    You say you’re a person of science. But are you a math person as well ? Without math, our use of science in the political arena becomes stagnant and it negatively affects our world view. It’s hard to be a person of science without accepting math as the language of science. The two together make choices in politics more easily ( not easy) to defined.

    Prove it. What are you talking about? Use sources to substantiate your reply. You have a strong tendency to make stuff up as you go along, and we are supposed to believe your fantasies.

    I'm guessing you can't prove it. Please don't use far right conspiracy theories. They are boring.

    I have reported that General Tommy Franks talks of this in his book where he worked hard not to destroy the Infrastructure of Iraq.

    General Georges Sada in his book says this.

    Everyone writes a book to rehabilitate themselves for history after making the biggest mistake since the Vietnam War.

    What was General Sada rehabilitating for himself?

    GHW Bush blew up 147 bridges, Democrats make a living arguing for that war. But resent when the son did it and cost Iraq no bridges.

    Franks put in a ton of effort targeting what was important to Saddam Hussein and tried to preserve the public property.

    Democrats all would do themselves a huge favor by reading these two books;

    Sure. 21 Democrats doesn’t sound like an overwhelming number. Oh, did Bush actually fly the planes ?
    Sure, let’s read self rehabilitation books instead of regarding facts. Nearly 40 billion in infrastructure damage and a third of the country displaced, along with the formation of Isis. Let’s read that book again.

    You had six years of investigations to show Hillary committed any crimes. If you try to put her in trial now, she’ll make you look just as foolish on National tv as she did then. You’re a glutton for punishment, or do you just hate older grandmothers who are smarter then you.

    The same rumors you heard between 1-6 years ago when Benghazzi didn’t work.

    That’s not going to save us from the idiots who voted for and keep cheering for Trump.

    We can do it
    We need to completely eliminate all fences and walls on both our southern and northern borders. Trump and his gop followers are much worse then any caravan coming up from the south, illegal Mexican working here or any one coming down from the north. By elimination the borders, we dilute the effects of the real crazies, the GOP.

    Trump refuses to allow an unredacted version of the Mueller Report to be given to Congress.

    Trump will fight a subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee for former White House counsel Donald McGahn to testify.

    Trump is breaking the law by not turning over six years of tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. The chairmen, Richard Neal, is relying on invoking an authority enshrined in the tax code granted only to the tax-writing committees in Congress that gives the chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee the power to request tax information on any filer. It says that the Treasury secretary “shall” furnish the information. Mnuchin, following Trump's orders, flew through today's deadline.

    The White House has instructed a former official who was in charge of the security clearance process to not comply with a House subpoena demanding his appearance for an interview. The White House told the former official, Carl Kline, who now works at the Defense Department, to not appear at Tuesday's deposition.

    "I'm having a good day," Trump said at a White House event for the Wounded Warrior Project. "It’s called no collusion, no obstruction.”

    For an innocent man, Trump is acting quite guilty. He is giving every indication that he is very guilty. Innocent Presidents do not try to hide the truth from Congress and the American people.

    Trump is becoming a pariah. Trump has spurned the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner for the past two years, and now he’s taking it a step further, ordering administration officials to boycott the dinner. It may please his political base, much of which Trump has convinced the media is “the enemy of the people,” while alienating everyone else.

    Trump is going out of his way to make himself the least popular President in modern American history.

    Putin is immensely pleased with his puppet.

    Trump's fans are equally pleased with Trump's performance. Washington is being torn apart. What's not to like?

    Wow, and how many American lives have been lost to gop ignorance in Iraq. Let’s try Bush whose out of office too.
    How about Colin Powell and Cindy Rice, both whom went along with all the lies responsible for the deaths of thousands including Americans.

    I don't have time for a book review, and how am I supposed to analyze a video? Nor do I care to listen to a highly biased Fox News commentator like .

    You said Hillary was corrupt. Prove it in written form so I can quote it and analyze it. If you can, use an unbiased source, but I will be satisfied with a biased source.

    Ah, so that's why the Orange Oaf is making idle threats about closing the border.
    Is that why they said they won't ratify NAFTA 2.0 unless the Bloviator-in-Chief removes our tariffs on steel and aluminum?
    You mean like how we let migrants trespass through this country and show up at the Canadian border?
    Our point in waving them through toward Canada? "Certainly not to be friendly with us [them]."

    Well, considering....

    The economy is growing about as fast as it was in 2014.

    [​IMG]

    Real wages have grown 1% in two years.

    [​IMG]

    The annual deficit has doubled to $1t.

    85% of personal tax cuts went to people making $400,000 per year. Trump said he wouldn't cut taxes for rich people when he was running for President in 2016.

    Trump said he would fix health care, fast.

    You tariff numbers are way off. Here's a World Bank map of average tariff rates:

    289D9C03-78C5-4F0E-AE7D-C43653CAD69C.jpeg

    https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/TM.TAX.MRCH.WM.AR.ZS?end=2017&start=2017&view=map
    Aside from having to get Congress to go along, the EU tariffs are 1,8% and ours are 1.7%. How much difference would it make?
    Canada (1,5%) and Mexico (1.2%) have average tariffs lower than ours. What was Trump wanting from them?
    The Trump economy is growing about as fast as we grew in 2014.

    [​IMG]

    Real wages have grown about 1% over the past two years.

    [​IMG]
    The consensus forecast is around 2% growth, down from nearly 3%.

    We can have sustained faster growth, but we'll have to make some structural changes.
