Snowflake, you can't take your name and apply it to someone else. Nice try. It's bothering you a lot, but Snowflake is your name, and nobody else's. After all, just think of all of the complaining YOU have done.what a snowflake. Where the tough guy from NY??? Buck up buttercup
Good style critique Tulla. After all, this stuff is more important than growing the economy, managing immigration properly, providing opportunity, protecting the homeland, etc.When Trump says that "no politician in history ... has been treated worse, more unfairly." he is, again, revealing many things, including: 1) his ignorance of history, 2) his addiction to bombast--notice he didn't confine himself to his 44 predecessors but to every politician ever, and 3) his inability to recognize what is appropriate (this was a graduation ceremony that he used to try to drum up sympathy for himself).
I was addressing the topic of the thread. You often criticize people for straying from the topic at hand.Good style critique Tulla. After all, this stuff is more important than growing the economy, managing immigration properly, providing opportunity, protecting the homeland, etc.
Good points Tulla. It is going to take some time for Trump to get things moving and then for the results to be known. As I stated before, the marginal utility of debt makes it tougher to grow GDP at a good rate, but Trump may be able to get it done with tax cuts (which do work, depending on the timing in the economic cycle in which they take place).I was addressing the topic of the thread. You often criticize people for straying from the topic at hand.
About the topics you introduced into the thread: as you have said yourself, it's going to take at least a couple of years to assess Trump's economic record. As for "providing opportunity," I'm not sure if you're thinking only in economic terms. Let's see if something like the Trump/Ryan/Price healthcare plan that passed the house eventually becomes law and, if it does, if it gives people more opportunity. And let's see what happens with education. Is the country safer today than it was a year ago? I can't say. Again, we'll have a much better sense after a few years. In any case, can we agree that because for good reason we don't know of the great majority of threats that are successfully countered or eliminated, it's really hard to anyone sitting as we are in the bleachers that the country is or is not safer than it was six months ago, two years ago, etc.?
Finally, you regularly dismiss points by calling them matters of style. Being truthful is not about style. And I would say being respectful and dignified matters a lot, especially when we're talking about a president. Remember how Obama dealt with the protester at his rally in North Carolina? Trump calling for his people to "get them out of here," and even encouraging his followers to hit them ("Don't worry, I'll pay your legal fees,"), calling a federal judge "a so-called judge," calling Comey "a showboat," etc. are all corrosive.
For example, when Obama said to Medvedev in 2012 that he will have more flexibility to "work" with Putin/Russia after the election, the left-wing media (NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, Washington Post) barely covered it. If Trump had made a statement like this, it would have been the lead story for weeks, if not months.
First of all, this is between Tulla and me. Second, you are blocking me, remember? Third, the media coverage of the Obama/Medvedev conversation was sparse and lacked the intensity that the Trump situation had. There's a reason, political bias, which you apparently don't understand.I watch all those channels and know all about that statement. It's politics. He would have more flexibility once he's re-elected. Are you equating that to telling the Russians top secret information?
Unlike you, I prefer to let things play out. You are so capable that you make instant judgments about issues. Often wrong, never in doubt!What has Russia done to hinder ISIS? Any idea? Zero. For all we know Russia encourages ISIS.
So why is Trump giving them details? You and I don't know the nitty gritty, but it was alarming enough for the Intel offices to start doing damage control.
Someone such as you should be careful of making predictions. You predicted that 1) Hillary would beat Trump; 2) that you would like Trump more than me. Also, you couldn't even recall the context of your paycut statement. You might be overstating your capabilities! But I do get much amusement from you, so please keep it coming....more predictions, more off-the-wall statements! You might even be able to charge a fee for subscriptions! We could call it the Snowflake-Paycut amusement website and you could charge $9.95/month, perhaps more!Trump talked to Comey about locking up reporters, but continue in your bubble. In the end Trump will be impeached and you'll still say he did no wrong. Sad. Weak.
