I wasn’t a Trump supporter. I am now.
« on: January 20, 2018, 02:24:41 pm »
 By Mollie Ziegler Hemingway January 19 at 7:56 PM

This may seem like an odd moment for saying so, but a year into the presidency of Donald Trump, I’m elated.

Trump was not my first or even second choice for president, but a full two years ago I predicted he would win. I also predicted he’d be a progressive president, which explained why I was not among his supporters and why I am so pleased now.

Expecting Progressive Trump was a reasonable assumption. Trump supported the 2009 stimulus, the auto bailouts and the bank bailouts. He’d recently left the Democratic Party and had raised a ton of money for the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi and Charles E. Schumer. He’d supported single-payer health coverage, tax increases and even Planned Parenthood.

I don’t think I’ll ever approve of trumps style but I certainly feel camaraderie when he’s viciously attacked and lied about.

And I did vote for him.

   It really is an insightful article from Mollie BUT   

 FTA:
Quote
In early June, Trump announced the U.S. departure from the Paris climate accord, an agreement that would have had virtually no impact on future temperatures but would have come at a large cost in the growth of government and control over the economy. Since Obama never ran the treaty through the Senate, it was nonbinding, but the federal bureaucracy was working to implement it with new regulations on U.S. businesses. Critics on the right say Trump just does what other Republican candidates would have done. Yet the previous Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, lobbied Trump to stay in the global agreement.  …

   Comparing yourself to anything 'Mitt' is a losing proposition.

You're so 'pure'.  Just like Ivory Soap, in that 99.4% of your posts mentioning/about Donald/President Trump are of the 'pure' NT variety.

The rest is nothing but a fantasy between your ears.

It's not enough to have voted for Trump, but as we see once again here demonstrated - one must always worship and praise Trump in spirit and truth to be considered an American and NOT a NT "Traitor" and enemy of the country according to the Trump Chorus.

Well, INVAR my friend, if you like seeing terrorists cut people's heads off, by all means, continue your cynicism.

I think WTF is honest here. As I recall he/she did go back and forth for a short time there before the election, but did eventually settle on pulling the lever for Our Orange Overlord.  ^-^

Oh yes, because praising and worshipping Trump in song and sonnet and with positive vibes uttered constantly on an internet discussion board is going to magically empower Trump to end terrorism by the breath of his mouth.

So Trump is easily killed by cynicism according to you.  Hell, it takes Kryptonite to kill Superman.

Amazing what a pathetically weak superhero you believe in.

We are now in the 2nd or 3rd day of the 4 page memo, with no traction on this site.

Would be nice to look to this site, for the story. And meaningful discussion.

Are you suggesting that that is the only thing we should be commenting on now?  Is there any new information after 4 days that we should know about?  Or should we be waiting to see what happens?
