This question is for anyone who has an answer they feel strongly about:

Why did liberals regret Trump's victory in 2016?

If Obama had lost to Romney in 2012, would that have ruined something for the liberals?

Obama was fortunate enough to have a good autopilot system engaged throughout his presidency; he wasn't bothered by nuclear threat, ISIS, caging children,
or any of these things that cause Trump so much grief. He winged it well and even found time to diss the handicapped on late night TV.

Democrats have lost presidential elections to Republicans before, obviously.
So why now is it such a huge disastrous loss with the man who they racistly call "the orange one?"

I'm sure Hillary was gonna wing things too; she knows right where the
autopilot button is in the Oval Office.. So what other button were the democrats hoping she was gonna press??

What makes liberals wealthy? And which voting topics were up for discussion
in the past 4 years? Or maybe the upcoming 4 years? I bet there's a correlation, but I haven't pinpointed it yet.

One thing that's for sure is that people get angry when people cost them
money.

This question is for anyone who has an answer they feel strongly
about:
Why did liberals regret Trump's victory in 2016?

For starters, because he lied to the American people, and continues to
lie during office (last count was 10,000).

And then, the way that he is tearing up relations with allies and
hob-nobing with totalitarian dictators who he sees as role models.

Next, because he is filling jobs with people who are not qualified, and
in some cases bordering on criminality.

And then, the way that he is down playing the advice of the intelligence community -- taking the word of Putin that Russia did not interfere in
our election over the evidence given to him by multiple agencies.

Finally, the way that he is spreading hate and divisiveness -- embolding
white nationalists and other fringe groups.

Is that enough for you?

Honestly. I do not think that any list of such allegations is accurate or has any truth within such a list.

You're on the left and so are people like pencil neck Adam Schiff and others. POTUS has been a successful to spite your party trying to stand in his way.

Just because you say these things, does not make them true or valid.

because Dale,the people on the right can see right through the things coming from the left as if they were transparent clear cellophane.

See.....Trump wasn't supposed to win. Hillary was supposed to win in a walk. Comey would still be FBI director....Brennan and the other guy (Clapper?)
would still be running things in `intelligence' .....we'd be having rosy days and party-time nights....and everything would be great in a `democrat' sort of way.


But Trump won in probably the biggest national election upset ever, and all
the democrats' rosy notions of how Hillary'd be running things...handing out largess here and there....went down the tubes.


And its been one big two year attack on him since he won the election.


I was born just before Pearl Harbor, and I've never seen any president in my lifetime attacked so steadily as Trump has been since election night. He's
been under constant democrat attack from the start. Not even Nixon got the treatment Trump is getting from the democrats.


And make no mistake....the democrats don't care if they ruin the country or flood it with illegals in their efforts to `get Trump'. If it means ending America as we knew it...they don't care. They are completely blinded by their hatred of Donald Trump.

Start with his response to Charlotsville two years ago when a white
nationalist killed a woman and injured others, all the while when the
white nationalists were marching chanting hate slogans. His reponse was
"there are good people on both sides", nothing to condemn what the white nationalists were doing.

Continue through almost all of his campaign rallies, before and after
election when he touted the theme of invasion from the south by Mexicans
and other hispanics, calling them rapists and murderers.

Yes, they are speaking out about him and his policy -- often with fervor
and distain. But they are not inciting riots and murder.

The North Korean dictator launched two more missiles today.
And still has his entire stockpile of nukes. And the capability
to continue adding to it. So what has President Trump been able
to accomplish, with three visits with his sweetheart? Nothing.
Not a damned thing.

Do you think the Japanese Prime Minister was happy to find missiles
capable of hitting his country being fired by NK? Not at all.
How much longer do you think Japan will wait before it develops
its own nuclear weapons? How much longer do you think Vietnam
will wait before it develops its own nuclear weapons? How much
longer do you think South Korea will wait before it develops its
own nuclear weapons?

Since the USA will not protect them, they know they have to protect
themselves. That is the way things work in the real world.

