The Left Will Make 2019 a Dark Year

Funny thing ... I understand when the minority party spews sour grapes.

But we've had Republicans led by Trump spewing sour grapes for the last two years. What's up with "winners" acting so bitter all the time?

That is a question that cannot be stressed enough. You have to wonder why Republicans didn't just go at it alone and leave the criticism behind.

I think a big reason why is that tRump has such an incredibly fragile ego that he had to take so much "executive time" or golf matches to soothe that ego, which he could have used to lobby Congress. And his tactic for lobbying when he doesn't get his way is to literally throw a temper tantrum, which simply does not work with Congress. Hence, the only major legislation Congress has gotten passed in the last two years was reforming the tax code to increase the deficit and help out the superrich.

And now that he will have a much more formidable obstacle in the House, he can forget that changing any time soon.
 
But I thought Ivanka and Trump and his sons were great business people that know how to run companies and would fix the budget? Are you telling me that they lied???????????????????????????

That's what they keep trying to tell us.
 
If Congress passed a budget that Trump gave them, you can be sure the budget would be "fixed". But you and I know that's not going to happen.

Congress doesn't want to pass ANY budget.

:spin::rofl
 
lol...but you said he had a budget, Mycroft. Alternative facts? :lol:

Also, I'd drop the Flynn / Cohen thing... Despite delivering it twice now, it doesn't appear to be the spicy meatball you thought it would be.

???

Where did I say Trump had a budget?

Re: Cohen/Flynn. Not my problem people can't think for themselves.
 
The Left Will Make 2019 a Dark Year

By Dennis Prager -- I rarely make predictions -- whether of election results or anything else. My policy has always been to say what I believe should be done, not what will be done. I am making an exception with regard to America in 2019. 2019 will be a dark year in America.... Thanks to the left's control of the House of Representatives and the news media, Americans will be kept in a fevered state throughout 2019 -- with innumerable hearings, exposes, criminal investigations and possible indictments of those around the president and the president himself. Truth will not be the point. Defamation will. Anything that might muddy the president, no matter how spurious, no matter how thin the evidence, will be pursued with gusto. The media will drop "bombshell" after "bombshell." If lives and careers are ruined, so much the better; no one should be associating with this president anyway, as far as the left is concerned. The Robert Mueller investigation into alleged "collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government -- which has led to guilty pleas and imprisonment of people around President Trump for offenses having nothing to do with such collusion -- is a preview of what lies ahead.... The goal of the left to weaken, disable and impeach the president is the heart of its mission to undo the 2016 presidential election. If the Republicans had done anything comparable during the Obama administration, the Democrats and the media would not only have charged Republicans with racism -- as they labeled all criticism of Barack Obama -- they would have howled "fascism." And, for once, they wouldn't have been far from the truth. The misuse of government institutions for political ends is indeed a fascist tactic. But because most media serve as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, there will be no protest from the media, only support.
Thanks to Democratic control of the House of Representatives, the left will use the levers of government to keep the American people in a constant state of agitation. The only thing the left hates more than a happy population is losing elections. And it knows the two are linked -- because happy and grateful Americans rarely vote Democrat. The road to Democrat victories lies in convincing women, blacks, Hispanics, Jews and young people to be as unhappy, ungrateful and angry as possible -- in the greatest country ever made.
That is the left's agenda for 2019.

The only difference between the complete lawlessness ruling the US today and that of Honduras, is the fact that there is far greater wealth to plunder, plus so many people who need to be inculcated and beaten until they either comply with the rule of Progressive Marxist Socialism or die.
All they have to do is join the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrat locust army... march to America to receive the Obama/Schumer/Pelosi blessings that belong to the citizens and they're free to consume what is on the table and take the tools of productivity away from the Americans.
Obama doubled the debt from $10 to $20 trillion in just 8 years, and Trump has added $2 trillion to it in 2-years! That's peanuts compared to the trillions of dollars in unfunded retirements funds etc. that have absolute zero tangible wealth because there is zero accountability or allegiance left in the US government!. Remember, just a few years ago unfunded liability would be a red flag of bankruptcy!
The debt is essential to Maoist communist China, it's the same place PMS/DSA monopolists moved the US productive wealth generating assets to slave labor wages. China makes the steel, aluminum, copper, and LEAD, we don't anymore. Mao leads the records for slaughtering those who disagree with communism... especially anyone who betrays allegiance... like Schumer, Pelosi et al.
When High Crimes and Misdemeanors are ignored because the Criminals are members of a favored Political Party, we are moving closer and closer to Communism.
Wall of words saying nothing; that’s a first. Not
 
And I am not a part of any party.

But Republicans are bat**** crazy along with not even bothering with a pretense of caring about anyone except their richest donors, so Democrats are the best hope the nation has since we are stuck with a two-party system.

Four years ago I was a Republican. Three years ago I was gone from the GOP, but "Democrat" was still a dirty word to me. It made my lip curl in disgust. And now Republicans are so bad, that I have vested all my hope in the Democratic party which I formerly despised. That's how bad Republicans are. That's how dark the era was that we entered when Trump became president.

I actually didn't think Trump would be this bad. But not a week goes by without him reminding me to never again underestimate how low he can go, and he has dragged the spineless GOP with him.

Perhaps I was wrong - the word "a" and "the" change the meaning of this sentence significantly. "The" would have implied he had a budget. "A" implies more irrelevant fan fiction. Which is it? :)

Actually, the operative word is "if". The point of my statement matters, too.

Nowhere in that statement did I say Trump had a budget.
 
For many Americans who have missed a true Congress exercising its constitutional responsibilities - 2019 should be a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air after two years of toady-like compliance with darkness.

Democrat dogs miss the heady days of the former Harry Reid Bolshevik democrat oligarchy, which saw such things as the forceful ramming of Obamacare down the throats of all Americans except for the Bolsheviks in power.

Such blatant over the top extremist hyper partisan hyperbole only needs to be flushed.

And there it goes swirling down the bowl.
