did I read correctly? Tax breaks for corporations? If so... hahahahahahaha! Cletus should feel that change I'm sure.
F**king ridiculous."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

From the dossier
“Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years”
we're not even talking about the tape.
It's the illegal shit that will bring him down, not his policies.
Don't be distracted

I support him because Americans elected him and he is our now our president. I voted for him because I thought he was a better option than Hillary. That doesn't mean I'm aligned with him on every issue though. This means I'm a stupid racist?
Yes it does mean you are a racist. You are the company you keep.

That sounds exactly like what myself and the rest of the progressives/democrats have been saying since 2002 when Cowboy Georgie and his cronies robbed the country blind via "regime change" in the middle east... haliburton... no bid contracts...

US(A) FIRST.
u betta believe it. No more new highways built with AMERICAN tax dollars in foreign countries while ours crumble.
Now all of the sudden the Republicans want to get on that train after all the damage is done and trillions are spent/stolen in their neocon foreign escapades lol

Great headline... "Trump Tries On Normal".
I for one would welcome normal at this point.

No, you won't be labelled if you support trump or his policies. What happens is people tend to get labelled after they try and explain how and why they support trump's racism and xenophobia. It comes out in their explanation. Since you're not racist, maybe you cam explain how you can support someone who is and whose policies are founded in prejudice?j1kotwic said:

Conservatives:
Is it "Buy American"... or is it "Free Market"
Because the free market theory you guys have been selling me for decades tells me the thing to do is buy the best product for the best price, period, creating organic competition which theoreticaly benefits everyone.
I thought us progressives were all about "Fair Trade", buy I saw a lot of conservative cheering on the bafoon when he tauted fair trade and didn't have much to say about free markets
I'm getting a little confused lol

Watching the conservative reaction to trump's trade policies is pretty amusing. They don't really know what the outcomes will be or the economic effects, but you know, America first and all.my2hands said:Conservatives:
