Bravo, sir! You're a gentleman and a scholar...

@Countrycuz666 Nope, that one escapes me...how this relate to 'schwinnrider's' comment??

obama tops the list for me in his disgrace as potus

I find it extremely amusing that the people defending Trump think that attacking Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton is relevant to the discussion. Here is a hint - if you can't point to Trump's actual words and actions to defend him, you aren't making a case. If you have to attack other commenters, you only look weak.

@blueskies What do you base your opinion on?

@moNOtheist read facts much?

Agree and much more. The exaggerated version of what they called the ugly American.

@blueskies not give me a few of the facts that support your comment?

@Countrycuz666 OMG....well that explains a lot! Ayn Rand was one very disturbed, psychopathic, narcissistic personality if there ever was one... but it does explain well the 'disconnect' you exude in your comments

so in your bigoted response, the minority here need to go away. it's bad enough that ppl who don't believe in religion are the minority to begin with, but then you would wish to make it even smaller. okay then.

@Countrycuz666 I doubt it. She was an intellectual he wouldn't be able to understand her books and essays

@Countrycuz666 any rand lived on social security and was pen pals with a serial killer. She also gave a speech to west point cadets, in which she said that Indians had no concept of rights, so it was ok for white men to civilize the savages n stuff. She was a real monster.

@Countrycuz666

That's so generous! Having spent 15 years as a travel agent, I'll rebook it to London, Paris, and Berlin, places where women have a voice instead of genital mutilation.

It’s obvious that there’s a bunch of idiots on this website. In my home town people were so disgusted with the democrats Trump carried 87% of the vote. If the democrats and Obama were so good how come they lost over 1,000 seats at the state and national level during the 8 years Obama was in office. @SpikeTalon, @Gater, @Captain_Feelgood

@AndyMoreau So let me get this straight, you believe a poll on a site that is for mostly one group of people (atheists) out of conceivably many different walks of life in this country, somehow states the absolute truth? How a majority truly feel on the topic? I'm from Pennsylvania, and I could tell you firsthand that many of my fellow Pennsylvanians absolutely disdained Hillary Clinton, and that is the reason why my state turned red even though historically speaking has been a blue state. That is the truth, but something you will not hear from the liberal medias. For freethinkers, there are truly alot of brainwashed folks on this site. @Trajan61

@AndyMoreau Trump didn't steal from me, but Obama sure did with all of his socialist policies, and he blatantly lied about The Affordable Care Act.

@SpikeTalon well said Spike!

@Countrycuz666 You sir are one of the wise ones! Good to have a fellow conservative here as there don’t seem to be very many of us in this particular website.

@Countrycuz666 I take it that your grandfather was uneducated?

@Trajan61 like with Hitler, trump supporters won't realize theyve been conned by that crew until stuff like Crab Season is wrecked

@rafferty You sound just like a brainwashed liberal. Trump has done more good for the country in 1 1/2 years than that idiot Obama did in 8.

@Trajan61 idk, brainwashed by who? Its weird. Trumpies seem brainwashed into mentioning this "brainwashing". A lot, lol! Like from Jade Helm operatives? That sort of thing?

Since the rule of Bush II, the lesson is question every move of the Commander in Chief!

You know, that's exactly what the soldiers of the Wehrmacht said. Unquestioned loyalty is surely not a virtue.

@moNOtheist Yea and Atilla the Hun sailed his unstoppable army into seeming clear seas intending to attacking Japan. The Hun never made it because of a wicked storm crippled his fleet. If not for that we would all be the clan of Hun. Point being one has nothing to do with the other. If your logic would apply it should be illegal for the democratic party to exist because of President Harry S. Truman nuclear attack cause one of the worst aftermaths in all of recorded history. I defiantly do not agree with any political party. We should be way past the point of one person controlling the fate of a free world in this point in our history.

@azzow2 I don't see how those examples either prove your point (unless it was written as irony) or dispute mine. What have Little Boy and Fat Man, much less the divine winds, to do with unquestioned loyalty? Getting behind the president, no matter who he (or she) might be, just because they are the president is like "my country right or wrong" or "follow the flag", and blindly leads down some very dark pathways, as US veterans were to see in the liberation of Europe.

