Yeah, he's making a difference. Trashing treaties, breaking alliances, saying incredibly stupid things, and lying his ass off. He does not listen to his advisors unless it's to get and repeat classified info to Russians in an effort to brag to them that he is in the know. It will take another generation to try and fix what this clown has destroyed.

He belittles and insults anybody who does not agree with him. How many newspapers and networks are failing according to him? His speeches always devolve into self-praise.

He has shown time and time again that he has no clue what he is doing. He doesn't even know what he does not know. He learns two facts about a subject and boasts that he is the world's foremost authority. If he realizes he does not understand something, he makes excuses such as, "Nobody knew it was so complicated." He charges tariffs and thinks that China, not U.S. consumers, will pay them, as if China would not just raise prices to offset the cost of the tariffs.

How's that better, cheaper, covers-everyone healthcare plan of his coming along? Or the better deal he promised when he trashed the treaty with Iran (you don't cancel a treaty before you get a better deal)? Or Jared's Middle East peace plan. And the nothing-burger witch-hunt? All of his top campaign officials have been charged or convicted. 30+ indictments. The coup? A coup is designed to put the opposition in power. I don't think President Pence would view himself as a Democrat.

He says stupid crap such as (from just one interview on 7/27/17):

"So pre-existing conditions are a tough deal. Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan. [Seems to think health insurance is the same as life insurance.]

"I said it from the beginning. No. 1, you know, a lot of the papers were saying — actually, these guys couldn’t believe it, how much I know about it. I know a lot about health care."

The infamous email: "I didn’t look into it very closely, to be honest with you...I just heard there was an email requesting a meeting or something — yeah, requesting a meeting. That they have information on Hillary Clinton, and I said — I mean, this was standard political stuff...I didn’t know anything about the meeting...It must have been a very important — must have been a very unimportant meeting, because I never even heard about it...nobody told me. I didn’t know noth—— It’s a very unimportant — sounded like a very unimportant meeting."

Trump thinks that only one news source, Fox News, tells the truth. That's right, every one of the hundreds of other media outlets tells the same lies. It's a vast conspiracy because people want to install Pence as president.

Keep telling yourself that Trump is doing a good job. He is coasting on the economic recovery that occurred under Obama despite Republican efforts. Obama cut deficits in half. The tax cut that was passed under Trump is causing massive deficit increases.

Just keep drinking that kool-aid and thinking the clown in the White House is a stable genius. Mr. Ed was a stable genius. Trump is a delusional narcissistic moron.

Work Like My Rich Neighbor?

Work like your neighbor? At what, stealing from poor people? Making sure employees don't have purchasing power? Trashing companies by relentless cost-cutting while ruining companies' manufacturing standards? Paying a minuscule percentage of income for Social Security compared to employees? Convincing rich congresspeople to cut taxes on the rich (who don't need tax cuts) even more? I know, let us poor people send our non-existent money to work so it too can be taxed at a lesser rate than a working man's sweat.

So if I don't want to or can't be a CEO/CFO/Manager/Owner, then I should just work three jobs, all part-time, so that I cannot get company benefits including health insurance? And why are we forcing companies to pay for health insurance while competing with foreign companies in countries with universal health care? (What an incentive to screw employees on coverage.)

Why do we have the most expensive and unaffordable health care system (hint: for-profit)? BTW, tell me how many hospitals, clinics, labs, etc., will be nationalized by universal health care coverage? That is what a takeover of health care is. Universal health care means single-payer, not single-owner.

Can I get a government servant between myself and my doctor rather than a private company insurance executive who is looking for ways to not pay claims?

Why don't you start in with lies about Social Security while you are at it? In the red? Going broke? Needing reform? Trust Fund stolen by Congress? (Yeah, those interest-bearing Treasury Bonds are legal theft, right? Tell that to Grandma and the Chinese.) What happened to tweaking payroll taxes or tweaking salary caps or routine retirement/disability allocation adjustments? Raising retirement ages or cutting benefits will only change the date that the Trust Fund zeroes out (2034); there is absolutely no effect on the federal budget deficits and the National Debt. If you disagree with this, explain it to me.

Just trying to trash Social Security, the most successful government program ever, eh? Cause it's not for-profit? Let's go back to Poorhouses and 50% senior poverty, because retirement/disability insurance is just socialism, right?

Medicare-For-All? With its 20% copays and no coverage for Vision/Hearing/Dental (which most elderly need)? No thanks.

Radical conservatism is a sick, selfish, toxic ideology. Freedom for companies? To pollute, discriminate, cheat, steal, lie, maim and kill? Meanwhile, our freedoms are being eroded. Since when did sexuality become binary? Only one gene difference? I don't think so.

BTW, we are not a Christian nation. We are a freedom-of-religion nation. Or we were. Don't like gay marriage? Then don't marry someone of the opposite sex. Don't like Latinos or blacks or Asians or Buddhists or atheists? Don't become one. But keep your pretend morality out of commerce and away from our nation's laws.

Keep your laws out of my bedroom. Take the rich man's hands out of the pockets of the poor. Keep your discriminatory, racist, ageist, elitist, fascist, sexist, anti-health, for-pollution, anti-integrity, anti-environmentalist, anti-gun safety, anti-religious freedom, anti-fairness amoral convictions away from those of us who actually care about our fellow human beings.

Concerning the Second Amendment

The Second Amendment is an individual right intimately tied to the natural right of self-defense.

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), in the majority opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia:

"Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons." 

Also,

"The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment. The District’s total ban on handgun possession in the home amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of “arms” that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense. Under any of the standards of scrutiny the Court has applied to enumerated constitutional rights, this prohibition – in the place where the importance of the lawful defense of self, family, and property is most acute – would fail constitutional muster. Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional."

And,

"[T]he conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home."

 Thus, the Second Amendment was found to not apply to machine guns.

This is basically what rational liberals argue. They do not argue for the confiscation of all firearms. That would not only be silly, but unworkable. Visions of federal or U.N. soldiers going around collecting everyone's arms are pure fantasy and scaremongering. What they ask for is reasonable protections to keep guns out of the hands of those people who should not have them, protections which would include licensing and background checks (no gun show loophole), and restrictions on the owning of weapons of mass murder. The Second Amendment certainly does not give the right to own missiles or bioweapons. States are also given leeway to levy laws such as those concerning the carrying of concealed weapons and concerning the commercial sale of weapons.