I understand that feeling, but I think Trump cares too much about his

of NYC, but he's trying to make Trump feel unwelcome there, which is not very presidential, in my opinion :)

Just because some white supremacist goes off the rails does not make
Donald Trump a white supremacist.

Guilt by association is a logical fallacy. Even if both the shooter

Are you saying, or suggesting, that Donald Trump is a white supremacist?
Maybe he is, although I seriously doubt he will ever admit it. At least
eight Democrats who are running for president have explicitly claimed
he is a white supremacist, so you would not be alone in saying that.

George Wallace claimed he was never a racist. And he also claimed
he never said the "N" word in public. But at least he apologized for
his actions, and went on to win a fourth term as governor of Alabama.

Do I believe Donald Trump will apologize? About anything? Has he
ever admitted to have made a mistake? About anything? We have a
candidate who is running for governor of Louisiana, whose entire
campaign theme is "Donald Trump is right" - with bumper stickers
proclaiming that fact to all the world. He has no other position.

I wish Edwin Edwards could run for a fifth term.

And for Mitch Landrieu to run for President.

I've never heard him do that. But note that I only watch about eight >BA>hours of television a week and that only because I'm literally tied to >BA>the television.

Then you have not been paying attention.

Many others do. And take him quite seriously.

Start with his response to Charlotsville two years ago when a white >nationalist killed a woman and injured others, all the while when the
white nationalists were marching chanting hate slogans. His reponse was >"there are good people on both sides", nothing to condemn what the white >nationalists were doing.

Are you calling Donald Trump a white supremacist? At least eight
Democrats who are running for president are, so you would not be the
first. Of course, Trump denies it all, claiming he is not a white
supremacist, and says it is a disgrace for anybody to call him that.

Continue through almost all of his campaign rallies, before and after >election when he touted the theme of invasion from the south by Mexicans
and other hispanics, calling them rapists and murderers.

How does that make him a white supremacist? Just because those
rapists and murderers happen to be black or brown does not necessarily
make him a white supremacist. I mean, I am sure he condemns the acts
of all rapists and murderers, regardless of the color of their skin.
Just like that white dude who killed eight Mexicans in El Paso.

His talk has
contributed to white nationalistic hate crimes.

Hatred is not limited to "white nationalists." Listen to any leftist
- including several candidates for president - talking about Donald >BA>Trump.

Yes, they are speaking out about him and his policy -- often with fervor
and distain. But they are not inciting riots and murder.

No president can control the acts of others. And certainly not that
of a single individual who is probably insane.

The shooter in El Paso
quoted him directly as part of the justification for what was
done there.

There is no justification for what was done there

Of course not, but nevertheless -- that is what he said.

Again, how does that make Donald Trump a white supremacist? While
he is clearly playing to a crowd, that does not mean he is hoping any
of them go off the rails and conduct mass shootings of black and brown
people.

The only reason I watch ANY television is the fact that I have to sit through four hours of kidney dialysis twice a week, and during the treatment I'm in a recliner, but I can't move my left arm (that's

Did he condemn the acts of either the Dayton or El Paso shooters? I
might have missed it, but certainly have not heard such language coming

clear that he did not write it. Nor did it look as if he really
believed what he was told he should say.

Try playing a video clip of him in a Florida rally. Paraphrasing, He
asks "what can we do about this invasion". Someone in the crowd shouts
"shoot them". He laughs and says "well you could probably get away with
that in the panhandle". That certainly does not sound like he is
discouraging the acts of one such as the El Paso shooter.

Then there is "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with

If you think that Trump cares about anyone other than himself, you have
not been paying attention. Even when visiting the wounded in El Paso,
he had to talk about how big his rally was compared to Beto. Donald
Trump is a classic narcissist. It all has to be about him.

It is not because he is a white male, but the fact that he

Just so happens this way, African American democratic politicians use the very color of own skin to incite the element of the race card to try to make the charge of racism.

