What are the reccommendations of Pelosi and Schumer? All I hear from them is Trump-bashing, no solutions!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Maybe they bash him because they expect more from their leader. Maybe they expect a leader to stop being wishy washy.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie I have to disagree, Trump could have the best ideas the world has ever known and they would shoot them down, because he doesn't have a "D" after his name! With them it's not right or wrong, it's because he's not on their team!

I would be willing to bet that if God himself were to come down from Heaven and praise Trump as a righteous man, Pelosi and her minions would try to impeach him for trying to have God influence the election!

@fanuc2013 Well, the only thing I’m waiting on Trump to do is to unite the nation. Remember how he boasted that he is a uniter? Still waiting...

@fanuc2013 Now you’re being ridiculous

@fanuc2013 Wait..... I thought God did come down and praise trumpy bear as not only being a righteuos man, but the He had actually come down and declared him to be His chosen one.

I could swear I heard trumpy bear declare that to be so. And ot only him, but several others too.

Are you somehow saying he isn't? Are you? LOL.

Your're an idiot.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie yes, I am, but you know it's true!
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Nobody can be a uniter if the opposition is firmly entrenched to reject anything and everything you say or do!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 I will say that even Trump wouldn’t believe it?
masaca · 70-79, M
@fanuc2013 You might want to launch a tweet to trump to tell him that, palsy.

@fanuc2013 Are you sayin that the art of the Deal would only work if the other side is your buddy?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie no, but the other side has to be willing to negotiate and compromise, and Pelosi and her ilk are willing to do neither! Now, don't get me wrong, the republicans aren't saints! The next time we have a Democrat for president, and we will, the whole situation will be reversed, and the republicans will be just as bad as Pelosi and Schumer are now! I have followed this since I took government class in high school, and looking back through the history books, the people in Washington have always had an "us vs. them" mentality. Then when I took political science in college, I found the whole process absolutely sickening! The politicians all spend more time on getting re-elected than they do actually doing their job! And, between insider trading and skimming campaign funds, they all end up multi-millionaires after a few terms! And then there's the lobbyists! Another source of money, perks, and corruption! It's become so ingrained I don't know what could ever be done about it!

Anyway, sorry to rant, I guess we all have to accept what we can't change.

@fanuc2013 You mean compromise like those 181 bills sitting on moscow mitch's desk waiting for a vote (for years.)?

That kind of compromising (working together)?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 It takes skills to bring everyone to a round table and to start a dialogue. But the leader or moderator cannot criticize members of the group. Trump cannot help himself and will criticize others.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie apparently no one with those skills has shown up in the last 50 yrs,, and with the current climate, I doubt we will see one in another 50
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 There are a lot of great leaders in America living and breathing today. You don’t think any of them are capable of uniting this country? Not a one?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie nobody wants the job! With all the abuse would you?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 I wouldn’t but lotsa people would love to apply. Kanye?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie I wouldn't either, a lot of people would apply, but I think the really qualified candidates would pass, they wouldn't want to take the abuse, or live under a microscope.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 You don’t think qualified civic minded people would make the sacrifice for their country?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Did you ask that with a straight face?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Yeah but it kinda hurt my cheeks.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie LOL!!!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 🤣
