Making a claim 638 times that turned out to be WRONG EACH AND EVERY TIME is worse.. :D

I mean how many times do you have to be wrong???

I would have thought, after the first 500 times of being WRONG, ya'all would kind of mellow yer hysterical predictions... :D

Now gloating about it 638 times and still having a thin skin over a joke tweet makes you just like your idol.

So, we agree.. Nick Spencer is a joke...

Actually, I "guessed" right approx 638 times.. That's all the times ya'all came up with the "TRUMP IS TOAST" prediction.. :D

don't get overwhelmed by your omnipotence.

Too late... :D That ship has sailed, my friend.. :D

277

I don't HAVE to convince myself of anything..

Would a "buffoon" been able to dispatch more than a dozen fine upstanding Republicans?? No...

Would a "buffoon" been able to defeat the BIGGEST and MEANEST political juggernaut in the history of the world?? No...

I mean, look at the FACTS...

If Trump is a "buffoon" what does that say about the Party that LOST to that "buffoon" so completely and utterly???

What does that say about the PEOPLE who supported that Party that lost to that "buffoon" so completely and utterly???

Doesn't say anything good....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Prophecy_Fails

And yet, whose "prophecy" was it that failed so completely, so utterly, so... EPIC-LY???

I'll give you a hint.. It wasn't my prophecy.... My prophecy was dead on ballz accurate up to AND including the EXACT Electoral College score. :D

Man, Nick Spencer's joke really got under your skin. Subconsciously you are starting to realize what a mistake Trump is.

Whatever you have to believe to make it thru your day...

NickSpencer is obviously a douche who doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground... :D As evidenced by the fact that he supported a total and complete LUSER... :D

Reminds me of a very interesting psychology experiment from the 1950's

You kind of moron, Michale.

Did anyone die??? No..

Was it a tweet?? No..

Other than these facts, yer spot on. :D

But ya know what. I agree with you. Twitter is the cause of too much violence and death.

We should ban Twitter.. Or at least require registration and insurance.. :D

Only in your bubble World where you interpret everything through your extreme right wing lenses.

Yea, that's what you keep saying.. Of course, not offering up ANY facts to support it..

Like the FACT that I voted for Obama in 2008...

As has been aptly proven beyond ANY doubt, in 2016.... It was ya'all and the entirety of the Left Wingery who were in a bubble.. The bubble where Hillary actually had a chance to become President....

You kind of moron, Michale.

And yet, you accused Trump of being in bed with Putin just because they think about C the same way..

You see your problem??

You want to apply my logic when it can slam the Right, but you want to deny that exact same logic when it goes against the Left..

You can deny the FACTs all you want.

But the FACT is that Democrats and Al Qaeda were on the same page when it came to Bush's domestic surveillance programs.. This is fact...

And Democrats did it *SOLELY* and COMPLETELY for partisan gains...

This is fact..

@Nick..

Yeah man, international diplomacy is weird. You should read up on it before you get us all killed with your fucking twitter account.

What kind of fucking moron believes that a twitter account can get people killed?? :D

I mean, honestly. This nick guy must be a total douche to believe that any world leader could be provoked to war by a tweet... :D

Trump is going to produce the Celebrity Apprentice and be President on the side.

@realDonaldTrump

Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

@nickspencer

Intersting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

@nickspencer

Yeah man, international diplomacy is weisd. You shoule read up on it before you get us all killed with your fucking twitter account.

China have a lot of dodgy investments, particularly in commercial property (e.g. the empty cities) and propping up the SOEs. They also have a bubble in their residential property market, and their people treat the stock market like a casino.

Their problem is that there is an unstated deal between the people and the party - the people will get richer every year and the party keep hold of power.

The speculation is that Xi will use Trump to create a financial crisis that the whole world blames on Trump, allowing deflation of the Chinese economy without Beijing being seen as responsible.

