I guess it's time to congratulate you conservatives. You've accomplished some major wins. I may disagree with how you accomplished it, but you are winning. The country is definitely tilting to the right. The ship of state has taken a list to starboard, and I can't deny that.

You've won the battle.

There are a whole lot of new federal judges that will force conservative decisions for the next few decades.

You've destroyed the federal civil service requirements and allow cronyism to sneak back into the government workplace.

You've eliminated a raft of environmental regulations that mainly affect poor and minority communities.

The federal lands are now open to the 'thumper trucks' which search for oil.

The poultry and beef processing industry is having trouble finding enough people to work in the gruesome slaughterhouses that provide our steaks and rotisserie chicken.

Our water supplies are no longer being tested for harmful chemicals.

Employees of major corporations no longer have the ability to band together in class action lawsuits. Instead, they have to resort to private arbitration on a one-to-one basis which most cannot afford to do because of high legal fees.

Respect for the Department of Justice and the FBI has been eroded, which makes it more difficult for them to do their jobs and get cooperation from the population.

You've defanged the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was showing signs of actually holding companies accountable when they committed fraud against their customers.

China and Russia are doing major deals with the rest of the world that we've retreated from. China is estimated to be ahead of in Artificial Intelligence within a decade, and their companies are quietly acquiring American firms. And to do business in China, our companies have to partner with a Chinese firm, which mandates intellectual property t***sfers and eliminates our technological edge.

Yep, you're winning. You're accomplishing the decline of the United States as a world power. We've alienated our European allies and degraded the relations with our Asian partners.

You're achieving your goal of taking the country back to the late nineteenth century, which was isolationist, r****t, h********c, mysogenistic, religiously bigoted and the realm of the big industrialists (the Robber Barons.) A truly worthy goal, if you don't know what life back then was like.

I wish you well. I'm old enough that I probably won't see the end result of all this. I'm glad of that, but I fear for the younger generations and the quality of life that they will inherit.

Congratulations, you've won the present battle. But long term, you've lost the war, and our country is much the worse for that. If you prevail, that great experiment called democracy will fail.

Make America Great Again! NOT!

You cannot be serious. The Trump administration has done nothing except attempt to impose extremist ideology here and around the world. I know that those who agree with such ideology, cannot see that it is an extreme view, inconsistent with the US Constitution and it's precepts, and have incentive to reconsider those views.

Extremists reject any and all evidence that is inconsistent with their viewpoint, scientific findings included, wish to force their views onto everyone, at gun point if necessary. Extremists reject the notion that every human has equal value, will therefor support discrimination against those persons they deem "less than", and in many countries, will even assist in developing pogroms to eliminate those who are different, judging them a threat.

The danger to free speech are the attempts to stifle or eliminate the expression of viewpoints, beliefs, or religions that are inconsistent with the ruling Juntas/party's extremist views.

Stop waiting for the constitutional crisis that President Trump is sure to provoke. It’s here.

On Sunday, via Twitter, Trump demanded that the Justice Department concoct a t***sparently political investigation, with the aim of smearing veteran professionals at Justice and the FBI and also throwing mud at the previous administration. Trump’s only rational goal is casting doubt on the probe by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, which appears to be closing in.

Trump’s power play is a gross misuse of his p**********l authority and a dangerous departure from long-standing norms. Strongmen such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin use their justice systems to punish enemies and deflect attention from their own crimes. Presidents of the United States do not — or did not, until Sunday’s tweet.

"The U.S. president blames Tehran..."

To wit:
"It's the American Way: blame the other party, if you can't get yourself out of your evil actions any other way.
I said something to that effect to Ovomit a few years ago. I told him well, just try it. If it works, you can take the credit; if it doesn't, you can just blame other people.
And Trump, you know very well who is responsible for "wreaking havoc." in the Middle East. Who has a lock on your thoughts, Trump? The neo-cons, and the "vile entanglement of Leftism and Global Deep State"?
But then you still don't comprehend that world events are being set up by world leaders, to entrap you and by extension, America. Even Europe is leaving the American camp."

Then you might read this:

And my comment, to wit:
"Merkel knows very well it is not practical to hold the hand of the U.S. or its president. He just might get inclined to grab your you-know-what."


NOW do you understand how events are being manipulated by world leaders against Trump and the U.S.? (After all, Feith is going to be in the docket soon. The ICC docket.)

NOW are you proud?
