We completely disagree on
-Attacked the FBI and the press, making them enemies of the people. Screw the press. They have been picking political sides since the 1st Amendment was written. They have the right to attack the President. He has the right to call them the inbred ***** that they are. Both get to exercise Freedom of Speech...and it's not going to create a Constitutional crisis. The FBI is different. It should never be an enemy of the people. Unfortunately, it has been used as such several times in history. The FBI has been weaponized and needs a house cleaning. It was time for its feet to be held to the fire.
-Failed to acknowledge that climate change is a problem, hired Scott Pruitt. There is no such thing as climate change unless we are acknowledging that the climate has been continually changing for the past six billion years. This is far left insanity at the height of its powers of delusion. Actually, it is all about power and control...so it really isn't a delusional ploy by the powerbrokers. The delusion is suffered by the average American who buys the hype. It doesn't matter anyway. According to the great Al Gore in An Inconvenient Truth, it's already too late because the 10 years are up. What a scam.
-Appointed Betsy DeVos, refuses to address schools. Betsy DeVos is just fine. The Department of Education is what needs to eliminated. Nothing like an unconstitutional regulatory clusterfuck to destroy our contry's ability to learn.
-Approved Dakota Pipeline. I'd approve 100 pipelines if it put OPEC out of business.
-Cutting tons of regulations. Seriously? Do you believe the role of federal government is to create regulations? This is one of the shining triumphs of the Trump presidency so far.
-Left Paris Climate Accord. I believe I have answered this alerady. You gotta love the champions of climate change. Leonardo DiCrapio flies to Switzerland on his private jet to give an impassioned keynote speech about how bad fossil fuels are. He then promptly flies back to LA...wasting more aviation fuel than I will use gas for my car during a lifetime. What a scam.
-Failure to make a significant stance on gun control. The 2nd Amendment, for me, is inviolate. I could go on about this but I think you can see where our difference lies immediately. The only way I accept gun control is through a Constitutional amendment re-writing the 2nd.
-Pulling out of Iran Nuclear agreement. I don not believe in negotiating with terrorists. They are also an enemy. Screw Iran. The only piece of paper I would sign with Iran would be their unconditional surrender.
-The whole family separation fiasco. I believe in very strong borders, although (now) not necessarily a wall. I don't know what else you are expecting us to do here. Destroy ICE seems to be the flavor of the month. That is very productive far left insanity talking. The same "fiasco" existed when Obama was POTUS but ICE was just dandy then. This feels like nothing more than opposition party propaganda to push a hot-button topic hoping to manufacture outrage to get sympathy votes in the next election cycle.
-Attacked the FBI and the press, making them enemies of the people. I agree that the press has its problems. Trump isn't helping himself. The whole issue just keeps getting worse because neither side is helping themselves. I disagree that the FBI is weaponized. Both sides think the FBI is biased against them. I think it's ridiculous.
-Failed to acknowledge that climate change is a problem, hired Scott Pruitt. Climate change 100% exists, This is not up for debate, I am sorry. Yes, climate is constantly changing. Does it matter whether it's man-made? We still need to stop it. Trump doesn't care. I really care about this issue. Temperatures are rising. FACT. Water levels are rising. FACT. Water levels rising has major effects on the environment and humans. FACT. Also, Scott Pruitt is the worst hire of the Trump presidency. So many scandals, and he is too busy cutting important regulations to worry about stopping climate change. He really ****** me off.
-Appointed Betsy DeVos, refuses to address schools. She is not fine. I think she is an imbecile who has no idea what she is doing. The DOE is flawed but I would much rather have them than the states. States are awful at education policy. And my opinions on what to do with education are pretty well-known.
-Approved Dakota Pipeline. This was just a flat-out bad decision. No care for other people and it hurts the environment.
-Cutting tons of regulations. There's a line between too many regulations and too little. Trump is crossing the too little line. One problem I have is that Republicans seem to have the goal of cutting regulations and not benefiting America. Even if the regulation is good for us, cutting it is a victory. Dems may primarily raise regulations but raising regulations isn't a policy goal for them.
-Left Paris Climate Accord. While that is hypocritical, it doesn't disprove the existence of climate change. And many on the right are hypocritical too. If you go and look back, many people who now are disbelievers were once very convinced of the existence of Climate Change. Post-2008 that all changed. I'll let you figure that one out.
-Failure to make a significant stance on gun control. I don't think you need to change 2A to pass gun control, and this has been backed up in court before.
-Pulling out of Iran Nuclear agreement. I think the Iran deal hurt Iran and helped us. If a deal helps us, why not sign it? Many in Iran HATED the deal when it was signed.
-The whole family separation fiasco. I need to get more knowledgeable on this, but the whole thing was just not a good look. I don't think ICE should be removed, and I believe in strong borders. Maybe not very strong. Definitely not open. Somewhere in the middle. Immigration should be easier for good hombres, and we need better ways of keeping out the bad hombres, and the ones who don't want to come in legally.
