I dont wanna see us become China or India in terms of the environment but the EPA is a motherfucker.
I worked in environmental drilling..we would basic go out for the epa and take soil samples and watch the EPA destroy mom and pop places via fines.
Where I work now we pay hundred of thousand of dollars in permits on our potable water system..which we've never had a problem with. If we have 1 accident in our waste water treatment system its game over for the company. 1 fish kill will be millions.
A town I lived in a few years back was a wasteland of broken down buildings/closed shops. Crime was terrible and there was no work or things for people to do.
Why? Cause being in a wooded area meant jumping through EPA hoops was to expensive.
Good luck starting a million dollar project or thinking of building a factory. If a speckle nosed toad was found you would be screwed. And since it bordered on a water shed area it was hsrd enough. No one would touch the place.
I'm all for reducing polution but the EPA really stifles growth and milks money out of people.

Is that why Trump is about to get a train station named after him in Israel?

I dont pay attention to..
Polls and/or "An anonymous source says.."
Both have shown to be full of shit.

First day of taking statistics in college, the professor told us not to believe statistics. You can make numbers tell any story you want to tell
I never said differently. Other poster cherry picked 1 poll, where as I linked to all the polls. Take whatever you want from it! Like you know, the cherry picked one he linked already lol.

Changed that for you.
It seems damn near impossible to speak well of anything regarding trump without cherry picking. SAD!

The worst President ever.
Embarrasses us as a country constantly.
Divides us as a nation.
Completely incompetent.
Criticized others for the same crap he has done.
Wake me up when he's actually busy being a President and not going on his 85th golf trip.
Weird how all the quiet ones come out of the woodwork now.

Regardless of how those numbers appear to you, that's still a significant likelihood for Trump.

Trump don't believe in global warming so we could see a polar meldown in less than three.

So far he's been doing a halfway decent job as pawn in cheif, like most that came before him. It's amazing how out of touch with reality all his foaming mouth fans and haters alike are...
But alas, we go through this every 4-8 years, and it just gets more and more facepalm worthy every time...

Im surprised that the majority of people in this thread are so hostile towards leftist values. One for all and all for one.
Loads of people say high taxes are bad, but really, isnt it more expensive to actually buy everything on the side rather than have the government take care of it with tax money? I.e healthcare, schools.

And this is why most conservatives shouldn't even bother posting.

Because they challenge your narrative?
Why do you just leak uncontrollable sewage onto every board you post on?

Higher taxes = smaller paycheck = more closer to poverty.
The government taking care of us sounds nice in theory but in reality, I rather be the one who decides how I spend my money. Not some politician who lives in a far away city deciding the fate of millions of people they never met.
Too much corruption and incompetence and greed in politics means government promises are always full of lies.
We in Germany are pretty left leaning, we have healthcare, education etc. HOWEVER If you are single you have to pay like 45% taxes. So you have barely money to spend. More and more people actually fall under the poverty status even though they are working.
Education is on an all time low (lowest in the Eu) which also has something to do with migration. We have school with over 90% migrants there is no real distribution going on. Studies have found out that a class with more than 5 migrants who can not speel properly German will drastically lower the education level as well.
For the first time after WW2 we The country did not make any depts they had a 100 Billion pllus and nothing is put into these issues at all.
So no I do not believe at all that the gov should regulate everything.
PS: We also have the worst Internet infrastructure in whole Europe.

Seriously, this. I'm all for socialism in theory, if we lived in fantasy happy land where our government was actually competent and cared about doing their job. But I live in the real world where my tax dollars go 12 guys sitting around staring at a pothole getting paid top dollar to cause even more traffic on a daily basis, while the mayor plays golf at the most expensive country club in the state...
I'd rather keep my money, thank you...

Just watched the Big Short yesterday. It's starting to feel like deja vu all over again.
2019 should be pretty interesting when people stop talking about causes and have to start dealing with effects.
But don't worry, they will get your money somehow. The "More money in my paycheck" is at best, temporary and will be taken through other means and at worst, complete fabrications for some people.
Doubt people will actually do the math after the fact though.

Trump and the GOP are doing a whole sale pillaging of America at this point. They're raping this country and its people and making it sound like its good for us and we should be happy. I'm saving money on this tax bill and I still think its an abomination that is going to result in the cutting of all sorts of vital services to support and will destroy many of the people that its supposed to help.
Call my hyperbolic if you want but I believe conservative politics is a cancer on this country and will kill more people than ISIS could ever hope to do.

Youll get the few crybabies coming in wondering why their safe space is ruined.
My man you might want to reread this thread as several are your posts are just spewing nonsense about SJW's and all that tired rhetoric without even needing any kind of prompting. It sounds like you're building your own safe space and then harping about how everyone wants their own and can't stand the heat.

Take all that extra money youll be saving and donate it.
I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with what I said but I don't need a tax break for that, I already donate both my time and money to a variety of causes.

He's right. You're a hostile shitposter. Your ass stinks and it's coming out of your draws, please wipe.
I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're on full attack mode against leftists. It's about time you sit back, put the glock down, and relax.

aka IMurRIVAL69
I do not know about this. These tweets define him also. this is a big reason he gets so much coverage and this makes him standout to other polticians IMO. He is not reall a good president but in Times of someonelike Erdogan being dictator I do not see him as a real threat but rather a reaction to the incompetence of the democratic party.
In the end he is just there. i guess I will change my opinion when he openly goes against Free speech, minorities etc. like Erdogan did.

Trust the process, bud.
He already has
No he has not. He went against Immigration which is vastly different. He also sees everyone as American who has an American pass.
Erdogan on the other hand abolished demonstations,and parades of the LGBT community. he goes harsh against kurdish people as well. If he could he would build concentration camps for them. Again so far Trump is pretty harmless in these regards.. Even Austria is doing more against minorities than Trump does.
Example: Every Immigrant who gets Asylum has to give the gov their money and phones as well.
He openly stated that NBC(and "the Networks") should have their licences challenged
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump...gests-nbc-license-should-be-challenged/169246
Wtf does that even mean?...bud.
But you dont live in the real world. I mean that sincerely.
There people who have dedicated their lives learning about health, poverty, economics, monetary policy, immigration, diplomacy...and many of those people work for the US government. You have an incredibly rudimentary understanding of the infrastructure in place that allows modern life to exists. You think of roadcrews when you think of a government worker...I think of civil engineers studying traffic impact, and the economic repercussions a new road will have on local homeowners and businesses.
