Seems that Trump's plan for the first 100 days pursuing 10 - no, - make that 11 different lawsuits against women he has assaulted, and trying to get Hillary locked up. Good to know he has America's interests front and center.

This is a persona that appeals greatly to millions of Americans.
They love his vengeful vindictiveness. Fuck the people who lent me money. Fuck the students who should have known better. Fuck anyone who does not worship my repulsive shtick.
The bigger an asshole he appears to most the more some like him.
A deep sickness in the American psyche.

The Orange Goblin King summons his goblin hordes. This election is taking a turn for the grotesque that is just unimaginable. And I thought Palin was bad. If you listen carefully, you can hear Cthulhu chuckling.

Has he been convicted of 11 assaults?
The Democrats not unlike the earlier Republican administrations have failed in their foreign policies, causing trillions of dollars in debts, while Obama even more so than his previous administrations have borrowed their way out of problems. At the moment the US$ debt does not seem to be a recognizable problem but if it goes on like that, in a few years there could be a crisis.
It seems none of the major parties (none of whom have over 50% support) are simply engaged in attacking each other rather than focusing on presenting an intellectual case.
Flunk. I see what you're doing here. What's curious is why you would bother. We know you like Trump. We know you don't like Hillary. It's bizarre that you'd keep up the tired "they're both equally bad" shore story whenever someone points out how much of an empty sack Donald really is.
Your post also doesn't logically follow the post you quoted. Hint: it's about a Presidential candidate planning to spend his first days in office pursuing petty vengence on his haters. Is your non-answer post supposed to divert attention or something? lol

When Bush sprung his massive tax cuts on us, tax cuts that went to the 1%, 450 top economists, including 10 Nobel laureates to us that this would not do what Bush said these tax cuts would do for us, and would bury us in debt. And Bush and the GOP congress ignored them, and it was so, The OBM tells us that Bush's massive debts, doubling the national debt in 8 years, could point to his tax cuts for 30% of the total. Obama want to end these tax cuts, but the GOP House and Senate wanted to make these tax cuts permanent. The best Obama could do was get a 6% reduction. Again, the OBM told us 24% of our deficits came from these tax cuts. With a Congress like that, it is hard to blame Obama. And of course bailing out America after the great recession cost trillions. Not Obama's fault.
When it comes to massive deficits, the GOP is a champ. And as long as the GOP controls Congress, the deficits will continue, because, GOP.
Don't try to blame this on Obama alone. 20 years of GOP incompetence and America still doesn't get it and votes Republican. I think I see our problem.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economists'_statement_opposing_the_Bush_tax_cuts
The Economists' statement opposing the Bush tax cuts was a statement signed by roughly 450 economists, including ten of the twenty-four American Nobel Prize laureates alive at the time, in February 2003 who urged the U.S. President George W. Bush not to enact the 2003 tax cuts; seeking and sought to gather public support for the position. The statement was printed as a full-page ad in The New York Times and released to the public through the Economic Policy Institute. According to the statement, the 450 plus economists who signed the statement believe that the 2003 Bush tax cuts will increase inequality and the budget deficit, decreasing the ability of the U.S. government to fund essential services, while failing to produce economic growth.[1][2]
In rebuttal, 250 plus economists who supported the tax plan wrote that the new plan would "create more employment, economic growth, and opportunities for all Americans."

The problem is Americans don't learn from Republican mistakes.

People talk about debt but do nothing. It's a non issue, just another political football, like Trump's proposed first 100 days, entertainment only.

It's a US citizen's right to sue. His lawyers can do that if he won the election. Just like anyone else who sues, he can still continue his day job. I simply pointing out the elephant in the room where the challenge is to pick out the least worst of the candidates.
Even the Natural Law Party would have been a better choice since what you see is what you get. Gets funnier as it goes along.

A Presidential candidate plans to spend his first days in office attacking his perceived enemies. This, to you, is just another thing in a nasty election?
Oh, wait. That totally sounds like someone else, a different orange guy. LOLZ. Like Donald, the cult of scientology operates as its founder did, with its ideology and efforts focused on dealing with "enemies" who slight them or criticize them or offer anything other than the highest respect these egomaniacs think they deserve.
Correction: The cult's ideology and efforts are primarily focused on making money and more money, and then on eliminating enemies. No wonder so many scientologists support Donald. And why wouldn't they? lol

Now Trump is a Scientologist instead of being a Klansman? Or is he both. It doesn't detract from the US Laws (silly as they are in some cases) which allows someone to sue. Perhaps he would be better at going after the sources which suddenly came forward. Sounds like the parties are attacking each other and not their arguments where Yogic Flying suddenly became appealing.

After that, up goes the debt to fund tax cuts.
Oh, no. Donald Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about the cult. That's not what I said and the rest of your reply again seems to be a response to an entirely different post from mine. Try to stay on topic, man.
No, I'm saying it's clear to me why so many scientologists would support Donald Trump. He's the embodiment of cult ideology: make money, destroy enemies. Oh, and lots of puffed-up bullshit PR. Naturally a man like this would easily gain support of scientologists.

That is your right of free expression but my point was on the uselessness of the candidates. Indeed all these witnesses turning up against Trump (and previously against Bill Clinton) suggest that elimination of one's 'enemies' are on the agenda of both candidates.

The Democrats and Republicians enacting the opposite
BORROW MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE NOT PRODUCE SO AS TO BORROW MORE MONEY
Welcome to the US debt which cannot last for ever while it sky rockets at US$3,600 per second. Obama has even beaten Bush on this. What a mucking fuddle they made of the US debt.

I thought that you were a Trump supporter? Trump's plan would create a higher deficit than HRC's plan.

Most of Obama's deficits were STILL accumulated because of Bush's choices. Wars, recessions and tax cuts don't disappear overnight, especially with Republicans in congress writing the budgets.
Besides, the USD is quite strong right now with no signs of slipping. Maybe economic specialists around the world know something about the US economy and fiscal policy that you don't.

They're certainly not mutually exclusive. People who are drawn to stupid shit are generally not even aware of the contradictions that arise between the different sets of stupid shit to which they subscribe. As you have vividly demonstrated...

I referred to both of them. Maybe Trumps plans may well result in exceeding Obama-Debt, especially if he decided to put boots on the ground in the Middle East (at least officially so).

Don't be such a Drama Queen. Clearly I didn't raise the topic but certainly Trump was perceived as being fascist, then a few posts ago of acting in the perceived way of L Ron Hubbard.
The present and past presidents have not made more money but borrowed more money to compensate for money pushed their over spending.
