Trump II

[Schewe]

It rained yesterday.  Must be Trump's fault.

Well, when it rains, it pours...

Trump's approval rating stands at 35 percent, poll says

President Trump's job approval rating has fallen over the last week, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday.

The poll found that 35 percent approve of the president's job while 59 percent disapprove. A Quinnipiac University survey released last week found that Mr. Trump's job approval was 4 percentage points higher at the time.

Sixty-two percent of voters say that the president is doing more to divide the nation and 31 percent said that he is doing more to unite the country, the latest poll found.

Here's some more of the low lights:

President Trump does not provide the U.S. with moral leadership, American voters say 62 - 35 percent. Voter opinions of most Trump qualities remain low:
61 - 36 percent that he is not honest;
61 - 37 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
57 - 40 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
68 - 29 percent that he is not level headed;
59 - 38 percent that he is a strong person;
55 - 43 percent that he is intelligent;
63 - 34 percent that he does not share their values.

But don't worry Trump supporters...polls are #FAKENEWS so you don't need to worry about them. They mean nothing to you, the diminishing base of Trump supporters!

... Any proof that that was the reason?...

You mean was I inside his head when he made that decision to become religious? No, I wasn't.

But you know what psychologists say about recognizing a liar? They tend to add unnecessary detail. So, let's see:

"I am a Christian,..."

So far, so good. I could actually almost believe it. But he doesn't stop while he is ahead, he has to add details:

...and I am a devout Christian...

Seriously, "devout"!? Someone who was raised in several generations of non-religious people on both side of the family, is now a "devout" believer!?

Then, as most liars, he has to continue to add unnecessary details:

...I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life.

A young, highly educated person, professor, raised in a non-believer family, now believes in fairy tales!? Resurrection, redemptive death, eternal life!? Seriously?

Andrew you're 277 pages too late.  Trust me, you won't change anyone's mind.  Save yourself the anguish and just print photos.  It's more rewarding. 

You sound like Trump (anyone who has to keep saying "trust me" can't be trusted).
The article was: Updated Aug. 21, 2017 and you'd see that had you gone to that link!
Yet you expect me to believe it was posted 277 pages ago? What 277 pages would that be?

Yes, making fine prints is far more rewarding than discussing facts with those deep inside the unreality bubble of alternative facts!

[Schewe]

Andrew you're 277 pages too late.

Well, Andrew's link was a bit out of date...it was only updated on Aug 21st and doesn't include last night's mental breakdown which I'm sure will add many more false and misleading claims...which seems to happen any time Trump is off the teleprompter!



How many false or misleading claims do you figure will be added? Think it's spike over 40? Wonder what Trump was talking about at the end of July that included so many?

The man is special (in a creepy sort of way according to Hillary).

"Christopher Columbus monument vandalized in Baltimore"

Christopher Columbus fought for the rights of illegal aliens  European settlers.
The Alt-Left should celebrate him as the first social justice warior.

I suppose my jest wasn't clear. What I meant when I said you were 277 pages too late, was that people have been trying to change other people's minds about Trump for 277 pages and nobody has changed anyone else's mind.  You arguments now won't make a difference.  You'd be better off printing instead. 

[Alan Klein]

Hum, so how do you know he's a democrat?
...Clearly, a Nobel Peace Prize winner has no business being involved with Trump's administration. I mean, why have somebody who has more than half a clue work for somebody who is totally clueless?

Obama, like Kammen,  was also a Nobel Peace prize winner.  So it means nothing.  Also, Sweden only awards them to Liberals,  Socialists, and others on the Left.  Of course Kammen's a Democrat.  What else could he be? 

[LesPalenik]

So you say Trump can't get a Nobel prize?

[Alan Klein]

So you say Trump can't get a Nobel prize?

Les, you have a better chance!

[LesPalenik]

Alan, you made my day, thank you for the vote of confidence! Now I'll have something to look forward every morning.

