Trump administration officials are considering the deployment of 14,000 additional troops and other military hardware to the Middle East to counter a potential threat from Iran, reports The Wall Street Journal.

 
that puts him above Obama in number of troops deployed

The data cited was sourced from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF's) Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Reports (AFMER).

Among the data:

  • The estimated total number of firearms in civilian possession from 1986-2018 is 422.9 million.
  • 17,740,000 Modern Sporting Rifles privately owned.
  • More than half (54%) of all rifles produced in 2017 were modern sporting rifles.
  • An estimated 8.1 billion rounds, of all calibers and gauges, were produced in 2018 for the U.S. market.

To be honest and fair in our beliefs 

Pelosi has no control of her district, she isn’t the mayor, Governor, Street dept, or dog catcher.
She can call the governor and tell them that the conditions are making her look bad. She can try and write some kind of federal regulations to cover that district......waste of time, not gonna happen. 
‘she can earmark money from the budget to clean up....not likely, the homeless don’t donate.

we have to stop running to the federal government to fix everything from potholes to plumbing 

”human waste that emits toxic ammonia and nitrogen that empties into the ocean” is so stupid on its face that Greta may have said it.

This is a very interesting response regarding Nancy and her district.  So, we need to be honest and fair and give the pol who's been in Congress for 32 years now a pass on the literal shithole her district is because she can't dictate what goes on there.  Got it, and yeah, she doesn't have direct control of it.

It has, however, been controlled by HER political party for more than the last half century (the last Republican mayor left office in 1964 and it has been 'D' ever since), though, so it would seem that those in control share her belief system, no?  And they've been driving for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.  Why doesn't she call the governor and mayor and all and tell them it makes her look bad?  I thought Ds CARE about the common folk.

During the first three years of his presidency, Obama deported 1.18 million people, The Washington Post reported. Trump, despite promising in 2016 to deport “millions,” has deported less than 800,000 people during his first three years in office. 

Under the Obama administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported more than 385,000 people each year in fiscal years 2009-11. The rate spiked in 2012 when 409,849 deportations were carried out, Axios reported, citing Department of Homeland Security records. The Trump administration has not carried out more than 260,000 deportations in a single year, according to the Post.

So, do you suppose this is due to a lack of effort and inclination on President Trump's part, or could there possibly be some external factors?  You know, things like leftists and 'sanctuary cities' actively thwarting the efforts of ICE & DHS, and activist judges throwing obstacles in his path and making deportations more difficult to carry out?  Or is it just that Trump lied about his intentions?  What are you saying here?

-Pat

But when President Trump (who's been in political office for not quite THREE years now) can't accomplish his goals because he faces opposition at every turn from leftists using their 'pet' judges to block his efforts to exercise powers that are his per the Constitution, well, that just 'is what it is'.

I’m saying that it is what it is.

there were sanctuary cities with Obama, DACA, etc

so a leftist that deports more illegals than the “build the wall” campaign spokesman, says something. Trump had no intention of deporting cheap labor and has said so in different interviews “we are going to take care of them” etc, etc, etc.

the most 

eft wing President we probably have ever had, who could do whatever he wanted and be protected. Has deported more illegals than probably the most, self avowed, right wing President we have ever had who can do whatever he wants and be protected by a hardcore group of believers.

intentions and actions don’t agree. Campaign slogans and administration actions don’t agree.

if this was anybody else we would be screaming

You apparently suffer from TDS.  He can't 'do whatever he wants'.  His efforts to exercise powers that are clearly his as laid out by the constitution have been repeatedly obstructed by leftists taking suits to selected federal judges who then rule against the president and tie him in red tape.  His attempts to secure funding for the border wall have been fought tooth and nail by democrats in congress (the same democrats who can be seen in video recordings from before Trump was elected voicing their strong support of exactly the same things they now hue and cry about when Trump tries to accomplish them). If you haven't seen this play out time and again, then you're either not paying attention to what's going on, or are being willfully obtuse.  I suspect the latter, given the amount of shade I see you throwing on the president. 

The president doesn't operate in a vacuum, and is not a dictator.  If you are unable or unwilling to acknowledge this, then that's your failing.

You'd think Nancy would be better at 'politics' by now, seeing as she has 3+ decades (more than ten times that of Trump) of experience at them...

Yeah, you're right.  The press is treating him no differently than they did Obama.  :shakehead:   Just keep those blinders on.

Honest and fair....

Bush derangement syndrome predated Trump derangement syndrome

Reagan was mentally unfit before Trump was mentally unfit

Bush 41 was a secretly working with foreign governments before Trump was working with foreign governments

Reagan was going to start WWIII before Trump was going to start WWIII

Nixon was going through an impeachment inquiry and saying he was not a crook before Trump went through an impeachment inquiry and called it a witch hunt

Ford was a dupe and unprepared for the office before Trump was unprepared for office 

and that’s just the left wing attacks off the top of my head, the right wing attacks are just as bad

Clinton body count, China money, Whitewater, all the women

Obama birth certificate, transcripts, name change, gay lover, Michelle tranny

Hillary a drunk, Vince Foster, cattle futures, sniper fire

etc, etc, etc

nothing new, not “the worst attacks in history”, not “unprecedented opposition”

deep state, swamp, fake news, resistance....focus grouped buzzwords that mean whatever you want them to mean. Pelosi was the one who started the ‘“draining the swamp of corruption” during the Bush administration.

you know what scares them all....a person who is informed, thinks for themselves and has a memory longer than the last campaign.

Democrats talk about nuance

Republicans talk about degrees

when someone tells you who they are, believe them

So this is that 'nuance' you talk about, right?  Nancy can't do stuff because it's out of her control.  Trump can't do stuff because politics.  Though I think it might pain you greatly, you should try to apply those same "honest and fair" standards to President Trump, too.  Perhaps you'd then be less critical of him, given the constant, active opposition he's faced since entering office. 

Why is it that you can so easily apply honest and fair standards to the long term democrat, but seem incapable of granting the same consideration to President Trump?  You only apply the nuance to the democrats?

Our honesty and intellectual integrity is not dependent on the adversaries level of honesty and integrity. If it is....they beat you

fighting fire with fire can be used as an excuse to lower our standards to the level of theirs because...of theirs.

fight the dies with extinguishers of truth and facts, cut through their BS quotes and memes with reality and common sense. Not making up our own.

 

 

Trumps goals may not be as aligned with yours as you think. Don’t put on MAGA blinders.

 

Pelosi is corrupt, degenerate, lying, despicable person. She’s not stupid, she is a political animal and has been leading this tribe for a long time. She will use the popularity of current events and personalities, like the squad, until they try to cut into her territory. Then they I’ll beat off like a hippies jeans without a second thought.

she gives a rats ass about SF, that’s a State/local issue.....unless she can use it.
 

expecting long term honesty and integrity of a democrook is a waste of time. Not a chance this side of a vegetative state that I would ever vote for one. 

if you have to BE them to BEAT them........you ARE them.
You just wear different jersey