The Democratic party is a diverse coalition, as they themselves will relentlessly tell you. But diversity doesn't mean Democrats are unified. Increasingly, it means a party defined by identity politics, and that means conflict. In the Democratic party, skin color matters above all. Some colors are good. Some are colors are bad. Your worth as a person depends on what you look like:

What really is happening these democratic imbeciles go after the President without getting their facts straight, the President exploits this weakness. Then the decision must be made to attempt a counter punch or admit defeat, they often choose to counter, instead of using facts that could be used to
validate their concerns, they respond with what has worked so many times before as they make the suggestion racism, born also from this is the notion of White Supremacy of which sucks out any remaining creditably that remains.

The President wrote the following.
"Today's shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice, I know that I stand with everyone in this country to condemn
today's hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people."

Hello Dale,

to support or substantiate his claim.

No president can control the acts of others. And certainly not that
of a single individual who is probably insane.

Hardly any of the mass shooters would ever have been diagnosed as being >insane.

Insanity is a legal term/defense. Did the shooter know the difference
between right and wrong at the time he committed the act? It was shown
that John Hinckley was mentally ill when he did his thing, but in that
case nobody was killed. I doubt the verdict would have been the same
had any of his intended targets died.

Again, how does that make Donald Trump a white supremacist? While
he is clearly playing to a crowd, that does not mean he is hoping any >LL>of them go off the rails and conduct mass shootings of black and brown >LL>people.

The next day, he said he did not like it. He also said he very quick
in his response. Which, in a way, would be honest, given it took him
two whole days to give a response to the shootings in El Paso. I mean,
he was busy playing golf in New Jersey at the time ...

Then there is "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with
it".

Of course he can. He is the POTUS.

True story -

President Nixon attended the funeral of US Senator Allen Ellender.
Just outside the steps of the cathedral, the local justice of the peace
walked up to him, hand extended, wanting to shake his hand. Nixon's
face turned ashen, thinking the idiot was going to shoot him. I was
there, along with some of my cousins, and saw the whole thing right
before my eyes. Unfortunately, this was before we entered the digital
age, and we did not have youtube at the time. To make a long story
short, we all thought the headlines in the next day's newspaper would
be "Local Cajun Dies Shaking President's Hand".

The novel "The Man", by Irving Wallace, was written on what could
happen in such a situation. The novel was written in 1964, before the
25th Amendment, and was a national best-seller at the time. In 1972,
the novel was adapted as a political drama screenplay by Rod Serling,
directed by Joseph Sargent, and featuring James Earl Jones as President
Douglas Dilman, the first black POTUS.

This event (the Ellender funeral) also changed policy. The president
and vice president very rarely are seen together at the same place, or
next to each other at an event.

Since we are talking about the POTUS, he should be given the benefit

Hello Tim,

the lefties ignore a few things about the el Paso shooter in their haste to
`blame Trump':

A mass murderer has only one philosopy - to kill as many as he/she
can. Usually within a very short period of time.

For one thing the guy's so-called `manifesto' runs all over the place.

To be honest, I don't really care. The crime he committed was so
heinous, he needs to be locked up forever, with the key thrown away
to a place that can never be found.

It defines no clear, direct political side; either democrat OR republican!

His `manifesto' makes it very clear that Trump is his hero.

He deliberately targeted people whom he thought were Hispanic
due to the color of their skin. 8 of those he killed were Mexican
nationals. How many others who looked like Hispanics is unknown.
And that is just those who were killed, aside from those who were
wounded.

Based on the words in his own `manifesto', Trump was one of his heroes.
Trump was the main reason, if not the only reason, why he went off and
did his thing.

He doesn't just target `hispanics' he also targets `average Americans'.

Please tell me why the sob drove 9 hours to target `average Americans'
who he thought were brown and spoke Spanish. Remember, 8 of his kills
were Mexican nationals, legally here in El Paso - the city of the
shooter's choice.

Would you do that? Drive almost 700 miles in order to kill as many
Hispanics as you could at a local Wal*Mart in El Paso, Texas?