@moNOtheist We have a lot of military taking transports through out town. I being a veteran when I see them in passing we exchange solutions. Just about everyone comments about the leaders. What they say and not verbatim is that they feel more confident that the leadership is tougher and that we all agree that maturity is lacking with unquestionable considerations.

@azzow2 Not sure that a tough leader is what's required, or that he is one.

Trump, having depleted the State Dept. to the point of ineffectiveness, sees the use of military force as the only solution, perhaps because he's oblivious to the subtleties of diplomacy. And I have real problems with someone who evaded service in Vietnam because of supposed bone spurs (not to mention openly insulting John McCain, who suffered months of pain and misery as a prisoner-of-war) ordering young men and women to war, and into physical situations beyond his understanding or apparent concern.

@moNOtheist The disrespect of Mister McCain was very distasteful this point I agree with with you 100%. Loved when McCain and Palin were running together He knew he would not win got an awesome spot in the history books and he had a lot of fun doing it.

@azzow2 I think that he thought he had a good chance at winning, but that he now looks back at his choice for the VP slot as having been something of a misstep.

@azzow2 Japanese people took the Island of Japan from another people called the Ainu, and then started doing brush paintings about not being invaded by Huns. They did it by invading, while the Kamikaze wind was off i guess. it wasnt working for the Ainu.

@Countrycuz666 This fall on Fox... Cocksuckers and Pussygrabbers, hosted by Mel Gibson and Paula Deen

He's a habitual liar. Wake up!

@AndyMoreau If you could look up the definition of "sophistry"...that'd be great!

@hemingwaykitten I teach it. Is it that you need a fuller definition?

@Gripster31 That's kind of you, but no, I understand it. I addressed my comment to @AndyMoreau because he obviously needs a dictionary, as well as to stop yelling at you in his ignorance. Polite of you to ask though. ?

@hemingwaykitten oh, sorry, I meant the post sincerely

@Countrycuz666 yes, a sincere thinker
I am sure you are too...

@Countrycuz666 im so psyched this site is working out for you guys! What America needs now, is love!

Man ,have you lived under a rock all your life and a bigot too.

@AndyMoreau: Your the one who’s been living under a rock. Hell people in my hometown were so disgusted with the Democrats after 8 years of Obama Trump carried 87% of the vote and he lost all 77 counties in my home state. @Lancer, @Gator

@Trajan61 @AndyMoreau
I'll say this. Trump MAY not have been the best candidate (I would say he was but I can't predict a future that never happened).

BUT he was leagues better than Hillary, I would never vote for a person who left their fellow countrymen and women to die, someone who abandoned them out of fear for their own life is no patriot and is not fit to lead.

I think we should let Trump's term finish before we jump to any rash conclusions. I think he's doing a good job putting America first, I wish my own prime minister or premiers or councilors would put my country and our people first. But alas, the liberal agenda and political correctness have produced sub-standard politicians.

@Trajan61
Umm, you live in OKLAHOMA. Nuff said. I'd expat to Canada before I ever set foot there.

@hemingwaykitten There were some counties in Texas that were even stronger for Trump! You might as well get over it as Trump’s going to be here for 8 years. Hell Obama hurt the democrats bad as that lost over 1,000 seats at the state and national level!

@Lancer Facts are your friends and I suggest you review the public records on Benghazi. Hillary, in no way, left her fellow countrymen and women to die; that, if anything, is some BS diatribe from conservative media. Both the military and Congressional panel found HRC NOT guilty of neglect in any way. Why don't you ask the repub leadership why they wouldn't increase funds requested by that embassy when it was needed. Sorry, but your statement is completely idiotic and ignorant of the facts.

