    Still defending 'your' side of the fence so fiercely I see.
    So fiercely that you cannot tolerate any centrist position to be stated
    When did you notice that I repeatedly stated that HRC would be bad for us?
    Personally I agree with @irish that we'd be at war if she were POTUS
    Of course it's not like we're not at war with this twit in chief in charge either

    When did you listen to any conversation about getting played by both sides? I know @rube covered this well enough.
    No you always insist that Trump can do no wrong
    When everything he does is wrong. Illegal. Immoral. Obstructive. Malicious.

    Why do you ask me to defend Obama, he's long gone? Yep he fucked up the 52 states answer we agree but WTF does that compare to gutting care for Americans or for our country? Trump is serving Big Corporations and nothing else. He's not looking out for small business at all. He's certainly not looking out for a whole vast sea of regular Americans but who cares? At least he's letting his ego fuck up trade deals too. How're those North Korean nuke test verifications coming along. What a farse.

    Compare 0 indictments versus 30 and counting if YOU want to compare.
    Go ahead and call Mueller's probe a witchhunt and ignore the damning results...wonder what Jr. will look like in orange?
    Not as good as his dad

    look at the map???... dude, you might want to que up breaking bad on your netflix account
    but you're right, that's meth not opium
    but...
    we don't need opium — we've got a phalanx of scientists and chemists creating synthetic (opiates) every minute of every day
    now to be fair, credit where credit is due...
    iran has (according to them) been very diligent trying to combat the smuggling
    problem is even if you shut the afghans down, they can always go through pakistan or even turkmenistan
    so maybe you could focus on other areas...
    like, i don't know... maybe stop providing arms to the houthis and other militants


    Rouhani warns weakened Iran less able to fight trafficking
    by Amir Vahdat | Associated Press — 8 December 2018

    Tehran, Iran (AP) — President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday warned Western countries that they will face a massive influx of drugs if Iran becomes weakened by U.S. sanctions. Rouhani spoke in Tehran at a six-nation conference on fighting terrorism attended by parliament speakers of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, China and Russia. In remarks broadcast on state TV, Rouhani said a weakened Iran would be less able to fight drug trafficking.

    "Weakening Iran by sanctions, many will not be safe," he said. "Those who do not believe us, it is good to look at the map."

    Iran lies on a major drug route between Afghanistan and Europe and the Persian Gulf states. Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium with its Helmand Province being the biggest opium-producing region. Opium is the raw material for heroin and Afghan farmers harvest about 80 percent of the world's supply, according to U.N. reports.

    Iran's economy is reeling after the U.S. re-imposed sanctions lifted under Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers. President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal and began restoring sanctions. Rouhani called the U.S. sanctions as "economic terrorism".

    Iran pays a heavy price to fight drug trafficking, with a number of border guards killed in fighting drug smugglers every year. Every year, the country burns about 100 tons of seized narcotics as a symbol of its determination. Iran has also complained about accusations that it violates human rights by executing convicted drug smugglers, who make up 73 percent of executions in Iran. In 2013 alone, Iran spent more than $26 million to dig canals, erect walls and embankments, create new outposts and set up barbed wire along its 2,000-kilometer (1240-mile) border with Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to government statistics.

    Until 2016, Iran annually spent some $2.5 billion to fight drug trafficking, officials say.

    I wasn't paying attention to Trump while viewing the service because that wasn't what the event was about. If he's living in his own head during the service, who cares? Who's to say what he's thinking or what's on his heart? Doing nothing is probably more sincere than his satanic predecessors pretending to care. Even if he did participate, CNN would bring a lip reader on, zoom in on is lips, and speculate if he flubbed a line.

    That's why I say it says more about the media than Trump. They're obsessed with negativity. If you Google "President H.W. Bush" and the first 10 news articles have "Trump" in the title, it's exploitative, opportunistic garbage.

    I didn't care for it when the right obsessed over Obama's body language, either. It is so inconsequential and petty.

    I never said anything about "respect", so idk what you're talking about.

    I really don't give a shit what politico tabulates. Trump is not a thought leader and I don't look to Trump to mold my beliefs or opinions on things that occur in the U.S. As long as I agree with the sentiment and see results, that's all I care about at this point...

    ...I like the supreme court justices, I like ISIS being all but wiped out, I like the economy, I like the tax cut (although I'm not completely satisfied), I like our loyalty to Israel, I like the approach with North Korea, if congress would do their job I'd like immigration reform..and while we're at it, I like it when he makes fun of idiots like Liz Warren. List goes on. Oh, and Trump has done way more to keep Russia in line than Obama ever did. He armed the Ukraine with deadly weapons, 200 Russian soldiers were killed in Syria under Trump, etc.

