Mr Quatro I'm not defending President Trump with any political bias. I'm just an interested observer. Heck I can't vote in your country. Yet.

I think Trump is very vunerable in 2020 but the current front runners for the Dems look bad. And sad. Gonna be interesting.

Repeat after me without laughing.

President Bernie Sanders.

I have nothing against Trump. He is your President and thereby your problems(mostly)

Furthermore I'm all alone in this Greenland issue.

I'm the only one who have criticized both Trump and the Danish government and some of the Danish politicians.

You Danes are the only ones standing in the way of Evil Orange Mans attempt to surround Canada.

The media and foreign policy experts mantraously repeat the thesis that the US president is lying, and that Russia has in fact been expelled from the G8, not because Putin outwitted Obama, but because Russia allegedly illegally annexed Crimea and continues to support the separatists in Ukraine.

I love this part "mantraously repeat" thats right boys and girls its drilled into our brains 24/7. Russia evil, NATO good. Therefore Russia's annexation of Crimea must be illegal! Oh wait it did say it was allegedly illegal. Sure you may not like Trump, you may not like Putin, you may not like Russia. Personal opinions aside do tell, what international laws were broken? What precedents have been previously set? Take a look and recent European history and Serbia, that's different huh, because NATO good. Serbia didn't recognize Kosovo's declareation of independence yet NATO sided with Kosovo. Lets not forget a little over 235 years ago U.S. independence from Britain was illegal too, yet the French came to our aid. So much for setting precedence seems to me nations only respect self-determination when what people want line up with their nations interests.

Ya but Trump!

I am truly amazed at peoples obsessive behavior with this guy.

Pelosi said the House must weigh its “responsibility to protect and defend the Constitution” with the need to be “unifying and not dividing.”

Seems like she just hammered the last nail in the coffin of the Mueller investigation political boondoggle. Has she fallen under Trump's spell of criminality, usurping constitutional authority etc etc. Or realizing that all the petty butthurt cry babies need to deal with it until 2020 and decide by vote whether or not he stays in office.

And there's your trouble. The Dems are scared, no terrified about 2020. And that is because they know that like 2016 they don't have a candidate who can hit that grand slam homerun. No one was saying it out loud then and they're not now ...but they know it.

To quote pundit Victor Davis Hanson ...

Quote:

Elections are not popularity contests. If they were, Trump might well lose handily, given that his approval ratings are consistently below 50 percent. Instead, they are choices between good and better — or bad and worse — candidates.

I would expect democrats to loose both 2020 and 2024.

Rockstar · 08-25-19, 08:57 AM

I'm glad Pelosi had the wherewithal see it for what it is the courage to speak up and move on. May the best man or woman win!

God help us all.

I dont know that what Platapus posted is all that bad. Political satire is very much a part of our politics. However the destructive vitriol, accusations and major butthurt we've witnessed dont think help anyones cause.
