blackbird Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Trump is actually doing a good job. He is being hamstrung by Democrats and obstreperous Rupublicans who are not cooperating. Trump is fighting the liberal democrats and liberal media who twist everything against him. California is a stronghold for leftist and liberals. But read this article on the downhill spiral of California. They are in BIG trouble there. Jerry Brown’s California: Devastation, Plunder, Economic Failure http://canadafreepress.com/article/jerry-browns-california-devastation-plunder-economic-failure California has about 13,500 state and government employees drawing salaries of over $200,000 a year. California has 13 million welfare recipients. They have over 1.4 million formerly government employees drawing overly generous pensions. Quote When you add up the numbers, there are far more Californians drawing from the government than people working outside the government and paying taxes. According to William Baldwin in Forbes, six states are at risk of going into a downward spiral in the next recession because of this unsustainable ratio of private sector workers to state government workers, and those on welfare or receiving welfare benefits. And in California, this does not take into consideration the millions of illegal aliens, some of whom are also on the dole. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, “nearly one in ten California workers is an undocumented immigrant.” Unquote When a recession comes, California will be in serious trouble. There are now more takers than givers. A book has been written "California's War Against Donald Trump - Who Wins, Who Loses" available on Amazon. The leftist policies are sinking California.

Presidents are not elected to whine about the malaise they inherit. The U.S. is still dealing with President Carter's few successes and far greater number of domestic and foreign policy failures. He makes many others' "10 Worst Presidents" lists, regardless of political bias. Carter was a nice guy who never should have been been president as the job overwhelmed him and his naive faith in mankind. Which you would agree was nothing compared to the much worse oil crisis of 1973? In fact the oil crisis of 1979 had nothing to do with Carter at all as it was the free market reacting to the Iranian Revolution. Explain what exactly was so bad about carter. You see this is what I mean that the Republicans were very good at vilianizing him, so good that you just conclude he is terrible without any facts. Carter took on washington lobbyist, including the ones in his own party, and he tried to bring transparency to a corrupt institution, you think corrupt democrats are going to like Carter? Of course not, alot of democrats in congress wanted Reagan to win because they knew he was corrupt and that Reagan wasn't going to be in a position to assert any moral authority.

Yet all those who will complain about California are the first to run off their from hicktown to try to get a real job. California does have real problems, most of them caused by right wing democrats and republicans who realize that there only hope to get elected is to run as a democrat. California is a huge state with a huge population. The worse states for welfare are right wing states where dems have zero chance of election like Mississippi, Tennessee, West Virginia, etc. Cali does have a disproportionately large amount of people on welfare but that is only because its rules for welfare permit children to collect, even when the parents are ineligible, and it also last longer than most other states and it pays more. And what is wrong with welfare, I'd prefer a poor person on welfare than robbing my house or raping for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actually a benchmark called the "Misery Index" and Carter set the record. Carter paid for this by losing in a record landslide election won by Ronald Reagan.

But Trump will probably rank as the worse president of the 20th and 21st century mainly because he is a grossly ineffective leader. Never mind the policies and rhetoric, Trump's best asset is conning naive poor and ignorant bigoted white voters that he is as racist as they are so they should vote for him. He is quiet bad at politics, I mean he struggled against Hilary Clinton who is widely perceived as the worse candidate the democrats have run in a really long time. That being said, Trump is a bad president because he degrades the office but more importantly he is ineffective, ineffective with his own party, ineffective at pushing through any of his agenda, ineffective at turning any of his ideas into laws, ineffective at working across the aisle or building political alliances, ineffective even within his own administration, he is constantly firing his own members of staff and cabinet. He makes threats, but the countries he is threatening do not even take him seriously so he has substantially degraded the office of the presidency, not even talking about all the lies. Prior to Trump there was just fears that North Korea could one day hit America, hypothetically with a nuclear weapon, under Trump its not a fear, you have the leader of North Korea threatening to do that. TTrump has managed to undo the Iran deal, and he is basically going to turn America into a failed state. ..

Democracy burped, and elected a mistake. It happens.

The gerrymandering system within the EC along with the no holds barred financial support concludes that the Koch Bros. and such will continue to control the electoral system. Trump is a puppet and I wouldn't doubt he's unaware of that. Why bother even placing ballot boxes it obviously just wastes peoples time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is not perfect but he is an improvement over the past presidents that did nothing about a number of serious problems. As far as I know Trump is the only one who advocated building a wall. The wall is badly needed. There are perhaps 11 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. A large number of those are criminals who commit crimes in the U.S. Some have murdered Americans. There are also major drug smuggling operations going on constantly with billions of dollars worth of cocaine and other drugs being smuggled across the border from central and South America. A wall probably won't stop it but it might slow it down somewhat. These drugs are being sold all over the U.S. and in Canada, and destroying the lives of millions of people. Obama basically did nothing about the crime and drugs. In fact the opponents of Trump made many cities "sanctuary cities", compounding the problem and making it harder to get rid of criminals.

"The Wall" has to be one of the stupidest ideas Trump has come up with to date, although he keeps coming up with worse, but if Americans want to piss away billions, and years in the courts simply getting permission to pursue such idiocy, then piss away. Who do you think are actually doing the drug smuggling, and who are providing the market for it? Give ya a hint...(Americans). There's hardly a day goes by Trump doesn't contradict himself. He's not only "not perfect", he's a figgin' idiot who could very well be heading into war, and he's not even sure why. Hopefully the grown ups around the WH and the military are keeping a close eye on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have any substance. You'll have to think a little deeper and come up with something more meaningful that can be examined for substance. If you had ever read or seen any documentaries, the drugs are coming from central and south Americans in the drug producing areas being brought up by latin Americans, then smuggled into the U.S. by various ways. Billions of dollars worth a year that is harming millions of people in America. But this seemed to be a low priority for Obama and his predecessors. Trump is determined to take action although there are a lot of representatives in government dragging their feet.
