    I am not naive enough to believe there is not republican pork but giving yourself a raise during a time where many taxpayers are loosing their jobs does not look good. The democratic congress has a leader that has shown to be well Nancy Pelosi, you know the one that wracks up bills flying family around in the gov't funded private jet amongst other gluttonous activities.

    And so is the trillions more we are in debt now a real thing.

    If the same outcome and it was Hillary would you have the same response? We all know that's a no because tribal politics is a real thing and it's why we are in this position today.

    FYI I think it would have been much worse, being I don't think Hillary would have gotten the stimulus package done if she did business would have been left out

    Believe it or not Germ I personally believe that as an individual I am more empowered to control how my lifestyle is maintained than who is president. I never protested when Barry got elected. I never had Barry derangement where I blamed every bad thing on who was the president.

    Bill's speaking fees dropped because his wife was not President, there has never been a first family that benefited more from being elected than the Clintons.

    I have never protested either, just pointed out some data. FYI when you disagree with someone does not mean you are protesting or have a syndrome.

    There was plenty of OHS also and that's the problem.

    I can admit those things, no problem

    The tax cut has produce more revenue, Fact
    Trump has cut red tape, Fact

    For this one, this not true, see South Korea, they had a plan and we did not(most of the world either).

    So those are facts, just like the ones I posted.

    Not a fact just excuses.

    You would be a great campaign manager, in fact, I do believe you could get him elected in 2020.

    I'll go with "making American great again" if you can tell me when that was? What time period?

    Consider the alternative to Trump once again, a recycled entitled life long "public servant" who has enriched his family and those in his orbit that enrich his interests further. The medias reaction to actuations has been laughable to anyone with common sense,

    Not to be a lemming and liking the comment noodles but those are very valid points. The democrats have really contributed zero leadership they have been too busy attacking.

    On Jan. 29, economic adviser Peter Navarro warned the White House in a memo addressed to the National Security Council that COVID-19 could take more than half a million American lives and cause nearly $6 trillion in economic damage.

    On Jan. 30 Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar warned Trump in a subsequent call that the virus could become a pandemic and that China should be criticized for its lack of transparency, per the Times. Trump dismissed Azar as alarmist and rejected the idea of criticizing China.

    Trump response 8 days later
    Feb. 7, Remarks at North Carolina Opportunity Now Summit in Charlotte, N.C.:
    "I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."

    On Feb. 23, Navarro doubled down on his warnings in another memo, this time addressed to the president, stating that up to 2 million Americans could die of the virus.

    FYI tax revenues go up every year, so stating it was a "tax cut" one cannot prove that it was. For some reason deficit seems to explode after them.

    FY 2019 $3.46 trillion (actual)
    FY 2018 $3.33 trillion
    FY 2017 $3.32 trillion
    FY 2016 $3.27 trillion
    FY 2015 $3.25 trillion
    FY 2014 $3.02 trillion
    FY 2013 $2.77 trillion
    FY 2012 $2.45 trillion
    FY 2011 $2.30 trillion
    FY 2010 $2.16 trillion
    FY 2009 $2.10 trillion

    I was having a nice thread with Dnoodles and Sota, it was informative and they were making good points, we don't need your dribble.

    Iran really doesn’t get the whole concept of military brinkmanship. At some point Putin or Xi is going to have to step up and tell them that blowing up their own ships and airplanes isn’t the most effective way to intimidate your enemies.
