Take some accountability for your actions, and remember those words when you've got four more years of Trump come November.


Every single thing you claim other people are doing is exactly what you yourself have done.

Having voted for Trump, you can take credit for all that he has done. What has he done? He cancelled all nuclear weapons treaties and increased the National Debt by $20 trillion, but hasn't brought back jobs from China nor deported 22 million illegal aliens. Before you blame the Democrats, Trump needs written plans, not tweets, to describe how he'd accomplish his wonderful promises. Sorry, there are no written plans, just the tweets. Yet you feel good about Trump's second term where he finally finishes removing 22 million illegal aliens. Funny how Trump, in 2017, stopped making estimates of how many aliens were in the US and never restarted the effort to count them. He didn't want you to know he failed to do anything. He even wrote an executive order only last week to NOT count them in the Census. The less you know for a fact, the better for Trump, as far as holding him accountable.

If they're not counted it the census, it won't be long till the sanctuary cities turn on the illegals themselves. But as long as that free Federal money keeps pouring in, it will further promote bad behavior.

My vote for Trump in 2016 in Indiana was as meaningful as your vote for Hillary in Texas in 2016.

But sure. I'll take credit if you're going to force me to. Trump is a great president.

Trump made promises that he could have delivered. Removing illegal aliens was a great one. He already had all the authority he would ever need to do it. The only thing missing? A plan. A plan was never made. Another promise Trump made was about negotiating better nuclear weapons treaties. Again, he already had all he would ever need to do it. The only thing missing? Negotiations never got started. Trump let all those treaties expire. Trump is very bad at executing tasks, but he was bad at that as a businessman and very likely he will get worse at performing the ordinary tasks, such as deporting aliens or negotiating, in his second term. What would his motivation be to do better in the future that he didn't have in the past?

In six weeks we start mail in voting. In three months, Trump is thrown out of office. All the shit you guys are posting about what he is trying to do will disappear, will be reversed.

Then, if not sooner, his trials will begin.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Trump's legacy will be with us after he is dead: $20 trillion increase in the national debt will be with us. Nuclear weapon treaties? Those treaties are dead and that could kill us. Covid-19? It will still be killing citizens and wreaking the economy. Trump can't be punished for any of those because that is too partisan in a country where incompetence is a partisan issue, but income tax evasion can be punished. I hope Trump's tax returns get an audit that kills Trump's fortune with penalties and interest on his unpaid taxes. Income tax evasion put this President in jail: South Korea’s Former President Park Geun-hye Is Jailed for 24 Years. Why not Trump? He is hiding something criminal in his returns. I want to know what.

Emails to Trump's people show how energy industry helped repeal methane rules

Methane, which leaks from oil and gas wells, accounts for about 9.5% of greenhouse gas emissions (measured in pounds www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overview-greenhouse-gases ) from human activity in the United States, according to EPA data. But pound for pound, the comparative impact of methane is 25 times greater than CO2 over a 100-year period. Do the math. Methane is a bigger deal than CO2 in global warming.

Not long after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the head of a fossil fuels industry group requested a call with the president’s transition team. The subject: Barack Obama’s requirement that oil and gas companies begin collecting data on their releases of methane.

That outreach, by Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, appeared to quickly yield the desired results.

“Looks like this will be easier than we thought,” David Kreutzer, an economist who was helping to organize the new president’s Environmental Protection Agency, wrote of canceling the methane reporting requirement in an email to another member of the transition team on Feb. 10, 2017.

Three weeks after that email, the EPA officially withdrew the reporting requirement — and effectively blocked the compilation of data that would allow for new regulations to control methane, a powerful climate-warming gas.

Fossil fuel industry players, working with allies in the early days of Trump’s EPA, engineered the repeal of the methane reporting requirements with no internal analysis, then created the rationale for the decision after the fact.

That repeal illegally delayed the development of additional regulations to reduce methane emissions that the Trump administration did not want.

What's with the "enlightened centrism?"

I assure you that I can be reasoned with. There's nothing extreme about what I believe.

Can you? Your post about Biden definitely came from the radical left. You know it's easy to point fingers when you pay no mind to how things were during different times. Or lack understanding of all the issues that go into making a decision. You claimed you have been forced again and again to vote for the lesser of two evils. That's what happens in congress as well. Poor Joe has gotton stuck again and again voting for the lesser of two evils, mostly because of the far right and left. Bidens in the middle but left leaning. That's right were our elected officials should be.

Some on the left want to tear down the Lincoln Monument. How about you? Do you think it should be torn down?
