  • Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

    For those of you that have put forward the view that the antiIsrael stance of the Democratic party and many of the major groups supported by the Democratic party ie BLM, different factions from the LGBT etc is not an important issue that affects all AMERICANS here is some interesting listening.

      One take on Trump and the G-20:

      "We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop
      "Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato
      "If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination." - Thomas De Quincey

        And another take on Trump and the G-20, this time from a leading U.S. conservative periodical (surprise! they seem to think that Trump is a tool, too):

          Sharp Partisan Divisions in Views of National Institutions

          Basically, Republicans love church and hate university. This is not exactly a revelation.

            Between May 17th to June 20th, 350+ minutes dedicated on major news networks to create fake Trump/Russia collusion.

            Between May 17th to June 20th, 1 minute (yeppers, that's 1 whole minute!) dedicated on the major news networks COMBINED to talk about Trump's tax reform.

            Contrast?

              Is there a tax reform bill NOW being debated in the house or the senate? Why would news media spend large amounts of time covering something that is still in the talk/development phase? When policy is in the t/d phase, seems to me you'd be more likely to find discussion in opinion and analytical items than on the 'front pages'.

              p.s. And re Trump himself, if the President is determined to act like a goof and talk like a goof, is it really a big surprise that he attracts a lot of attention. He's a big car accident and there are a lot of rubberneckers out there. :)

                    Yikes! Here's a quote from the article you linked, Ben:
                    "King argued that enforcing immigration laws would bring ten million jobs in America, before noting that not everyone on the SNAP food stamp program requires it."

                    By enforcing immigration laws I assume King means deporting all eleven million (the number that seems to be currently popular) illegal aliens. They should pass a law requiring everyone who wants to run for congress to pass university-level, introductory macro- and micro-economics courses.
