Linda they aren't calling it a victory they are only hopping for victory they surely not suffering from over confidence

FDR's solutions were not nonsensical. The New Deal was the key to my ability to support a wife and two kids at a middle class standard of living on a single income in the 50's and 60's There was nothing nonsensical about that The result was Americas golden age

She didn't say victory, Nick. And she didn't say "hopping". You did.

Anyway, the Leftist/Liberals are going insane over Trump's deeds: they can't make head nor tails out of them, and just pick this-and-that to try to defame him. They have no idea what's going on. What do you think is going on?

Armagh

You're getting senile, Nick. You seem to be referring to slimy Johnson's Great Society; not the New Deal. Though mayhap you worked for the TVA?

My grandfather grew potatoes in Oklahoma; he was paid money by the government to plow them under. FDR thought that would raise the price of potatoes. My grandfather went broke anyway, had to sell his farm and move to California, around 1942. The great Okie migration.

[Podcast: Republicans are red-hot breeding machines]

If you're a liberal, here's what you can do to make Karl Rove a very happy man: Get yourself a labradoodle. Or any other kind of dog, for that matter. Even a cat will do. Just don't have children.
That way you'll maintain a fertility gap that already is invisibly working to guarantee the political right will outnumber the left by an ever-growing margin.
Over the past three decades, conservatives have been procreating more than liberals -- continuing to seed the future with their genes by filling bassinets coast to coast with tiny Future Republicans of America.

If only the Lefty/Libs just didn't want government to support their breeding practices. You're a sucker, Nick. Good night.

I think The rump didn't just become civic minded and try and save America. He does not do anything unless there is big money to be made that's why he refuses to make his tax returns available so the public can see where he has been making his money and refuses to divest he has a deal with Putin to remove the economic sanctions placed on Russia by Obama after Putin took Crimea and squashed the half a trillion deal ExxonMobill had with Putin to drill for oil in the Barents Sea. Why else did Rex Tillerson CEO of Exxon want to be Sec of State. He has recused himself for two years from and decisions on the sanctions but why not for the duration of his time in government. Now we see Exxon is pursuing a waiver from the Treasury Dept. sanctions to drill in the Black Sea in a venture with Rosneft the Russian state oil company. The waiver was requested under the Obama administration and was not granted. Exxon has billions at stake 68 % of their assets are in Russia a billion barrel pool of oil has been discovered in the Kara Sea since the sanctions were initiated removal or a waiver could mean a trillion dollars to Exxon and I Trump can get them what they want it will mean billions possibly to Trumps enterprise he doesn't give a shit about the American people that's all political posturing they knew if he was going to win he would have to turn the Rust belt red he said what they wanted to hear and it did. Tillerson has recused himself from this waiver request but that just means it will go through its all about the money bigly

Liberals require no assistance to look bad. All you need do is begin talking.

Loki Loc: Georgia

Absolutely. I supported Karen Handel back in the primary, when she ran against Johnny the RINO Isackson.

I will just say a couple of things. Well, three actually.

1. Oh, for God's sake!!

2. My VERY good friend, Vlad Putin, did not take Crimea, nor did he invade Georgia.

3. After I read your statement about the Crimea, I read no further. Someone who would first believe that, then try to foist it on the rest of the world enjoys telling lies. So I figure anything else you say about Russia's commercial interests are also lies. Hardly worth my time to respond.

4. Good night, Nick.

I first came to California in 1927 we lived in a labor camp my father picking peaches others in the camp picked cotton for seventeen cents per hundred pounds picked My grand father let two farms in Oklahoma go back to the county because he couldn't pay the taxes he was in the same camp we were in along with my uncle . John Steinbeck wrote the Grapes of Wrath that year travelling up and down the great San Joaquin Valley with the Okie immigrants The great Visalia flood in the last chapter I remember vividly water in all directions as far as the eye could see at the end of the season the State bought us train tickets back to Oklahoma because hordes of Okies who couldn't find work was scaring the hell out of the locals. They would come out to the Hoovervilles with ball bas and ax handles yelling for the Okies to get the hell out of here and don't come back till the cottons ready to pick. Here in Brentwood on the western edge of the Delta the cops round up the in employed vagrants and held them in a barbed wire pen by the train depot when a train came through they loaded them in box cars and dumped them off in the next county. When the Japs bombed Pearl my dad ran up to Oklahoma A&M college and took a six week course in welding jumped in a model A Ford and headed it to Oakland California and a job in a shipyard My mom sister and I followed a few weeks later. My parents had been tenant farmers for 10 years and went broke every year in 1935 the worst drought year the 80 acres they farmed only produced two bails of cotton at $25 dollars per bail and the land lord got half and the House burned to the ground with every thing we owned and two years later they made their way to California. by the mid 50's I had a wife and two girls and we were able to live a standard of living our parents could not have dreamed of just 20 years earlier . The two farms my Grandfather let go to the county for lack of money to pay taxes eventually sprouted oil wells on both farms

One more thing: Trump is draining the swamp; nationally and globally. Things are going on below the surface, that you can never understand.

Armagh

So it wasn't until after that, that you started to bust unions. Good night, Nick.

Crimea was formally absorbed into Russia on 18 March 2014, to international condemnation, after unidentified gunmen took over the peninsula.
Mr Putin said on TV he had ordered work on "returning Crimea" to begin at an all-night meeting on 22 February.
The meeting was called after Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted.
Speaking last year, Mr Putin had said only that he took his final decision about Crimea after secret, undated opinion polls showed 80% of Crimean's favored joining Russia.
The findings of these polls were borne out by the outcome of the referendum on 16 March, he told Russian state TV President Obama placed economic sanctions on Russia 10 days later

He has filled the swamp with billionaires and millionaires and doing stupid things like cutting funds to a UN program that fights female genital mutilation and all funds fighting global warming and climate change that threatens humanity and all living things on earth. Junking regulations that restrained coal companies from dumping waste in steams ect ect