My buddy thinks this is unlikely, Beijing is really scared of a downturn and the public reaction, but says to watch for any attempt by Beijing to prod Trump into more 'unfortunate' tweets and actions.

Thanks again, Chris!

Thanks so much for the heads-up on Biden's visit to Ottawa. I wish I was free to travel during that time but I'm afraid it won't be in the cards.

Aw shit, I'm gonna have to explain it..

Explain as you would (to) a child.
- Sarris, Galaxy Quest

Okay - just because A and B agree on C, doesn't mean that A and B are thinking about C in the same way. Therefore, the fact that A and B happen to agree is a coincidence, but is not logical evidence that the two share a common point of view.

For instance: Trump has said that he wants to rebuild the infrastructure that's crumbling around us. Eight years ago, Obama presented a bill that would have started that effort. Does that mean that Trump supports Obama? No. They just happen to have reached the same conclusion about infrastructure development for very different reasons.

Okay, I admit that I lost my ability to explain things to children years ago.

By all means... Explain the error..

Democrats were HYSTERICAL about Bush's domestic surveillance programs. They screamed POLICE STATE to the high heavens..

When Obama continued and INCREASED those programs, the SAME Democrats were, "kewl"....

So, tell me the fault in my logic...

Indeed, very sad news....

A real American hero.....

C'mon, you could do better than to make the most basic error in logical thinking. False equivalency is the road to Wonderland, dude.

After all, here's a man who promises jobs, then picks a Burger CEO as labor secretary. A man who promises justice, then picks a racist as Attorney General (at this rate, I expect his pick for Surgeon General to be Michele Bachmann).

In sum, looking at Trump's picks so far (and he's just getting started), I think I can confidently dub the next administration The "Deconstruction Presidency". We'll see how that plays out in the whiny hinterland.

Wow, that's a Whopper of a stinkin' lie. Where'd you get that from, Alex Jones?

No.. From the facts of the era...

Democrats opposed Bush's domestic surveillance programs. Al Qaeda opposed Bush's domestic surveillance programs..

When Obama came into power, continued AND increased those exact domestic surveillance programs, Democrats supported Obama to the hilt...

Ergo, the ONLY reason Democrats opposed the programs under Bush was for political gain...

Nuttin but facts as far as the eye can see...

Such as siding with Al Qaeda against Bush for political gain...

Let me help you..

"Well, that's different"

It always is.. :^/

Not a good idea. We are currently going thru a post-factual, child-like behavior political era. We can afford to because we haven't faced any real threats for over 15 years so we can tolerate un-American activities, such as refusing to do anything to help the current president for political gain (e.g. ignoring the Supreme Court nominee, announcing on day one to make him a one term president, etc.).

But the world is an unpredictable place, and we might find that we need to have qualified people with adult capabilities and realize how short Trump and his feel good cronies are.

At that point, when the populace is looking for adults, they will remember Obama and Kerry, Hillary and Biden, and the power will swing back.

To try to out-childish the Republicans may feel good in the short term, but is counter productive in the long term. And beneath us.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't point out the childishness of tweeting about SNL, the venality and hypocrisy concerning infrastructure spending, the fiscal irresponsibility of more tax cuts for the wealthy, the 0.1% pandering of repealing inheritance taxes, etc. - it may seem that pointing out the pathetic carries no weight at the moment with Trump supporters, but the chance of over reach is very high (e.g. Ohio's latest foray into restricting women's rights, the odious voter suppression laws, etc.) and the potential for incompetence (Trump, Carson, Flynn, Priebus) would be funny if it weren't so serious (at least to the people who take America seriously).

I just wasn't sure what you meant by bringing up Taiwan. I doubt Obama and Trump had a chance to discuss Taiwan ...

Am I being obtuse and missing your sarcasm? If so, sorry.

That's a page out of the Republican playbook.

Well, you should know that many on the Left are advocating exactly that..

DON'T work with Trump... Don't help Trump in ANY way..

OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT....

I am sure there are more than a few Weigantians who feel the same way....

