I read somewhere yesterday where they have hundreds of testimonial pages from Maxwell but got delayed going through the process of releasing them.

I think it's interesting that Trump people don't see the significance in Trump not being welcome at these types of things. Even John McCain, a member of his own party, Trump was not allowed to attend.

He was an outcast at the George HW Bush funeral, and wasn't welcome at the Lewis funeral.

This guy is so hated its unbelievable.

He’s hated by them because he wants to change some things that they hold very dear. Things like their corruption, overinflated salaries, kickbacks and under the table bribes, etc. He is a threat to their power and wealth. That’s why they hate him and are going after him, Dems and some pubs.

Obama divided the country and further disenfranchised real Americans. He was also a very eloquent LIAR and a criminal.

Sheesh go google all these issues. If you don't understand why President Obama would talk about all the things that John Lewis devoted his life fighting for and against during his eulogy then I really can't help you. Criticizing President Obama for somehow breaking your sense of decorum while Trump is president is really mind-blowing.

I have lots of work to do. I'll come check back later and see if your google searches have paid off.

Trump has not injected politics in a eulogy. This is much worse than some unwritten rule about politics at the white house.

"Obama then made a case for granting statehood to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, turning Election Day into a national holiday, implementing automatic voter registration and getting rid of the Senate's filibuster, "a Jim Crow relic," to make these voting rights issues a reality."

Yeah these seem real important to talk about lol

you had your turn obama...move on

It was very telling that the sitting president was not welcome at a hero's funeral.

This is more a reflection on them than the president. It’s another sign of their complete lack of honesty and integrity. They can’t work together. They can’t put aside their pettiness to do the jobs they were elected to do because of their personal feelings. It’s unprofessional. They act like petulant children when they don’t get their way.

So far the unsealed documents implicate Clinton, but not Trump (there are other unsealed documents showing this which are not in the linked Newsweek article).

Is it bad that a part of me kind of hopes trump is involved lol. Then we could get another candidate on the conservative side

I don't think so.... Who would you want to run? I wouldn't think Pence would stand a chance.

John Kasich could have a legit shot at winning... Ted Cruz was second in the delegate count in 2016 but is now seen as gutless worm for licking Trumps boots after what happened in 2016.

A Kasich/Rubio ticket seems smart to me... Kasich for Ohio, Rubio for Florida... Those two states are critical for the GOP. I think Rubio has about a 50% approval rating in Florida, and Kasich had a 62% approval rating as Governor in Ohio. I think I read it was the highest approval rating in the nation.
 
Someone recorded a conversation between Jim Inhofe and Donald Trump... They were talking about protecting the name of Confederate traitor Robert E. Lee, and Trump said he "had about 95,000 positive retweets on that. That's a lot", referring to his tweet about not renaming military bases.

Trump asks Inhofe, "we're going to keep the name Robert E. Lee?".... Inhofe responds, "Just trust me, I'll make it happen".

Good to know that with everything going on in the world, Trump is taking care of important business like Robert E. Lee.

Sorry...i can't take anything serious that starts off with misleading stats.

"Worst economy in US history" "most deaths...."

It is almost like there was a pandemic or something...

Worst economic quarter in US history.

How much better would the economy be if Clinton was president? You're trollicious.

Haha, you can't bring yourself to criticize dear leader for anything can you?

United States of America
US GDP contracted 32.9%
155,000 dead

Germany
GDP contracted 10.1%
9,200 dead

France
GDP contracted 14%
30,254 dead

Italy
GDP contracted 12.4%
35,141 dead

Canada
GDP contracted 12%
8,900 dead

China
GDP grew by 3.2%
4,643 dead

Russia
GDP contracted by 8%
14,000 dead

Look guys.... at some point someone has to answer for this. And we all know who the buck ultimately stops with. If this were Obama, you guys would be going absolutely nuts demanding his removal. Fox News would be filling the airwaves that we are doing worse than everyone in the world. It's becoming more and more clear that we aren't doing a good job.... Regardless of your politics, this can only be described as a complete and total failure. You guys are like "well duh, it's a pandemic"... But none of the other advanced economies contracted like ours did. The entire Eurozone shrank by 12%... The US shrank by 33%!!!! Worst in the developed world. Most deaths in the developed world. Most cases in the developed world.

Back when the numbers weren't like this, you could throw out all the qualifying stuff like "well per capita this", "more testing that", "our population is fat", etc... But when the numbers get this big and this out out of control, people don't give a damn about that stuff anymore.

This is a failed response. Period. End of story. We failed. Time to get over it and move on with something new. POTUS, Kushner, Governors, Mayors, all of them. Vote out all 50 governors, get rid of POTUS, and lets start with a new plan.

Do you have the brain power to realize our economy was as strong or stronger than the countries in which you enumerated thus there was more to lose? See how that works, charlatan.


Either it would be better or it would not. Just make an attempt to be honest and nothing more. You either have that ability or you do not and if by chance you do not then it's because you embrace being a jizzhole.

In addition, are the last two months jobs gain the largest on record or not?

Will the 3rd quarter GDP be the largest on record or not?

Stocking up on Kleenex?

:ez-laugh:

none of this is relevant to the discussion at hand. We are talking about how dumb it is to say Trump had the worse economic quarter in us history without mentioning a global pandemic

and yes we all know who the buck ultimately stops with...China
