What you see as "appeasement", I see as taking a different approach to settling the potentially deadly situation with some of the world's worst regimes.
The trade thing is just an attempt at levelling the playing field, so the US didn't come out on the losing end, again. Trade deficits ring a bell?
Immigration is not the problem. ILLEGAL immigration is the problem. Inherited from the previous administrations. The laws on the books are also leftovers from the 0zero days.
Nothing "left wing" about the Trump administration. Because you think it is, does not make it so.
Wait a minute, isn't that one of the "Rules for Radicals"? Say something over and over again, until it becomes believable. Or something like that.
How's that economy working for ya? Sad that ya can't, or won't, see the good Trump has done since he was elected. With no to little help from the swamp creatures.
You really do need to have that TDS checked out. It sounds serious. Good luck, Peter.
You do remember the stimulus packages which stimulated 0zero's buds bank accounts with not much in the way of results. Don't you?
The ten trillion increase in debt during the 0zero admin?
Etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum.
And you do know that Bernie is at the very least a socialist, right? You do understand that socialism is what Cuba and Venezuela are suffering under, right?
Suggest you study a bit on the socialist/communist systems of governing prior to your next post.
It's obvious that you haven't worked in a classified environment, so let me give you an analogy: Suppose you were working in an environment with hazardous materials that had the capability of a deadly explosion. You don't take the course in safety precautions, make mistakes, and another person, or persons end up with serious injuries because you didn't follow instructions. Wouldn't you be held at fault, even if you didn't intend to hurt those who suffered as a result of your negligent behavior?
The State Department classified files contain important diplomatic agreements naming key people, some of whom are also connected to our intelligence agencies. What Hillary did was leave exposed files that could have resulted in some of those key persons being assassinated, or cause a conflict to start. That is not an "IT error."
I see this as an IT technicality. I suspect she had no idea where here files were stored. I don't care about these technicalities, regardless of party.
Also, what part of big government has been shrunk by Trump?
The Trump administration has failed to repeal Obamacare, passed trillion dollar spending bills, is currently apparently negotiating with Democrats to pass even bigger infrastructure spending bills, are regulating trade and immigration beyond anything we've seen for a long time.
Not to mention the most appalling appeasement of the worst regimes on the planet we've ever seen. I mean, even Obama wasn't hopeless enough to prostrate himself before Kim Jon.
This is basically a third Obama term in every respect, except far more appeasing of America's enemies and even MORE left wing in areas like immigration and trade.
Sad that these very obvious and important points are being so heavily down voted here, but oh well.
Now, if some event had removed her from the running early in the primary season or even before it? Then I would expect to see either Sanders or Warren as the nominee. Sanders, at least, would have done better than Hillary did because many of us were much more anti-Hillary than pro-Trump. Does he beat Trump? I still give Trump the edge but it would be much closer.
Incidentally, I don't give Sanders a chance if he runs in 2020. We all know more about both him and Trump, which is good for Trump. Even though he hasn't built the wall yet, he's gotten us a good economy.
- allowed several Clinton Aides to be granted immunity prior to deposing them
- allowed those same Aides to be present during the depositions of other Aides and even Hillary Clinton herself
- read into the statute/law an intent provision so as to justify a non-indictment
- signed the FISA warrant authorizing spying on Carter Page and the Trump campaign
- disclosed confidential data to a professor friend intending it get leaked to the public
- disgraced the office of Head of the FBI
Comey's pension should be revoked, he should be disbarred permanently, and he should be tried for treason.
Wait for the IG report on the mishandling of the investigation. It will prove to be instructional to say the least.
Hillary was indeed demonstrating "gross negligence" (the official term that Comey avoided) of the worst sort, putting special access material on an unclassified server. The NSA confirmed that at least six foreign agencies hacked that server, thanks to her disregard for protecting the material.
Some would say she was just preoccupied with her job as Secretary of State, but the State Department had protected servers for her use, so why did she deliberately set up a private server? Paranoid, maybe? What made things worse was that after she realized Comey was investigating her, she had her staff destroy her laptops and cell phones, which is clear obstruction of justice.
I realize there are political machinations that imply crime where none actually exists, as Mueller exposed, but the facts of what Hillary Clinton did are clear. The political machinations in this case were to protect a candidate who, it was hoped, would continue the Obama policies.
Given how awful and left wing the Trump administration has been, it's hard to say if that would've been a worse outcome than what we have today.
I think people who follow this closer overstate how many are fooled by this and really believe the other politician is a criminal. I suspect, although I don't have survey evidence, that there's a silent majority would never fall for this.
