Obama took over in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression


Yep.  Plenty of room for that growth.  The 14 year old running in VT could have done it.

Largest stimulus package in our history leading to saving an estimated 3 million jobs…

Exactly

Any president with an economy that poor upon takeover and with that number stimulus available couldn't help but come out on the positive side of it.
Just as any President with a growing economy will likely continue to see the economy grow until they fuck it up by, for instance, starting trade wars for no good reason or putting a financial strain on wage earners by lowering the real world effect of their wages, or undercut not one but two major economic sectors by fucking with health insurance out of spite.

Trump use of term "dog". He should have argued he was just using slang. Like "Yo, dog, whatchoo bitchin' 'bout? I hired you four times!"

Four more times than most people with any shred of integrity would have, btw.

Trump revoking John Brennan's security clearance, the reasons being given are the risks posed by his "erratic conduct & behavior" "increasingly frenzied commentary" "wild outbursts on the internet and television" and that he is "highly partisan."

Even coming from a political party that has in may ways come to be defined by its hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness, this is breathtaking.

If you define "swamp" as the group of people who dare criticize the President's behavior.

But as most things you post, the exact opposite is true.

You have a habit of talking out of your ass that you should really check, kiidcarter8.

You do actually get that shit for life, and since a law put into place in 1995, you need to follow a procedure and give a justifiable reason for revoking it. 

Trump's reasons are laughable, all the more clear when you see that the list of "more to come" are all Trump critics.

You do not lose a privilege because you criticize a President either. There will be a Democratic president eventually. You ok with pulling clearances for the people who opine on Fox?

I'm sure your front row seat on Trump's inner thoughts gives you special insight.  I would have guessed a different noun there.

Well.  Charges that the President committed treason are clearly impeachable offenses. Absent any action along those lines though  proceed with caution.

And? You post that as if it means something in context.

I don’t understand why you guys keep waiting for kid and RED to “see the light.”

Hell, someone had to put on the brown shirt during the rise of the last Reich.
