But the thing is, Trump isn't doing something good like curing cancer. The things he's being criticized for are hardly all that altruistic.


But isn't the parody suggesting that in the eyes of leftist media, Trump can do no good whatsoever? That even his positive accomplishments will be given a negative spin?

I mean it seems like a lot of journalists and 40% of the nation would rather swallow drain cleaner, than admit Trump did something good.


What accomplishments? I can't think of anything.


And I seriously doubt you would accept any examples anyone provided. That's the whole point. Adamant fixed mindset.

No it's evidence based. So far all he has down is either ineffectual or deserving of scorn. I have seen no sign of that changing any time soon.

Stephen Miller, one of the President's advisers:



Miller said the courts engaged in "usurpation" of the President's power when they struck down Trump's Muslim ban order. He also said on the same subject, "The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the President to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned."

He said also, "And the bottom line is the President's powers in this area represent the apex of executive authority."

He said, "We will have unquestioned military strength beyond anything anybody can imagine."

And, finally, on Trump's unsubstantiated allegations that widespread voter fraud was why he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, he said, "It is a fact--and you will not deny it--that there are massive numbers of non-citizens in this country who are registered to vote. That is a scandal. We should stop the presses! ... That's the story we should be talking about, and I'm prepared to go on any show, anywhere, anytime and repeat it and say the President of the United States is correct one hundred percent!"

Talk about dramatic statements. Is this what we have to deal with? Why is it that the worst keep coming into power? :(

He represents interests of mine and many other people's that were callously dismissed out of hand as racist or stupid or crazy, getting ridiculed/belittled/ignored like that because your interests do not match those of the overeducated cosmopolitan elite naturally lends itself to generating a lot resentment which is why Trump's combative personality doesn't bother me because I see him as doing battle against my enemies on my behalf.

In other words, petty tribalism/emotivism. Conservatives vote for trump because liberals hurt their delicate little feelings. In what real way is Trump helping you? You know he and the Republicans want to throw a lot of people with chronic illnesses off a cliff by repealing the affordable care act and not replacing it with anything that will guarantee affordable coverage to those with "pre-existing conditions". Oh, well, who cares. Keeping Mexicans out is more important than preventing sick people from dying. I suppose you don't give a s**t about real issues like this because they don't effect you (yet). You're young and healthy.

Quote:
Most Republicans played ball, most Republicans are not really the issue but rather a relatively small but very powerful group that we came to know as 'NeverTrumpers' which were mainly neoconservatives. Neoconservatives represent an extremist foreign policy married with globalism and have embedded themselves in the upper levels of our government/military/'intelligence community', it should be no surprise that the NeverTrumper Evan McMullin was a CIA agent. I believe that the CIA effectively has governed this country for decades, since at least the time of Reagan's election and probably long before that too. The media isn't focusing on the 'average' Republicans in Trump's administration, they are targeting people like Steve Bannon/Stephen Miller/Michael Flynn who challenge the status quo. I am very upset about what has happened with General Flynn and believe the saboteurs responsible should be made an example out of, these people are the reason why things never change in this country. FWIW I think Rex Tillerson from what I know was a great choice for Secretary of State, I support what Betsy DeVos wants to do to education so I do not have an issue with her nomination, I do not care if they are 'plutocrats' if their interests intersect with mine. Trump has been true to his word so far, we'll see how it goes because eventually we can stop speculating about fears and what you might think will happen since then we will actions that will go along with these words.

This boogyman "globalism" has never been effectively defined for me. Why don't you say exactly what you are talking about without spamming it with Info Wars buzz-words. What is "globalism". Define it.[/quote]

As I understand it, Lena Dunham had kissed her baby sibling on the mouth when she was hardly more than a baby. Then in her teen years had masturbated in the same bedroom with the same sibling. Hardly pedophilia by any definition, save that of vindictive right wingers who keep having to bring Dunham up whenever a morally priggish far right conservative proves to have feet of clay on moral issues.

I think everyone knows he's not a pedophile. This is just a case of the right showing their true homophobic colors, and using the pedophilia crap as a pretext to drop him because they don't approve of his lifestyle.

The right just wanted to have someone on their side that they can point to whenever they're called homophobic. That and offending liberals are the only reason they ever elevated that guy.

I don't like Trump the Dump and I'm secretly (not really) hoping he drops dead of a stroke so that he can't ruin things more than they already are. And every time I hear his supporters blabber about these "evil" immigrants or how they think he'll fix our financial situation just because he's a greedy rich guy it makes me want to puke. This guy exploited racism and sexism to get elected and I'm of the belief that he may screw the United States up worse than everybody thinks Obama or Bush did.

Remember 4-5 years ago when the left tried to boycot chick-fil-A and as a result it boosted the hell out of their sales for a while?
