Trump doesn't understand the philosophical differences between what he said during the campaign and the people he hired to write his budgets and it is going to hurt him A LOT politically.

Sloober posted:Naw, nobody is holding President Trump to the words of Candidate Trump. They've dismissed a billion things as campaign trail issues I know but Trump doesn't understand how damaging what's in his budget is going to be to him politically and none of it is because of his ideology.

Pander posted:Uh, Rachel is significantly better, it's just Hayes is significantly better than everyone else but her. Untrue. Hayes is much better than Maddow. Maddow is barely a progressive and said she considered disgusting pig rapist Roger Ailes, "a friend." She's a careerist above all. Hayes has actually walked the walk.

Arturo Ui posted:This is right. Hayes is pretty clearly a leftist but plays a liberal on TV as you can't be a real leftist and have a prime time news show. Rachel has only been reporting on Russia for months and frequently skirts conspiracy theory territory Hayes' weekend morning show was BY FAR the best political thing on TV for as long as it was on.

B B posted:He personally prevented ACA from having a public option, for one. No. it's worse than that. The Public option was DOA. What he did was kill the Medicare buyin at age 55 which is basically the number 1 reason that the ACA insurance markets are having problems now. It had 60 votes of support and Leiberman CHANGED HIS MIND when he saw progressives supporting it. People died because of that vote and it was purely because of spite. Also, he was one of the main boosters of the Iraq war until pretty much the end of the Bush presidency at which he went to the Republican Convention and endorsed McCain and Sarah loving Palin over Obama. He's vile scum.

FizFashizzle posted:Also Israel really isn't an issue anymore since Obama did a very good job of extricating the US from the I/P conflict in a lot of ways, but back in the early 2000s israel/palestine was a MAJOR wedge issue and lieberman was always there handwaving atrocities committed against Palestinians. Well now all democrats do that so I didn't mention it heh.

Bottom Liner posted:Trump's budget director being unable to count is the icing on the cake of this stupid administration. Good thing these dumb fuckers are so stupid or else we'd be in a lot deeper poo poo. They're literally too dumb to enact their evil plans. I kinda like Mulveney. He just tells you what every other republican is too chickenshit to tell you. He literally said that his baseline for this budget is based on having compassion for the people who pay taxes (rich people) and not having compassion for people who use the services (poors and middle class.). That is what they all think... At least he isn't hiding it.