He also calls for a `decrease in the general American population' without
stating which part of the `American population' should be `decreased'.

Well, granted this world will be a better place without him. But
unlike others, I do not wish the man dead. I want to keep him locked
up, for the rest of his natural life, and keep him well-fed and given
the best medical care our prison system can give him. We really
should do that for all such sick creatures who have committed such
heinous crimes. Take them all off death row and place them on life
row, where they know their exit out of that place will be a long
time coming.

He called for `universal healthcare' and `universal income'; both of which
are liberal socialist democrat issues! (Surprise!)

I fully agree with the concept of `universal healthcare' and
`universal income' for prison inmates, regardless of how long
their stay may be.

But you didn't see any leftie media mention THOSE points.

You are hearing it from me. :)

It is said that the basics of his `manifesto' are more anti-corporation and
eco-extreme than pro-administration.

He will be free to express himself while being held at a maximum
security prison of our choice. However, that does not mean he can
expect his ravings and rantings to be guaranteed any air time or
free publicity ...

I've also seen it pointed out that the shooter actually blames Trump for an
increase in work visas!

He will not be needing a work visa where he is going.

And he also rails against both democrats AND republicans for `selling out to
corporations on a number of issues.

Maybe we can give him a job making license plates?

The lefties like to hurl hateful accusations at conservatives without
touching on that which puts themselves in a bad light as well.

I am recommending keeping the guy alive. And allow him to contribute
to our society by doing something constructive (such as making license
plates). That is certainly a much more noble thing to call for than
what some others want. Just remember, revenge is not justice. None
of the dead can ever be brought back to life.

They would LOVE to tie Trump into one or both shooters, but it doesn't work!

Trump has done nothing to end the violence. Nada. After the shooter
in Las Vegas offed dozens of people, Trump issued an executive order
doing away with gun bumps. The NRA did not like that, and called for
his head. So Trump decided to do nothing more, allowing the same types

Now Trump is talking about having expanded background checks. And
will do exactly what he has been doing before. Nothing at all.
Why not? Because the NRA owns him. Lock, stock, and barrel.

BTW...did you know he tied his `manifesto' to the environment by naming it
(get ready) "The Inconvenient Truth"! (Shades of Al Gore!)

He deliberate targeted people who he thought were brown and spoke
Spanish. Had he just been mad about the environment, he could have
come to Louisiana and shot up all the marshland he wanted without
consequence.

There is strength in diversity.

There is strength in many things, but choosing someone based on the color of their skin is racist, not to mention dumb.

I did not say that people should be chosen on the basis of their color
or race, and on that I can agree with you. What I do not agree with is not choosing someone based on their color or race -- nor with
denigrating someone based on their color or race. *THAT* is what is racist.

Choice and selection should be based on merit. The best Man or Women for the job, regardless of race, but many times the choice is made upon fear
that someone will call them racist because there are no people of color, This is ignorance. aka "the race card."
The PC way of accomplishing this is affirmative action, doesn't do anything
for me.

There is no CEN Caucasian Entertainment Network.
but there is a BET Black Entertainment Network.

There is no NAACP National Association for the Advancement of Caucasian
People but there is a NAACP National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.

If either CEN or NAACP for white people existed, Van Jones would call it a "Whitewash" just as he did when President Trump was elected, people like him such as Al Sharpton use the race card all the time.
They need to otherwise they would never accomplish anything.

I think that, in practice, the difference between selecting somebody because he is the right race and not selecting somebody because he belongs to the wrong race is semantics only. Let me explain:

Three candidates apply for a job position. Two are white and one is black. Hiring one of the whites because he is white is, in practice, the same as not hiring the black guy because he is black.

I have been to human resources processes and seen this happen the other way around too. Having 10 candidates, 3 belonging to minorities, and having 1 from the minorities selected specifically because he belonged to a minority. This mandate of enforcing a race based selection automatically discarded a lot of candidates because of no sensible reason other than PR.

