Isn't Jones on his 2nd youtube strike? He cant do anything bad for 90 days. So don't expect him to do anything crazy for a while

There is a simple solution to that.

Make the video you want to make, put the YouTube friendly stuff first, the other stuff that might get you in trouble at the end. The whole video is called the extended version. Post up the YouTube friendly version on YouTube, with links to the extended version to his own site or maybe open up a Patreon (if they allow that type of stuff), then with Patreon, make a few bucks on top of that. They might know this already and enjoy getting the strikes to use as promotion, how the platforms are treating them unfairly, socialist agenda, all that nonsense, when they just knowingly break the rules.

I still think it's funny he had to admit in court during his divorce proceedings that he was just playing a role.

Nancy Pelosi 2020?

She is going nowhere, just knows how to keep duping and bilking her followers.

"Associated Press reporters counted about 100 people at the event in Cheyenne, Wyo., more than 400 at the event in Dover, Del. and more than 135 people at the event in Atlanta, Ga. Organizers of the event in Augusta, Maine told the Associated Press about 800 people showed up there."

Low numbers. Plus, they already have gun rights, it's called the 2nd Amendment. Maybe, one of the reasons for the low turnouts. I'm going to march for my right to drink soda. Since, some are trying to tax it to death, make smaller cans etc. Or, just might stay home and drink a Surge, since I can still actually drink soda.

True: “They blame everything except the sole responsible party, the person involved in the action."

Common sense, decency, mutual respect and most of all Personal Responsibility seems to be at about the lowest level in American culture I have seen in my entire lifetime. We just need more laws, regulations, jails, penalties, to protect us from the idiocy. Happy to be looking from outside while I am circling the drain, as the next 20 years is going to really get whacky.

IS Donald J. Trump the president for life if they change term limits from 2 terms to no term limit?

 

[johname]

He would still have to be reelected

 

[Daniel Owens]

Would he be reelected multiple times like even 5 more times?

 

[johname]

No he will be a one termer unless something really goes well in his favor.

 

[Daniel Owens]

Is the economy good enough create a Trump win in 2020?

 

[johname]

It would have to continue. Feels people wont vote because of the DOW in 2020

 

[Daniel Owens]

Is Trump better than Obama?

 

[johname]

No they are different

Is Trump better than Obama?

Yes. We have more freedom with Donald Trump. He's a bit self obsessed but he's not using the IRS to harass political opponents or forcing retired Catholic Nuns to buy insurance coverage for abortions and birth control.

Trump's letting generals make war strategy instead of micromanaging airstrikes and letting frat boys order murders by drone.

ISIS was energized and grew rapidly because President Obama didn't understand the threat and withdrew troops as they gained power.

President Trump has persecuted a focused war and ISIS has lost almost all of their territory.

--

On the other hand, liberal media, hollywood and liberals in congress who yawned when President Obama signed unconstitutional executive orders are perpetually outraged over how many scoops of ice cream President trump is served.

 

[mr-x]

Is the economy good enough create a Trump win in 2020?

That depends. In 2016 the democrats fixed their primary so a corrupt women could run for president b/c it was her turn.

Most of the democrat candidates lining up to run are as hostile to Christians and the constitution as she was.

There are a couple of GOP candidates that hate Trump and may try to run as a spoiler on a third party ticket to take some support from President Trump.

5 Comey tweets today from Trump. He can't stand Comey being a true Patriot and telling the truth about him.

Is Trump better than Obama?

No sane person would think that, hence Trump's historically low numbers. Just saw this (see chart below), Trump is near or at the very bottom. Even today, showing where his priorities are at. Probably will go down as one of the worst, most corrupt ever when it's all said and done:

Just hit 50% in the Rasmussen Poll, much higher than President Obama at same point. With all of the phony stories and Fake News, it’s hard to believe! Thank you America, we are doing Great Things.
Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago

And once the economy starts to go, whoever is left will start to abandon him as well. He didn't learn his lessons from his private life when he went on a spending spree and it all crashed down around him.

We surveyed presidential politics experts to sketch out a first draft of Trump’s place in presidential history.

No sane "liberal" would think that. Because POLLS dadgummit!!

Who do you think the best President was, or top 3? Or just your favorite? I'll give you mine, I think for me I would put Lincoln at 1. Yours?

Side note, Hillary was never President.

World changing, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan.

In that order.

Then Jefferson and Madison, giants of their time.

 

[mr-x]

President Trump is trailing Barack Obama in average popularity by less then eight points ( real clear politics )

President Obama was a media darling despite being unable to compromise had accomplished nothing. ( elections have consequences, if they bring a knife, you bring a gun )

President Trump, is reviled by liberal media, under investigation by a corrupt bureaucracy has accomplished more than Obama did in four years.

 

[JB Lions]

World changing, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan.

In that order.

Then Jefferson and Madison, giants of their time.

Good picks.

Ok from chart above:

Washington - 3, 2, 1
Lincoln - 1, 1, 2
Jefferson - 5, 5, 6
Reagan - 14, 7, 5
.............
Trump - 44, 43, 40

So the people you felt were the best Presidents, so did Dem, Repub, Independent scholars. So you kind of just verified the chart. We'll see, but right now, Trump is near or at the bottom.

President Trump is trailing Barack Obama in average popularity by less then eight points ( real clear politics )

That's a lot.

Comparing popularity between different centuries / circumstances is meaningless. Presidents more popular after they leave office.

Network media and many newspapers talked about Reagan like they talk about Trump. Reagan not only helped liberate East Germany, he was a key player in helping Poland.

Despite Iran-Contra debacle, in which he took charge and fired the special council investigating himself.

But 45 panders to despots while trashing allies so not sure what your point is ?

My point is, the media is biased towards a progressive world view and will overlook serious defects if you have the the same progressive world view.

If not, then even the amount of ice cream you have for desert will be criticized.
