Guess 2017 is MIA.

Deflection.

Clinton was great still we didn’t give gore a chance.

Obama got us out of bush’s Great Recession still we went republican.

Trumps a one termer.

Reagan was labeled an "amiable dunce" by the media.

Bush was labeled worse.

They both earned and served two terms.

"Misunderestimate" Trump's chances at two terms at your peril.

Indeed, "peril" is the word.

 

[Fugazi]

There is only one group in the U.S.A. that does better no matter which party appears to be in charge, and that is the rich. No matter what you are told, Democrats and Republicans alike don't give a rats ass about you, unless you are rich.
But please, be my guest, keep arguing among yourselves about the really important things, like who can use what bathroom.

The world has never seen a middle class like the one we had from the New Deal to Unions to Labor Laws. From about 1950-1980 the American middle class was booming.

And since Reagan, all the things that benefit the middle class have been chipped away at and the rich have been getting richer and richer and richer.

Stop with this bullshit that there is no difference between the parties. Then leave USMB and don't vote if you really believe that.

I'll bet you 1000 dollars that you lean conservative. It's always cons who are trying to convince the masses that voting doesn't matter. Meanwhile they fucking show up every fucking 2 years and pull the fucking lever for Republicans. Am I wrong about you? If you lie I'll go look at your history to see if the threads you start and if you the comments you make lean right or left. I'll bet you fucking MONEY you are a con.

I'm a liberal who lives in Canada, I accept your bet.

Even since January 2019, the world is so much better.

By now the new Rat Congress was supposed to have been halfway through impeaching and removing President Trump from office.

Instead they are mired down in the muck of blackface, afterbirth abortion governors and anti-Semitic democrats.

They are imploding as we speak.

This has been a wonderful year so far, politically speaking.

The largely unreported and to some ironic reality of the past two years is that the world overall is a better, safer, more prosperous place since the swearing in of Donald Trump as President of the United States in 2016. Better than it was under Barack Obama and better than it was under George W. Bush.

Despite the nonstop onslaught of negative reporting on Trump — 90 percent according to the Media Research Center (there’s been 10 percent positive?) — and the breathless reporting on the government shutdown, the latest Robert Mueller leak or arrest, the Kavanaugh hearing fiasco, fake news such as BuzzFeed’s flat wrong non-story on Trump telling Michael Cohen to lie, the disgusting anti-Christian bigotry associated with the MAG-hat Covington Catholic High School students and so on ad infinitum — Trump’s approval ratings remain right in the range they were when he took office, and ticking upward.

That suggests that the relentlessly anti-Trump, Democratic partisan media is washed out by what his actual policies have so clearly accomplished.

But it also suggests that a lot of Americans — probably more than are reflected in polls, and at least some who support Trump — simply do not feel safe saying to anyone that they realize how much better off the country and the world are. It wasn’t supposed to happen. But the media not reporting something does not mean it didn’t happen.

So here are some of the major areas where the world is demonstrably better off since January 2016:

→ First, the economy, duh! 304,000 jobs in January, blowing out all of the predictions. Manufacturing has burst back in the U.S. when President Obama said those jobs would never return. (Man, that guy was wrong a lot.) GDP growth 50 percent higher than it had been under Obama, even though the recovery is now long in the tooth. This has led to a growing consensus among non-political economists that what has driven the economic renaissance has been tax cuts, massive deregulation, stronger trade policy, tax breaks to lure back offshore capital, and a dramatic rise in oil and natural gas production.

→ The entire federal court system will be far more conservative and constitutional for a generation as Trump’s judicial nominees have been uniformly originalists and conservative…and young. This means that there should be fewer overtly political rulings in which the law and constitution are bent to judges’ political views like a reed in the wind, and more solid rules for governing and living.

→ The dishonest and duplicitous media has been unmasked for the partisans they are. This was unintended, of course, but Americans are better off knowing this (something I have known for many, many years as a former member of the mainstream media.) The media’s vicious partisanship has been widely self-exposed for Americans to see, although many members of the media themselves seem to remain in denial. The vast majority of Americans do not.

