  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    #17, I have worked in the Silicon Valley and normal everday homes get $250 dollar water bills. That is without swimming pools. Swimming pools are something from the past.

    Hi Diane,

    At this time I'm not sure on the split of California...it depends on exactly how they propose to split it and what makes it to the ballot.

    It sure would be nice to stop filling all those swimming pools in La...Hollywood...and Silicone Valley with our water while we put out signs every year saying if it's yellow it mellow if it's brown flush it down. SF wasted more water with broken main pipes than we could save by counting every drop. We live on wells so when they go empty we have to buy water in tank trunks. We cut back on Showers while So. ca. fills there pools, and we are the rainforest of Ca. All politics of course.

    Hope you had another great day.

    So Coal, who do you support? Based on your last comment I'd guess you're an anarchist? How can you support the Koch Party based on your comment? No worry, I have a few young friends that profess to be anarchists....they're bitter as hell. The only way out of this mess is by the truth reaching voters. Problem is, once that truth gets out, all hell will break loose before things correct themselves.

    On topic again....One hundred comments or so back I tried to point out that support for better trade policies starts by voting for the party that will actually implement them. Sure there are misguided Dems, but voting for the Koch Party equates to a zero percent chance of reversing free trade policies.

    This is one of many issues where Kochpublican propaganda has hoodwinked the populous into voting against their own best interests time and time again. To say you're against free trade on this blog and then turn around and vote for the party of free trade is just ludicrous.

    For example anti -american McConnell filibustered bills introduced by Dems that would have ended tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas. Until Joe and Jill voter hear this over and over again , we lose the battle.

    AGREED, Thom! This is something that Americans care about --jobs/livlihoods for their fellow Americans , themselves , really , as they know they are one outsourcing away from a similar fate as they.... Obama beat Clinton in '08 in part because of his criticism of her support of NAFTA - he literally said he'd re-write NAFTA wd he get into office. Trump saw this and he used the same script and criticised Clinton on NAFTA and he said HE"D re-write it . Also recall Michael Moore's spot on analysis and prognostication that Trump wd win because he used a word nobody on both parties in DC used for 40 years ( from Reagan onwards) has uttered - TARIFFS /protectionism. .............. 'Michael Moore Explains Why TRUMP Will Win'....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKeYbEOSqYc .........Also, Thom is wrong here in this video in saying that the establishment Democrats support protectionist policies -- see , eg ,what has been said from the face of the Dem establishment, Clinton, above. This is pretty much what the Democratic Civil war today is all about -- do we continue the tilt towards Wall st , globalism or to Main st and the everyday American worker as Dems traditionally tilted towards BEFORE the Third Way and Clinton hijacked the party establishment that it controls even thru today ( see '20 est Dem favorite Biden's tilt to Wall st, eg).

    Ya Rick Steve, Maddow has been debunked many times as I presented to you just a couple of days ago. You may have forgot to set your clock back that day and missed it so,

    Lets see, we have been jockeying back and forth with Iran since the 50's. The national debt has been piling up for at least the last 18 years, if not longer. Thanks Bush and Obama.

    If you don't like his judicial or cabinet picks, then the solution is very simple. The democrats should nominate someone who can win the presidency. They did not do that in 2016. And frankly, I'm not sure who will emerge in 2020 that has a chance of winning at this point. An identity politics idealogue will fare no better in 2020 than Hillary.

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    Coalhead: Are you aware of Trump's cabinet and judicial picks? Are you aware of the national debt time bomb built into the tax break for his own class? All of this has nothing to do with his piss fetish with women one third of his age.

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    Coffee #43: You mentioned Iran. Tillerson just got fired because of his stance on Iran...he wouldn't condemn the Nuclear Arms agreement. I repeat: war with Iran is the goal, not with China, Russia, North Korea. Pompeo is hard right and will go along with this. BTW: All above info is already commonly known to many. This war wil be the one to keep Trump in power while our country burns down in financial ruin..... been Putin's plan all along.

    So now I'm waiting for you to slam Trump and the Kochbaggers for their complicity with Russia....isn't that the same song you're talking about?

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    Funny, but I don't see anyone on the list indicted for collusion with Russia. Do you? And when is Mueller going to indict Trump for collusion? I thought this was the purpose of his investigation. Seems like he has gone off in a few other directions.

    But that is to be expected. After all, he has to indict somebody for something.

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    So you just proved that you do not read the news. Here is a list of those indicted by Mueller. The Republicans are favoring party over country. Mueller is also a Republican. It affects us all as Russia announces a new arms race and we say nothing. Party over Country, think about it.

    What news have you been watching Legend?

    I'll ask you again. Tell us how your life is now worse because of Trump being president.

    All you guys can come up with is that you don't like Trump the person. Well, join the club. But so what? As I had a Trump voter tell me before the election, he was voting for a president, not a pope,

    Is the economy good or bad? Has he started any new armed conflicts? Has there been massive layoffs and unemployment? For all his bluster about immigration, have there been mass deportations of illegals? How is Silicon Valley, and the tech sector, doing?

    Come on...tell us how the country is now worse off. Specifics and actuals please, and this does not require a google search.

    stopgap #41: An important point to remember: The same GOP House that denies climate change denies collusion!

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    When Mueller actually indicts someone for collusion, then you can brag about how smart you are. Until then, not so much.

    Yes, it appears the WH is in turmoil. And yet, the country is humming right along anyway. Even Stopgap couldn't really come up with anyway in which Trump has actually made his life worse. Makes you wonder what Trump might actually accomplish if he was more disciplined. Oh well, I doubt we will ever see that version of Trump.

  • Democrats Should Steal Trump's Thunder on Trade   6 years 29 weeks ago

    #44. What is wrong with us? I guess that we actually read the news, is what is wrong with us. The White House is a daily train wreck. Do you not read and comprehend? Tillerson is fired today. Seems that Trump does not want to listen to the people that he appointed. So he sits in his bedroom watching Fox and Friends for guidance and tweets about what they brainwash him to say.

    About the Republican Intelligence Comittee conclusion of investigation. Suggest you watch the whole thing. I have challenged you Trolls to watch and debunk Rachael Maddow and have never gotten a response.
