And that's reasonable. But honestly, it's two sides of the same coin. The conspiracy/insanity/blaming workers in D.C./smugness/dismissal/etc stuff is all the same issue. If people saw what you do every day - what 90% of D.C. does every day - it would have the same reaction that the uber-liberal-militant-anti-police people have when they do a ride-along or a training session with an officer. They'd be with you if they realized you're with them.
Ok youre right that wasn't a helpful post. What about my posts earlier? I'm not whining. I'm not saying Hillary should have won.
That in no way contradicts my point. We are more spread out, therefore more dependent on ourselves for our safety (which is why we all have guns and know how to use them). Most rural poor, at least where I am, rely on their own sources of heat (firewood) water (wells), snow removal from their driveways, many grow much of their own food and hunt and most of us know our neighbors. They are more independent than you can be in the city. But city folk don't get all that.
Trump has international ties. So let's see how he handles it. Comments on here are so disparaging against him before he has actually done anything except pick a cabinet. think about that. The venomous & hatred comments spewed against him & his voters when he basically hasn't done anything in office is an eye opener. Adios for me.
Obama says something that offends republicans, to supporters like you it justifies any level of opposition from republicans.
And by investing, businesses take that investment capital and do what with it exactly? Expand to create more jobs perhaps? Or maybe they automate and eliminate unskilled jobs but automation increases the demand for skilled positions. Doesn't help the older, laid off factory worker though. But the money does flow through the economy. It does work. OTOH, poor people spend all their money and it goes into corporate coffers and the profits are often paid to shareholders.
It's not as if he has disappeared since the election. He has been doing things, and not doing other things.
Questioning some of his actions is now spewing hatred and venom? Seems harsh.
Kind of reminiscent of the comments around Obama before he took office (and every day since)....
Could you find me some support for day care costs rising post election and upset parents that mentions a day care other than Advent Lutheran Child Center?
Pretty healthy to question any government agency. Worthwhile or complete worthless? Agencies in question have been questioned before, but the way government works----once it's there, no way to quash it. Federal employees pretty much can't be fired, not in the usual way anyway. so you have some jerkoff government employee actually jerking off in the office, you can't fire him on the spot. Just the way it works & why we have an inefficient government with inefficient employees. Any scale back of some bloated agency is okay with me as is to question the validity of it.
The jerkoff guy will get counseled, but will realize its now a safe place to grab #######.
I wasn't enthused about him to begin with, but I gave him 4 years to see. I think you could check the posts back then & don't think you will find this sort of backlash against the people who voted for Barack. The liberal tolerance is on full display right now. Your opinion is highly valued unless it's different than theirs. disappointing but very predictable. some here just never fail to deliver. Keep it up so Dodds can come in again. The hatred & venomous statement stands. it's in black & white until Dodds deletes it. Again. Keep on keeping on.
So everything he said and did while campaigning doesn't count? Are you happy with every single cabinet selection so far?
If Obama had said or did only 10% of what Trump did while campaigning he would have been out of it and would not be president right now.
I thought the threads getting shut down last week was because of pizzagate nonsense.
Look, I am personally of a mind set that we shouldn't criticize Trump at this point unless and until he does something we disagree with (and as it happens, he has made some appointments which I very much disagree with.)
Yes, that is the argument to back up trickle down economics. But that's not how it works in real life. In real life, the extra money goes to the investors, AKA the rich. They get richer.
What would I do what, if I were Trump? I would have released my tax returns a year ago and when elected, I would sell all my business interests and concentrate on making America great again.
A note to clarify. I disagree with this post but duty bound to give out likes tonight. It is what it is
The reason it's unique is that it runs counter to every possible conflict of interest rule, law, and Constitutional provision on the subject.bueno said:
And such anger and intolerance would do nothing but generate more in return. Way to be divisive Tim.
Oh I agree, which is why I'm not trying to be that way myself. It does much more harm than good, IMO.
As to tax cuts going to the rich, please provide documentation that dividend yields go up aftetr tax cuts. I don't think you'll find that is the case.
I voted for Hillary but she lost. Yes, she won the popular vote. That doesn't matter when it comes to who will be inaugurated on January 20th. She lost the election.
I don't think Washington or Jefferson gave up their plantations or other business interests when they were President.
This i skind of a "when did you stop beating your wife" kind of not being that way yourself, Tim.
When poor people spend money at Wal Mart, they are injecting cash into the local economy. Some of their money goes to the employees of the store they shopped at. Some of it goes to the company that the store bought its hoods from. Some of it goes to the gas station they used to fill up their tank so they could get to the store. A bit if it goes to the millionaire store owners.
