Kind of like those repub senators that knew and know Team Trump Treason is guilty but were too afraid to vote their conscience. No moral center or principles, just a slow swirl down the shitter. Can’t wait for the shoe to be on the other foot and on the other foot it will be. When the fruit from the poisonous tree will really be ripe and sweet.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

Really? Are we closer to de-nuking NK? Iran? Are the Palestinians at the table? How about Yemeni war? Are we strategically better positioned in Syria? There are no strategic successes. None. Not one. An assassination is not a strategic success.BS44325 said:

And the NAFTA is pretty much a farce. Exiting TPP was a disaster. And the tariffs have not worked in China.
But hey your retirement is great, but our debt and deficit isn't your problem, it's ours. And the tax breaks that created this last gasp run is responsible for the exploding debt.
So you'll have to forgive me if I don't see these stupid 'wins' as actual wins for my family.0 -

We are closer to none but definitely better positioned. You see you seem to forget that I operate from a pre-election position that the world is going to hell. That it would take a miracle to get out of these problems. Accompanying that position was that the status quo was destined for failure. That a disruptor was necessary as a hail mary pass. Trump is the disruptor. I placed the odds of his success very low but thought he had some underlying characteristics that could be used to his advantage. This is happening. Does that mean these problems are solved? Hell no. But when you ask about positioning? Absolutely. Dialogue is open with North Korea...better position. Iran is on the ropes right now. Soleimani dead. Strict sanctions that finally have worldwide buy-in are crushing their economy and preventing funding of Hamas, Hezbollah and those in Yemen...better position. The Arab world is supportive of these moves and support Trump’s plan for Israel. With Iranian funding drying up pressure is now on Palestinians to come to table...better position. Big Al Qaeda figure got knocked out in Yemen yesterday and Iranian funding plus Soleimani help gone...better position. ISIS essentially eliminated, bagdahdi dead, Iran playing defense so with respect to Syria...better position. Is any of this victory? Absolutely not. But is 100% better position. It’s a new long game with limited use of troops. Just transactions on the ground.mrussel1 said:

We shouldn’t have ceded those relationships, alliances and markets. It’s too late. The US can’t be trusted. We have almost no allies and we’re becoming an island unto ourselves.

yo. this is YOUR fault.lindamarie73 said:
Well, I was not surprised one bit by the way her whole party has treated him since day one never even giving him a chance. I would have liked to seen it be more cordial of a interaction , but that is not one of his strong suits obviously. Hopefully these politicians can now get back to work and be done with all the non sense and be helpful to the President in keeping America Great.cincybearcat said:
What did you think of baby trump refusing to shake Pelosi's hand?lindamarie73 said:Can Nancy Pelosi Have served up on a platter anymore the assurance of a 2020 Victory for President Trump ???That tearing up the speech stunt last night might as well have been her tearing up her whole career...I am still laughing about it. I cannot wait to hear what she has to say today when the President gets acquitted....Will she take anymore bait??? Happy days are here to stay....Bristow 05132010 to Amsterdam 2 061320180 -
The bald faced LIES, the SHAMELESS VICTIMIZATION, and PROJECTION is what bothers me.
I thought her ripping that speech up was what 79% of America would have liked to do. The other 21% likes this video.
