  1. The pull-out of 2,000 troops in Syria is NOTHING compared to the 40,000 we have in the region and whom the 2,000 will join. But it's a step in the right direction towards a more disciplined (military) spending profile in the federal budget. Reducing the likelihood of war is GREAT for the budget. Getting NATO countries to pay for their OWN defense is a good thing, budgetarily. And Trump doesn't have to make any big cuts in the welfare state to get the domestic side to come down. Work requirements for able-bodied food stamps recipients has had a HUGE impact wherever it's been implemented. Don't want to call anybody a freeloader, but it seems that a sizable percentage of people can get along without food stamps, when there's work attached. Still a lot of work to do on multi-generation welfare way of life, where babies are brought into this world in a totally disrespectful way (into shithole family and community situations), when they're not killed before birth. Democrats want to address the shit that happens. Republicans want less bad shit to happen in the first place, and it starts with the family, and Democrat policies that destroy family.

  2.  @rizzorepulsive7704  : He was an early neocon, setting Indian tribes against each other and then destroying the one left standing. He was a remarkable amalgam of everything I like (ornery, anti-elite, brave, tough) and some of the things I don't like about America.

  3.  @itsokaytobeclownpilled5937  : Perhaps you haven't noticed the frenzied resistance he's met at every turn. I think Repubs AND Dems would've banded together to impeach him if he'd pulled out of Syria before this. You have to prepare the ground before you. And really, bad as illegal immigration is, IF we can control the border and return to SANE immigration policy, then the illegals who are already here just mainly need to be assimilated. The key is to stem the FLOW. If we do THAT, then we can absorb the people already here, no problem. Just turn off the welfare cornucopia. If you are here in this country, and aren't a citizen, and can't show means of support, then go back where you came from. We USED to require those attempting to enter our country to SHOW that they could support themselves, before allowing them in. What? You're just here for the Free Stuff? Sorry. We're fresh out. Turns out that we're gonna take care of our OWN, first. And that's the hole in the left's argument for open borders. You're leaving your own people in a bind just so you can virtue signal. If I were a poor person in the U.S., I wouldn't vote Democrat at ALL, until they pull their heads out of their asses on open borders. They swamp poorer communities with illegals and the crime that comes with them. It's destroying a sizable chunk of the butt-hurt-and-guilty-elitist-white-liberal coalition.

  4. Yes. And what seemed like odd passivity in spots may turn out to be just LETTING them win, and letting the world see what happened. I think if Trump had acted any sooner, we might have had a coup, already. He pushes, but not too hard. Then lets the Dems beat him on procedural grounds, and they can't help themselves. They twist the process all out of shape and no one stops them. But if you look across the Atlantic, you see how the center-left have done basically the same thing, and the people are rising up. "You don't represent us!" UK voted for BREXIT, but the bureaucrats in London and Brussels have fought it tooth and nail, by controlling the decision-making process at the top. The people are getting sick and tired of that shit, and are finally rising in rebellion. It's ugly stuff for the center-left in Europe, and any thinking person, watching the American Left use the exact same tactics to secure short-term WIN, knows this will lead to the shattering of the center-left coalition, and a rapid growth of support for the right and center-right.

  5. I like you, Tim, but if you think Obama > Trump, then the best I can say is you belong with Jimmy Dore and his crew. Definitely listenable on a wide range of issues, but fascist/socialist in your domestic-policy opinions. You guys create agencies to take on the fat cats, and the fat cats always take over those agencies, and the policies on the ground create negative feedback loops that worsen the problems you think you're solving.

  6. "Good" Progressives tend to oversimplify the human ecosystem, and miss the delicate checks and balances of free people dealing with free people that you upset by using force to achieve your ends. You're good at seeing the one factor in the equation you want to see improved, but you don't see (no one really can) all the variables that you affect directly and indirectly by using forcible taxation and redistribution, and severing those affected from responsibility for and authority over what affects them, directly. It's always Sally deciding how to spend John's money on Bill.

  7. And Arthur deciding that it was John's money we'd take and how much.

  8. And maybe if you'd left John alone, he'd've had a job for Bill that came with great fringe benefits, but the tax rate required a bigger profit margin than John could get from hiring Bill.

  9. And that ain't half the disincentives-to-good we build into our society by do-gooders using the wrong means to their virtuous ends.

  10. Fighting what's bad all the time leaves no time for fostering what's good.

  11. Want to get the wall built? Trump could do it with one tweet: "I've changed my mind on The Wall. We don't need one."
