The Politics Thread

@Cirrus Light  
If Obama is tying to destroy the country  
He is failing badly

@Commune  
He left us ill-equipped to stop Donald Fucking Trump. That’s gotta count for something.

@Background Human  
To be fair the ball is in Trump’s Court.

@hillbe  
Even if Obama is a muslim, who the fuck cares?  
He didn’t try to impose sharia law on the US. And he even continued drone attacks on majority-muslim countries such as Pakistan. Yes, he showed sympathy towards the US’s muslim population, but that is just a common occurence in the left.  
Frankfully, all this “Obummer’s a muslim who also isn’t american” thing is nothing but Limbaugh-level paranoid nonsense.

@Commune  
He’s not, he’s become Shrek. He’s making his own swamp with all the corrupt donors

@neutralgrey  
Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

@neutralgrey  
“Donkey! Get out of my swamp!”

If trump is trying to show the people who didn’t support him that he can be a good president, he has a lot of work to do before they can actually trust him. Heck, even George W. Bush didn’t start his first term with approval numbers this low.

@Commune  
He is building his own swamp.

@09MurphyM  
The same pollsters who said Hillary would be president?  
The Same Media that claims Russian Hacker caused Trumps win?  
The same folks that down played Hillarys criminal past?  
More disinformation.

@BadgingBadger  
incorrect, His policies disrupted Americas economic, political, race relations and law enforcement.  
His ‘hope and change’ agenda failed, Using foreign policies in all areas of government.  
His comments and illegal executive orders show a contempt for American laws.  
The Supreme Court overruled and overturned multiple over reaching orders issued by Obama, Most dealing with his wanting to change laws and levee out monies, The jobs Congress is paid for.  
Obama funded Syrian rebels at the tune of 250 million dollars, Those rebels became ISIS, drone strikes are like pin pricks the fighting enemy continues with the refugees northward into Europe.  
Obama and Hillarys Aram Spring murdered leaders in north Africa ISIS loved the lack of opposition.  
Obamas weak or nonexistent foreign policies wrecked US standing in the world, Putin took land laughing all the way.  
ACA fees and regulation attached a burden on businesses affecting workers - lay offs and firings at an all time high, part time work/hours to avoid the ACA fees, employment suffers.  
At the G-20 Obama is made to come out of the ass of Air Force One, an international joke.  
Obama was Anti America from before day one, An empty suit with a chip on his shoulder-  
Just bounce through you tube at his little rants, “You didn’t build that” “Cling to their guns and bibles” “This is the first time I’m proud to be an American” “If you like your Doctor” “My father in Kenya”  
and a host of eight years of berating America and his attempt at election fraud “If your not a citizen you can’t vote, But if you do who’s going to find out?”  
the only legacy Obama has is being the worst president in history.

@hillbe  
Can you name one good thing Obama did in office?

@HJSDGCE
 
@BadgingBadger
 
@igotnopicks  
Trump: “There’s just me and my swamp, and the first thing I’m gonna do is build a ten foot wall around my land.”

@igotnopicks  
He took nice photographs? Obama loved to hear himself speak? Leave? He did help gun sales.

@hillbe  

 
That’s a whole lot of bias. You haven’t cited a single good thing Obama has done.  
I’ll preemptively say that for you.

@BadgingBadger  

 
Donkey what did you do to the dragon!

@BadgingBadger  
You list them then. give it a shot. US credit rating was down graded the first time in history causing a higher lending rate on US loans.
 
eight years and what good has he done? So few items in his history of leadership…refresh my memory.

@neutralgrey  
Canada walks into land. “No says a thing.”  
Mexico walks into land. “Everyone builds the wall bigger.”

@igotnopicks  
We don’t get much trouble from Canada. In contrast, drug cartel members and “refugees” constantly attempt illegal (key word) entry from the other end.

@Background Pony #3B44  
I have no problem with tourists or even immigrants who bother enough to go through the entire process to enter the U.S., those are the ones I like having here, but the ones that have no respect for our law and our land, treating it with disrespect, are generally not welcome.

@Background Pony #3B44  
You can’t grow many drugs in Canada’s frozen tundra, but you can in Mexico. Drugs that americans really want to buy and can’t buy legally because :reasons: _{^{(except the sort your health insurance, doctor, and pharma company exploit you for, totes legal, of course)}}

@Background Pony #3B44  
The problem with illegal immigration from Mexico is, mostly, the cost of living legally as a foreign with a work visa within the US. The US has a lot of problems with giving work visas to foreigners, hence taxation and cost of living, despite subsidies. Most mexicans who come illegally into the US are going there to try and make some quick fortune and return to their families – something they couldn’t do in the corrupt and malfunctioning northern portions of Mexico.  
Problem is, if we block these people from entering, the problems they would bring will only be diverted to Mexico itself and make the situation in the country worse. I’d be okay with Trump’s anti-immigration plans if he still promised to keep NAFTA in place and help the mexican economy in order to curb reasons for illegal immigration, but no, he wants to abolish it.

@The Smiling Pony  
So? The facts still stand.  
For the record, you can buy many kinds of drugs in Mexico for faaaar cheaper than in the U.S. medical attention is also way cheaper. Like waaaayy cheaper.  
That was me by the way
