U.S. Politics 2017 (split fm US Election: 2016)

[Bird_Gunner45]

I noticed pushing fake intelligence leading to the invasion of a country and death of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands, or perhaps more, of foreign civilians wasn't on that list.

He's a weener alright and apparently lies about crap like the black unemployment rate in certain cities but he hardly seems like a warmonger hitler incarnate that the media is trying to paint him to be. 

Yes he's butting heads with North Korea but they seem a bigger threat to our way of life, and the planet, than Iraq or Afghanistan was.

This is true,  he hasn't George Bush'd yet so I'll give him that.

:facepalm: The problem is that the sheeple and right-wing snowflakes inthe US refuse to see that he's essentially an 8 year old. Bregs, lies, and calls names.

ON US politics, ans speaking of tge real sheeple, at least Alabama finally decided not to vote in a racist, nativist,  pedophile.

But, see this from another person who is not a Trump fan: While not without his hiccups, Trump surely had a successful 2017 ...

"His record of conservative achievement has been overshadowed by a series of self-inflicted wounds."

( The replies are interesting. )

If you are referring to Roy Moore, he lost in spite of Trump and Bannon both endorsing him.

"Ruby-red Alabama elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. Is it a sign of things to come next November?"

That list of worst things doesn't strike me as too earth shattering.  Defacto allies with Russia in order to fight a sicco enemy like ISIS? Good?

1. He has failed to condemn the alt-right.

Like this?

Or this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeK-f3_7Wv4

Trump repeating himself over and over that he condemns racism and white supremacy. He rightly points out that no matter how many times he disavows that shit he still gets accused of failing to condemn it.

I'm sure the WaPo isn't, but with stuff like Points 1 and 2, I start to wonder about the leanings of the author.  Not sure how "being president" is the top thing that he has done in his first year - by that thinking, the same could be said of Hillary if she was elected president. 

The Paris Agreement one irks me too, but I'm not going to stoke the flames anymore.

You are not the only one who feels that way.
