President* Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

To say we were disappointed is an understatement.

"Trump’s incessant bragging, his lack of empathy or remorse, his pathological lying© and even his bizarre appearance have been signs of an unstable personality."
I thought he sounded and looked like any other politician, Dem or GOP. Hillary was no better.

"It was obvious to many of us that something was not right...."
The only thing obvious to you libs (and if you ain't a lib, you're a liar) and really pissed you off was; He doesn't believe in killing babies, he doesn't believe pedophiles in dresses should be allowed in ladies restrooms, and he spoke his mind, rather than sugar-coat his words.
No breathing person could be that clueless. It's less ridiculous to say Trump might be an excellent President than to say he's like "any other politician." No rational person in the world, and certainly not Trump himself would say that. There has never been a person elected to high office who has done or said the things Trump has, nor who has made the types of proposals he has, who has been as poorly informed on significant issues as he is, who is as poor as staying on a line of thought as he is, or who has lied so much on matters easily proven to be a lie. Maybe similar outliers are Rob Ford and Maine Gov LePage, but they're not national office. You might notice also that Trump gets scorn from both left and right.

As to why "libs" don't like Trump (other than the reasons above), have little to do with baby killing or with pedophiles. Look at immigration policy; look at statements on civil rights; look at education policy; environmental policy; look at his hires; look at his conflicts of interest. The list is extensive and would go on for pages before we got to the baby killing and pedophiles. Trump is certainly not a champion of LGBT issues, but he's not much of an active opposer, either. In both that issue as well as abortion, he was much more in line with Dems than in the positions he took recently to appeal to the hard right.

"Speaking ones mind" is a positive attribute only if what is said makes sense. I'll bet you wouldn't find a person admirable who "speaks his mind" in support of issues you oppose. You'd oppose him whether he "speaks his mind" or not.

:lol: Mr.B is so stupid that he actually thinks there are only 3 points on the political spectrum - lib, moderate and con. He really needs to find a middle school, non-home skooled, C-student to explain the basics of Civics to him, using small words. No wonder he's so utterly befuddled about abortion, transgenders, President* Trump's stance on both, pedophiles and President* Trump being one, and President* Trump's forthrightness.

I don't think he understands "moderate". Or that not everybody who might be comfortable with the "lib" label thinks alike on all issues. He says he has no interest in politics, which is fine, but then he participates in the political topics. Besides, there are more than one measure of political position - there's the issue of what you think, and also the issue of how important it is to you. There's also a continuum on most issues. F'rinstance on his favorite abortion issue, a person could be (a) totally opposed to all abortion for any reason; (b) opposed to abortion except for rape/incest; (c)opposed to abortion after a certain point in gestation; (d) opposed to abortion personally, but unwilling to make it illegal for others; (e) in favor of abortion law as it exists, but doesn't care much about the issue; (f) in favor of abortion law as it exists, and is active in trying to protect it; (g) thinks current law is too restrictive and wants all non-medical restrictions repealed...etc. And that's just a summary of just one issue. People such as Mr.B want to have only anti-abortionists and everyone else is baby-killers.

Mr.B is simply defines anyone he disagrees with as left/liberal/Democrat. Even when their position is far more conservative or traditional Republican than his own.

And Mr.B: That's not meant as an insult. It's something you undeniably do on a daily basis.

Let's get it on!

25th. Amendment to The Constitution of the United States:
Section 4

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

I never vote more than once- even if that was possible- but I took the survey 3 separate times.

No surprise that President* Trump's web team is too incompetent to keep you from doing that.

Canada has returned to its traditional role in Europe:
“It’s easier for the Canadians to speak to the Americans,” European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said during a joint press conference with Trudeau on Thursday in Strasbourg.

Indeed, explaining America has long been Canada’s role. The Europeans regard us, if they think about us at all, as the sane North Americans.

We may not be as interesting as Americans. But at least we can articulate the unfathomable enthusiasms that, from time to time, enslave them.
