So I assume results aren't going to factor in to your assessment since you are already crowning these moves a success?

Why don't you move somewhere else? This is a serious question. I really am curious what keeps you in a place that you hate.

lets see how the debt looks in 4 years. i'm optimistic but i get your point as well.


I agree, but I saw the CBO projection of 10 Trillion over the next 10 years, and was thinking-that's about what Obama did in just 8 years...Don't look like people are giving Trump the same amount of rope...

Last I checked it was you guys who rooted against America's success for eight years.



No, motherfricker. This is flat-out BS, so frick you.

The vast majority who did not vote for Obama ... hoped for the best ... but braced for the worst.


We got the worst ... AND THEN SOME.


Hence, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" struck a nerve with a great many people.

Of course they will but I think they are all really good moves to start off his Presidency. Again I didn't vote for him. I have my doubts, but thus far he's doing a good job. I'm obviously never going to agree with every move he makes as I hate the federal government and wish it to be as small as humanly possible.

This right here is the problem I have with conservatives though..."hating" the federal government is such an irrational "rationale" for supporting someone to run the federal government. You cannot manage something that you hold in contempt. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy of government failure when conservatives tank the fed to prove its unworthiness...

Because they are lonely, depressed losers in life. They hate not only themselves and their lives, but everyone and everything else.

Anybody catch professor from Uconn on tucker Carlson last night claiming trump supporters are white supremacists?
It's hard for me to imagine people like this actually exist.



I wish tucker would have asked him why he hates being white so much.

I live in what we refer to as the Boulder bubble. Educated, wealthy, liberal, environmentally conscious, active people who for the most part don't have cable or really keep up with the outside world. It makes it an easier pill to swallow for me until I get to BC.

I don't want anybody to "tank" the federal government. I want somebody to make it smaller and have less of an impact on the American people.

They don't know what they hate. They only hate when someone else tells the to.

So far Trump has:

- ordered laws on the book to be enforced


You mean he ordered that SOME laws be selectively enforced?

It's not like the Feds are raiding pot shops in Colorado.

Look at Trump's appointments to science agencies and tell me with a straight face the intent is not to tank the agencies. PHD Scientists being replaced with career politicians, skeptical of the very science that the agency is responsible to research.

The main appointment I'm worried about is the one that deals with vaccines. I'm not 100% clear on the situation because I've only read it in passing but apparently he appointed an anti-vaccer to something important to vaccines. That's scary and something I disagree with if true.

Edit- Most government agencies are so full of waste they need somebody to lead that agency that does what's best for the American people and not the agency.

That has been a consistent thread in most of his appointments.

1. How did you make your money? 2. How did you do so without interacting with the outside world. 3. If you don't keep up with the outside world how do you know how terrible trump is?
