you want a tax deduction for weed?

When it is a medical expense, yes, it is not cheap. You're not talking ####### off the street here. You're lookin at almost a grand a month.

If it's a medical necessity absolutely.

 How about herbal tea..?  Who defines necessity?

Anyways, here's what I agree and disagree with:

 

I agree with:

 

Congressional term limits

5 years before lobbying

Having a more serious obstacle at the border

Deporting illegals that have committed crimes while in the US although I do want to see wider immigration reform that gives a path for the rest of them to become legal, and also makes legal immigration an easier process.

Defeating Isis, although I don't want to see more boots on the ground anywhere really, enough American soldiers have been killed in the last decade and a half

Helping the inner cities

Investing in infrastructure and cutting taxes, although at the same time I'd like to not see a further increase in the deficit, so there would be a need to spend very wisely elsewhere.

Replacing the ACA while keeping the parts he mentioned he wants to keep, but this is entirely dependent on what they actually come up with as a replacement so it remains to be seen if it's something I can agree with or not.

I agree with his stance that interest rates need to be further raised, although I find it difficult to completely agree since he seemed to flip flop on it several times so I'm not really sure what his opinion really is. 

 

I disagree with:

 

The travel ban EO

Him buddying up with Putin

His plans for protectionism

His childish attitude

His support of the death penalty for people like Snowden

His harsh stance against marijuana

I disagree he will be able to, at any point, grow the economy by 4%

Cutting corporate taxes unless they are sole proprietorships(which are taxed individually)

 

 

 

 

Wait Trump's against weed? Impeach him now

Well hell then why not turmeric supplements or garlic or gee...there should be clear criteria. I would not consider herbal tea a medical necessity. I would consider medical marijuana from the dispensary a medical necessity.

Sounds petty I know but I look at the totality of it all

I'll be honest, I thought about doing that, but decided to go for a civil discussion instead.

He is very engaging and entertaining ..the type that just reaches out and grabs you

 

What I like about him? Not a single thing. He's simply a sad excuse of a human being.

Policies that all depends: I haven't yet seen him do anything revolutionary, free thinking, or that actually is helping people as of yet.

Most of the stuff that he wants to do sort of also relies upon the individuals in congress to move their butts, so my judgment on things that they say will get done, but will most likely never get done remains to be seen.

 

We need to fix the immigration system - every single aspect.

We need to fix the economic disparity in the country.

We need to fix infrastructure.

We need to fix the healthcare system.

We need to keep the separation of church and state.

We need to respect a woman's right to choose.

We need to reform the tax system.

We need to stop getting involved in wars.

We need to pay greater attention to threats within the USA - which includes white supremacist movements.

We need a smarter drug policy - I am not for the legalization of drugs - but if someone is truly suffering or dying of cancer they should have access to pot if it helps them - and we need better research into the benefit of such drugs.

We need to get the government out of our bedrooms.

We need better resources and smarter ideas to get people into training and jobs that will benefit themselves, their families, and communities.

We need to understand that freedom of religion, free speech, and liberty for all - means just that.

We need to figure out that you do not make deals with the devil because eventually it comes back to bite you (this goes over his head like a lead balloon so..).

We need a proper balance between safety vs privacy.

We need to ensure criminals, those with a documented history of spouse, child, and animal abuse, and the mentally insane do not have access to firearms.

We should not destroy our natural resources, our drinking water, our forests, and our animals in favor of unchecked capitalism and greed.

But other than that, you think we're in pretty good shape?

Good shape in terms of what?

At this point I think Mr. Potato Head could be a better President, ya know? Not sure if we've hit rock bottom yet.

[OriZ 3,157]

Mr. Potato head would make an awesome president!

Honestly I wish I had at least one positive thing to say regarding Donald Trump as President. I don't. I don't understand what anyone see's in him, on a molecular level. Nothing. He is a self absorbed pathological liar that seems to reject reality in all of its forms.

[LionessDeon 2,060]

I like the positivity of this thread even though I do not care much for Trump as our president.  

I agree with him on the TPP and am glad he pulled us out. 

I agree about not allowing  lobbying for 5 years. 

I agree we need strong borders handled correctly. 

I agree about keeping jobs here and using American products.
