he'll be tied up in so much tape from both the demo and reps so he won't even be able to sneeze without both sides calling him a devil.

It would be one of the darkest times in American history. But Trump isn't getting elected.

I wish Congress would pull it's head out and do something - so much needs fixing. Obama did his best to move what pieces he could around to help but there is only so much the Executive Branch can do.
Honestly Trump will probably win. Hillary has pissed off a good amount of liberals/progressive and I don't think they will vote for her.
Time...line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round. ~ Caboose
Here's what happens, every time a new president gets elected. They are led to a big secure room filled with all of the top brass and other people of importance, and the freshly elected president is shown what's REALLY going on in the world, and why all of the promises he made while campaigning aren't gonna happen. One agenda is followed, and an office held for 8 years max is nothing more than a showpiece for the public's distraction. Want real, meaningful change? enact term limits on EVERY elected position in washington. and get rid of the open ballot. bring back the secret ballot to avoid being manipulated by lobbyists. bring it back so people can vote their conscience without fear of repercussion. and get some ring girls to walk around every now and then, that would be excellent.
Every progressive liberal's head on these forums is going to explode like gallagher took a fucking hammer to it. I guarantee it

You're not to think you are anything special. You're not to think you are as good as we are. You're not to think you are smarter than we are. You're not to convince yourself that you are better than we are. You're not to think you know more than we do. You're not to think you are more important than we are. You're not to think you are good at anything. You're not to laugh at us. You're not to think anyone cares about you. You're not to think you can teach us anything.
Well my employer is global, perhaps I should put in an international transfer lol As much as I dislike any idea of Trump being President, most of his outrageous "plans" will never happen, so I will probably just stay in NYC.
Get used to this then.
I don't think it is inconsistent to claim that Russia is a superpower, regardless of the word you use to describe- they have enough nukes to blow up the whole world and advanced military weapons systems (such as current tech level fighter jets) that match our own. They have missle tech to deliver their nukes throughout the world and they still hold a lot of influence. Just look at NATO (a collection of countries) scrambles to deter Russia.
I wasn't arguing whether what Obama said is true or not, I said he was trying to meddle- and he was. Although the link to the article is misnamed, when I posted it- it linked to a story about how Obama sent his team of personal campaign advisors to help the anti Netanyahu party and may have even sent money (the money is what is currently under investigation.) Which is, again, meddling. You claimed he wasn't "meddling."
As for Putin affecting us or not. It was referring to two different things, you pulled a few words out of the context. I am not worried about Putin affecting our economy through real estate and business deals. Our economy is too large and diverse for him to really affect us like that. He can affect us militarily in many different ways. That is how he can affect and can not be able to affect us at the same time.
As for the Mexican President, he was a pawn just for standing there next to Obama, it does not matter what he says. He has vocally come out very harsh against Trump in the past and it was highly publicized. The reason he is more restrained now is because his close advisers told him Trump might actually win.
Damn do you even know what we have been talking about? Your consistency I was speaking to was regarding whether or not Obama emboldened Putin. You are all over the place from post to post. I have given up expecting consistency in your arguments though. You clearly are just spewing at this point.
Now to the Superpower part. They quite simply aren't. They are a former superpower that is now a regional power only. While they still have a nuclear arsenal so do other regional powers. Their military still is made up of military equipment from the Soviet Union days and is hardly superior to anything the West has. Their economy is a basket case with the fall of oil and their investment in their military has suffered as such. Their bombing in Syria stopped for a period of time because they ran out of ordinance. That's not a superpower.
I stated quite clearly what I was talking about with meddling. Russia's government actively attempting to influence the election with their hacking. And I am still waiting for proof of what you claim Obama did. Your piss poor excuse that the link somehow changed to a story that had nothing to do with Obama and your claims is amusing. You don't think I will take your word for it given the nonsense you have claimed in this very thread Mr. "Student of History"?
Lol no you weren't. In both cases we were speaking of Russia's actions against the US. We weren't discussing "real estate and business deals" when you made those statements.
IN response to:
"Now go ahead and explain how Obama supported the "anti-Netanyaho" campaign or how he meddled in the Brexit vote. Because meddling to me is not commenting on the election and suggesting who you would like to win. Meddling is what Putin's folks did with the hacking. Engaging in activities to sway the election through nefarious means.
Putin indeed can affect us through his actions. It's not alarmist to say this, show this and end it."
You said: "I know Putin can affect us through his actions".
In response to:
"Putin can sure attempt to and is doing so. And if you think being concerned with Putin's interference in our election and his other action is alarmist that's fine. I would rather be an alarmist than someone like you who would allow him to get away with it."
You responded with:
"Putin can not affect us, it is alarmist to even believe he can."
You are quite simply now lying about the context. I understand why you are given it demonstrates yet again your inconsistency.[/QUOTE]
He was a pawn by his simple presence in a meeting now and it matters not what he says? Let's go back and see what you claimed actually happened in the meeting.
"What do you think Obama's little show with the Mexican President was all about the day after Trump's speech? It would seem that Obama is openly supporting and promoting a foreign ruler having a say in our election."
And as I demonstrated the Mexican president said nothing even close to what you claimed. Now it doesn't even matter what he says cuz... There's that consistency issue you have again.
Oh and do tell us how you know what his close advisers told him. Hmmmm. You wouldn't be making up shit yet again would ya?
What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers
Who say's i disagree with him? I was born in 1986 and have watched him make a fool of himself for 30 years now (give or take the boob sucking years) so i disliked his idiotic nature before it was cool to do so...
By the way im from UK so don't spout none of that republican democrat far left far right shit at me.
I'm going to have a good laugh for four years. And I'll keep telling everyone "I can't believe they've actually managed to find a clown worse than Bush Jr. to do the job..."
