America: Trump is the worst president ever.

What the bloody hell does that even mean? If it's when everyone stops asking about Epstein, we'll be in Iran longer than Afghanistan.
I'll leave you with this thought: The most unhappy people I've ever met are rigid ideologues. The world doesn't present a neat, clean choice on most days. Compromise isn't a dirty word, especially if you can get 80% of what you want today and maybe the rest tomorrow.
I grew up with him and Mad Magazine. Still the standard for satire.
Here's a quick search response that I beleive supports exactly what I've been saying about geopolitical pressures: 'The Carter administration provided tacit diplomatic and covert support to the Khmer Rouge after they were ousted from power in '79, to counter Vietnamese and Soviet influence.'
Ooookay...
Ah, the old 'do your own research'. As I indicated, I only wanted evidence - if it's out there and credible, then I will concede. To a point. Because the other part of my claim was that IF that had been the case, then he acted upon advice that, at the time, fit the need. But "fascist"? Never.
Why are you so rigid that virtually no other human being on the planet meets your standards? You must be miserable. And I asked for evidence that Carter propped up Pol Pot.
"Fascism"? Please. Okay, describe your 'perfect' president.
I suppose most red staters don't need to worry about college loans anyway.
Look, Donald Trump said it himself - when everyone votes, Republicans lose. So, the only way to stay in power (and out of prison) is to trim away as many votes as possible. Sure, they'll lose some Republicans; but they're betting that more Democrats will be affected by the new rules.
So, he did what previous presidents have done based on the information given to him at the time and geopolitical politics. Should we vote for only those who fulfill our personal standards of perfection? Or perhaps recognize that we live in a complicated world?
So, perfection is the standard? I do not, for one second, believe he "propped up" Pol Pot. Evidence, please. And I don't mean some blogger or conspiracy theorist. If I'm wrong, then obviously it was a mistake or miscalculation. Fine. Let's produce a list of 'perfect' presidents.
I don't care for Christians - or religious people in general - but I admire Jimmy Carter immensely. Grew up in Plains, GA. Married his sweetheart from youth; served in the Navy; helped the poor after the White House - which never went to his head. Look in Webster's under "Good Man".
What's interesting is that "genetics" is a scientific reference. I guess science is good when it says what you like. However, in this case I'm positive that it's been misinterpreted.
"Earned" is an interesting statement.
There will be no regime change - at least in terms of a Muslim theocracy - and some likely radicalization. I'm no sociologist, but I can't imagine bombing a girls' school into oblivion helps the US in any way.
I like Clyburn but it's time for fresh blood.
Sometimes, I run across something that makes me wonder if ridding myself of religion was the right call. This isn't one of those times.
I was born in the UK of military parents under a different name because I was later adopted. My birth certificate discrepancy even delayed my Social Security application. Luckily, I had my adoption papers and an amended certificate. Many people aren't that fortunate. This is meant to suppress votes.
Let him break out the tan suit and see what happens.
"Visionary"? Yea, we're being punked.
Anyone else wondering when the Mother Ship is coming back for Rick Scott?
"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich."
I really don't want to prove my adopted name change or that my UK birth certificate to American parents is legit. And I'm positive that married women - Democrat or Republican - aren't thrilled at the prospect of another bureaucratic hurdle to vote. This monstrosity of a bill needs to be euthanized.
We had a deal for monitoring Iran's uranium centrifuge sites that included unannounced visits by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors. Trump didn't like it because Obama's name was on it. Now, we have no monitoring and radical mullahs looking for revenge. Nice work, fuckwit.
I've lost all hope for this country. Stick a fork in us.
Potty training at knife point can have repercussions in later life.

Now, I really want to see it myself. I'll take a crucifix and garlic to be safe.
