While some passive Benedict Arnold desire to undermine the country, we might look at what policies, actions or lack thereoff may have contributed to the USAs ills:

- NAFTA, which was sold as a way to build up 2 Million Jobs in a "few years" ended up plummeting the US manufacturing base in everything from furniture, textiles, to the critical electronics.

- The "giant sucking sound" of job loss occurred as predicted, and has crushed the US economy, set a series of ponzi schemes that benefit politicians, their lobbyists, while good jobs are still fleeing from the US.

- The ascent of Russias in Ukraine, meddling in Syria occurred in the last administration thru policies specifically mean to ignore the problems.
- The military build up of China and development of islands in the China Sea happened in the last administration
- The attempt to "normalize" relations with Cuba and Iran happened in the last administration. The full effect of this is TBD.
- Dramatic increases in N. Korea missiles continued unabated under the last administration.

While some passive vandals proclaim that the new administration might harm the US, the previous administration apparently did everything possible to place the US National Security in a perilous situation.

Wait you define Hope then it's my turn.

Good post.

I'd also add to the list of Democrat ills from the previous administration:

- The failure of ACA (probably the worst domestic policy ever enacted in the past 50 years).
- Pushing and helping Iran become a nuclear power.
- Transferring trillions of dollars to Wall Street after their own bets didn't pay off.
- Destabilizing Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Ukraine (Hillary Clinton: "We came. We Saw. He died.")
- Allowing ISIS to grow and thrive and become a power in the middle east (remember Obama called them a "JV Squad").

God Trump & his Rep/Con Angles have solved all these problems. MAGA!
The rest of the world would be better off if they told the u.s.a. to stay the fuck out of other sovereign nations.

By the way,the idiot Democrats won't be able to fix it.

This title summarizes exactly liberal mindset, they hope America fails.

Yes, and that's why they shouldn't be in power. At all.
Ever.
These Leftists are the enemy of the people.
They won't be happy until we all live in mud huts, starving and shooting each other to survive, all the while gazing up at them in their Caligulan splendor in adoration.

Ain't gonna happen! Not on our watch.
FOAD!

We are going to MAGA

This is Obama's legacy. If you weren't such a fuck up we may have never gotten the greatest president we've ever had. Thanks Barry, you finally did something good for the country.

FortWayne says

We are going to MAGA

What is the success criteria of MAGA?

HEY YOU says

Hope this country completely collapses under Trump & Republicans.

But only under them? If hillary was prez, you would want to MAGA?

Hillary would have had same issues, different flavor, but be be far more capable a diplomat. Forward progress was debatable, but backward wasn't on the menu. This is some dark reactionary policy making and leadership we have now.

HEY YOU is being hyperbolic and spiteful. Cannot say I'm not a tiny bit happy such a cluster f has grabbed the reigns though from the GOP side. The political upside is amazing.

The Trump presidency is going to be Legen...wait for it...dary!
2018 will herald a great gnashing of Leftist teeth as they lose even more bigly, and more concerning, Republican reps are replaced by primary challengers ready to MAGA!

What's so backwards about Trump policies? Seems more like progress

You people on the left love to whine.
Yet notice that all Trump policies so far help our nation, unlike communist Obamacare that doubled insurance costs.

This is going to be Trump's legacy. If he wasn't such a fuck up we may have never gotten to where Bush looks good now. Thanks Donny, you finally did something good for the Bush family legacy. Maybe Mikey P. can do the same for Dick C.

Several Pat.net posters are communists, or at least communist sympathizers.

I try to be clear.
FUCK the Democrats & their voters.

Fucking White Male says

unlike communist Obamacare that doubled insurance costs.

The unregulated free market insurance companies raised premiums.
All those that sell to the healthcare industry can raise their prices.
Private enterprise is the reason for high healthcare cost.
We are not in single payer.

HEY YOU says

The unregulated free market insurance companies raised premiums.

They didn't raise their premiums just like that, you see they have to compete with each other, so they can't go crazy.

But Obama did 3 things to increase costs.
- added required benefits, even those not needed (sex change surgery is covered, etc...), which raised costs since the cost has to be passed on to consumer.
- prohibited selling across state lines, which meant insurance won't have to compete with out of state insurance.
- added additional taxes.

All of that caused insurance to soar, you think everyone around you is just going to eat the costs and don't see how government bullshit just increases cost of everything artificially.

If that's true, you should just say what you mean.....Why not just say "Hope this country completely collapses" and leave it at that.