Hello Richard,

I think that, in practice, the difference between selecting somebody because
he is the right race and not selecting somebody because he belongs to the wrong race is semantics only. Let me explain:

There is only one race - the human race. However, that is not how
the selection process works in the real world. One only has to look
at the US Constitution, as the Framers of the Constitution clearly
left out large segments of the population from being covered, such as
blacks, women, Native Americans, poor folks, etc.

The Framers of the Constitution were rich white men who owned
property (including slaves), and they wanted to protect their own,
along with those who supported them. They were not going to give
away the store, especially to those who opposed their views.

Three candidates apply for a job position. Two are white and one is black.
Hiring one of the whites because he is white is, in practice, the same as
not hiring the black guy because he is black.

Of course. That is the way it is, and always has been.

I have been to human resources processes and seen this happen the other way
around too.

In places (such as Harlem) that should be expected.

Having 10 candidates, 3 belonging to minorities, and having 1 from the
minorities selected specifically because he belonged to a minority.

Bill Clinton lives in Harlem. Does he qualify?

This mandate of enforcing a race based selection automatically discarded a
lot of candidates because of no sensible reason other than PR.

That would be true of any quota-based system. However, that is
not what we have today, anywhere in the USA. In most places, the
selection process is as the days of old. Employers hire whoever
they want, regardless of race, even though those employees are
more than likely the same race. No quota-based system in place,
or forced upon the employers. It is just the way they do business.

The business of business is business.

No government can change that, even if it wanted to.

How to make it fair for races of all colors to be considered as
equals for employment? Should a quota-based system be imposed upon
employers in order to make that happen? What would happen if such
draconian steps were put into place?

Let's take a town that is 80% black. The police force is 90% white.
How to come up with a police force that is reflective of the population
at large might seem to be a noble idea. But how to do that is not so
simple.

Three candidates apply for a job. Two are white and one is black.
All are qualified for the job. Should the town hire black after
black after black until the numbers are reflective of the population
at large? Certainly that would be a discriminatory policy against
white folks.

But what if the police force population is reflective of the population
at large? Would any policy at all be needed (quota-based or other)?
The town would be free to hire the candidate of its choice, regardless
of race. See how that works?

What we need is not a quota-based system to make things right.
What we need is employers to hire those who are under-represented
on their workforce, while paying those who are to do nothing.

That way, black folks will have nothing to complain about.

Not to be very anal, but if you are trying to make a case for egalitarism basing it on the idea that there is only a single human race, you should not talk in a follow-up argument about the integration of diferent races. It sounds self-defeating to the cause.

To be honest, I never go near the "there is a single human race" argument because it usually doesn't work well. It is usually paired with the implicit idea that every man should have the same rights because we are of the same race. The problem is that the whole argument breaks when you see a picture of Obama next to a picture of Trump and realize that large segments of the population share sets of characteristics that allow to get people classified into races. Just like you can classify dogs and horses by breed. You then hit the fallacy that since we are not the same race then we don't necessarily have the same rights. In my opinion, it is better for everybody to avoid that can of worms entirely and just declare that every functional human being has the same set of essential basic rights and be done with that, because we are convincing nobody than Obama and Trump cannot be classified in different groups.

In any case, the human resources stuff I was talking about was no quota driven. And I mean, there was no quota mandating to have x% minorities hired. As far as I know it was a PR policy from the firm. There is a lot of myth that business do what is best for them, but I am sure everybody here has had their share of lame managers... firms are ran by human beings and human beings are falible. They make mistakes. Some even let politics ruin the firm. Last time I checked, some workers of this firm complaint that a lot of the new recruits were underperforming very badly because technical merits had turned into a secondary consideration for recruitment. Go figure. I think this is the sort of thing people gets worried about when they hear of diversity enforcement plans.

And I will say I agree with those fears.

I have actually been in the blunt end of a quota-based law that left me out of a job position somewhere else and it was not very fun, by the way. Just sharing for the sake of full disclosure :-P

Hello Richard,

There is only one race - the human race.

