Beg your pardon?

when gas goes up he will blame the dems and Obama 

Nah.  Then, the gas prices will be a more complex system of fluctuation.

In other words, he'll actually be right then.

Criminal justice reform legislation passing, supported by the Donald.

Guess you missed it because your main stream media would never report anything that show blacks supporting Trump’s work product.

Ah, I didn't realized you'd switched topics so suddenly.  I thought this was somehow still in reference to gas prices.

Also, CNN's Van Jones went on live to extol Congress and the president for it, so that last statement doesn't appear to be accurate.

Well then it must be the right legislation.

And now on to the spending bill and border/national security.  Glad Donald is sticking to his guns today; hopefully The People will actually win, instead of The Swamp..

Why, because it's bipartisan?  Or because Van Jones had an ever-so-brief hard-on for Trump for it?

Fuck CNN.  They're as bad as the rest.  It's the right legislation because it increases liberty for 'we the people'.

Lets not call the bump stock ban "legislation".  Wasnt that done by executive order?

Ah, good.  The executive order rears its ugly head, again.

7k out soon. This is Trump's war now. If Afghanistan falls, it is in him now. 

The Syrian removal is more execution than anything. We are just leaving our allies high and dry there. The Kurds are fucked. Turkey is going to wipe them out now.

Also, it is a debate on whether ISIS is actually gone or not. I've read some well respected terrorism experts say this has vibes of the pullout in sections in Iraq that allowed ISIS to ultimately form some years ago. 

I think the bigger deal is process and how Trump doesn't give a shit about allies or strategic thought.  That is most likely why Mattis decided to leave. 

I am so Done with dealing with Afghanistan.  Basically my whole life ee have been over there.  We arent getting anywhere.  If we leave and take our money with us I don't see a problem with it.

Was thinking the same thing.

So with Mattis and General Kelly out the door...McMaster and Gary Cohn long gone all the adults have left. 

And Trump - credit where it is due- realizes he blew it appointing Powell to the Fed. 

2019 is gonna be a wild ride.

Well, he's right in a general sort of way.

Where I disagree with him is that only one side needs to "get a grip" and to stop empty promises. There would never be an ex-dem or ex-pub if both sides weren't equally guilty of everything.

What the hell happened to Mexico paying for the wall?  Wasn't that his entire mantra for about 2 years on the campaign trail?  

Is there actually any evidence that a border wall will take care of all these supposed "bad ombres" currently pouring into our country?  Call me crazy, but is it even imaginable that Ricardo the Rapist and Diaz the Drug Dealer will find other ways in?  I mean these guys are apparently so raging to get in and harm our women and children, and there are so many of them.  Do we actually think a wall is going to keep them out?  That wall in China turned out to be a bust.
