DogofWar1 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 50 minutes ago, SkinsPassion4Life said: Jill Stein was colluding with the Russians? Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if she made statements about lifting sanctions to at least some people. But she also didn't really have as many fingers in the email pot. But it's very important to understand what was going on at that dinner and generally. Russia wants to destabilize the West, NATO, and the USA. They've worked hard cultivating extremists on both sides for that purpose. Stein was the perfect patsy. She had bought into the notion that, because the US was the world's dominant superpower, it must be responsible for most of the problems in the world. That "not so innocent" sentiment was cultivated in both the far left and far right. It ultimately found mainstream purchase in the right. But that's what makes this sudden about face on Russia from the right so dangerous. Russia wants us as destroyed as possible on the world stage. They want to take back over the former soviet states and fill the global power vacuum. After all, if the US and the EU take steps back, who fills the void? China and Russia mostly. Of course, the collusion issue comes in with the sanctions because Russia can only do so much while their economy is in tatters. So you infiltrate extremists, push them to go and succeed in the mainstream, and then push whichever horse of yours won to lift sanctions. Then you keep destabilizing NATO and the US and the EU and enjoy gaining tons of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 And who could vote for the Republican platform? No retraining programs for displaced workers. Failed voodoo economics, again Wealth redistribution upward No viable healthcare reform It's all about profit Roll back of EPA Hell, roll back before the New Deal safely net programs That platform is so anti-human it's not funny.

Well...I never believed he was a Republican...if Hilary was a Republican, he would have run as a Democrat....I'm just hopeful congress does it's job and he signs the bills.....I never thought Trump was going to change, although I'm a bit surprised he still tweets the way he does.

Actually, I like this answer better because despite being able to vote for ANY candidate without it having any effect you STILL chose to vote Trump. You could have kept your hands clean by voting for McMullin, instead you chose to vote Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thank you...I've been trying to tell you and others that I'm not a Trump lover.....I'd much rather have Pence But let's be honest, as Republicans, we can't just abandon Trump, because the Party will be held accountable by the voters....

Total jobs created over the first 6 months was the lowest since 2011 or something like that. Not a huge deal but likely indicative of the economic slowdown that many are anticipating. Domestic car sales in the 2nd quarter were also trending down significantly compared to the last few years. #inthebiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GOP ever wants a shot at regaining the center you need the courage to correct the far Right otherwise the fringe will dictate your party. I've said it repatedly, if the GOP had put up a decent centerist candidate, they could ha e won my vote. But after the BS that the Party and Hill leaders have shoveled on behalf of Trump, no way. They all need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's because they know that their healthcare costs are going to be astronomical again with the Republican bills. Plus the economy slowing and certain recession. Got to hang onto the money they have. I know that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
