What MAJOR IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE do you think Trump can do?
We've got this thing called "Checks and balances" in addition to THREE branches of government. Now I know the CRAZY left is yammering on about nuclear war but that's not real. That's just CRAZY left talk. So what horrible thing can Trump do?
You sound like someone who got the 6th grade explanation of how government works and nothing else. The executive branch has tons of autonomous power. Judicial appointments, agency directives, executive orders, prioritizing resources, etc. The only thing we've got working for us now is the fact that Trump is totally incompetent and doesn't actually care about governing. If he had a real agenda, or allowed someone with a real agenda to influence him, they could do a lot of damage.
They could completely **** up the environment, kill net neutrality, wreck foreign relations. There are no checks on those things.
Enlighten me. Which one of these horrible things so you think he will ACTUALLY DO?
Any of the examples in the last paragraph are realistic.
So Bush had these same powers? Obama? I know you love you some Obama but what did Bush do, BY HIMSELF, that ****** up America?
So your thread has gone from Trump is the worst president ever to really...how bad could he be? Certainly no worse than Bush.
So you've resorted to asking question to answer questions? That's how I know you're backed into a corner and desperately want to change the direction of the thread.
Enlighten me. Which one of these horrible things so you think he will ACTUALLY DO?
So Bush had these same powers? Obama? I know you love you some Obama but what did Bush do, BY HIMSELF, that ****** up America?
Like I already said, any of the three examples I gave are reasonably likely.
What difference does it make what Bush or Obama did?
No, they are not "reasonably likely". At least not in the mind of a somewhat sane person.
Bush was horrible according to most lefties. Did he **** up the environment? Kill net neutrality? Wreck foreign relations? Obama was horrible to most on the right? Did he do any of these things?
Trump appointed a head of the FCC who is openly hostile towards net neutrality. He repealed environmental regulations and pulled out of the Paris agreement. He hasn't staffed the state department to adequately levels and has relied on diplomacy-by-twitter.
Those things are already happening.
Are they?
Head of FCC has done what?
Paris accord was nothing more than "Yep, we'll do that" with no repercussions if you don't.
Which countries do we have a weaker relationship now? Please exclude NK.
Seriously, Chicken BLittle, the sky is not falling.
The Paris agreement was "yep we'll do that." And now WE'RE NOT DOING IT.
The head of the FCC has announced plans to eliminate title II classification. Maybe it won't happen, but it's reasonable to think it will.
We have worse relations with the 19 other countries in the G20. Especially Germany and France.
We have worse relations with Mexico.
The Paris agreement was "yep we'll do that." And now WE'RE NOT DOING IT. -- Economically not feasible. Do you not understand basic finance?
The head of the FCC has announced plans to eliminate title II classification. Maybe it won't happen, but it's reasonable to think it will. - Why is this on the Pres?
We have worse relations with the 19 other countries in the G20. Especially Germany and France. Germany and France aka Socialist countries overrun by Islamists with little to no military power. They need us more than we need them. We have better relations with Israel and China.
We have worse relations with Mexico. LOL - country run by drug cartels?
You need to do better than this
Please explain how Paris was not feasible.
The Pres appoints the head of the FCC. If Trump didn't want to eliminate net neutrality, he could replace the current head with someone else.
You think Germany is socialist????????
Mexico is an incredibly important economic ally.
Please explain how Paris was not feasible. - Because it would cost us jobs and GDP. While it would force the US to lower our emissions, China and India would not be forced to do anything. Doesn't seem feasible to me.
The Pres appoints the head of the FCC. If Trump didn't want to eliminate net neutrality, he could replace the current head with someone else. -- He has hired and fired many appointments. He is new at his role. You are upset at him for delegating?
You think Germany is socialist???????? - I do! And you conveniently avoided the Islamist fact. How convenient?
Mexico is an incredibly important economic ally. - Explain how? Explain incredibly important. Pretty sure they need us more than we need them. Again a country run by drug cartels.
