I don't know what is in Trump's heart but looking at his actions he has been the most pro life president we have ever had and that includes Reagan.

He's greedy and a fake.  That much is obvious.  He fires people who are experts and pretends to be the expert.

You're also calling any criticism of Trump TDS

 

Basically exactly what yourself and others criticized liberals for doing regarding Obama

That's not true. There are plenty of things over which Trump deserves criticism. Same thing with Obama. If you don't see the lopsided derangement Factor you are being willfully ignorant, or pretending to be so or stupid. And I don't think you're stupid.

It goes both ways in terms of willful ignorance from the root word ignore. So much evidence of lying, conning, dishonesty, lack of morals, etc. that gets excused or justified here. And so many unwarranted character attacks on any national figure, including some of our very best military commanders, who disagree with Trump. Those guys live a career of honesty, integrity and honor before all else. And then there is their polar opposite. That isn't DTDS, it's called the truth.

A christian supporting an amoral, adulterer piece of garbage that doesn't following any of Jesus's teaching. - That is hypocrisy.  I understand why you hate Mitch. He is standing by his faith, while you are wiping your ass with yours.

 

What's interesting is that you don't know that you are why people hate the modern Democrat. You're a childish, insulting piece of shit that is usually wrong but you seem to believe being aggressively wrong equates to being right.

A good read:

Romney's Harsh Trump Critique Shows Why He Lost To Obama In 2012

"Unmentioned by Romney in his anti-Trump screed, however, is the character of those in Congress and in the government itself that have used positions of privilege to both sabotage Trump's presidency and, ultimately, seek his ouster...

 

Doesn't the actual attempted subversion of Americans' democratic will expressed through the ballot box by the Democratic Party and their corrupt deep-stateallies — former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA chief John Brennan, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and oh so many others — reveal a far-more serious character problem?

Romney did have a few grudging compliments for Trump: "He was right to align U.S. corporate taxes with those of global competitors, to strip out excessive regulations, to crack down on China's unfair trade practices, to reform criminal justice and to appoint conservative judges."

Yes? In less than two years, Trump accomplished more than President Obama did in eight. And Obama's two signature policies, ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank, were both failures. Strangely, Romney can't bring himself to utter word one of criticism for our former chief executive, the most far-left president in our nation's history.

As a matter of record, we haven't always agreed with everything Trump does, or the way he does it. But that's not at issue here. What's at issue is a newly elected Republican senator has used a plainly anti-Trump newspaper to trash a sitting U.S. president. You might think Romney would wait until he himself had done something in the Senate...

We have little doubt that Romney is using this moment to declare himself the de facto senatorial leader of the Never-Trump wing of the Republican Party. But to what end?

In his ill-considered op-ed, he promises to "speak out against significant statements or actions (by Trump) that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions." In short, he'll join the other Trump-haters in his own party in dumping on Trump every time he opens his mouth or tweets something indelicate. Which, we admit, is a lot.

If we had to make a wild guess, it would be that this is a marker: Romney thinks he can run against a sitting president, Trump, in the primaries and unseat him. Then he'll get a second bite at the apple, without having to face the formidable Obama campaign.

We would say this to the new senator from Utah: You, and others like you in the GOP who promise conservatism but rarely deliver, are the big reason why Trump got elected in the first place. Americans were tired of empty suits at the top, and wanted someone who, however crude his manner, would act.

That's what the current impasse over the border wall is all about...

We have little doubt that most of the other Republicans who have presidential aspirations would have rolled over by now to the Democrats on the measly $5.6 billion Trump's asking to build the wall. After all, the thing GOP members seem to fear most is seeming "mean." Our border security should be paramount, yet it's always subordinated to craven politics.

This is one of the peculiar elements of the Republican Party. Whenever it's on the verge of major success, it forms a circular firing squad and fires on its own. It can't help itself. And the Democrats, after lauding Republicans for betraying their own principles, stand to the side and laugh.