It got me thinking, that maybe there is a way Trump could get a Nobel Peace Prize after all. All he has to do is to resign. All world would be so happy that they would make the Swedes give him the Nobel Prize. I'm sure Angela Merkel would put in also a good word for him.

[Schewe]

So it means nothing.  Also, Sweden only awards them to Liberals,  Socialists, and others on the Left.

So, Sweden only give the Nobel Peace Prize to liberals, socialists and others on the left? So, only socialists and liberals work on behalf of other people towards the goal of peace? You know what you are saying, right?

Follow it through, run the tape. Only socialists and liberals work towards peace?

[Alan Klein]

The Swedes attempted to influence American liberal policy when they awarded to Obama,  Carter and Al Gore.  Obama just became president,  The prize helped make him feckless despite his subsequent use of drones. 
 Carter opposed Bush's tough policy to defend America and Gore's global warming had nothing to do with peace.   It wad their attempt to push a leftist scientific agenda.    They should mind their business. 

[pegelli]

They should mind their business.

I think this is their business, the fact you don't agree with their decisions doesn't change that.

[Robert Roaldi]

The Swedes attempted to influence American liberal policy ...

Thanks for this belly laugh. I just finished 2 weeks of frustrating bathroom renovation and needed it.

Source?  Was that what his service reported, or was that how it was sold by the Administration (like Colin Powell's presentation/show on February 5, 2003, at the UN Security Council)?

Speaking to reporters in October 2003, Clapper suggested that the illicit weapons had “unquestionably” been moved to Syria:

The official, James R. Clapper Jr., a retired lieutenant general, said satellite imagery showing a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria, just before the American invasion in March, led him to believe that illicit weapons material “unquestionably” had been moved out of Iraq. […]

He said he was providing a personal assessment. But he said “the obvious conclusion one draws” was that there “may have been people leaving the scene, fleeing Iraq, and unquestionably, I am sure, material.” A spokesman for General Clapper’s agency, David Burpee, said he could not provide further evidence to support the general’s statement.

as every single american official he is a patented liar

PS: and please do not try to inject "his service reported" ( as your intent with such attempt is clear here  ) - we are about him being a liar and you using liars to support your "point"

... Illegals will go back to Mexico since they'll be out of work.  Mexicans will stay in Mexico.

If they're working now, what's the problem. And yes, I know, there's no to reiterate that they are in the country illegally. I'm not advocating flaunting the rule of law, but if the law cannot be enforced, who is kidding whom. The thing is, now, what would be the point of spending all the money to chase down 11 million (or 13 or whatever the number is) illegal immigrants who are WORKING in order to get rid of them. I presume it's because after they're gone, Americans will get those jobs? What was stopping those Americans from getting those jobs in the first place?

As for tracking them down and deporting them: 1. What are the real chances of this working, given that you have a criminal justice system that can't keep illegal drugs out of prisons, and 2. How could it possibly be worth the expense?

It's so obvious that this thread never had any hope of going anywhere, couldn't hope to change any minds and has just helped fracture the LuLa community a little bit more than camera fanboyism could. The latter only affected where some people spent their hobby money allocation; unfortunately, this political, endless and without resolution topic has really driven wedges that I have never encountered here before.

I suspect that our late founder would have got rid of it a long, long time ago. Shame it persists in its unfortunate course.

Censorship would seek to deny those who feel the need to plead their gospel; good management would simply point them to an appropriate site where they could indulge themselves without causing gratuitous offence to others.

I suppose my jest wasn't clear.

Or accurate.


Trust me    I know more about accuracy than all the generals. Everyone knows that.


When reading the above, consider the influence of a man child speaking as the leader of the free world.

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

... if the law cannot be enforced, who is kidding whom...

Obama: "Yes, we can!" Round them up, kick them out... rinse and repeat.

... What was stopping those Americans from getting those jobs in the first place?...

You are kidding, right? The very presence of those 11-13 million illegals.
