President Bush Addresses The Nation After The Liberation Of Kuwait…

It might be a good time to remind ourselves that George H.W. Bush had a Gallup approval rating of over 85% after Desert Storm. This was the highest approval rating of any sitting President up till that time.
The record for the highest approval rating ever for a sitting president belongs to George W. Bush. After the September 11 attacks, W’s approval rating soared to 90%, which is still the highest approval rating of a sitting President ever.
Yet that and a $5 dollar bill won’t even get you a cup of coffee in today’s economy. Even assuming yet another Middle Eastern regime change operation defies history and delivers what was promised, Trump’s fanboys would do well to remember that political winds can shift in an instant, especially in a down economy.

I got coffee at Starbucks for $4. That is also a luxury since I can make a cup for less than a dollar. So shut up!

I’ll give you that. What I can not understand is anyone thinking that the alternative political party has anything constructive to provide on any of these fronts - economy, national security, or sanity.

They don't. It's irrelevant to the bigger question: why is a President whose base has more in common with Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan engaging in foreign policy actions that would make HW and his gang of globalists blush? The Bush family has done more damage to this country than any other in American history, and yet Trump is somehow taking his queues from these Deep State ghouls.

Presidents may come and go but the Deep State rules in perpetuity. The main lesson of the 1992 election is that the left wing of the CIA won out over the right wing. The true winner of the Cold War was the Deep State.
The Crimes of Mena Arkansas
MENA, Ark. -- What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the Central Intelligence Agency? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena.
President Clinton was asked at his Oct. 7 press conference about Mena, a small town and airport in the wilds of Western Arkansas. Sarah McClendon, a longtime Washington curmudgeon renowned for her off-the-wall questions, wove a query around the charge that a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the U.S., with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor? she asked.
"No," the president replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it. The local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was in the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United States Attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing -- zero -- to do with it."
It was Mr. Clinton's lengthiest remark on the murky affair since it surfaced nearly a decade ago, in the middle of his long tenure as governor of Arkansas. And while the president may be correct to suggest that Mena is an even bigger problem for previous Republican administrations, he was wrong on just about every other count. The state of Arkansas had plenty to do with Mena, and Mr. Clinton left many unanswered questions behind when he moved to Washington.
Anyone who thinks that Mena is not serious should speak to William Duncan, a former Internal Revenue Service investigator who, together with Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch, has fought a bitter 10-year battle to bring the matter to light. They pinned their hopes on nine separate state and federal probes. All failed.
"The Mena investigations were never supposed to see the light of day," says Mr. Duncan, now an investigator with the Medicaid Fraud Division of the office of Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant. "Investigations were interfered with and covered up, and the justice system was subverted."
The mysteries of Mena, detailed on this page on June 29, center on the activities of a drug-smuggler-turned-informant named Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. Mr. Seal began operating at Mena Intermountain Regional Airport in 1981. At the height of his career, according to Mr. Welch, Mr. Seal was importing as much as 1,000 pounds of cocaine a month.
By 1984, Mr. Seal was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency and flew at least one sting operation to Nicaragua for the CIA, a mission known to have drawn the attention of Mr. North. By 1986, Mr. Seal was dead, gunned down by Colombian hitmen in Baton Rouge, La. Eight months after Mr. Seal's murder, his cargo plane, which had been based at Mena, was shot down over Nicaragua with Eugene Hasenfus and a load of Contra supplies aboard.....

I suggest the decline happened when H.W. was replaced by Bill Jefferson Clinton and handed the keys to an economy bolting out of recession and on the heels of the end of the Cold War. Clinton sold us out at our highest point of strength. To the Chicom’s and NAFTA. Sold us out.j

You truly are Deplorable!
And so pathetic. Your weak arse attempts to push anti Trump propaganda is so easily recognized.
I don't know another word to use, besides "pathetic ".

The problem here is the Dems have hit upon a winning message that is impossible to beat in our corrupted political environment:

I don’t see that as a even keeled, level headed assessment of Trump in this regard; I see it as starting out with an extreme dislike of him, and then from there being motivated by that extreme dislike to form a very negative view of his every move and policy, this just being the latest example. That’s the danger of having a near 100% disapproval view of him (and again, his every move and policy). And very vocal negative criticism of him at every turn. The constancy of it, with very little if any exceptions insofar as actual commendation or voiced approval, tends to cause a deterioration of credibility.
That applies to quite a few amongst us.

My question is when did you become such an idiot? Have you always been this way here or is it recent?

Yet this is a complete misrepresentation of the posting history of SCLibertarian on this forum. SC has repeatedly expressed his support for Trump’s polices.
In particular, I know SC praised Trump’s promise to end regime changes in the Middle East. SC certainly hasn’t changed his positions on that matter — yet something clearly has changed.
