The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

Alright Tim, I see you're satisfied and convinced Trump is doing a bang up job. At this point, since there's nothing left to discuss, I'll 'stop ******** on your thread' and let you lean back and bask in Trump's accomplishments.
 
Be interesting to see how many Republican obstructionists (i.e. cowards) will get taken out in the primary. Remember Eric Cantor.
My own Rep is Keith Rothfus and although he is a good Conservative that I don't have a problem with, his support of Trump was sort of tepid. Sen. Toomey was better than the alternative but he didn't endorse Trump until literally election day and he barely won reelection. He's one of the Republicans who are part of the problem.

Forgot this accomplishment, President Trump lifting little Hillary while she gazes in wonderment, at all that is the political process--good times!

There's differences between you and I Tibs (countless, I know). I'm a realist. I realize that no President - EVER - delivers on 100% of their promises. I realize that no President ever accomplishes in 100 days what they set out to do. I realize that no President ever does not lie.

Now that that table is set, Trump has fared as his predecessors have. He's got unfulfilled promises, he's told some lies, he's not 100% done on his agenda - not even close. Again, no different than any President before.

Again, being realistic, when you look at his actual accomplishments, he HAS been much more effective in getting things done in his short term than most of his predecessors. I've documented this. 30 Executive Orders to Obama's 19 in the first 100 days. 13 CRAs, more than any President. He's passed more legislation in 100 days than any President since Truman. Again, since Truman, no President has enacted more laws (28) in his first 100 days since Truman. Illegal immigration is at a 17 year low. Job-killing regulations have been demolished. The markets soar.

As previously stated: “Even if there are not many major tangible accomplishments, [Trump’s] administration has changed the political and cultural trajectory of the country — not as much as FDR did following Herbert Hoover, but more than the average new president does.”

You Progressives apparently only like your forms of Progress. He is indeed making Progress. Just not your flavor.
 
Trump has sucked *** on delivering on his agenda. I know he has all of DC against him, but you have to have a clear head and look at the results. He is finally getting involved in selling the healthcare bill. Until now he ******* sits there and says - I have a pen! Bring me something and I'll sign it! WTF is that? I get it. He probably assumed that after 8 years of bitching, they probably had something good. But they didn't.

Lets not give him a pass on this. I think he is waking up, but it has taken a long time.

There's a rumor that dementia riddled Maxine Waters (Crazy Aunt Esther) wants to run for Pres in 2020! Ha ha, how great would that be?

Trump needs to get Congress to enact legislation on health care, major tax revisions, infrastructure upgrades, and continue downsizing the Federal government. The sooner the better.

If Trump's presidency is going so well, how does the realist Tim explain Trump's anger and blaming of everyone else. Why is he complaining so much? And why didn't we see this behavior from past presidents?

That's an easy one. All other Presidents had been a complicit in the mess that is deep state Washington.Trump is the first President that doesn't play that. He first exposed the MSM for the corrupt propaganda machine that it is. Now he is exposing the corrupt Washington political machine. Do you think they are just going to go along with it?

USPS broke law in allowing workers to boost Clinton campaign

694940094001_5512806204001_5512794278001-vs.jpg


The United States Postal Service violated federal law by letting employees do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton's campaign and other Democratic candidates while on leave from the agency, according to an Office of Special Counsel report obtained by Fox News.

The OSC determined the USPS "engaged in systemic violations" of the Hatch Act, a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees.

While employees are allowed to do some political work on leave, the report said the Postal Service showed a "bias" favoring the union's 2016 campaign operation.

According to the report, 82 percent of the work took place in 2016 battleground states: Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

As a Washington outsider, Trump needed one who knew the ropes for guidance. Sessions was an unlikely Trump supporter during the campaign. Makes perfectly good sense on the surface. However, there may be some things that surfaced which have changed that opinion.

It is **** like this that will never get media coverage, let alone prosecution.Business as usual at the DNC.
 
