though i will say that, according to scott adams, trump created tons of jobs. that's definitely a positive if true so i'll give him credit for that, but i'd like to see this confirmed from a source that's not biased as fuck in favor of trump like adams.


As you can see from this graph:

http://ei.marketwatch.com//Multimedia/2017/04/07/Photos/MG/MW-FJ988_jobs_r_20170407085339_MG.jpg?uuid=38edd7bc-1b91-11e7-a8f4-001cc448aede

Jobs are growing, but they've been growing under Obama for years

All he's really done is kept things rolling without screwing it up.

Which is...commendable I suppose?

yeah, of course the age old question is "how much of it can be ascribed to the president?"

i do like how the trump drones crediting the growth of jobs to trump praised obama 0 times for jobs growing under his presidency.

i also like how these are the same people responding to the criticism of trump not doing enough by saying "WELL IT'S ONLY BEEN 100 DAYS WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FUCKING JESUS." so he simultaneously did nothing and created three billion jobs? can't have it both ways, guys.

clinton/pence/ryan, etc is lawful evil, trump is chaotic neutral

not saying clinton is worse than trump policy-wise. just saying that trump gives no fuck about policy, he only cares about trump seeming good and getting 'wins'.

by the alignment definitions we've been using in this topic, you'd have to make an awfully strong case to categorize someone as evil

it seems to be:
good: makes anonymous sacrifices to help others
neutral: does whatever it takes to help themselves (although IRL i'd consider this level of selfishness evil as well)
evil: goes out of their way to hurt people when it doesn't benefit anyone

I think neutral is more "helps themselves without considering how their actions may harm others" (trump) while evil is more "helps themselves knowing full well that their actions will harm others but does so anyway" (hillary)

I'm 100% sure that Trump did not even consider his randomly blurting out things to the Russian foreign minister would harm the CIA's relationship with Israel.

I'm also 100% sure that Hillary knew full well her private email server wasn't allowed, but did it anyway to protect herself and because she thought she could get away with it.

Which of these things is better or worse probably depends on how much you care about "criminal intent" or whatever.

So when Republicans vote for a healthcare bill they KNOW will cost millions their health insurance, because it'll lower their premiums, they're being evil right?

this would make neutrality just dumb evil, which i think is a bit of a cop-out

i also don't think trump is so dumb that he isn't able to distinguish right from wrong, doesn't realize that screwing over business partners is wrong and so on and so forth

and i know this has been done to death but it's fun to bounce around every once in a while

nah, because sometime's Trump's random actions done in pursuit of his own self-interest might help certain other people too, but he doesn't know or consider that side of it either

I mean he's on a reasonable pace such that his behavior might make Mike Pence President! But not because he's a super nice guy who cares about helping out his buddy Mike.

Actually I misread the itinerary

His first stop is actually Saudi Arabia, where he is set to give a "hopeful message to the Muslim world."

Then Israel, THEN the Pope

EDIT:
"The speech is intended to unite the broader Muslim world against common enemies of all civilization and to demonstrate America's commitment to our Muslim partners"

Trump is definitely the man for that job

"Trump is substantively unprepared for high-stakes, 9-day foreign trip, but isn't bringing ANY actual NSC experts (SDs or Ds) on AF1 to brief"

I don't know what SDs/Ds/AF1 are. Can anybody elaborate? It sounds bad.

Stocks down 250 points thanks to idiot liberals pushing an impeachment agenda with no evidence. At least when these people were buttmad over Nixon the man had actually done something wrong.

It's almost like liberals are the enemy of this country and would love to see it implode just to soothe their butthurt over losing an election fair and square. At least now they're open about it instead of pretending they want this country to succeed.

The best is that there is literally nothing impeachable, and if Comey were a conservative ex employee these nutjobs would claim there was an ax to grind. Liberals are as predictable as they are pathetic.

Congress is plenty safe for the Republicans. The telling poll is the Trump/Clinton rematch, which Trump still wins. It's one thing to express disapproval of Trump, quite another thing to vote for Democrats. Moreover, the scandals are coming so fast amd frequent now that by 2018 no one will care anymore.
