Why Obama Has Failed to Close Guantánamo

 

[EndDomination]

American politics has always been a pipe dream for the everyday man, nothing knew...No different than Obama selling black folk pipe dreams or Reagan in the 80's selling white people in general pipe dreams

His Presidency helped turn the economy around.
What else did he explicitly promise Black people?

Exactly. If he played a bunch of idiots to get into office (just like Hillary's idiots)

But ends up being a good president for the country that should be all that matters...

All these people rioting are no different then the KKK when obama won... No difference...

Have to give the man a chance before before jumping to all these conclusions...

Every president ever elected has lied to get into office...

Made-up quote.
Still true, but entirely made-up.

Oh my god, this presidency has the potential to be one of the GOAT spectacles

I swear to gawd that's all I kept thinking when I saw his face

But y'all going to be mad he doesn't implement those policies.

But ends up being a good president for the country that should be all that matters...

Don't be dumb - Trump isn't going to be a good president just because he is backtracking on idiot policies. He still is incredibly ignorant on all relevant issues, has an awful temperament for a president, is unable to concentrate on any serious task (this is the guy who wouldn't even prep debates), and surrounds himself with terrible people. He's still the same guy who can't take criticism without going unhinged and who happily uses racism or any other available prejudice or cheat to get ahead. The walls he needs to climb to even reach "competent" are going to be far too steep no matter what policies he gets behind.

Its going to be horrible. He is going to look like a worn out bean bag by the end of his term.

I'm putting money on him not making it out of his first term in good health. He takes stuff way too hard. Obama was incredibly secure with himself, young, could let flack roll off his back, and he still aged. Trump is an obese 70-year-old bundle of exposed nerve endings. He ain't making it 4 years without at least a hospitalization.

No, there is definitely more to the story. Just need additional time to flesh it out without sounding emotional. To keep you at bay, the Dems have lost 3 of the last 5 elections.

Demo have won the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 elections. Flip a single state by 0.001% in 2000, a single state by 1% in 2004, and 2 states by 1% in 2016, and we'd be talking 7 straight electoral victories for the party. Now, the Democrats have serious policy issues and need to reform significantly for the good of the country. But don't overthink these election results. Clinton was a hated establishment candidate in a pure anti-establishmnt year, and she was still likely a ridiculous FBI letter away from pulling it out.

Liberals spent the last year convulsing over trumps "dangerous" proposals but now their mad because he might not follow through with them



Required HL reading

You can't be that dumb. Trump didn't have anything to do with writing that book. The guy who did write it says that Trump was an utter POS that was almost impossible to work with and that the tales in there are mostly mythological fairy tales meant to make Trump look good.

Dude is smart. He knows America is racist and that gets the most votes. Other candidates are now jealous because they didn't go this route, even though they think just like him just don't say out in the open. He even said the Republican party is dumb.

 

[DonKnock]

presidents breaking promises is the american way. Here's what happened. He met with Obama, Obama showed him the catastrafukk that is our current, and the world's current, state of affairs as well as the demands by our alien overlords. Trump's hands are tied.

Mods posting about Alien overlords but sent my moon landing poll to the bushes

Trump 'hasn't given a lot of thought' to jailing Clinton

President-elect Donald Trump says he hasn’t considered jailing Hillary Clinton since winning Tuesday’s election, a sign he might be backing off his threat to prosecute his opponent.

“It’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought, because I want to solve healthcare, jobs, border control, tax reform,” Trump said during a Friday interview with the Wall Street Journal.

It’s the first time Trump has directly addressed his threat since his victory on Election Day.

During his presidential campaign, Trump warned he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton.

He repeatedly called the FBI “rigged” for its decision not to recommend charges against the Democratic nominee for her use of a private email server as secretary of State.

When Clinton declared Trump unfit to oversee the criminal-justice system during their final debate, Trump famously shot back “because you’d be in jail.”

The call energized his supporters, who frequently chanted “lock her up” at his campaign rallies.

Trump also sounded a different note on Clinton during his victory speech, where he had gracious words for his vanquished opponent.

“Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,” he said.

Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who is now a senior adviser to his transition team, said Wednesday that Trump “did not discuss [a special prosecutor]” since his victory.

Republican members of Congress, including House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (Utah), have vowed to launch new probes into Clinton’s email setup now that the campaign is over.

One way of preventing a prosecution would be for President Obama to preemptively pardon Clinton for any crimes she may have committed.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest would not rule out that possibility this week, but indicated the president hopes Trump’s victory speech was a sign he won’t have to make such a move.

“We’ve got a long tradition in this country of people in power not using the criminal-justice system to exact political revenge,” Earnest said Wednesday. “In fact, we go to great lengths to insulate our criminal-justice system from partisan politics.”

I really hope he fails and the country fails. So he'll probably manage to grow the economy, take credit for Obeezy's hard work and become one of the GOATs

This article hits home about why some people voted for him, their jobs. Too bad that they are still going to Mexico, no matter who is president.

The whole article is a quote. Globalism is undefeated brehs.
