monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Sure there's other allies. We are also pretty powerful and have a scary aircraft carrier fleet. But Russia and China are both bigger than UK. We are not "friends" with either right now. Don't you like making friends?

Also, why waste all the time and money getting hot and bothered by russia when we could be using it on FREE COLLEGE!!

Not only free college, but better health care for all.

You got that one right.

You want to get rid of the EC? Me to.

I have to admit I dont know George but can only judge him from this forum. Therefore I think is a dishonest person.

Not much chance of that with a republican congress, president and supreme court. More of a chance education will be put into the hands of industry with a corresponding reduction in education. Look at industrial prisons.

The word 'FREE' has somehow lost all of it's original meaning.

I'll play If that was the case than I would be completely ok with it. Girlfriends who do naughty things with other guys are easily replaceable. I would still give my girlfriend the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise though. It wouldn't be the first relationship I watched crash and burn while I was in it, and when it comes to girlfriends there's always something in it for me until there isn't. I'm kind of a high hope low expectation kinda guy. I guess when I found that perfect girl I would make her my wife, but so far I am still searching.

America doesn't need a wife.

Don't get me wrong, I like what they did this time, and there is a reason they are there. I think they should at least be bound by the states they represent though.

I'm not really 100% sold on eliminating them all together or keeping them around though. On one hand, you are promoting democracy by getting rid of them. Everybody gets the same powered vote. On the other hand, if we did get rid of themy, it's kind of like saying states like Montana or Arkansas don't matter because they don't have much of a population. Those states have their needs too.

Trump isn't that bad and Free College for Everyone was never going to happen. Hillary had about as much sincerity about that as Trump did with his wall.

Lol no kidding.

Which is why we have representatives and senators to look out for the states. President is for all the people.

I agree, and it's a real shame that 0bama was never for all people... it's pretty clear that he isn't for America as it ever was before he began his rule. His kind of change has created huge new problems, and re-ignited old problems. He went from community organizer to global agitator, so he's got that legacy going for him.

The task to right all that has been done is monumental, Trump has his work cut out for him. I expect him to make some bold moves.

The president should be. Obama wasn't. That's why I kind of agree with the Electoral College. Obama cared about the city folk. That's it. Which is part of why all kinds of people came out of the woodwork for Trump this election. Half of America was ignored.

I guess The Clinton Crime family has a few less employees.

Quote tony5732:
That's untrue. When Obama first took office, the country had LOST 6 Million Full Time jobs the previous year. Now the country has GAINED over 2 Million Full Time jobs in the last year and 5 Million the last two years. That's an amazing turnaround he engineered, and conservatives' only reaction is to down-talk the economy because they swore Obama would never succeed, and he did.

Actually, here's Obama's job creation record.

Both of you are wrong.

0bama didn't care about American blacks living in the city, their situation in life is much worse today - thanks to 0bama.

His legacy on creating jobs is a freaking joke.

Worst president ever, BHO.

OK. What did Obama do to create jobs?

The labor involved in putting up those "Shovel ready" highway improvements.
