You're crediting Private Bonespurs for the demise of ISIS now??

He was smart enough to get out of the way, stop insisting on regime change and let Russia and Syria sort in out

If only he'd extend that approach to every other aspect of his presidency.

Ahh the eternal question, I get to say it depends.

I see little correlation between more regulation and a better life

We can all say but whatabout "x, y & z" but too many deals are done for special interests and too much bracket creep by departments

Regulations over worker safety and environmental protection, to name two areas, have a direct correlation to a better quality of life.

The sort of regulations you are praising Trump for getting rid of.

I tend to agree, I am a big fan of governments doing less

I'm afraid that anyone who claims not to be a Trump supporter and then praises him for being "smart" instantly loses credibility.

RInkals do you reckon you could pass a Turing test?

You could have just said no.

Like most right wingers, what he actually means is less regulation for things he supports, and more for things he doesn’t

Are you following this exchange in a cognitive way, or are you just throwing out random messages which could probably fit reasonably well into virtually any conversation?

we have no government, armed with power, capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Jones is getting destroyed by a teenager.

He has been sued by the parents of Sandy Hook victims but was tossed out under free speech I believe. Nice dodge. I love that his account is frozen. Hogg is gonna be a future Senator. The kid told spring breakers to boycott Florida because of the gun lobby. Then he came back and said instead spend your spring break in PR, they could use the tourism. Stone Douglass may end up being this generations Kent State.

That's hilarious, cause while there's been many presidents with many deep deep flaws, no previous president has so perfectly encapsulated all four of those listed flaws so perfectly as Trump.

They will want Mueller to carry on for another three or four years, Mueller being too successful just brings in the Pence

so answer the question. What is the left suppose to do when the right control all levers of power?

just admit that was an empty remark to attempt to give him credit for something that for is the work of Mitch and Paulie.

"empty remark" ah bless , his appointees are doing plenty of quality regulation cutting, ISIS is near done, a Supreme Court Judge his base likes got put in, individual mandate gone and the American embassy is off the Jerusalem - all strong conservative stuff

What should the left do? Stop complaining about everything and start working out workable compromises, get DACA done, even if a wall gets built etc etc

Like winning special elections in red stats and districts? Done. Taking his attempt to end DACA to court? Done and winning based on SCOTUS ruling. You must not read much stuff that gives you proper updates because you would know more about the immigration bill but then again you are willfully ignorant, so whatever. There is more than just noise but it easier.

And all the achievements you gave could not be stopped by the left and are the result of micth and Paul but give him credit if you like that's fine.

This. Once the dust settles on Trump's reign of idiocy, the heinous shit behind the scenes being carried out will start impacting on people's lives ls, although the perpetrators will be a bit richer than before so they won't give a shit.

If a founding father have that opinion of their pet project, it spells doom for their Republic, what with people being people...

Maybe the USA needs a wholly new Constitution.

The religious people have more morals is a complete crock of shit frequently used by immoral arseholes to pretend to be morally superior as they are religious. Organised religion really has no claim to moral authority these days and should be treated like any other political organisation.
