America cannot possibly survive 4 more years of Dumpster Fire Donny, but fuck me, how can the Dems think running any of those 3 is an alternative?

Props to Canada on their common sense marijuana legalization as well! If only the same could be enacted nationally here, but we’re too busy fighting over which bathrooms everyone should be using. The crapper where Jim isn’t is my personal preference. Only the government could F that up.

Elizabeth Warren's career. I guess by her standard we are all now Cherokee. I want my fire water and government cheese plus interest. On a day where your President called a woman horseface, publicly, youre dwelling on the other side of the aisle? Fuck me. Amazing. This is why the rest of the world is both laughing at and repulsed by the US these days.

Horseface for Stormy is a compliment.

Problem for the Dims is that they can't win national elections due to the fact that have alienated every possible voter other than those in places like San Fran and Portland where human feces and used needles cover the sidewalks.

Have they? The Dims are definitely hapless and a total mess with no real leaders in sight, but Trump and his power hungry congress have alienated a fuck ton of people outside of California, both domestically and international. As incompetent as they are, I still feel I have no choice but to trust them more with power, given the current regime.
At some point, the bold-faced direct lies, hyperboles, and pointless ego-driven rallies will have to start wearing off on some of the normally undecided electorate that voted for him the first time.

Not sure why one can't trust the current regime. Trump said he was going to turn the apple cart over and he has done that with the Status Quo (both domestically and abroad) fighting him at every turn. For most Americans, the political system was doing nothing for them but speaking to them in forked tongue. I'm not a Trump fan, but I'm a fan of what he is trying to do. Unless you are in the top 1 % or have deep political connections, there isn't much for you to lose.

Trump ONLY speaks for the fucking 1%...are you people really so dimwitted as to believe he gives a fuck about anyone other than himself or his cronies? He is the worst president in history and most reviled internationally...he has pissed all over every one of your traditional allies and cozied up to 2 brutal dictators in Un and Putin...because he wants what they have.
He is a narcissistic dullard of a man baby

It’s hardly about his politics, as it’s quite obvious he doesn’t actually believe in anything, he’ll just go with whatever is going to get him the most praise for his fragile ego and any semblance of good press coverage.
Politics aside, he’s really just an atrocity of a human being without a single redeeming quality. A nightmare of a spokesperson for the country. Him lecturing NATO countries about paying their fair share, after he has stiffed everyone from lawyers to contractors to banks to accountants, is as rich as it gets.
The alternative with the Dims is not great either, but it’s basically pick your poison right now.

Trump will go down as one of the better Presidents in the modern era. Please, our international allies have been taking advantage of the American people for decades. Trade deals have literally carved out the American heartland and left it in ruins. That's why he won in places like Ohio because he spoke to the actual problem these people have been dealing with.

With the 24/7 newscycle being so prominent, it's only natural.

Have you been drinking this morning?
He promised to return manufacturing jobs that were shipped overseas by greedy corps to cheaper production facilities in the pacific rim...that isnt trade deals,....its simple greed...and none of those jobs are returning home...he has started trade wars with every single entity on the 0ppanet and is costing the US bigly...oh I am enjoying seeing those chickens come home to roost...he lied to the steel and c0oal belt, and its hilarious watching the toothless Appalachian fucks who voted for him cry in their meth.
how have trade and military allied been taking advantage of the 'poor' American people? that's absurdist humour.
Ford just announced massive job cuts because of the trade war with China...that he is badly losing...so many US jobs will dry up due to his steel and aluminum tariffs (hint...US cannot possibly supply all the steel it consumes...EVER...those plants are torn down and jobs gone)...plus all products that use steel will cost more...enjoy adding $5000 to the price of a new car...also, while the rich are worth trillions more due to tax cuts, the buying power of the average american's dollar continues to flounder...and wages are stagnant. The US is becoming the Wiemar Fucking republic. Oh, and would you like to discuss the deficit? or national debt? And where is the massive 2 Trillion dollar tax revenue shortfall going to be made up? Another hint...it rhymes with Medicaid...and then Cheeto will raid Social Security.
Enjoy...your country is being turned into a shithole...OHHHH the irony

You're talking about problems that have been allowed to metastasize over decades. You aren't gonna turn around this ship in 2 years let alone a decade probably. You have to slowly chip away at the problem and even then it probably will fail only because the country is so far gone. Companies will opt to move jobs overseas due to greed but then you can't allow them to ship their product back into the country for free. How does that make any sense? The socio-economic cost is out of the world due to drug addiction and collapse of the family unit. Case in point is that there was a 150 year old trade treaty with China that has allowed them to ship products to the US via the USPS at cheaper rates than what it costs a US business to send a package across town in a lot of cases. This is why on Ebay you see cheap, counterfeit products selling for 1 dollar plus free shipping coming out of China. Not only has this type of deal hammered the USPS in terms of losses it puts US small businesses out of business due to the US market being flooded with cheap, crappy knockoffs. Just today Trump canceled the treaty. Why hasn't any President since the internet age dealt with this? US Small Business lobbyists brought this up to Obama and he did nothing. This is why Trump gets votes. Militarily the US has been defending the global oil shipping routes for decades and at what cost? Do we even have a single US Navy vessel defending our borders? This is why Trump is asking for NATO members to pay their fair share. Does Canada have a single vessel in the Middle East right now defending price stability of oil? As far as your last paragraph, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Trump is putting pressure on China because we hold all the cards. China wouldn't be resisting if they weren't getting away with murder which is why they are resisting because they don't want to lose all the trade advantages they have had for so long. China can't consume all the products its makes. It needs to sell to the US market otherwise there will be a revolution and the communists' heads will be on stakes. There is no way to replace the US market either. China has let this problem get too far out of control to win in the long run. If I owe the bank a few thousand dollars, I have a problem. If I owe the bank several trillion, the bank has a problem. The rich are worth trillions more because of Obama not Trump. Those horses left the barn a long time ago. People are gonna complain about the deficit and national debt but Obama doubled it in 8 years. The interest payments coming due are due to those decisions not Trumps. There isn't anything in Social Security to raid. That money was spent a long time ago. All that is left is IOUs from the Treasury. The SS problem has been festering for decades and was easily predicted going back as far due to demographics and nobody has done anything. America has been a shithole for awhile, but it is my shithole and I will defend this shithole until my last shit.
