we are 100% sure brett05 is not gregg's alter forum ego, right?

Prayer in school won't help children. You know what will? Good parenting! You know what could help most parents? Alleviating life's problems. How does one do that? Good paying jobs, healthcare, and counseling for parents. If mom is too busy working 3 minimum wage jobs to fully vest in her children and their children turn to the streets, no amount of prayer is going to salvage that kid. I can't stand religion and think it's the bane of human existence. I consider myself a morally sound person for the most part and I don't need a mythical sky daddy to tell me how to treat other beings in general.

the buster is going to get realllllllll good the next four years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 08:09 AM) His boasting to politicians that there were 3 million to 5 million illegal votes, thus costing him the popular vote is like Kim Jong Il boasting he had 11 holes in one the first time he golfed. Isn't is possible that some the illegal votes went Trump's way?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 10:05 AM) Rubio today proved he has no spine. Tillerson?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) It's good to know that we elected a 13 year old girl as President of the United States. This should end well. #maga

Awesome, Trump and his ilk are adding words to the dictionary now?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 22, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/mi...a-a7540476.html Not sure why Trump thinks this is necessary.

If you think Trump is going to improve the economy with his policies I have some beach property to sell you in Nebraska.

I wasn't around when Obama was first elected but was there this much talk about it like Trump?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 02:45 PM) I never said YOU specifically said she was strong. I said a lot of people -- professionals -- were saying it. As noted, the election was considered a joke until the actual results started pouring in...that's when the laughter stopped. That SNL skit with Chapelle and Rock summed it up nicely.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 01:50 PM) Again. You likely said this EXACT same thing this time, too. And Hillary was a strong candidate...until she wasn't. For all you know in four years, Trump will have done some crazy s*** that somehow -- against all odds -- worked and his approval rating skyrockets...likely? Don't know. Possible? I do know. And yes, it's possible. I did say the exact same thing except I never thought Hillary was a strong candidate. Nice try though trollboy.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) This. He could absolutely win in 4 years. People should stop acting like he is going to just go away in 4 years. Any strong candidate will wipe the floor with a Trump.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) Um, yes they do. Perhaps not directly, but their aides/communications people do it routinely, especially when it comes to the economy they inherit. I was going to say GWB but he probably blamed Clinton for 9/11 so.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 11:52 AM) Every President blames the prior administration. That's nothing new. I think you're missing the point. Trump is so narcissistic that he probably thinks he'll accomplish all the hot air he just blew out. He will ultimately fail (I seriously want to eat crow on this) but I just want to see how he'll pivot when it happens.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 11:49 AM) President Trump be the first to blame his predecessor. Nice strawman mate.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) I feel just awful for a lot of the people that think they are going to prosper the next four years. All of the money is going to go to the top of the income chain faster and easier than ever before. Trump already will have his excuse ready, It's Obama's fault.

Guys get ready for a crazy ride, we have entered the f***ing twilight zone! Seriously, what's the percentage you would say this guy is one in done. He looks way over is head but we'll see.

"We will get people off of welfare." Trump is trying to rally POC but they just won't buy it. Neo-Nazi's have to be pissed haha

How can anyone think Trump has charisma. He sounds like such a f***ing phony.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 07:57 AM) So he should just sit there and let a political hack who was famous 50 years ago belittle him and the Presidency? Get over it already. Lewis hasn't done anything since then, how long you gonna ride that? At some point, Trump's twitter will have to be disabled. It's pretty comical how thin skinned the guy, but if some world leaders start goading him, that's when issues could arise.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) Rephrase the question. Do you mean that its entirely Trump's fault or that WW3 occurs on his watch. Cause I think it is almost 0 that Trump "starts WW3." He is a blowhard, not a bully. There is a big difference. I should have said on his watch. I personally don't think the people around him let it happen.

So what percentage would you people put on Trump starting WW3?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) Im pretty sure that if both parties worked together they could put together some pretty amazing controls that could result in better/cheaper healthcare for everyone. Its unfortunate. Both parties have overlords to serve. Money talks.

caulfield pretty much summed it up pretty well. The US should not emulate those countries with the type of resources we have, we should exceed them. Sure, the US is still the primary go to place in the world for immigration but we absolutely can do better. That being said, our politicians are to blame for the failures of our country and the people who elect them as well. edit: I feel like the US attitude is "I got mine, now go f*** yourself!"