The U.S. Can Now Ship Rice to China for the First Time

After 10 years of negotiation, the US can now sell Rice to China.

The U.S. can now ship rice to China for the first time ever, signaling a win for President Donald Trump in his efforts to reshape the trade relationship just after talks between the nations broke down Wednesday.

Officials from the nations finalized a protocol to allow for the first-ever American shipments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Thursday in a statement. China is the world’s biggest rice consumer, importer and producer.

The rice deal comes just a month after China reopened its market to U.S. beef imports for the first time in more than a decade and is the latest in a flurry of trade negotiations between the nations. China is also approving more biotech products and increasing U.S. natural gas imports.

Next Trump will be selling sand to the Arabs. I knew the boy was good.

Really? You call it blaming. We call it having a fighter in the WH that calls out the corruption that infests Washington and the media. Thank God. And if you don't see that working (just see the trouble CNN is in, see what happens to some of these Congressmen-for-life at the next midterms), I can't help ya.

I'm glad he's bitching and calling **** out. We've needed that since politics became a career for individual gain.

It is **** like this that Liberals (our own house Liberals to boot) will never show outrage over either. Remember the IRS? Remember the Clintons' collusion with Russia? Remember Whitewater? Remember Lewinsky? They don't care until it's not their player at the wheel.

He'd better get rid of a lot of bureaucrats before they get rid of him though. Trump ain't draining that swamp fast enough.

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer:

We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain? We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same.

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-*****. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum, then Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent ********, I read your book!” That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics.

That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do.

First, instead of going after “the fake media” – and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri – Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal. Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”

Everyone gets that it’s not just CNN – in fact, in a world where Al Sharpton and Rachel Maddow, Paul Krugman and Nicholas Kristof are people of influence and whose “reporting” is in no way significantly different than CNN’s – CNN is just a piker.

Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. With Trump’s ability to go around them, they cannot simply stand pat. They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices.

They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s, church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

This makes “going high” a non-starter for CNN. This leaves them no other option but to ratchet up the fake news, conjuring up the next “nothing burger” and devoting 24 hours a day to hysterical rants about how it’s “worse than Nixon.”

This, obviously, is what CNN has chosen to do. The problem is that, as they become more and more hysterical, they become more and more obvious. Each new effort at even faker news than before and faker “outrage” only makes that much more clear to any objective observer that Trump is and always has been right about the fake news media.

And, by causing their hysteria, Trump has forced them into numerous, highly embarrassing and discrediting mistakes. Thus, in their desperation, they have lowered their standards even further and run with articles so clearly fake that, even with the liberal (lower case “l”) libel laws protecting the media, they’ve had to wholly retract and erase their stories repeatedly.

Their flailing at Trump has even seen them cross the line into criminality, with CNN using their vast corporate fortune to hunt down a private citizen for having made fun of them in an Internet meme. This threat to “dox” – release of personal information to encourage co-ideologists to visit violence upon him and his family -- a political satirist was chilling in that it clearly wasn’t meant just for him. If it were, there would have been no reason for CNN to have made their “deal” with him public.

Instead, CNN – playing by “Chicago Rules” – was sending a message to any and all: dissent will not be tolerated.

This heavy-handed and hysterical response to a joke on the Internet has backfired on CNN, giving rise to only more righteous ridicule.

So, to my friends on the Left – and the #NeverTrumpers as well -- do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president – I get it, he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights.

 
I was at the gym yesterday on the elliptical watching CNN (it is what was on, can't change the channel). They had Allisyn Camerota on there, pimping her new book "Amanda wakes Up." Basically, it is a book about Camerota. Well she says she left Fox News because she was tired of working in an echo chamber where everyone had the same point of view, and the balance was manufactured and not real.

My first thought was "So you left what you call and echo chamber for CNN, feeling it had balance?" I was amazed she said it with a straight face. Then I laughed. Heartily.
