Those are, in my opinion, unimportant. The administration has sanctioned Russia through other - better - means. Including just yesterday (or the day before, I forget which. The one Putin laughed at). It's a canard, designed to get you to think the Russian story still has teeth. It doesn't. Wasn’t it signed by Trump in August, 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Dear leftist nutbags, What you're watching happen to the Kennedy kid with the embarrassing drool moment -- currently being carved by social media into tomorrow's lede about the DNC message -- is a solid reminder from the Rubio campaign that you should be careful what you wish for, as you will surely get it. Thanks again for your generous, forward-thinking generosity. Sincerely, Trump/Pence 2020 Reelection Headquarters Edited January 31, 2018 by LABillzFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TtownBillsFan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I think they're doing that because they don't even want to touch the substance (or lack there-)of his message. Even the left knows it was utter crap. Better to attack the messenger, as usual. And on such trivial things. Is it just coincidence that the movie Idiocracy is playing on Starz right now? Probably not, but good call on their part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 What Trump supported and omitted: Supports paid family leave Supports True amnesty for 1.8 million people Supports massive infrastructure spending No focus on US debt Also agrees with Obama that Russia is not US's top geopolitical threat No mention of entitlement reform Sounds like a Democrats wet dream for a Republican partner to have. But it's Trump. And the Democrats don't care about truly getting things done even if they have a willing partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TtownBillsFan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Does he support amnesty, or just granting a 'legal' status? I'm honestly asking, as I don't know that I've heard a definitive answer. I'm cool with a permanent legal status, so long as it doesn't come with a right to vote, nor any 'chain-migration' BS. And it MUST be accompanied by upgraded enforcement of the border; be that physical wall, technological wall, and/or all of the above. As to the rest, just say no to 'paid family leave' as any kind of government-declared right. That's between worker and employer. I'm okay with infrastructure spending, so long as things are truly 'shovel ready' Half-joking, no graft or waste, please. Let's just get the interstate highway systems back up to snuff. Let's reduce the debt by reducing spending across the board, straight 10% cut from last year works for me. And then continue a 1% or better cut per year until we balance. Let's get a budget in place, passed by Congress, that does the above, for the first time in too many years, please. Russia is not top geo-political threat. Countries with Sharia in place as ruling dictate are. Entitlement-reform, see above about reduced spending across the board. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TtownBillsFan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I agree, but I'd suggest China isn't so much an enemy, just someone we need to bring around to our way of seeing things. We each have the other by the short and curlys. Co-dependence. Just now, Boyst62 said: Sup tibs Barking up the wrong tree there, buddy I'm not that good, to be able to think that far left.

Sanctions, overwhelmingly approved by Congress, not being followed through on. overall a good speech, but that’s a conspicuous omission. Damned if he did, damned if he didn't. Better to leave it out of a speech that tried to call for unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
