Predictions? Let's Have It!

I want Americans protected. So, if you want to quantify the bet let’s just say no more Isis attacks on US Soil.

Fair enough?

You should jump on this bet because I know you think it is so complicated that no one can figure out how to get it done. My gosh Obama is a genius and he couldn’t figure it out–LOL.

It will be done in two years time.

Bet?

But, he has not made a dime from being President elect. You are flying off the handle drooling with hate that he beat Hillary and the corrupt Clinton machine.

Like I said wait until he is in office and actually does something. You don’t want people to think that you are merely attacking him out of sour grapes do you?

Other than calling him a left winger I never said a bad word about Obama until he started screwing up the country and the world…Give Trump an opportunity to succeed or fail before you jump on him.

Fairness right?

Like you did when you used to maintain that the media was not biased…and then wikileaks came up with the proof and then…oh well. They turned out to be biased as I said all along.

That is pretty much correct.

Thank You,

ZEB

If Obama were a white republican he’d have been impeached…AND …removed from office.

That would be laughable if it wasn’t so damn dishonest, Zeb…

All snarkiness aside whom do you think the top 3 modern day Presidents were? I am defining modern day Presidents beginning with FDR.

I am curious as to your picks. And I will be glad to give you mine as well.

I said he was so left wing that he bordered on being a socialist and that he would raise my taxes. If you find anything else that I said before he was sworn in that had anything to do with something other than those two points I will apologize.

Go look.

Edit: I also said he was inexperienced. But that was not earth shattering most said that as well.

I am curious as to exactly what you mean.

Quite true the mainstream media was nothing more than his personal lap dog for 8 years.

loppar,

If you want to say that Trump is politically inexperienced that is a fair comment. Also, if you want to say that he will most likely lower taxes that too is fair game. Beyond that we have to wait and see

Politicians tend to score low on my “people” scale, and by right I mean a traditional Left-Right spectrum where one end is total government control, and the other no government at all. Leftism being total, and rightism being none. People who trend to THAT right (no to be confused with Contemporary American Right, which is pretty damn authoritarian in and of itself) understand the things I said as true.

That post was more tinge in cheek and meant as a joke.

You mean you didn’t demean Obama (in racial terms) under the monikor Mick28 in the thread “Barack the Magic Negro” in spring 2007, well before Obama was elected?

Has it ever been demanded that a president elect divest from all of his personal business interests, or put them into a blind trust, lest there be accusations of conflict of interest?

Has any previous president done that?

No, where did I say such a thing?

Actually from my recollection most have done that. But then again most show their tax return as well.

Mick28, from that thread:

“I really hate that word. I think in this day and age we can think of a better word than…magic. I mean, it’s so over used.”

Thanks. That is ignorance on my part. I’ve heard it being called for quite a bit, but didn’t know if that was standard practice or an angle of attack.

I did not see any such thing when I clicked on the link that you provided.

I’m not sure of who did what, or whenever, but my thoughts on this are:

He should. It’s a sign of good faith, and even though it does jack and shit to preclude him from doing what @loppar is very concerned about (rightfully so, but he’s a bit insistent he can see the future) it is a symbolic gesture that can help shut the left the fuck up.

Which should always be the goal, and shows a good faith effort to be an actual leader for everyone, not just partisan hacks.

The last thing we need is the Republican’s version of Obama in the “my way or I’ll call you racist” brand of politics. We need someone who is actually looking to do a good job, not just get his name in history books based solely on what HE thinks is “progress”.
