McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 They're obviously not coming home. Or denuclearizing. So if those were really his goals, he failed and then lied about it. Or maybe they weren't his goals, and he lied about that, too? What do y'all think it is? Did he fail or did he have objectives that he's not sharing with the American people? If the latter, what might those objectives be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't make it clear but I was referring to the comment about our MIAs coming home. But at least NK hasn't fired any more missiles and I think maybe there will be more talks.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 No missile launches since talks. That's progress IF it lasts. If he fires another one Trump's reaction will be interesting. I bet China is involved in all this behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a couple of years as a Senator after being a community organizer make a qualified candidate in your eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope you could come up with a reason that the last Pres or the one before that or the one before that is more qualified then the current occupant of the Whitehouse.

I expected more than name calling. No need to respond. I gave an honest answer. One hour of public service makes someone more qualified to hold public office than trump was, and probably still is. Obama was vastly more qualified and to suggest otherwise is ludicrous. trump never held a prior public office in his life. He is far and away the least qualified president in history. And he remains far less qualified than HRC, which was the point of my post that you initially responded to. You're in the smack talk forum. I suggest you thicken your skin. This was nothing.

This was nothing. “Lighten up Francis.” I’m pointing out that Pres Obama had no experience to be Pres. He was only the 2nd Senator in the last 60 years to be elected Pres and before that he was a community organizer. I don’t even know what that is. . HRC’s only real accomplishment was being Bill’s wife and running the “Bimbo Eruption” team during his Presidency before she got elected as a carpet bagger in the 2nd most DemocRATic state in the US. The most qualified person for the Presidency in the last 50 years was George HW Bush. They called him the resume President because of all the high Government offices he held and he turned out not to be a very good one. Being a good Pres is a lot about being a good leader and giving your constituents the right vision. I know you don’t like Pres Trump but I believe he has given his constituents everything he promised so far and they seem to be happy with him. Also, he has caused you guys on the left to become “UNHINGED.” I’ll go back to not posting again and laughing at all of this foolishness. Have a good day.

No one has experience at being president the first time they run for office. Obama was not the most experienced candidate, but at least his background better prepared him for the job - even the community organizing. He lectured on Constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He ran for and was elected Senator of Illinois. He's an eloquent speaker which reflects an intellect to match. Trump was born rich and handed a $150 million grubstake. And I suspect he would be richer than he is today if he has simply invested it in the market. His history reveals a couple of good decisions and a host of bad ones. He has a history of mistreating everyone he comes in contact with. He declared bankruptcy 6 times (he lied when he said only 4) which harmed many innocent people. Welshing on agreements and daring people to sue him was a standard business practice (as taught to him by the scoundrel, immoral lawyer, Roy Cohen. He has been involved in 3,500 lawsuits, unprecedented for a presidential nominee. All of this is evidences his major disqualification - he's a narcissistic psychopath. That's exactly why his daily behavior is so bizarre. It's what makes him dangerous for the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, even a relatively short career in public service would make a person far more qualified than trump. And I do mean that in the present tense. He still has less than 2 years in public service under his belt. Yet he's representing our nation and democracy in private meetings with Putin. It's insane.

Yeah, I just didn't bother to look them up. The quick and dirty estimate I use involves the "rule of 72". The number of years it takes your money to double is 72 divided by the return rate. I don't know what the integrated interest rate would be for the market over the period, but I am pretty sure that 50 or so years would give you a lot of "doublings". Start with $150 million and it's a pretty safe assumption, even using Trump's net worth estimates (which I think he is concealing). Unfortunately, many of us "regular folks" had to start with a negative number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
