I agree with you here for the most part.
We've devolved into a partisan, team worshipping, bunch of assholes who are more worried about seeing the other guy fail than they are about seeing the country win.
We have some serious fucking challenges over the next 50 years. Out of control debt, lower birthrates, slowing economy, rising economies of china....we don't have anything close to the national political unity to confront any challenge, let alone the serious ones.
Worse yet, if we see a lunatic like Bernie get elected, our economy might never recover.
Weakest President? Are you high, or incredibly stupid? Are you actually one of those brainless zombies that watch CNN (and NYT) and believes it? You cannot be serious. You cannot be THAT dumb. Well, Mark Dice actually proved how dumb Californian actually are....
CNN is PURE FAKE NEWS. Compost News Network. Crap News Network.
Go watch Mark Dice on youtube.
You got some red pilling to do mate, it will be good for you, not just Morally, but in general.

Many like to Quote Keynesian Economics without understanding that, yes you can spend a lot, but it ALSO requires the gov't to pay down debt during times of boom.

Freedom of the press isn't limited by putting non objective news organizations in the back of the room.
I also find it funny when people like you deflect from the fact you're wrong, by attacking the source, and not the statement.
Perhaps http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/world/ja...rump-1.4152794 is more to your liking?
Mark Dice is an American video blogger, YouTube personality and author known for his conspiracy theories about secret societies such as The Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove events, Satanists and the Illuminati control of the world.
:
In June 2008, Dice launched a campaign urging people to send letters and DVDs to troops stationed in Iraq, which supported the theory that the September 11 attacks in 2001 were an "inside job".
Takes issue with the claim of Weakest President, and then spends a paragraph doing everything but refuting the claim.
How's the not-weakest President's agenda going? Oh right, defeated by his own party on Healthcare and ignored by his own party on spending. Look at all that strength; look at how much he's been able to not-accomplish.

My bolding, for emphasis. It is at the core incorrect. The core part of their story is false. You can't spin this any other way. It was a story based on false information. I don't see how you can justify it any other way. Much like the child porn ring story you reference. Both are fake."In the main, it was not true," Comey said.
Nice to see you haven't read a single thing I've said about tax policy, the role of government, federalism, drugs, trade or healthcare.
At the very core of my domestic political philosophy is a desire to move a lot of the responsibilities given to the federal government to the state level. That is pretty doctrinaire conservative. There would be large federal tax cuts, but fairly significant State tax increases to account for this new reality. People living in Kansas can decide what services they want, versus people living in Nevada versus people living in Massachusetts. And they can pay for them too.
Or how about the role of the family versus the individual, which is at the very heart of conservative philosophy.
No, I'm pretty fricken conservative. The difference is I'm more sophisticated than the pathologically paranoid gun-hugging knuckledraggers who call themselves "conservative" because they're too stupid to realize that being the opposite to the "liburlz" they despise doesn't necesarily make them conservative. Conservatives actually believe in things.
I'll just echo what George Will said: Conservatism has been soiled by scowling primitives.
The fact few people can appreciate what conservatism is because it's been distilled into a cartoon version of it by far right entertainers / shock jocks, and online Trumpkin losers and their motherfucking guns.
Everything you need to know about the intellectual decline of conservatism comes from this: people who (wrongly) describe themselves as "conservative" are often Second Amendment worshipers, but they don't give two shits about Trump's ongoing emoluments clause violation, which isn't actually in an "Amendment" but Article I of the Constitution itself. You know what that makes them? Really piss poor conservatives.
Uhuh. Wait 'til Trump's gone, and you'll see me go 14 rounds with the liberals I make common cause with right now when it goes to taking this axe:
To Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
How's that for liberal? lmao.
This is what coalitions look like. I play nice with my liberal friends because at this time and place, getting rid of Trump is more important than anything else. My American beliefs supercede my conservative ones. And I'll repeat what I said pre-election: Trump is un-American.