[...]

How to make it fair for races of all colors to be considered as
equals for employment?

Not to be very anal, but if you are trying to make a case for egalitarism
basing it on the idea that there is only a single human race, you should
not talk in a follow-up argument about the integration of diferent races.
It sounds self-defeating to the cause.

There is only a single branch of the human race that counts, as
there are no others still around. However, there are some folks
who have gotten the twisted notion that different pigmentation
of skin represents separate races of man. Of course, we all know
this not to be true, as woman rules all of mankind regardless of
the color of his skin.

To be honest, I never go near the "there is a single human race" argument
because it usually doesn't work well.

Have you ever tried to do it with a dog? I watched a woman do that,
and with the dog doing it to her, live on Bourbon Street in New Orleans
on Mardi Gras. Have you ever tried to do it with a cow? I watched
a classmate do it in the pasture while waiting for the bus, which
he missed to his extracurricular activities. He earned the nickname
"Moo" for his efforts.

It is usually paired with the implicit idea that every man should have the
same rights because we are of the same race.

"All men are created equal." ~Thomas Jefferson

Some more equal than others, no doubt. And then there are women.
And children. And gays. And lesbians. And transgenders ...

The problem is that the whole argument breaks when you see a picture of
Obama next to a picture of Trump and realize that large segments of the population share sets of characteristics that allow to get people
classified into races.

Obama was a mutt, having been bred by a black brother and a white
sister. Just think of what his yellow siblings must think.

Just like you can classify dogs and horses by breed.

It takes generations to breed dogs and horses to be what you
want them to be. Only then can you classify them properly.

You then hit the fallacy that since we are not the same race then we don't
necessarily have the same rights.

Because we are classified as humans, we all have the same rights.
This was not always the case. Black folks were not considered as
being human until after Lincoln's death, and even then were subjected
to segregation for an additional century afterwards. Women did not
have the right to vote until 1920, and 18-year-olds had to wait decades
longer.

In my opinion, it is better for everybody to avoid that can of worms
entirely and just declare that every functional human being has the same
set of essential basic rights and be done with that, because we are convincing nobody than Obama and Trump cannot be classified in different groups.

"The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" only
existed for rich white men who owned property in Thomas Jefferson's
day, most of them well past their teens. Should we return to the
days of old, when only elderly white men who owned property could
vote and decide how everybody else should live?

In any case, the human resources stuff I was talking about was no quota
driven. And I mean, there was no quota mandating to have x% minorities
hired. As far as I know it was a PR policy from the firm. There is a lot of myth that business do what is best for them, but I am sure everybody here
has had their share of lame managers... firms are ran by human beings and human beings are falible. They make mistakes. Some even let politics ruin

lot of the new recruits were underperforming very badly because technical merits had turned into a secondary consideration for recruitment. Go
figure. I think this is the sort of thing people gets worried about when
they hear of diversity enforcement plans.

Affirmative action is not quota-driven. However, opponents of
affirmative action falsely claim it is. Why is that? Because
those who oppose affirmative action want to keep the status quo,
that of denying everyone their fair shake when it comes to being
considered for employment.

Look at it this way. The number of white police officers far
outnumbers what is reflective of the population at large. So why
not enact of policy of hiring more black police officers, at least
until the numbers are reflective of the population at large?

Rather than being racist, that is what is known as fairness.

And I will say I agree with those fears.

Why should white folks be scared of competition from black folks?
You don't find black folks complaining about white folks applying
for the job ...

I have actually been in the blunt end of a quota-based law that left me out
of a job position somewhere else and it was not very fun, by the way. Just sharing for the sake of full disclosure :-P

You don't get it, man. You have to put on whiteout before you
apply blackface. Otherwise, the makeup just won't work ...

Not at all, but I do believe that it is mostly comprised of whites.
Ditto with the other organization I mentioned, the KKK. They have some black members, albeit not as many as the NRA.