Romney's a classic case. An admirable executive, philanthropist and businessman, he has been a mediocre politician. He seems not to understand that conservatism defines his party of choice, the Republican Party — just as today increasingly extreme leftism defines the Democratic Party.

One could consider his time as governor of Massachusetts as successful — for a Democrat. He signed "Romneycare" into law in the state, an early precursor of ObamaCare. He embraced cap-and-trade as a solution for global warming, and as president would have done far worse...

Romney's a Republican by registration, yes, but not much of a conservative.

Fifty-five years ago, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly wrote a self-published a book, "A Choice Not An Echo."  In it, she said the GOP's presidential candidates needed to stand for conservative ideas to win elections.

In 2016, that's exactly what happened. President Trump ran one of the most conservative campaigns in decades. Contrary to all the pundits' predictions, beat Hillary Clinton to become president.

Like him or not, Trump has been a promise-keeper. Even the Post admitted Trump kept more of his promises in just two years that Obama did in eight. Romney just provided Trump's worst enemies with more ammunition to sink his presidency. Quite a start to his senatorial career.

I'm not a democrat, but thanks. You just describe your war hero president. Perfect description of him. " a childish, insulting piece of shit that is usually wrong but you seem to believe being aggressively wrong equates to being right. "

I don't know how many times I have to tell you I have no allegiance to Trump and whether he's President or not or even alive or dead don't make a god damn bit of difference to me; but I do know that you keep failing to get it. 

 

And yes you are a Democrat and if you say you're not you're also a lying childish insulting piece of shit. Because all you do is honk the Democratic position day in and day out.

Political Hay

Mitt Romney: Swamp Creature

A virtue signaling column from a failed presidential nominee.

"The only person who is damaged by this Mitt Romney Op-Ed is — Mitt Romney.

It is a reminder of exactly why he should never have been nominated for president in the first place — not to mention it is a reminder of exactly why he lost to Barack Obama. And why Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton, something Romney could never have done."

Sorry Beavis, you don't get to decide if I'm a democrat. You are childish insulting lying piece of shit, so you have to be TDIMS. Also being a whiny little bitch checks a few more boxes for being a TDIMS. So you can say over and over again your don't support Cheetos Jesus, but you sure act like him.

we derided obaMao because of what he DID. I gave him a chance early on.

"most transparent admin" FARCE AND LIE

"supported Real Marriage" LIE DID THE OPPOSITE

"supported 2nd Amendment" LIE DID THE OPPOSITE

"said he'd cut our debt in half by end of his first term" LIE DID THE OPPOSITE

If you like your health-care plan, you can keep it”

This memorable promise by Obama backfired on him in 2013 when the Affordable Care Act went into effect and at least 2 million Americans started receiving cancellation notices. As we explained, part of the reason for so many cancellations is because of an unusually early (March 23, 2010) cutoff date for grandfathering plans — and because of tight regulations written by the administration. So the uproar could be pinned directly on the administration’s own actions.'

“The day after Benghazi happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism”

Obama did refer to an “act of terror” in the immediate aftermath of the 2012 Benghazi attacks, but in vague terms, wrapped in a patriotic fervor. He never affirmatively stated that the American ambassador died because of an “act of terror.” Then, over a period of two weeks, given three opportunities in interviews to affirmatively agree that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack, the president obfuscated or ducked the question. So this was a case of taking revisionist history too far for political reasons.

 

“I didn’t call the Islamic State a ‘JV’ team”

In 2014, Obama repeated a claim, crafted by the White House communications team, that he was not “specifically” referring to the Islamic State terror group when he dismissed the militants who had taken over Fallujah as a “JV squad.” But The Fact Checker obtained the previously unreleased transcript of the president’s interview with the New Yorker, and it’s clear that’s who the president was referencing.

there's more - but those are glaring promises and statements that just defy acceptance by anyone

who cares about our country.

and TexAg wants to whine "LiAR" blah blah blah blah when Pres Trump

is KEEPING his promises.

The wall - is a promise he's working on. The left is trying to STOP that promise.

even when Pres Trump fibs - he keeps his promises.

