The worst and best case scenarios are both horrible, but that's been acknowledged since Nov. 2016.

Didn’t you say 18 months? So no it wasn’t acknowledged by everyone.

I did. That was best case scenario, which was horrible. But less horrible than him remaining in office.

I am no fan of the man. He is a liar, cheat, meglaniac, and con man. He is not a Republican either.

With that said, the country isn’t worse today then when he took office. People argue he has hurt us on the world stage. My question is then why are they accepting his trade deals? The economy is booming, which I rarely give presidents credit or fault for, but he made actual changes to drive the economy. Intrest rates are ticking up which is good when viewed through the prism that the economy is still booming. Yes I know that’s not his call, and he has been critical of it, but the net result is positive. Pay checks have gone up.

I hate his budget. I hate that he wants a stupid wall that will achieve nothing.

What has been bad these last two years?

Climate change. Damn you Trump.

 

[lawgator1]

I think it's safe to say that we will hear nothing of official goings on until mid November. Just the usual speculation from the usual suspects.

Having a national embarrassment as our president would be one thing.

What’s been bad? His tweets?

But we had the biggest embarrassment in presidential history from 2008-2016. And yet we survived.

That's a very fair and level headed assessment.

I would add that I hate his views on education and the climate. And I despise his views on the appropriate distribution of wealth and power.

That and ketchup, diet cokes, ice cream scoops and probably boofing. You know Luther, Mickey and EL, they are stiil butthurt since 2016. Every single theiry to take down Trump has failed. Their hurt over Kavanaugh is still fresh. They have to find something to cling to.

Ah socialism. The department of education needs to go. Climate change is a natural cycle. But I guess you have a tinfoil hat on and listen to Al Gore. Maybe manbearpig is causing climate change. Lol.

Remember... Luther thinks life is supposed to be fair. And when it isn't fair it has to artificially be made fair because of feelings.

I’m gonna guess Luther isn’t high on the potential earnings scale and he views this as a major sleight due to his vast intellect and I’m sure he feels unjustly rewarded for his social and political contributions. Thus socialism is his method to right this highly unjust wrong he has been dealt by dragging everybody else down to his level.

And that’s how I think most self proclaimed socialists view the world. They could care less about social equality. They merely view it as the only means their dumb useless asses can break even with the rest of us.

Not all completely untrue.

It's more about the appropriateness of greed and self enrichment as one's primary motivator and the motivators which are encouraged and rewarded by the economic system.

I bet that sounded good in your head.

Greed is good, it's the reason we have such a high standard of living.

Luther is a socialist/marxist. His views on wealth distribution are radical.

As soon as someone says greed is good, that's all I need to hear.

It’s only radical to the ones that have it , the ones that don’t find it to be a wonderful idea lol

Edit: except for Bernie I just think he doesn’t realize that he’s one of the 1%ers he keeping talking about .

Without greed we would still be living in the dark ages.

I’ll take that as a “you nailed it ND”

And you live by the "ignorance is bliss" motto.
