That's basically every president. Not saying that makes it ok.

According to those, Trump, a one term president, was on course to spend as much as Obama, a 2 term president, if he won a second term.

Good job to Joey B for only increasing the debt by about 17%.

    Sorry, not buying into the project 25 boogie man. Take that down the road.

    Since you seem to be a fan of youtube, here's a video of him stating his policy on abortion, in addition to other crazy stuff he says. To summarize, he's leaving up to each state, as I've heard him state many times.

    I don't care what adults do with their hard earned money. Some 26 year old guy wants to get triple F breasts, knock yourself out. As long as they pay with it with their own money. Children should not be subject surgical or chemical transition methods. You don't get to screw with biology and natural evolution with no consequences. Not everything is reversible. There are far, far more important issues than "trans issues". Save that discussion for college.

    So no, it won't affect me.

    Excuse me, sweaty, I'm a masculine presenting trans lesbian who uses him/him pronouns. So yeah, basically a straight dude.

    But seriously, blame your state government for abortion related items. That's all the SC did: kick it back to the states. Your friends in blue had many opportunities to codify abortion rights over the years. Blame them too. Or blame me if it makes you feel better.

    The T people care, or rather what qualifies as such, is still contested. Many countries have many different opinions on the subject, and the long term impact from some of the "care".

    Are those 15 million here through legal means or otherwise? The distinction matters a great deal to many people.

    I'll tell ya what. In four years, if he deconstructs our form of government, uses the military to silence his opponents, and proclaims himself god king of Merica, I'll eat my words.

    But we both know nothing even approaching that will happen. He'll talk shit, use Twitter as he poops, then talk some more shit. Fin.

    Why? Nothing happened during his first presidency. If he'd learn to shut his mouth and stay off Twitter, I would have forgotten he existed.

    Talk is cheap. The man is a career shit talker. Hit me up when he actually does something that negatively impacts me.

    That's not even close to the same thing. One is the accusation that a sitting president would ensure there will not be another election implying he would hold office until he chooses otherwise.

    Your link is about a bunch of rednecks trying to interrupt the confirmation of a person who was already elected to be the next president (which means the election already took place).

    There are plenty of genuine reasons to shit on Trump. Stick to the truth.
