You fricking disagree with everyone, whether left or right.

What the frick do you believe in dude?
I believe in the basic premise of climate change, but I am skeptical of the extent of causation, prediction increase, and negative consequences.
I believe in lots of things; I may seem like a moderate because most here are all in for certain political candidates, often resulting in inconsistent extremes.

Maybe, what is obvious is that Trump is effective even when the odds seem to be against him.
The Trump X factor is that he doesnt care about the Republican party other than having votes to get things done. He doesnt care about his personal perception. He doesnt care about his family being a political machine. He doesnt care about donors and the ability to make money when he is done being President. He literally has no strings to pull
He truly loves this country above all else and wants to make life better for the people that really make this country work. Can you say that about any other recent President since Reagan?

My problem with you is that you are fricking inconsistent. I can read a thread that I completely agree with or disagree with, and invariably you will chime in on the complete opposite of or give some moderate view of it. I don't know whether to downvote you or upvote you. Mostly I downvote for your refusal to take a stand.
You're a confused muthafricker.

Trump is a straight up genius. I may not agree with everything he's doing, but it makes me cringe when people call him a buffoon.
He just single handedly defeated the Democrats, the Republicans, the media, and is now on a full scale 24/7 coked out rampage of getting shite done. His critics literally cannot outwork him or outsmart him. This is his game now.

Quit over-thinking things. Go with your gut feelings.
You must have a very hard time making decisions.

You must have a very hard time making decisions.
What frustrates me is that my work often requires decision-making that is supported by evidence, yet I'm often stuck dealing with people who go with their gut feeling that is counter to that evidence.

This is my impression of you.
A lefty brings up a topic. The leftist agree with them.
The right disagrees.
buckeye_vol: "You're both wrong." And you may give some points of each side.
You come across as someone who takes each argument as equal when they're clearly not and it's infuriating.

But I find when I try to make a post in agreement, but expand upon it, it goes largely unnoticed. Kinda boring. So maybe you share some blame for not responding and reinforcing my insufferable nature.
Or maybe I don't have interesting ideas to offer.

What's more amazing is how frazzled he has the left and coincidentally the media within the first 5 days of his presidency.. that discontent is very telling to the public view of the media as seen with his approval ratings

This plays right into his hands.
They are 'outraged' and 'offended' by slightest thing, and that offers him a target rich environment.

What did he get done?
Toothless EA's and EO's? You know these still have to be funded, deemed constitutional, etc...right?
