    Yes Obama announced to the world a withdrawal date which ISIS really appreciated which is why we had to go back in to kick them out. Obama got more troops killed in Afghanistan. Fact

    Sure the economy is just the same. Jesus

    GW and Obama both did immeasurable harm to our national security interests abroad.

    What's different about the economy?

    Your shock is the result of years of Fox News brainwashing. Hard to admit it's the same when you were told the recovery never happened.

    He's right and the way the media slants his coverage leaves twitter as a great pulpit

    No doubt many would love to see that stop

    Shit, if he just STFU, tried to act "Presidential" and quit with the twitter wars, he might be able to crack 50%. Trump has SOME intuitive political genius, but a REAL stable genius could easily have much higher approval ratings.
    You mean like George W Bush?

    Bull shit. You don't sit there and take it from the most hate filled lying pieces of shit this country has ever seen.

    You fight back

    Fuck your polls. The Black voters are liking him more and more because they aren't pussies like white boys

    See anything on Mexico trade this week? The stock market reaction?

    NO you say CNN lying again about a story that Lanny Davis admitted he was lying about

    Keep tweeting. Never take the advice of those trying to destroy you
    Well, Dubya, in spite of the biggest foreign policy debacle since Vietnam actually managed to crack 50% of the popular vote and get reelected. There's no mutual exclusivity whatsoever between displaying a bit of class and confidence as a leader and fighting back against political advisories.
    And he was at 30% when he left

    He was trashed mercilessly. That's why JEB! got his ass kicked by a shit talking New Yorker who was going to fight back not pretend this is classy or something

    Where is the class and confidence among the opposition? That's what I thought

    Fucking Brennan called Trump a traitor. Should Trump invite him for some fucking tea?
    No

    Yes the economy is the same. Trump now brags about the stock market as evidence. It almost tripled under Obama. Call me when the Dow gets to 60,000

    "Silicon Valley is Bowing Down to Chinese Totalitarianism"


    Google left China in 2010, claiming it was uncomfortable with the increasing censorship being implemented on the Chinese web. But now Google is planning to come back, and it has been developing a censored China-friendly version of their search engine in secret. The prospect of American tech giants moving into China sets a new precedent to the world, that cooperating with oppressive, authoritarian regimes is acceptable when it carries massive profit potential.

    Apple also used to be principled when it came to privacy and encryption. In 2015 they famously declined to help the FBI unlock the encrypted iPhone involved in the San Bernadino shooting, further exemplifying their stance on privacy. However this focus on privacy only seems to apply to the West, as Apple has recently given in to Chinese regulation by handing over all their iCloud data and encryption keys. This gives the Chinese government complete access to Chinese users’ information.
    A couple of weeks later, Apple further helped the Chinese government by taking down VPN apps from the Chinese app store, which were allowing users to bypass the country’s stringent censorship system.

    Tech giants like Apple and Google have come a long way from their humble beginnings, and in turn, so have their morals and principles. In potentially deciding to expand into China, these companies will be openly admitting that they no longer value freedom and privacy.

    Profit seems to be at the heart of these companies’ decisions, and ignoring all ethical ramifications, moving into China would indeed be a very profitable move. The question is whether we should accept this.

    If they're willing to do that kind of shit over there, do you really think they would not do it here? That they are not already engaging in censorship in cooperation with the American left?

    Is it difficult for you to imagine that a public company is profit driven? China's the biggest market and the smart move is to enter that market and play by their rules. Just like every other company that does business over there.

    You seem to think these tech companies are out to stifle your brand of politics, right? But in reality, the marketplace ideas will win. Your buds (Alex, Milo) that were de-platformed can find another platform can't they? Bootstrap it like a good ol' American. There is no right to be on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Stitcher, Spotify, etc., and those businesses chose to set the rules based upon how they can maximize profit. I'm sure normal, rational Conservative thinkers can agree with that. But if these tools lose their platform it's a giant CONSPIRACY!!!111!!!!one!!!111 Nope, just survival of the fittest, and the market has determined the winners and losers.

