Re: Trump's accomplishments
Well, the link is broken, but it looks as if it's this: U.S. Consumer Confidence Eases on Economic, Jobs Expectations Of course NoNukes never promised any breakdown. But it's pretty obvious to what he referred (enlarged slightly if you click on it):
109 in Novemeber? Check. 115 in December? Sort of check, it's close. General upward trend? Check Ball's in yuor court.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
Did Obama start a name-calling war with N. Korea? Nope.
Did Trump? Yup. No matter the history, Trump started a name-calling war.
It's too bad that about 1/3 of the U.S. population, and about 90% of the press, HOPE that a military confrontation happens now with North Korea, if it provides them with a path to try to get Trump removed from office. That's the whole idea, the whole plan, they would sacrifice part of the U.S. to a nuclear attack, they would sacrifice any number of things that would be good for the U.S., if it would provide them with a way to get Trump out. What color is the sky on your planet? War with Korea would in no way provide a path to get Trump out. (Personally I think Trump should stay; he's evil but incompetent. The next two, Pence and Ryan, are evil and really good at it.)

Re: Trump's accomplishments
yeah I'm behind the pile of responses but I can't resist. 02. 59 missiles dropped in Syria And accomplished what? What is the follow up? Or has Trump's attention span expired? 04. Illegal immigration is now down 70% (the lowest is 17 years) Results of long term trend with stable illegal population dating back to 2009
U.S. Unauthorized Immigrant Population Level Since 2009 | Pew Research Center 08. Bids for border wall are well underway. Promised repeatedly to be paid for by Mexico. Anything done on that money? No because Trump knew it was a lie and simply pandered to the ignorant base. Wall is a waste of money when enforcement of visa departures would capture at least as many illegals. Enforcement of employment and financial rules would also be more effective but that is work so politicians won't do it. 21. Travel ban reinstated Wait - I thought the whole point of the travel ban issued in JANUARY was to allow for review of procedures and enhanced investigation of travelers, refugees, etc. The review was supposed to take 120 days. So now that were way past the 120 days, what has the review shown? Why do we need the ban? Because the review was a sham and was never going to change procedures. It's all about pandering to the base without accomplishing anything. 41. Promoted businesses to create American Jobs. 42. Encouraged country to once again 'Buy American and Hire American! This from the man whose businesses are actively working to get work visas instead of hiring locally. Posted a small ad for two days in local paper looking for workers. Maybe he just needs to pay a decent wage.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
War with Korea would in no way provide a path to get Trump out. It was only a few months ago that wing-nuts were accusing Obama of starting a war with Russia so he could stay in office. Now the story is that starting a war would actually get you ousted from office. Any port in a storm I guess. [1] [1] Navyism from sailor NoNukes.

I don't think Trump has thought out where he goes with this war of words. Kim Jung Un is just going to keep bad mouthing Trump and testing missiles & nukes. Kim will keep getting closer & closer to war but not quite cross the line. Trump is going to look weak unless he can actually do something rather than just rant.

Re: Writing checks with your mouth, that your butt cannot cash..
marc9000 writes: Did Trump? Do you believe that the current problem we have with Kim Jong Un is Trump's fault? Yes, Trump did start this really stupid and counterproductive chest beating nonsense. The one thing that Trump can do to help prop up the dictatorship in N. Korea is to create the appearance that the US is going to attack them. The whole government in NK is built on the assumption that they have to pour everything they have into the military because they could be attacked at any moment, and Trump is doing everything he can to support that narrative. The more Trump acts like a bully, the more tightly they will cling to their nukes.
It's too bad that about 1/3 of the U.S. population, and about 90% of the press, HOPE that a military confrontation happens now with North Korea, if it provides them with a path to try to get Trump removed from office.

Seriously? People are criticizing Trump because they don't want a war.

very fine people on both sides!?
RE: the Charlottesville violence in a a recent news conference TrumP has claimed that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the altercation. He's wrong of course. On one side you had the counter protesters and on the other side you had FUCKING NAZIS. Sure the opposition wasn't all squeaky clean but they were opposing FUCKING NAZIS. You had a parade of sister fucking hillbillies and inbred cousin humpers, there wasn't a fine person in that bunch. Fuck nazis. Punch a Nazi today.

Re: very fine people on both sides!?

And if the counter protesters hadn't showed up then nothing would have came of it and nobody would have gotten hurt, just like all the other KKK rallies that go on that nobody cares about.
Punch a Nazi today. You're advocating violence against free speech that you dislike. Please stay in Canada. If someone is saying something that you don't like, stay away and ignore them. Don't feed the flames you dinguses.

if there were any non-nazis I sure hope they left when they realized they were siding with FUCKING NAZIS.

Ignoring nazis doesn't make them go away. The last time the nazis came into power they were defeated by people fighting them.

no I'm advocating violence against nazis. They should be free to spout their shit, they should also expect to suffer some consequences.

Re: very fine people on both sides!?
if there were any non-nazis I sure hope they left when they realized they were siding with FUCKING NAZIS. Or the neo-nazis were siding with them... If neo-nazis love maple syrup does Canada need to stop eating it? 'Cause according to you, you'd be siding with FUCKING NAZIS...
Ignoring nazis doesn't make them go away. In America? Sure it does.
no I'm advocating violence against nazis. You're advocating violence against what you think are nazis - because you dislike what they're saying. What if you're getting Poe'd? If some cheeky asshole gives a Bellamy salute, that doesn't make him literally a Nazi. And you shouldn't be punching them. Too, Leftists are literally calling for communism - and communists were just as murderous as the Nazis, if not more. Do you also justify punching people wearing Che shirts? What about this person:
You gonna punch them too?