→ China’s systemic cheating on trade agreements and thieving of intellectual properties has been called out and responded to forcefully. Since Trump’s inauguration, an accepted consensus has emerged that China’s actions pose a commercial threat to world trade, to its geographic neighbors and to the security of the United States. Ultimately, we will end up with better, more fair trade that will absolutely benefit American companies and workers, but also will benefit most of the rest of the world, which will be more empowered to demand better, more fair agreements for their companies and workers.

→ Pulling out of the terrorist-enabling Iran nuclear agreement did not result in the end of the world, In fact, the world basically yawned past the regular hyperbolic media coverage. Further, most of the sanctions have been reinstated, including by our European friends, when the media Democrats assured us they could not be. Iran is feeling the pinch. Leashing up the murderous Mullah’s financially makes the world that much safer.

→Similarly, when the U.S. walked away from the essentially worthless, symbolic Paris Climate Accords, the world did not warm and seas did not rise. Actually, the U.S. continues to be a leader in reduction of carbon emissions, largely through the voluntary, innovative private sector.

→ The U.S. showed its promise-keeping resolve for the first time when Trump directed the U.S. embassy in Israel to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — just like Obama, Bush and Bill Clinton had promised to do before him, but never did. The hyperventilating over lighting the Middle East tinderbox never materialized. The normal amount of Muslim terrorism and Israeli military response ensued afterwards as before.

→ Black Americans are enjoying an employment resurgence like that not seen since before the disastrous implementing of the Great Society. While overall U.S. unemployment hit a 50-year low in Trump’s second year, joblessness among black Americans has set a modern record as well. Black employment has risen about 1.3 million under Trump to hit a record 19.3 million in October. Now this clearly started before Trump, but that it accelerated this long into a recovery is fairly remarkable.

→ Russian aggression against Ukraine and other small neighbors has been held in check as the U.S. has sent arms and supplies to the Ukraine and stiffened the response to Russian belligerence. The tough talk had already been backed by missile attacks against Russian mercenaries in Syria and Russian-backed Syrian allies. Using the big stick once or twice means carrying it around becomes a deterrent — not a joke as with the previous president. The crossing of any red line is obviously not going to be acceptable and Russia knows that.

→ Trump’s forceful efforts to denuclearize North Korea resulted in a one-one-one summit with President Kim, and second one coming up. It started with tough talk, followed by the movement of U.S. naval and air power off the coast. It’s ended so far with the self-destruction of some of North Korea’s nuclear facilities and no more of the missile tests that had become common under Obama.

→ Most of our European allies in NATO have been weak and sometimes duplicitous on defense, refusing to live up to their promise on minimal military expenditures to help defend themselves from Russia. Trump again talked tough. Considering he had pulled out of the Paris climate accords and the Iran agreement, European leaders worry he could follow through on NATO threats. They have accordingly increased their defense spending by a combined $100 billion now so far — strengthening free countries against tyranny.

→ ISIS decapitated.

There are plenty more. But this hits the highlights. By all the evidence, it is unarguable, even by the Orange Man Bad crowd, that the world is better off now than two years ago.

I'm a liberal who lives in Canada, I accept your bet.

Nah because you don't matter.

You do know there are rich and powerful people in Canada who would love to privatize your healthcare system? I bet they are called the conservative party.

But just like a lot of people here didn't think Republicans would try to cut social security and medicare, make abortion illegal, deny global warming, they are seeing there is a huge difference between the parties.

The problem is not enough people vote. There is no difference or it seems that way because both parties are pandering to the rich not voters. If citizens showed up to vote, the politicians would care more.

And when the masses can be duped by the corporate media to vote GOP, what can Democrats do about it? It's not Democrats fault Gore lost. Or Hillary. Or Pelosi and Reed in the 2010 midterms.

Trust me, there is a huge difference between the parties. You don't know shit because you live in Canada.

So are you conservative or liberal?
