I wouldn't directly equate Trumpenstaffel with Tea Partiers. Sure, there's a lot of overlap, but Cruz is a Tea Partier, for example.

Trump just said at Daytona Beach rally that if he were President that the Navy hostages would have gotten back faster.

Now he says taxes are through the roof and Hilary wants to increase taxes. I thought the only president in history to issue an income tax stimulus payment was Obama. Oh, well.

Obama's stimulus plan was massively smaller than was recommended by Keynesian economists, he was bargained down by Rahm Emanuel (then Chief of Staff) before the plan even got to Congress and they bargained it down further from there. Obama was also stupid enough to think that he could ask for more at a future date when it was perfectly clear from Day 1 that he was going to get exactly one shot at stimulus.

Of course you can't fault Obama for creating the 2008 crisis or anything like that, but you can certainly fault his responses to it as timid and naieve. And for selecting Rahm as CoS.
One thing about the 2009 stimulus is transportation funds sent to states were often used to cover budget shortfalls instead of generating new infrastructure jobs. For example, if a state got 1 billion for transportation then they adjusted their own transportation budget down by 1 billion to cover the rest of the budget.

Growth was stymied but it stopped the bleeding.

So I keep hearing about these Iranian "hostages" - were they innocent and we traded known spies for them, or were they probably guilty as poo poo and rightfully arrested?

one was a journalist who probably wasn't up to anything, one was a former marine who did intel and was in iran visiting relatives for ramadan, one was a pastor trying to build an orphanage, one was a student who probably wandered across the border stupidly, and there was another guy who is probably a chronic liar and general weirdo

Hillary did do 9/11, in a way.

If she had satisfied her husband he wouldn't have gone elsewhere, wouldn't have had the whole Lewinsky scandal, and then when he was trying to kill Osama Bin Laden he wouldn't have been accused of wagging the dog and had opposition force him to stop his quest. And Al Gore would have used him and been elected and paid attention to security memos and 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

So really, the entire Bush administration and right wing rise is all Hillary Clinton's fault because she can't sexually satisfy a man. - DJT

I think you've misunderstood me. I'm saying Trump would get Julius Caesar'd under the 25th by his own administration.

Under the 25th, the VP and the heads of the executive departments can all get together and declare the president unfit to perform his duties, which the president can challenge and undo, and then the VP et al can do it again and it goes to congress who at that point would probably remove him.

Again noting that if anyone wants to see Trump high off his balls then watch his current rambling, a brief selection of quotes lifted from c-spam:

quote:

"This guy's a Democrat, he's voting for me, which is shocking because he's wrong about a lot of things"

quote:

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose to Crooked Hillary Clinton? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

quote:

"I turn on the television...I wanna watch, cereal, a cereal, Kellogg's or something!"

quote:

"When the World Trade Center came down I said 'NICE! Reeaaaal nice!'"

Do you want to see a man lose his loving mind on national television?

EDIT:

quote:

"I spend millions of dollars on ramps... I am a tremendous fan"
