My thoughts on the 2016 US presidential election

[doublejj]

Don't leave Colorado behind!

Colorado is on the Vendetta list along with Cali....as are all the blue states, we will be under attack from all federal angles.

I read somewhere a Trump aid is compiling an enemies list. Reminded me of Nixon.

I still don't see how a member of the 1% is the choice of those who want change.

Let me know when he brings those lost jobs back and cuts health care costs 'way WAY down'.

And he'll find out that the vision dosen't match the reality.
Shit happens. Ask Bush or Obama.

The Oval Office is the best place in the world from which to launch vendettas. It's been proven time and again.

Your point here is telling; entrusting the word of an oligarch to usher in change that would only hurt himself and the rest of his class is the height of naivete. And look who bought it.

Even an idiot can do a lot of damage as president, we'll see what he does.

So are we supposed to work with you, or is it like you said? "Attack from all federal angles" I'm all for sitting down at the table, but if you're trying to sting Trump from behind like a scorpion; that won't be good for anybody. Especially you

The courts have already ruled stop n frisk unconstitutional, no?

no. lower court but not SCOTUS, NY lost every court case when defending it but dropped the case when there was a change in administration. no final ruling. yet.

How convenient.

Of course you are, because now you're in control of the rules

Where was this mindset during the Obama administration? Nowhere

Why should any democrat "sit down at the table" with any republican now after 8 years of unprecedented obstructionism?

Trump is the scorpion.

3 years from now nobody will admit to voting for him.

The only job of every democrat in office, now, is to obstruct

Any that don't won't be on office very much longer, 2018 will see to that

 

[doublejj]

I wasn't for obstructing until the republicans said they wouldn't approve a single Hillary SCOTUS nominee....so that's how they have defined the new rules of engagment...

I would insist they have hearings on Obama's nominee 1st. They sandbagged that all year, we can sandbag too.

I would love to have worked with Obama when he became president. But he told me " elections have consequences". Republicans go to back of the bus. ...

But I'm not like that, and neither is Trump. There will be regulations eliminated soon enough. But we also want to protect the environment. Clean air, clean water etc. The idea is to get rid of unnecessary job killing regulations. So we are counting on you guys to inform us of all the ecological risks involved. We can all work together as a team, and create jobs/energy Independence at the same time.

I'm sure I feel this way because of my political bias, because I thought it was bullshit when that's all the republicans did and held up progress. But now, republicans have total control of every part of the government, while I think it might be hypocritical to support democratic obstructionism now, to prevent a republican overhaul of all the progress made over the last 8 years, I think it's necessary. Obama and the democrats came in with a willing to compromise mindset, republicans at the time basically told him to go fuck his socialist self and they broke. Republicans in congress under Trump feel NO obligation to work with democrats. They're all going to run as much shit through as they can within the first 2 years because they know this is their only opportunity to do it before people realize how stupid it is to give one party complete control.

They won't. Who'll make em?

Nobody

What the hell would lead me to believe you or Trump care at all about the environment? Or that either of you would care what any liberal or progressive has to say about it?

Your entire histories show the complete opposite of that

It's also nice to buy our own products..guess that means Trumps buildings going forward will contain only high intensity virgin AMERICAN steel.

Doesn't it Pie? That's what it means? Doesn't it?

Actually it's going to be great, Trump will finally have to pony up for taxes..that deficit alone should balance the budget.

Afterall, as president, he's not going to be able to skip out on it. Approval ratings and all Wonder if he gave that any thought?

Yes. It would make american steel more competitive as cost to produce goes down and the cost of importing rises.

 

[Flaming Pie]

Jobs go overseas to increase US corporate profits - the 1%. This only helps the 1%

Applying duty and tariff to imported products makes US-made products more attractive. But this hurts the 1%

So we'll see

Reduce costs to produce products and hire employees. Increase cost to import.

Will result in more business in the US.

If the cost of importing steel rises, wouldn't that be bad for American manufacturers?

 

[Padawanbater2]

Reduce costs to produce products

How? Magic?

Do you think you're the only person with a family? Why would I want dirty air and water? You just need to stop it with all that global warming stuff. Won't fly in a Trump administration. Obama sold you that pipe dream to use stimulus money and fund green energy for his Democrat donors.
