This should be quite interesting. I think I'm going to make some popcorn, sit back and enjoy this. 😄

All those "Tough on Crime" conservatives who would be outraged at the commutation if President Obama had granted it.

And all those "Bleeding Heart Liberals" who hate anything Trump does.

Set aside all the rhetoric (include Trump's) and look at policy...and what you have is a centralist.

@DownTheStreet Huh? I hate when stuff goes over my head. 😝

@SimplyTracie He's not a republican or democrat, he's in the middle.

@DownTheStreet A centrist only looks at policies and how it impacts society? Like it’s not important who sets policy?

DownTheStreet · 51-55, M

@SimplyTracie ahhhh...i meant to simply say most of his policies are not far right wing at all.

@DownTheStreet Bull shit. A centrist doesn't appoint a bunch of far right icons to every single opening that isn't bought by some billionaire. A centrist doesn't refer to nazis as "very fine people". A centrist doesn't systematically undo everything their predecessor did. And a centrist sure as hell doesn't go about dismantling or perverting every government agency they can so that they all lean right.

@OggggO I approve of almost everything he's done, but he needs to go much further.

@TheProphet Wowza.

TheProphet · M

@SimplyTracie You already knew that.

@OggggO Your assuming his predecessor wasn't a leftist, a marxist...but one thing on SW has taught me is to no even both to reason with the the capital L liberals, they get all frothy at the mouth. So...do me a favor, block me.

@TheProphet I just though I converted you toward the center but I was wrong. 😝

TheProphet · M

@SimplyTracie On some topics yes you did.

@TheProphet 😊

@DownTheStreet Leftist by American standards maybe, although he was also to the right of Reagan on some policies. The idea that Obama was Marxist is downright laughable.
