Feel restrained from posting too many links
While I think they are a VITAL way of confirming statements we make
Mid election a pop up warned me this site is about our personal views
Post them still, but refraining from flooding the place
SMH this morning, a comedy piece Mocks Trump's big day, 4th of July march
Worth the read,truly, if only to see others around the world are mocking him
I believe my posts while mocking are telling of very real fears the bloke is a danger
Truly find fun in a man who avoided military service because he had spurs in his feet wants a miltary style love in, in his name

Belly wrote...."You CLEARLY say only your view is right".

I'd ask him to show where I clearly said that but Belly gets all whiny when asked to support his lunacy with actual facts. So I won't ask.

Belly wrote.."So whatever I say, in your eyes, will be wrong"

On this point, its not about being right or wrong. Its just about opinions. In my opinion, Trump was right to not kill 150 people to avenge a drone. Not just right but also the type of leader I'd hoped he was.
I was merely trying to find out your opinion. I wondered if you knew that avenging the drone involved slaughter on that scale.
Now we know your opinion...that not only do you advocate 150 deaths but 10000 deaths over a piece of metal.

So I'll slot that knowledge away in the memory-banks to to bought out the next time you try to virtual-signal over war deaths. You know, something like..."Belly, the man who thinks 10000 people should die because one man shot down an unmanned drone."

Hypocrisy is such an ugly look. But TDS will do that to the unthinking.

Rained on the Gingerbread mans parade
He stood behind a bullet proof, rain too, screen, and told the world how great he is
Beg to differ but that only gets me branded lefty progressive, unfortunately caring is a bad thing in Trump's America

SR claimed that the Reagan economy was a disaster that was fixed by Clinton. When I pointed out that that was logically ridiculous because Clinton didn't inherit the Reagan economy, the response from SR was....

Crickets.

When asked to show how the Reagan economy was a disaster, SR's response was....

Crickets.

When I pointed out that the figures SR used to try to show that Clinton created more jobs than Reagaon were invalid, SR's response was...

Crickets.

When I pointed out that the more valid figures showed the opposite of what SR claimed, his response was ...

Crickets.

When I pointed out that Fauxachontas was now admitting that she wasn't an Amer-Indian, SR's response was....

Crickets.

Lots of chirping going on but very little actual logic.

Dear mhaze,

Droll mate, very droll.

The only reason you are hearing crickets is that you have fingers in both your ears and are chanting nah, nah, nah.

And I make no apologies for not chasing your diversions like Warren. If you wanted to discuss her start another thread. However I suspect the real reason for the continuous diversionary tactics is that your cupboard is bare.

mhaze,

The arguments about Reagan and Clinton reminds me
of the adage of -

Political philosophers, Gilbert and Sullivan, who said -

"Things are not always what they seem, skim milk
masquerades as cream."

And so we have those who believe that increased
bureaucracy to higher deficits under Reagan
should be seen as a complete failure.

While Clinton is perceived to be a good bureaucracy
thrasher because in his 8 years the size of his
executive branch workforce dropped more than 10%
from 2.9 million to 2.6 million.

Under President Reagan, 1981 - 89, the size of the
federal government increased by any measure. Executive
branch civilian employment, which covers almost everything
except the uniformed military and the Postal Service,
was 2.109 million in 1981 and 2.129 million in 1989.

Total federal government employment rose during this
period from 4.9 million to 5.3 million.

Reagan inherited a federal budget of $599 billion in revenue.
$678 billion in spending, and a deficit of $79 billion.

He left office with a federal budget of $909 billion in
revenue and a little less than $1.1 trillion in spending, and
a deficit of $155 billion.

In his 8 years, under Bill Clinton, the size of his
executive branch workforce dropped more than 10%, from
2.9 million to 2.6 million.