If you look honestly at Trump's list of actions taken during his first 1.5 years of office, you should be tired of his failure to live up to campaign promises. Really, how is he "doing a good job putting America first"??? Repealing EPA regs that protected riverways and lakes?? You want more pollution? Breaking down Dept of Education with an ignorant dufus, DeVos, who has no educational experience?? The constant parade of buffoons who've passed through the WH, making this admin the worst on record for outright corruption...look at what's happening with Pruitt. Stupid is as stupid does. Trumps failure to make good on his campaign promises is embarrassing, but for those who support him because he's leaving them at the wrong end of the stick. Pulling us out of the Paris Accord has been very damaging and there's so much more...let's not forget the tax cuts that primarily go to the 1%, Check out the CBO findings...not good. We'll have an extra $1T in debt. This is a disaster and nothing close to "jump(ing) to any rash conclusions". Liberal agenda, my ass. PC, are you kidding me?? The whole Republican leadership has praying at the altar of the 'swamp' with the likes of the Koch bros, Adelson and many more. Stop relying on just conservative media for your info

@peaceman1948
I don't trust the court rulings over Hillary's actions in Benghazi. I trust the people who worked and lived there. I know these people and they are much more trustworthy than an obviously corrupt presidential candidate. A fact is a fact and the truth is the truth, but sometimes the facts aren't the truth.

Also if we apply the idea that we need an educator to be in charge of the department of education (Which in principle I agree with). There may be a reason behind it which you just can't see at the moment. Because theory and practice can produce different results than those which are expected.

Also going through staff doesn't equate to corruption all the time. Sometimes it shows that those people were not suitable for the role they were in. Maybe the idea behind this was to remove the people who were not doing their jobs right. Because in the business world you either perform or you get laid off.

The Paris accords won't have a significant effect because people don't understand the real cause of human influenced climate change. If we had a logically planned civilized society we could decrease our environmental impacts by making small changes. Unfortunately we are human, thus we are inefficient by nature.

I'm not saying the American Republicans are right or wrong. Both parties have to accept their role in the degradation of the USA.

@Countrycuz666 That was a farce when they did that. I doubt the movie director is in prison as Trump would have turned him loose before now.

@Countrycuz666 am aware of the video but not sure how much impact it had. If it did, not as much as the overall situation dictated

@Lancer
HRC was cleared by a panel of military experts and other congressman. The facts simply didn't support the intense allegations. It was sad to lose 4 people in that tragedy, but during the Bush years, we lost about 65 people and no one fussed over it. The issue with the emails is similar in that Bush dumped about 22 million, far surpassing Clinton, yet nothing. And the issue of security is the same re high-level clearances; throughout Washington, how Clinton handled her emails is literally identical to what others (congressman/senators) have done and are doing now. A nothing-burger.

Clinton is corrupt but nothing showed. You say you trust "the people who worked and lived there" so what does that mean?? How did 'they' possibly know what Clinton did or didn't do?

DeVos has a 'severe' agenda with regard to pushing 'charter schools' as becoming, perhaps the primary educational source. The problems created this direction are legion and the disproportionate share of resources is highly problematic. Leaders in education have been incensed with her perverse lack of knowledge and arrogance. So, no, I do know what the reason is behind appointing her to this position; it fulfills an agenda that doesn't consider the greater good, and has little to do with "theory and practice." They KNOW the direction they wish to pursue.

In this case, regarding the WH's revolving door of cabinet members et al, it is exactly the case in being an issue of corruption. And it reflects the severe instability of Trump as his behavior is erratic and all over the map. You're commenting as if this is just another average, normal presidency and it just isn't. First off, the initial people hired, like those who followed in their footsteps, were not qualified for their positions. They've hired people who've never been in government and/or the extent of their experience was quite limited, with one person having only driven a truck. What Trump demanded was fealty, absolute loyalty no matter what, meaning "yes-men/women", such that his ego had to be assuaged on a daily basis to curry his favor. You're describing a conceptual view of how things would normally work in the business world when people don't perform to a level of competence, but that was not a requirement with Trump's cabinet; their job was to cannibalize their agencies with the intention of literally erasing Obama's impact and serve their mega-corp supporters. Money talks.

RE the Paris Accords you could not be more incorrect. Scientists have actually nailed down, extremely well, how humans have influenced climate change. The science is clear, solid and expanding on this topic continuously. It's not a question of whether or not it's real (that's a political BS meme, irresponsibly played with) but rather to the timing of certain changes that will affect us all. Regardless of how we're all human and subject to error, does not preclude the idea that there are many among us who are considerably smarter than most and have developed cognitively to such an extent as to be able to counter the challenges as they arise. And civilization is not 'logically planned' but is rather in a continuous process of evolving, dependent heavily upon the hope that enough people will wake up to push their leaders into making positive, proactive choices...Both parties are to blame for the mess we're in and the citizenry needs to wake up and learn about their country and democracy to a level that will promote the healing we need to thrive as a country.

