    We can all reel of the list of Fake Don's phony campaign promises for America - rebuilding the nations crumbling infrastructure, enacting a national healthcare system that is "something terrific!" that "covers everybody!" at "less cost!", building his signature "big, beautiful wall!" along the Southern border that he would make Mexico pay for, etc., etc., etc.

    Possibly, he has been distracted by feeling honorbound to keep his repeated vow to release his tax returns, a traditional disclosure by all presidential candidates. Presumably, he's still working on that one before he gets to all the others.

    Of course, two years of the GOP monopoly of the executive and legislative branches of government greatly facilitated his promise-keeping.

    He has exacerbated and exploited regional, racial, and ideological divisions in an increasingly diverse America for the entertainment of those who snivel at such harmonious aspirations as E Pluribus Unum and abhor patriotic cohesion.

    Rutting with paid-off bimbos behind the backs of trophy wives has set the tone for such moral commitment. Integrity up the wazoo!

    Meanwhile, on the international front, his claims read like a Trump® U promotional brochure.

    [​IMG]
    "We fell in love, OK? No, really, he wrote me beautiful letters,
    and they’re great letters. We fell in love!”


    His mutual testicle-squeezing contest with Xi Jinping plays like a classic Vince McMahon pay-per-view ballbuster.

    Will Xi finally cry 叔叔!and call off China's climate change hoax?

    Stay tuned.

    His Soviet forebears broke the Evil Empire in futile attempts to vanquish democracy.

    Vlady has had enormous success on the cheap.

    I see you ran into a wall trying to discredit my statement.

    Pro tip. If you call someone a racist, you automatically win.

    Voter exhaustion will defeat Trump. Every day is a day of chaos and unsavory revelation. Most Americans want to live quiet, productive, lives surrounded by family and agreeable relationships. Trump is the antithesis. The question for 2020 will be, "Do you want four more years of this?"

    You blurted the usual mindless ideological parrot squawk.

    Please try to specifically address Trump's aforementioned achievements nationally and internationally.

    Indeed. "Squalid" can only hope to succeed if it is subtle.

    Trump's relentless assault on American values is far too "in your face."

    Failure? Don't kid yourself. Trump is doing exactly what the American people has elected him to do. To take us back to a time before the Obama presidency.

    1. The economy has reverse courses and reached levels not seen since Obama took office

    2. Got out of disasterous Iran deal.

    3. Foster an environment that discourages illegal immigration

    4. Create an economy that brings the Greatest Generation back in the work force

    5. Exposed the divide in the Democratic party

    6. Repealed socialist policies like Obamacare one step at a time

    Posts like this make me fill me with apathy for Democrats and the few and diminishing good they stand for.

    I think that’s true.

    Not only did the El Paso shooting effectively disarm Trump from his most reliable theme, but he also drew attention to his other shortcomings; the infantile name calling and personal attacks, and his utter carelessness and lack of empathy (as the folks of Toledo know).

    He found himself trapped in his own behavior and rhetoric.

    So when he went to do what every other President would do, pay condolences, he was not particularly welcome, and he did his best to avoid the public.

    But first he played golf.

    MAGA, the Moscow Asset Governing America, is doing more than he ever could have hoped for, I'm sure, to destroy this country from the inside-out. The violent right, i.e. the domestic terrorists who are actually out killing and maiming people for political reasons, are also doing their part to contribute to this. All people on the left are doing is what every other sensible person is doing - watching in horror and sometimes reacting with emotion to the terrible spectacle unfolding before us.

    Internationally he's a joke. And I don't mean they don't take him as seriously as they should - I mean they are literally laughing at him. He's accomplished nothing to make the world a better place and repeatedly reneges on deals. The Middle East is less safe than it was when he started as a once contained Iran is now enriching uranium again. North Korea is launching increasingly sophisticated rockets.

    Allies don't trust him. Adversaries don't fear him. Neither side respects him.

    At home he's a racist who's ineffective at any policy other than giving his lot a tax break. He's ignoring serious risks to US democracy from Russia and white supremacists.

    There is a reason Presidential rankings have him in last or close to last place already.

    Any other prez would be ripped to shreds for playing golf after a mass shooting. Just as any other prez would be mercilessly excoriated for making a joke after a supporter suggested immigrants at the border should be shot.........SHOULD BE SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! A comment eliciting belly laughs among the crowd at the rally. Pause............................................................and think about that. Not gasps, laughter. Not condemnation from the Hater-in-Chief, making light of it.

    But we have come to expect behavior that could be considered a mild form of mental illness from this cretin.

    Trumpists will be talking for years about Hillary's deplorables remark. Don's cavalier treatment of his supporter's inhumane remark has largely already been forgotten amidst the deluge of idiocy, bigotry, and racism we hear every day from President Flim Flam.

    He's low because the media and Democrats constantly lies about him and people believe it.

    You can ignore the media and just listen to his words and arrive at the same conclusion.

    Most Americans are living quiet, productive, lives surrounded by family and agreeable relationships. It's the very very few that scream and rant deception in the news and on social media that cause loud, unproductive lives for the ignorant and easily conned.

    He’s done an amazing job on both fronts...but I’d like him to do more domestically to expose the Putin puppets that continue to spread division and hate. I’m not worried about Russian interfence anymore, now that we have a tough president that’s not more flexible, but the puppets have been planted since Obama’s failure

    Not every mass shooter is politically motivated, you know.
