Sorry. Soros most likely won't finance someone who doesn't want to do anything for him in return.

But I PROTESTED! The folks on the Right tell me I am incapable of having formulated a reason to protest on my own and that I MUST have been paid off by Soros. But I didn't get the money.

And you started doing "good" in 2009 under Obama. Yes Trump's economy is still doing well. It is following the same trend of the LONGEST ECONOMIC EXPANSION IN US HISTORY. It started in 2009 after Obama (also using some concepts put into play by George W.) was able to pull us out of the Great Recession.

I'm willing to give Trump his due that he has so far not been able to crater the US economy.

Had they thought about going to work. Best time to get a job would be now while Trump is in office.

I have to admit every criticism , every resistance , every opposition is not always good for the country. But I would rather live in a country where media, her citizen, opposition party can criticize her government, her authority then in a country where Government muzzle the media, attack the opposition, and those who question the motive.

What we are seeing today is that if you speak against the administration you are labeled as “ enemy of the people”. That is what damaging the country.

You may not like what media is saying, but calling them “ enemy of the people” is the real problem.

He has no problem with exhibiting McCarthyism. This is history less than 100 years old being repeated.

Really? Interesting. Because I remember DISTINCTLY the day during the Obama Administration when the DJIA (that's the "Dow Jones Industrial Average) hit an all time record high. It has since hit more highs beyond that.

Yes there were business interests who wanted Trump in so he'd give them the tax breaks they wanted. Indeed, there has been almost no benefit to the average worker from those tax breaks because most of that money went into stock buy backs (which artificially inflates the stock price and allows the executives to get bigger bonuses!) . (Workers barely benefited from Trump’s sweeping tax cut, investigation shows)

But you keep tellin' yourself that Trump is making your life better. (I assume you are a CEO of a major corporation...which is about the ONLY way Trump's economy would make your life better.)

AND: PLEASE! Tell us about your tax refund last year! I bet it was super-great!

Not many people understand how artificial inflation can be a detriment to the economy (and likely caused the first recession of the century).

Then if one takes that view with regards to the attempt to get rid of this duly-elected President and his Administration, he is automatically saying that he is willing to forever change the country and its institutions, no?

Do you believe US constitution give power to congress to use it’s impeachment power to overthrow “duly-elected President” ?

Do you believe 25th Amendment gives cabinet power to overthrow “duly-elected President”

If you think election is the ultimate power then fine, change the constitution.

Then your investors were lying to you. The economy and stock market did quite well under Obama.

The left media is attempting to bludgeon the American public into supporting impeachment - it started the day of the inauguration and continues to this day. Violence from the radical left is increasing and becoming commonplace is some areas of the country.

Black hooded jack thugs are hailed as some kind of heroes while they chase little girls, assaults' innocent people and burn businesses down - all in an attempt to stop anyone who they disagree with.

Their actions are fully supported by the leadership on the left through their silence.

You’re a poe, right? With that username and those wild stories you’re telling...

Although I do worry about the long term effects of Trump's trade wars --- "it's easy to win a trade war" --- I am far more worried about his foreign policy. He acts on his "hunches" without paying close attention (perhaps not any attention) to his own foreign policy advisors or even his own military command. His recent actions in Syria highlight these concerns. He has alienated one of our closest allies (the Kurds) in favour of another (Turkey) and is now on the verge of imposing sanctions of Turkey. In one stroke the entire balance of power in that region has been dramatically changed in a VERY negative way. Turkey has already expressed a willingness to obtain nuclear capability. They could have it overnight by simply seizing the approximately 40 or so tactical nukes at a US air base in Turkey. He is a loose cannon --- a very dangerous one because that cannon is loaded.

Kimberley Strassel claims anti-Trumper 'resistance' is doing institutional damage to the country

Fox News contributor and Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel said on Monday that the 'resistance' to President Trump is doing institutional damage to facets of the country.

“People are losing trust in the civil service to do the right thing,” Strassel told “Fox & Friends.”

“The resistors are the folks that, from the minute Trump was elected, they decided that he was an illegitimate president and that they were entitled to take any means necessary to remove him from office,” Strassel said.

Trump supporters got a thing for Ms. Strassel this week? That’s cute.

Trump is trying to dismantle the government bit by bit to the advantage of the rich and powerful. Tax cut, anyone?

Person selling book makes controversial statement to increase awareness. News at 11.

Tell us Bob, do you support the rights of those who disagree with Trump to speak their opposition?

Wow. Fox and Friends personality has an opinion that's negative about Trump opposition.

Powerful stuff.

Guess having the head of the US Department of Justice meet with the boss at Fox News did have some positive impact after all.

That's one thing about this money. It's no secret. You can easily go online and find out which front groups are financed by Soros and carrying out his plans. I suppose you might see if you could join.

Feel free to link to where we can sign up. If such a site actually exists. Which I'm extremely skeptical of - you'd think that if something existed outside of some wild conspiracy theory posts, it'd be all over this forum.

Exactly - as a direct result of Trump's ongoing smear campaign against them, and Fox's enabling of it.

Absolutely ... I was able to retire a decade early due to stock market's growth under Obama ...
