DeNiro at the Tonys

...brain-damaged, low-IQ individual? That’s all the reply he has to the comments?? Really? The summit talks must have exhausted him. He should have simply continued to ignore what was said. 

Sigh.


And does he not know that boxing in movies is not real? 


DeNiro misses the point.   Trump is the result of our F**ked up system and he is getting mad at the symptom, not the problem.

As I recall the media of which u speak, terp, was complicit in getting this moron elected, with round the clock free air time.

He was good for the bottom line. 


Obama took a lot of  heat trying to come up with a way so that every American had healthcare.  Trump is trying to only have healthcare for the rich.  

Obama wanted to fix medicare and social security.  Trump wants to destory. 

Obama worked to reduce the deficit.  Trump has increased it.  

The list goes on and on.  some might have disagreed with Obama or not liked him for whatever reason, but I never saw him do anything to intentionally harm the country.  

And after years of criticizing the Iran Treaty which was done with the cooperation of our allies, Trump pulled out and now makes a weak agreement with N. Korea.  Trump called the Iran Treaty the worst agreement ever.  Well now Trump has topped Obama with what is really the worst agreement ever.  


Trump deserves all the criticism he gets.



The debt doubled under Obama.

President Trump could host Jesus at the second coming and still receive the same vitriol and hate.

 Silly. Trump would never do that. He'd be afraid of being upstaged.

And if by mistake he did so and JC did upstage him, he'd attack him in a Tweet the following day.

 And that was due to the two unfunded wars his predecessor initiated, but if you remember Obama was criticized for blaming GWB.

 Amen.


Dick Cheney said deficits don't matter.

In any event considering all the evil things this administration is doing, the worst example being taking children form their parents, I, for one, will not spend much time worrying about the Federal Debt.

Ok, I hear you but I think there’s an explanation.  The hate directed at Trump was because of his behavior over which he has 100% control. The vitriol Obama was subjected to was because.... what?  What exactly did he do?  Especially before he was even sworn in?   

 One of the principal reasons Trump is President was the demonization of Hillary Clinton. This included not only the chanting of "Lock her up" but the allegation that she was linked to a peadophile ring operating in a pizza place.

If that worked with Hillary Clinton why shouldn't Trump's opponents use the same tactic against Trump?



Trumpitty Trump Trump Trumperrific.

 I saw your troll and raised you a 4 year old. 


I'm not trolling anyone.  The idea that Obama relieved our debt problems is counterfactual.  Grow up and stop blaming others for your own cognitive dissonance.


but it's one of those sets of facts that is devoid of context.  The biggest deficit the federal government ran during Obama's time in office was FY 2009, which was actually Bush's last budget.  By the time Obama had left office the deficits had been cut by more than half from that 2009 nadir.


and thanks to the GOP tax cuts, deficits are projected to increase by half over Obama's last budget.

As someone who didn't like Obama and does not like Trump: the thought that Obama put up w/ a higher level of hostility Trump has is really mind boggling. 
It's funny.  People say Trump is a fascist, Hitler, a dictator.  But you have people on shows saying all kinds of things.  Take Real Time for example. This show has featured ways of impeaching Trump from the get go.  They went from Russia right to Stormy Daniels as ways to impeach.  Would Hitler have put up with that?
Every major newspaper, cable news(with the exception of Fox), Hollywood, and a good chunk of social media is openly hostile to this president.  There were pockets that were hostile to Obama, but nothing like this.

To equate the reasons that Trump receives vitriol (99%of which can be meticulously and logically explained and would seem reasonable to any moral person) to the vitriol Obama suffered from - none of which could be explained - 


is ludicrous.

 No one said he "relieved" our debt problems - and if he is to be faulted at all it's for not spending ENOUGH to get us out of the recession.

But you know all that.

And your point is out of context as well.

  •  If Obama wanted to reduce the deficit, he failed miserably.  The debt just about doubled. In other words,  he ran up the debt almost as much as all of his predecessors put together
  •  If he wanted to bring peace to the world, he failed miserably. He made drone bombing poor countries a norm and completely screwed up Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc.  Many poor people around the globe are dead because of his policies
  • If Obama wanted to make Medicare and Social Security more solvent, he failed miserably(and remember he cut the taxes that contributed to this solvency)
  • If Obama wanted to increase constitutional protections of the American Citizen he failed miserably.  
  • If Obama wanted to make government more transparent he failed miserably
  • If Obama wanted to help entrepreneurs he failed miserably and his rhetoric was pretty bad on this one as well "You didn't build that!"
  • If Obama wanted set precedents to reign in the power of future presidents like Trump he failed miserably

And I'm not defending Trump here.  But anyone who thinks that there's nothing reasonable to complain about Obama needs to look at the facts.
