Maybe they are even smart enough to know that this would only force businesses to cut their number of employees and possibly even go out of business.

Not sure what this refers to but we've been hearing for years that SS is going to go bankrupt in just a few years, not Trump's doing.

Difference of opinion. He's often seen as a good negotiator on my side, while Obama was not only gutless but determined to destroy our military and our reputation in the eyes of the world.

This must be the usual liberal inability to understand the mind of a businessman who is doing nothing illegal and in most cases has in mind benefitting the people.

Faith writes:The topic is Gregg Jarrett's book claiming the Mueller investigation was a witch hunt in which the whole thing was drummed up out of thin air to try to catch Trump in something.

Faith writes:Trump has committed no crimes.

Just curious: How do you explain the fact that members of Congress who started out poor or broke are now multi millionaires? Just wondering.

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we've seen in this case.There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election. And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.Yet Politico’s investigation found evidence of Ukrainian government involvement in the race that appears to strain diplomatic protocol dictating that governments refrain from engaging in one another’s elections.
The Ukrainian antipathy for Trump’s team and alignment with Clinton’s can be traced back to late 2013. That’s when the country’s president, Viktor Yanukovych, whom Manafort had been advising, abruptly backed out of a European Union pact linked to anti-corruption reforms. Instead, Yanukovych entered into a multibillion-dollar bailout agreement with Russia, sparking protests across Ukraine and prompting Yanukovych to flee the country to Russia under Putin’s protection.In the ensuing crisis, Russian troops moved into the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, and Manafort dropped off the radar.
Manafort’s work for Yanukovych caught the attention of a veteran Democratic operative named Alexandra Chalupa, who had worked in the White House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton administration. Chalupa went on to work as a staffer, then as a consultant, for Democratic National Committee. The DNC paid her $412,000 from 2004 to June 2016, according to Federal Election Commission records, though she also was paid by other clients during that time, including Democratic campaigns and the DNC’s arm for engaging expatriate Democrats around the world.

marc9000 writes:In reading through your link, it looks to me like the between-the-lines implication is that these circumstances are party, or completely because of conservatism / Trump. But are they really, were they pretty close to the same when Obama was president?

Yes, the ones who say; "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15."

The ones who are also sympathetic to little foreign girls who hate U.S. productivity.

Or those who place a higher priority in meddling with the fossil fuel industry than actually helping people.

They just understand facts and logic that sympathetic Democrats tend to forget and ignore. Like our $22 trillion, and growing national debt.

Like recent increases in homeless communities in California that make their own lifestyles seem pretty good. And Democrat politicians (Pelosi, Waters, Schiff, anyone?) who show no concern about it.

That's it - and facts and logic are involved.

What I can't understand is how the mainstream media and Democrats are getting by with this, why it isn't trumpeted by Republicans just how fake it really is. Biden is NOT a political opponent of Trump's, because he's not been named as the 2020 Democrat candidate yet. The election is over a year away, while Biden is the front runner, front runners this far out are often not the candidate. Biden would take office at age 78 if elected. Even some Democrats would agree that there's too much likelihood of his death, or serious medical problems, for it to be good for the country. His chances or being the nominee are very small.26 - is that the number of Democrats who are, or were running for the 2020 nomination? Does that mean that all of them, upon their announcement as a candidate, are suddenly immune to questioning by a sitting president for possible crimes involving foreign governments any time in the past? To think that Trump is scared of the 76 year old Biden 14 months before the upcoming election is laughable. It's very believable when he says his phone call had nothing to do with the upcoming election.

But back to your link;

Economic appeals are not going to sway any Trump voters, who view anyone who is trying to increase government spending, especially to help other people, with disdain, even if it ultimately helps them, too.

In this economy, you can be sure "economic appeals" aren't going to sway any Trump voters.

The left will never understand it, but it's a simple fact that "Trump voters" often find more value in being left alone more than getting free stuff.

quote:

---

And Trump voters are carrying the day here in Van Buren County. They see Mr. Trump’s slashing of the national safety net and withdrawal from the international stage as necessities these things reflect their own impulse writ large.

​

They believe every tax dollar spent now is wasteful and foolish and they will have to pay for it later. It is as if there will be a nationwide scramble to cover the shortfall just as there was here with the library. As long as Democrats make promises to make their lives better with free college and Medicare for all sound like they include government spending, these voters will turn to Trump again and it won’t matter how many scandals he’s been tarnished by.

His "scandals", most all of them greatly magnified by the Democrat news media, are microscopic compared to the current national debt,...

...or rural America's knowledge of the disastrous results of many past socialist experiments worldwide.