No, I expect the Democrats to work with the new president wherever and whenever they can.

I expect so to.. But there are quite a few Democrats who will excoriate them...

You think Trump and Obama discussed Taiwan?

I doubt it... Trump had the Taiwan plan set weeks ago... Maybe even before he won the election...

Obama is a Go Along To Get Along kind of POTUS.... Trump isn't..

262

You mean like he did with Taiwan? Really?

That's a page out of the Republican playbook.

No, I expect the Democrats to work with the new president wherever and whenever they can.

Are you saying that it's the Democratic Party's intent to make Trump a one-term President by opposing EVERYTHING Trump says and does??

:D

259

I predict after 4 years of Trump, 60% of Weigantians will vote Trump.. :D

257

"Good gods, have I just started the 2020 campaign!!!???"

Biden for 2020!!! After one term of Trump, I think we are going to need him!!!!

Heh Yep..

And may the gods have mercy on yer soul!!!! :D

256

Precisely.

If Trump keeps even HALF his promises, Democrats are going to have to have a helluva candidate to win..

I dunno if Biden could do it then...

In any event, whatever Biden chooses to do in the future, in addition to leading the cancer moonshot in Beau's name, he will always be a strong voice for the promise of America.

Agreed..

255

I can say with utter conviction that, if Biden had run, it would be entirely likely that DEMOCRATS would have taken control of the government

Well, you know, Biden hasn't ruled out another run at the presidency and, only half-jokingly ...

Indeed, more than one US senator during the Biden tribute held out hope that he is not done with elected office.

In any event, whatever Biden chooses to do in the future, in addition to leading the cancer moonshot in Beau's name, he will always be a strong voice for the promise of America.

What do you think of the 21st Century Cures Act?

This is a piece of legislation that has been in the works for quite

I think it's a perfect example of the fact that, sometimes, our government DOES work...

It's a perfect example of Right & Left ignoring partisan ideology and doing what's right for the American people..

As to the legislation itself, from what I have read, it seems to be a worthwhile endeavor..

Just the fact that it has nearly universal bi-partisan support shows that...

It's only about two and half hours long.

I can't believe I just made a joke about that. Maybe that means I'm beginning to come to terms with how this great man has been treated so shabbily by everyone for so long ... maybe ...

I can say with utter conviction that, if Biden had run, it would be entirely likely that DEMOCRATS would have taken control of the government...

And, the really amazing part is that Biden didn't say much!

I can't believe I just made a joke about that. Maybe that means I'm beginning to come to terms with how this great man has been treated so shabbily by everyone for so long ... maybe ...

What do you think of the 21st Century Cures Act?

This is a piece of legislation that has been in the works for quite some time now and, passed the House with a big majority and the Senate on Monday in an overwhelmingly bipartisan 94-5 vote.

The opposition to the bill included the usual suspects, Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, demonstrating how they despise the art of compromise. Oh, I'm sorry, it wasn't compromise, said Senator Warren. It was extortion. What a joker!

By the way, did you see any of the Senate tribute to Vice President Biden? Here it is, ICYMI ...

Cuba’s Surge in Tourism Keeps Food Off Residents’ Plates
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/08/world/americas/cuba-fidel-castro-food-tourism.html

Doesn't seem to be going well for Cubans...

But, who cares about them.. As long as the Democratic Party agenda line is toe'ed, who CARES about the suffering of the locals... :^/

252

Unless you have facts to say that these statements are not facts, they stand as facts...

For example..

"Securing the historic Paris climate agreement."

Did Obama secure the Paris climate agreement?? No. He couldn't because it wasn't submitted to Congress..

"Securing the Trans-Pacific Partnership."

Did Obama secure the TPP?? No, he did not..

"Ending combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Did Obama end combat missions in the TOPs??? No, he did not..

""Closing Guantanamo Bay."

Did Obama close the prison? No he did not.

And so on and so on and so on...

What you call my "bubble" is reality...