"promised to move our embassy to Jerusalem" KEPT PROMISE

"promised to appoint Originalists to supreme court" KEPT PROMISE

"promised to impose a travel ban" KEPT PROMISE

"pledged conservative judges to fed appeal courts" KEPT PROMISE

"promised to get out of TPP" KEP PROMISE

"promised to withdraw from Paris Accord" KEPT PROMISE

But whether one agrees or disagrees is not the point. When Trump says he will do something, you can take it to the bank. Yes, he takes liberties with the truth. But unlike his predecessor, he did not pass his signature legislative achievement on the basis of a lie (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”) — which is clearly worse than falsely bragging that your tax cut is the biggest ever.

The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping.

HEll, even the Chicago Tribune commentary admits that.

so far, Tex, your whining about Pres Trump is a farce - except he isn't a perfect character - he stretches truths, says stuff that isn't true, whatever.

   I go by what a president DOES. And Pres Trump, in what is has DONE AND IS DOING - ranks as one of the best presidents we've ever had in recent years in keeping his promises.

so, you should stick a cork in it - the screaming about how bad a president Trump is is just ignorant, and disingenuous.

Does? 2 years and $2Trillion more in debt. Yeah, really great for a "talented" businessman who has driven multiple investments into the ground. Let's just pay it off with the Trump USA Casino and then bankrupt it. That'll work. And I ain't payin for a damn Mexican wall because he promised they would.

And I didn't even touch all the damage he's done to our alliances while kissing his BBF Putin.

    A. PRes Trump never promised to cut our debt in half by the end of his first term. That would have been a LIE like your Obamao commie perpeturated.

    B. Yes, Trump has failed at times - but not as PRESIDENT. We are TALKING ABOUT PRES TRUMP'S PROMISES KEPT, which your obamao  commie has none. Yeah, obamao was "going to close Gitmo". LIED,FAILED.

    C. Why steal the casino, unless you are a fidel castro fan? a communist at heart? You favor the American gov to steal businesses that make a lot of money to do your personal interest bidding? go stick a cork in it, dude.

   D. BTW, why don't you want a wall? like every other socialist leaning liberal "democrat"..... you want those illegals coming in because they will forever vote democratic, at least 2/3 of them, per some study I read.

  E. The damage he's done to our alliances?  Some are angry he didn't lean America over to let the eu and UN types screw America over for billions of trillions over more years. STFU with your ignorance. I thought you were better than that. Don't look now, but a lot of French favor TRUMP over Macron idiot weinie. and Brazil is going way back towards where we are now, in some major ways.

  F. Want me to post the picture of your hillary and her happy "RESET" button with the russians? Or post, again, your Obamao commie telling the russians "after the election, I'll have more leeway" my paraphrase.

  G. Gee, you got nothin. I showed you Pres Trump's promises KEPT. And I showed you some of your ObaMao Commie's intentionally broken farce promises. He violated them and did the opposite of what he said he would.

  H. "H" is for it must be Hell to be as ignorantly bigoted as you. but, thankfully, you are not anything as low and stench-ridden as a woodpecker.

sorry, but you don't have any legit reasons for saying anything like that. PAR FOR THE EMOTIONAL KNEE JERK COURSE>

where was YOUR "moral compass" during all the scandals, lies and broken promises by your leftwing incompetent pieces of garbage' ObaMao commie and Higgardly socialist? eh? "gone like a freight train..."

Are you ready to stop emotionally belching and sing the "I'm Texag and I'm so sorry" song, for falsely claiming I called

you a coward?

probably not. moral compass indeed.

Just more emotional knee jerkie.

cal is now on ignore because I got tired of increasing character assassination on myself and anyone else who disagrees or says anything bad about Der Orange Fuhrer. Someone can clue me in when he starts to become the Christian he professes to be and stops denigrating other posters. And no I did not read any responses of his between this one and my one above that has something he said between them. There is no defense for defamation of character of people you don't even know.
