Thats very impressive and here was me thinking Bush was back on his ranch riding his mountain bike around as he liked todo.

The one thing I have noticed with you is almost the ironclad belief that the 2008 financial crash never happened or had no bearing on the economy. I mean, it's very much accepted that poverty levels increased dramatically due to the crash and that explains the increase in food stamp usage and the horrible economy that Obama had to deal with. Yet, you claim it was almost entirely Obama's fault and that he himself "added 10 million people to food stamps" Tell me, what was the name of the President at the time of the crash?

Meawhile this week TRump supporters will celebrate the DOW, S&P and NASDAQ hitting record highs. Thats in the history books too. And Im very confident a booming stock market wins more votes in 2020 than a house resolution.

Thats already in the History books. Who can forget when Obama referred to them as the JV of terrorist groups.. junior varsity

The newly thought up excuse, the "strategy" isn't going to work and I'd imagine his campaign people will urge him to attack a better line and length, divide of course, be outrageous of course, but he needs to pick a better target, gonna be a tough one for him but with his reality TV nous I won't count him out yet. A racist tough talking yet ultimately cowardly president, offended by every perceived critique, and a fanbase who are equally sensitive if not more, hilarious. Why do you call him cowardly

It's pointless. Once brainwashed they stick to their opinion, it's 101 psychology. Trump and the disfunctional administration he created are way beyond any sober discourse among political minded people. Even worse, when I read international news, even beyond the English language reach, I still see journalists grabbling to interpret Trump, to treat him as the president of the US, meaning to take him seriously. I'm sick of it, and I'm fed up with all the distraction discussions on boards o other social media. I'm sure most of you see him for what he is, but there is still the respect for an office that really doesn't exist anymore. Trump is a demented moron, in place of more explicit attributes, he is dangerous not because of his non-existent policies, but because of his personal grievances. That's all what it is about.I'm German, I'm well educated about fascism, probably better than most of you who defend Trump. To put it very simply: Hitler didn't have any well thought-out policies either, he was just a disgruntled old git with a penchant for young submissive and very blonde women and a hatred for people who were, well, "other". What he was good at was firing up hatred among his equally disgruntled followers, dividing the populace and finally killing everyone who didn't love him. But for years everyone was delighted because "the economy was great" again. Until it wasn't, in 1945. Sounds familiar? Maybe the comparison sounds a bit exaggerated to some of you. But I think it's not. Trump should not be interpreted, should not be excused. He should be called out for what he is: A demented danger to the world as long as the executive power of his government refuses to see beyond their partisan interests. Fo all I care the US can go down the sewer of history. But unfortunately they can do (did and still do) a lot of destruction to the whole world we live in.I want Trump gone. And in the most disgraceful way ever. And while I'm at it, I want the US as a "world power" gone. With all their bigotry, hatred and racism.
And while I'm at it, I want the US as a "world power" gone.

Considering America was the nation whose belated entry into WW2 brought about the ultimate demise of Hitler. moving on ... This was the masterpiece of TRumps actions this week, this was why the tweets and press conference were so seismic. They have forced not only Democrats but also anti-TRumpers and liberals to finally pin their true colours to the mast. Just as The Squad have been exposed for their hatred of America and hte Democrat party has chosen to back their hatred of the nation 3 of 4 were born in. The anti-TRumpers are also declaring their hatred for America..

There's a clear lack of Trump sympathetic voices in this thread, but you aren't it. At best his blurting out was accidentally racist, too stupid to realise 3 of the 4 'Squad' were born in the US - at worst he let the mask slip. There is no 4D chess here, no matter how much you want it to be the case. You would call the "Anti-TRumpers" the hysterical ones yet here you are, blathering masterpieces over a clearly racist tweet. Well done. Your fan worship of Trump is frankly makes you intractable, and going by your previous posts pillorying those who don't wear cheap metal pins on their collars as "Anti American", or that those following the American Dream should be mocked, you have no intention on being civil, mature or reasoned. I had you blocked but people insist on replying to your posts, even though it's clear you would rather move the goalposts on racism that admit that Your Man is a poor human being.

Professor Moriarty wrote: » There was a good point made on this in an article in Reuters today. essentially, Republicans in the Senate and House are terrified of crossing Trump due to his vindictive nature. Apparently, the belief is that he never forgets if you disagree with him and makes sure to tweet negatively about you when he can do the most damage.
Danzy wrote: » Trump's only aim was to force the Democratic Party to get behind the Squad and to make them the face of the Democrats. He has succeeded in that, with just a few tweets. Pelosi must be bucking with anger, she was trying to insulate the party from them, no chance now. It also makes these 4 more important than most of the nominees, the telegenic loony wing, who the electorate really dislike. Biden Harris,Sanders must be raging that so much attention is given to them as well. They know it will cost them votes. Trump will do or say anything to increase the Squads profile and make the Democrats publicly rally around them. This will be the first of many spats he'll engineer between them, the only thing he'll ask is what will get them on the news and raise their profile.

The Dems debates will start in earnest soon and the attention will be on the candidates. Epstein, Mueller, Stone - all of these things will move matters along very quickly. Don't get me wrong - Fox will fixate as usual on these ladies, but their audience are lost to the voice of reason anyway. A reminder - they are four votes. Only the Trump faithful could equate that to being the "face of the Democrats".
