I do believe he saved the banks ,and the Auto industry , and was handed a war .. Not saying he was perfect But he did put regulations on the banks , the company's polluting the water .. Trump deregulated all that .. Can't argue with a trump supporter .. he can do no wrong .. I just don't understand it ..

the auto industry also paid all the money back .. Forgot to ask you how you made out with the fire ?
The fire is still going, but they can handle the claims and assistance at the regional level, and no longer need the assistance of our National Deployment Team. This was one of the worst deployments, lots of internal issues. Im glad to be home and looking forward to going east or southeast, where good folks know how to handle a disaster.

No. Nearest local fire is 30 mins away. I was up 600 miles away helping the Red Cross with the Carr Fire.

I think that most presidents have received both blame & credit for things that happened because of previous administrations. From what I understand, Bush Jr. did his best to try to make Obama's transition smooth. I will never forget the shellshocked look on Obama's face after he left the White House after his pre-inauguration briefing with Bush. In some ways, there was more pressure on him than past presidents because he was the first black president. It came with praise he didn't earn just because of his race, but it also came with criticism he didn't deserve just because of his race. There was some deserved criticism as well, but I don't think he was as horrible as conservatives claimed. I also don't think that Bush Jr. was as horrible as people claimed. IMO, Jimmy Carter was far worse but he knew how to play the media & pretend to be a good person for the public to gain praise. We still have not recovered from the damage he did to the country.
As for Trump, they just need to ban him from Twitter for his constant violations of their TOS so he won't be able to cause such panic from whatever crap he decides to spew out at 3am. Of course, there are some conservatives who should be banned for their violations as well.
Havasu, I really appreciate that you work with the Red Cross to help people in these emergencies. You're a good man. We may disagree on politics, but people like you have kept me from completely giving up on humanity. LOL.
Love the thing about dogs being insulted about Omarosa. So many people were all "It's racist!" and I was thinking it was more that he probably wanted to use another word, but knew he'd get in more trouble for it. Plus he's called white people dogs in the past.

I don't do the Red Cross for any applause. I guess it just allows me to live that fast paced cop type of stuff. Once it is in your blood, it never leaves.
As far as the political spectrum, I agree, I wish someone would chop off Trump's thumbs and take that damn phone away from him. I also wish folks would allow him to try some his new ideas, but the Dems have stuck their heels in the ground and will not budge, so basically we have a big ol' stalemate. In my opinion, and as I personally wrote to my congresswoman judy chu (purposefully not capitalized!) and told her that if she refused to cooperate with the sitting president, she needs to be terminated and get someone in there that deserves my money. By the way, her response to me was if the prez was a Dem, she would work for him, but flatly refuses to work with any Repub. Are we that polarized that we can no longer work together to solve problems? I guess we are screwed.
As far as Obama and the look on his face once Bush left office is easily explained. That was the very first job he ever held. Yes, he was mentored by his brotherhood and had his hand held all the way through his upbringing. He did not bring one item to the table, and was spoon fed everything he came up with.

The Rep's did the same thing to Obama.. That Turtle head Mc conal said from the first day his job was to make Obama fail..
Yes we are that polarized.. Trumps ideas are ripping the fabric of what this country is made of .. He in my opinion is not fit for office ..
I respect your opinion to support him.. Just don't understand it ..

The problem with invading other countries is that it creates a vacuum, and once we enter, we owe it to the country to stabilize it before we leave. It's a double edge sword. We just cant hit then get, because all the good people will become decimated. I'm glad i didnt have to shoulder that decision.
We went into Afghanistan to fight people who kicked the Russian's ass. Not too bright.
Rusty, i have to agree with you there. Seems some good diplomacy may have been a better solution.
They park at a gas station here and walk over to Walmart with their "boohoo" signs.
Sounds better every day.