    If a sizable market wanted to hear your crackpot ideas, you'd get to paid to share them on those platforms. Fortunately, no one but a few angry cranks in the Tug want to read/hear your stuff.

    I'd like to give TIA for the incoming downvotes, wtfs, flags from the usual suspects of small minded, mouth-breathers. Cheers!

    Black approval in the 20's or low 30's after two years of calling him a racist daily

    Most GOP hit the ceiling at 10

    Nice illustration of under or no reporting of positive news

    Its like you were trying to make my point for me

    Oh and no big deal to make an agreement with Mexico by a guy who hates Mexicans and wants to kick the all out. Especially after the hysteria when NAFTA was scrapped

    Canada is slinking back to the table now too. Oh but its just a waste of time. For fucks sake

    You guys were wrong so many fucking times. Man up and own it

    Most of the media is rigged, and it's only going to get worse as all the graduates of liberal, marxist humanities departments throughout the country join the workforce and start paying off those giant heaps of student loans. When they come home from their job at Geico, which they could have gotten without a college degree, they want to watch something that confirms all that schooling they did was worthwhile and they are truly a "better person" than the average guy. So they tune into channels and read articles from other uber liberals like themselves all through their 20s and 30s. Then, at 40 or so, they wake the fuck up and turn conservative. This is why the dominant concern from media is the 18-34 demographic, which is for college age kids through their first divorce or second kid, when people finally start to wake up and start worrying about real priorities.

    I'm sure that's it.

    All three automakers stock prices went up today after the announcement of the Mexican deal. I'll take Mexican labor and more jobs in Mexico over back-stabbing, throat-slitting China any day of the week. Those who decry the anti-immigrant bias and policies should be jumping for joy at the solid just done for them. But they won't, and CNN will tell stories about the "exploitation" of Mexico when they never said a peep about China.

    Daily market watch is the liberals' domain.

    But it works for you, too, I guess.

    There's a lot I don't like about Trump, like his EPA appointees, his favoritism toward Wall Street and large corporations, and some of his biases that come across as racist, sexist or unnecessarily divisive. I'll give the nod to his critics on that stuff. But I've seen this movie before, back in 1983, when people had "had enough" of Reagan and Mondale chose the first woman running mate.

    Then came the 1984 Elections, which Reagan won by 48 states, putting an exclamation point on his first election victory, and after which the Democratic Party looked like the Gettysburg Battlefield.

    I was in HS at the time, but I remember very well the arrogance of the Democratic Party throughout 1983 and 1984, prior to that election, still believing Reagan's first victory was stolen or a mistake. We could see that again, very easily.

    Reagan did lose the Senate on the first mid terms

    Quite normal really. Lots of Presidents have a loss in the first mid terms in their desk drawer

    If the GOP keeps both houses it will cause massive panic among the dems and they will turn to a Cortez the Killer type candidate for 2020.

    McConnell and Ryan act like they want to lose because losers lose
    The GOP won’t keep the house and probably will have a slight minority in the Senate as well. Standard fare for a newcomer President. If the Socialists win more than 4 or 5 seats, the DNC will go their way anyway. They don’t have any establishment rainmakers. Inslee has been traveling the country under the guise of being the head of the democratic governors association. But He’s temperature taking to see how much support that He would have as Presidential nominee. Rumor is that Jeff Merkely D-OR is doing the same. Not looking good for the Dems for 2020 at this point.

    So why was Obama so shitty on black employment for his first three years?
    And if Trump is so racist and oppressive against blacks, why hasn't the trend reversed?

    Hint: The latter question is the point. HTH.

    You changed since you changed the avatar. At least you've grown some balls.

    So why was Obama so shitty on black employment for his first three years?
    And if Trump is so racist and oppressive against blacks, why hasn't the trend reversed?

    Hint: The latter question is the point. HTH.

    Yeah what was going on in the US economy during those first few years?