@peaceman1948, @Countrycuz666 this video about Bill Clinton having a black son is probably the funniest Birther type crackpot Alex jones thing ive seen in a while, and i still can't see the Stormy Daniels Relevancy to what inthe Hope Hicks is going on with this and why the Don Jr. that this matters that Ivanka and Jared made 82 million dollars off of.. uh.. doing uh?.. but sure, im sure this Paula Alex jones stuff from WND is true

2013 Moscow Trump pee pee hooker tape.

@Countrycuz666 He's exactly right about Trump as he has zero redeeming qualities, so, whatever you're smoking, put it down for awhile

@Countrycuz666
I am for truth, justice and the American way!
And I DEMAND decorum and CLASS in my elected leaders, clean environment and a scandal free administration.
I demand freedom of speech and of the press.
I expect to wake up not dreading nuclear war because two madmen control buttons.
And I stand for an America that welcomes all able bodied contributors from other less fortunate countries.
And finally, I DEMAND justice for traitors, which in my day was a FIRING SQUAD.

@Countrycuz666
Nah, let's just sell out to RUSSIA. Even many Republicans are calling Trump a traitor.
My dad is twirling in his grave!
He was a staunch Republican, and Trump would make him sick to his stomach.
All traitors should be shot.
Impeach Trump now! You know he's in bed with Putin!

@Countrycuz666 youd figure hed look like bill clinton a little, lol. He looks like Ronan Farrow looks like Woody Allen, lol

@Cuntrycuz666
Trump separates kids from their parents. Our president is now famous for making children cry, among other atrocities.
He is a black eye to democracy and a blot on the highest office in the land. He and his ilk have thoroughly bastardized the Presidency and endangered the entire world.
November's coming, and so is 2020.
Trump and scumbags like you will be put back in your place where you BELONG!
Have a nice life, dirtbag!!

I disagree regarding Hillary. I am tired of the Status Quo and both her and Trump are just that. No more silver spoon fed fascists in the Oval Office. I want younger, and someone who had to struggle to get there so that they may serve The People, and not serve the elite or corporations. It's past due time for a real Revolution in America. I say we start with the current Thief in Chief.

@LilithGone I revolution should be started by a protest by our belief group. I would love 2 be part of it.

@Countrycuz666 Your efforts to maintain a presence of stupidity is quite impressive. You know DT cares only about how he can "get off" and get away with it as often as he can. Maples and Melania were his mistresses first before marrying them; and the list of other affairs during and between marriages is long. And, race is not an antiquated term as you suggest as it implies a very obvious type of behavior. DT has been found guilty of "racism" when renting properties. You're attempting to obfuscate the issues. What's antiquated is your own prejudice that you attempt to veil

@Countrycuz666 While you're going sidewise on yourself, yeah, the 'Donald' was out with another woman (Celina) and cornered Melania. Point being he still cheats and could care less how it affects his family. Yay, Stormy!! He can't just get enough...

I have had few relationships outside my own race; one black, 3 asian (one for 3 years) and what does it matter??? The point was that Trump is a racist and has demonstrated that through his refusals to rent to people of color. So WTH point do you want to make here??

@Countrycuz666 omc. I lived in nyc for near 20 years. Donny tic tacs has stood in arms reach more than once in the past. I saw that whole central park five thing, and his cartoon divorce. He is a barking nitwit, and id say probably like you, or your racist uncle Larry that can't stfu about how 17% of the country is in one giant, connected (like on the phone) club are out to git im, lol.

@Countrycuz666
He may have been nice to the 'homeless woman' you're referring to but records were revealed where it was encoded that literally all of his properties were not to rent to people of color. He was fined a few million...

@Countrycuz666 extremism showing, lol. See comment aboe! Lol! Who called it? Hahaha!

LOL

@Countrycuz666 You wouldn't know a "commie" if he/she gave you a BJ

@Countrycuz666 what a nutty comment! Lol!

A narcissist . No empathy . Lacks a conscious. The earth revolves around him
