Post all your claims of what you think that the Trump Presidency will accomplish. Then (if we remember to) in 2-3 years, we can all look back and see which ones have happened and which ones haven't. Let's put together a repository of everything we ALL think is going to happen. Without comment here, please, since we already have 1,294 threads already committed to arguing over this subject. Lets just make our lists so that we can come back and see just how foolish we all look in our prognostications.
 
Extremists will be emboldened to commit more crimes against minorities and people who don't share their opinions.

Here in Michigan the state Civil Rights Commission already announced a dramatic increase in such crimes since election day .

It won't be long before they're burning books and wearing brown shirts...er uh "Brooks Brother shirts'.

You mean like protesters shutting down major roadways or states being emboldened to fine and shut down businesses that don't share their opinions? (gay cake making comes to mind). Or how about the IRS targeting groups the administration disagreed with (remember when conservative groups were harassed and treated unfairly by the IRS?)

It's silly how the left clings to this rhetoric when it's guilty of actually carrying it out towards those they disagree with.
:lol:

No Oligarch Left Behind?
 
-cut taxes on the wealthy and large businesses
-weaken the power of the EPA
-remove sanctions on Russia
-provide less support for our European allies
-sign almost any Republican sponsored bill, with the possible exception of cuts to social security

Why do you hate the first amendment? Aren't roadways are considered public property and the states represent the people? Aren't gays people, too. If a business is open to the public then it should be illegal to discriminate against the public that paid for the roads and security that allows the business to operate.

It's silly to keep pointing out the splinter in the left's eye while ignoring the log in the right's eye.

How can one remember what actually didn't take place?

so the owners are the public and paid more in taxes than people do in fact they pay a lot more in taxes for those roads etc ...
so now what is your argument?
 
A trump hotel or two around the world will be the target of terrorist attacks.

Huh?.?

The key there is "possible" exception. Maybe they'll fix Medicare D to lower the cost of drugs? Nah, why ruin a good Republican corporate welfare scheme.

selective memory is great. unfortunately reality says otherwise.

And having to lie about what actually happened isn't so great. Sorry you can't face the reality that more liberal groups were under scrutiny than conservative ones.

Sorry also that you aren't able to grasp that the IRS was actually doing the job it was supposed to do.
 

I think he is saying that since the business owner also pays taxes and other business related fees as well then they have paid for the right to run their business as they wish.
 

It is pretty clear.

YOu made the claim that the public paid for the roads. Those businesses owners are the public as well. In fact they pay more in taxes than normal people in public do.
so what is your argument about it now?

since you seem to think that paying taxes = rights of some kind.

You can pretend to yourself whatever you need to to maintain your fantasy.

I'm only interested in reality, thanks. You should consider trying it out some day.

yep the fantasy you posted was just that. reality said otherwise that is why I posted the article.
it was pretty simple took me all of 5 seconds to find a reliable source to confirm what you said didn't exist.

there was a reason that Lerner resigned. there is also a reason that she refused to testify before congress.

It's OK that you can't face reality, but it's simply not my problem.

It was pure politically driven nonsense on the part of conservative house members.

Why didn’t Republicans invite the IG to the IRS hearings? | TheHill

Sorry that frightens you so.

Open to the public doesn't mean open to some and not others. Public means everyone in the community or state...including businesses.

...as long as it's legal.
