is there seriously a chance he could be impeached? He was voted in so he should be our president end of story. media is so fucked up it just shows me you gotta be somewhere in the middle, Democrats are just as fucked up as Republicans the further you get to each side.

CAreful Mike there are a ton of fake news articles out about everything, to smear and delegitimize our president bc the democrats are still butt hurt about losing the will of the people, on a mass scale. Was it snopes or the Washington post that said trump removed mlks bust from the White House? I'd say 90% of the news out there is fake or at least heavily slanted, as the press has taken upon themselves to be the guiding voice of the opposition party. Yes the press should keep presidents honest by doing their jobs, but at this point in obummers presidency it was still a disgusting love fest iirc. Seek and search for fact and do not trust fake news like buzzfeed and CNN!!
 
I'd say we are right around a week away from mass fake stories about internal conflict in the trump cabinet. That is next on the medias agenda to stop him. I truly am excited for what is happening, minus all the far right conservatives and their anti abortion shit. Silencers are about to be declassified so I don't have to ruin my hearing If I have to ever use my gun. The best part is strengthening our border and just having someone with common sense in the wh, and not some pet for the master class, Doing their biddings. I.e. Bush and obama
 
Trump is surely for a master class and not the people....maybe not the same corporate club that Hillary belonged to.

He will surely put his children and company above all else...and his billionaire friends.

Wha is so for the people about decreasing taxes on the mega rich and taking away programs to help poor people....telling poor ppl don't worry....there will be bigly great jobs for you isn't enough these day.

Trump is doing what is best for the masses and the economy at large. Fuck dependency on the government, it is a plague that must be stopped!
 
^ unfortunately there are not enough jobs for everyone like there were in the 50's.

until that happens the government should take care of the people living in the economy they fucked up with their greed.
 
Trump's a decadent, obnoxious, billionaire playboy.
He's the embodiment (along with his cabinet) of the system that has fucked working americans for decades.

You'd have to be pretty gullible to perpetuate his lies.

I am amazed that people actually bought his bullshit. How is a man like Trump a man of the people? Tax cuts for the rich. More trickle down economics. Yeah that works lol. It just puts more money into the hands of the wealthy. They dont spend it. Every dollar given to a poor person gets spent and flows back into the economy.

But its the look blame the poor politics of the rich that the middle classes keep buying.....and meanwhile the rich get richer...the poor get the picture.
 
He was elected fairly and democratically. This is what he was about in the campain and even in his entire public life.

So the majority of Americans must be pleased to have him in charge.

I dont see why there is all this angst and worry now. The American system does allow someone who has zero political experience and the reputation of a horses anus to become commander in chief and thats what has happened.

It will be an eye opener for him though, hes just a piblic servant now- a cog in the wheel of the bureaucracy machine. Governments exist to just do as little as possible and retain power, not actually do anything.
 
^ get used it. i think you're going to start to see a lot of actions which cause you to pause and think "hmm. this isn't what i thought i was getting..."

it's already started and i can only see it getting worse.

The left in America are generally the proponents of large centralized government. I'm not a fan of trumps proposed infrastructure spending bill. Doesn't sound conservative to me!

What about a large DEA, NSA, prison system, etc? It seems the conservatives in this country have no problem with large government in that sense. So let's end this lie that conservatives hate big government. They just hate the areas of government that even remotely promote public welfare.

Note that I think there is a lot less actual disagreement on welfare than is commonly portrayed. Liberals don't like handing out money to people who don't work either. Conservatives want good health care. Yet we never seem to discuss areas of agreement.
 
The one thing I can agree with the young turks on is that money needs to get out of politics. Until then our choices will pretty much be between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

government makes the largest expansions under "conservatives" (regressives, really). reagan made massive expanisons of both debt and government size, and i dont even have to mention how much it expanded under dubya, with the creation of the TSA, DHS, and the massive surveillance networks of the DEA and NSA. "conservatives" love having an authoritarian "big government", so long as they're the ones controlling it. government size shrunk under both clinton and obama.

We can definitely agree here. Money in politics only corrupts. People who give money always want a return on their investment whether its indirect or direct.