    And even if I CONCEDE that Trump sucks, he's still better than the alternative and you KNOW the media would not be scrutinizing her to this degree. If at all. They'd be celebrating her.

    'Federal' scientists are butt-hurt? Good.

    trump is exactly this...
    as advertised and as most expected
    can't blame trump
    blame the weak competition the right and left chose to rally behind to battle against him
    when ted cruz and marco rubio are the best the gop can march out, you're in a world of trouble
    trump ate both of them alive at the debates -- "this guy's a choke artist and this guy's a liar"
    of course, it was essentially all show since the right had all but conceded defeat to hillary
    wouldn't matter who the gop sent out there, she was supposed to win
    that's not an excuse for the right, but at least they didn't railroad their best chance [candidate] to possibly beat trump
    just goes to show...
    when the choice is a disingenuous, lying, no substance ckunt and an unknown* commodity
    sometimes people will be willing to go with the unknown


    *unknown politically

    Dude I must agree. Nowhere should have to decide between Cruz and Rubio for it's lost before choosing.

    Agreeing again. The DNC is run mostly by old white men for the benefit of other old whites. They are clueless to several stunning head-palm issues:
    1) Hillary is toxic, was never electable and is near universally hated for 1000+ reasons.
    2) Playing the Democrat party as GOP-Lite is a surefire recipe for failure.
    3) Catering to the idiot Antifa fools will serve them no better than the Tea Party fools serve the corrupt GOP

    And yet no one grasps these basic truths

    Pay attention or do not, it doesn't matter. No one who "is" paying attention is trying to say what Trump was thinking, it was enough to observe how little he cared.

    "satanic predecessors" is a great turn of phrase... in your realm is that applied to all POTUS? Or merely all but Trump? Also nice reality twist by stating that not caring is somehow more sincere at a funeral. LOL. Yeah and did you not manage to notice the other POTUS caring to pay attention? Not so much ehh?

    Yeah we're going to agree about the media being obsessed with negativity. However having Googled "President H.W. Bush" permit me to share that 24 of 25 news articles did NOT mention Trump. What this says is that the "exploitative, opportunistic garbage" is what you posted. 1 in 25 means that 96% news is real (on that topic) whether it's called fake or not. Data my friend.

    Oh my gawd this is soooo true.. and yet do not look around DSP for those many who parrot this nonsense. There is more bragadocio in habitually yanking someone off balance when shaking hands... and yet its all about the chest thumping and bragging. Isn't it?

    and I cited the source so just continue to pretend you didn't read it either.

    You can state this but the Truth is that all POTUS are the planets thought leader for 4 years at a time. This is due to the elevated stature on the world stage that the USA has enjoyed for many years. No denial carries water but only you can convince you.

    Thanks for sharing.. I had some idea. The Supreme Court should be attentive to American's and NOT solely to corporations; Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation should have not been derailed by some womans claims from 30 years ago but they should have been open to a review of the 96% of his bullshit "POTUS is a monarch above the law" documents withheld from the Senate during the accelerated hearings.
    We all like ISIS being reduced in size and effectivity, Kumbayah, thank you US Military. Not sure what you think Trump's tweets mattered.
    I like the economy. Really? Kumbayah again. I like sunshine!! Go Global Warming!! Sis boom rah!!
    You do not make enough to like the tax cuts since they were NOT for your tax bracket.
    I like our loyalty to Israel too... do you think that Trump helped them by moving the embassy? Not so much
    You like negotiating with North Korea and then NEVER verifying anything that Kim said? Yeah, not surprised.

    Your position of Immigration is thought provoking. The adored GOP is separating families from their kids and you like that? The Army is sent to the border as an election stunt and instructed by the Trump admin "not to detain or impede immigrants" Say what? Total waste of funds.. but not as much as wasted on his 139 days of golf vacations. Whatever.

    If you recall when we'd spoke previously I'm completely good with having a border wall. Two border walls for that matter. Let JPL design it to be remotely surveyed by all Americans that care and when someone arrives at the border.. you process them. Bag and tag and give them their tax ID # and 1 year to pass a citizenship test and then Welcome to America... just like they said to all of our great grandparents. Put them to work building the wall to pay for admission. Not sounding so Dem there am I?

    Yeah NO. That is 97% of ALL scientists. Not Dem scientists, nor GOP scientists but all scientists. So when did you lose your science? Sorry to hear. Perhaps if you'll pay closer attention in the future you can gain science back.

    I wanted to save something I agreed with for the closing. I did NOT want Her Royal Cancer to rule, it would have sucked because NOTHING would have changed. I don't care for many of Trump's efforts to ruin America but he's not Hillary so we'll give him that.


    Talk about trying to find middle ground...now let's see anyone follow that lead