That's the problem with the left they mention many things that are nothing
more then baseless accusations, facts do not matter on the left, just
toss it out there and hope that the narrative sticks and not only sticks but creates as much chaos as it can, specially to Trump and his base.
How spot on am I? Took very little effort,
just like Rush -half of mind tied behind my back just to make it fare.

It's really not your fault, people on the Right will always be vastly
superior to anyone on the left. We don't see the hate that you see in Trump
(or in the world), we see him as a caring and compassionate patriot who loves his country and all of it's people who live within it. Look at unemployment, it's just good for white folks, it's breaking records for minorities, even female unemployment is down to historic levels.

The left way of thinking also goes beyond Trump too. Things like the civil war and Abraham Lincoln and his emancipation proclamation does not matter . Slavery happened and therefore America must be destroyed and people today still have a price to pay. Civil Rights also happened, but that don't matter
because blacks were at one point considered not as equal, and now they are equal and just as free as you or I. Again that does not matter because it
still happened and America has to be destroyed.

All you folks wanna do is talk about how bad things are, your party as no answers, you think Americans want to fund free health care to non-Americans
and pay for other people who are here illegally, the vast majority does not. These Presidential debates can not come fast enough, it's gonna be fun to
watch these wannabes dems get smoked by Trump.

You are dead on. I’ll never understand how people make broad assumptions with NO facts.

spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: Diversity <=-

It's really not your fault, people on the Right will always be vastly superior to anyone on the left.

That is a narcissistic point of view. The people on the right are not superior to the people in the middle nor the people on the left. They
all come from the same stock, albeit with differing experiences.

Yes people do have different experiences, this is the very moment that
is a defining moment, because it is what happens next with the selection of choice that makes them who they are. Which path will one take when presented with a choice. Will they always go left and play follow the leader or will they stand in place for a moment and consider and weigh all the information before moving onward with their section.

Do you blame other people for what is happening around you and take action to shape things to your own will. See what I mean?

We don't see the hate that you see in
Trump (or in the world), we see him as a caring and compassionate patriot who loves his country and all of it's people who live within it.

Learn to face that fact that Donald Trump is a failed business man who cares about nothing other than himself and wants for things to take him
to center stage. He cannot hold an opinion for more than a day before
he changes it. His views and pronouncements are dangerous.

Has something happened to the ice skating rink in NYC that Trump built?

Has something happened to Trump Tower that has caused it's doors to be
locked and now closed to the pubic?

Are the building that bare his name no longer standing?
No to all the above!

Everything is continuing as it has, and will continue to do so.

** Let me put this out to you, in this direct question.
What pronouncements are you suggesting to be considering as dangerous?
and also tell me why...

The left way of thinking also goes beyond Trump too. Things like the civil war and Abraham Lincoln and his emancipation proclamation does not matter . Slavery happened and therefore America must be destroyed

I have no idea what your point is here.

Curious, that you don't know of the Democrats wanting to destroy America.
There has been several dark chapters in our history - there also has been corrections and actions to come back from those dark chapters. Democrats say this is simply not good enough and America must be destroyed and be rebuilt within the Democrats own image, with things that include green new deals
making air traffic and airports to become relics of history, along with the
gas combustion engine also will be nothing more then a memory, and still it does not stop there they also want the American tax payer to pay for all of
the needs of illegals everything from housing and health care to food that
will also be provided that is free of any cost by these people who consume them, even providing free education of their young as well as providing higher learning at colleges throughout America.

The American Dream is not something that should be given out for free.
It is something that is obtained through hard work.

and people today still DS> GD> have a price to pay. Civil Rights

also happened, but that don't matter DS> DS> Civil rights happened thanks to a Democrat President.

True but the Democratic Party of those days is not the same Democratic party of today, the needle is buried far left today, then it has ever has been before. Those ideals of that time have more in common with Republican views then the Democratic views of today.

Slavery also happened and the Democrats own that also.

We are trying to keep America from being destroyed by Trump.

The Democrats accusations are baseless, there is no evidence of any harm to America, This is due to a fragmentation causing this clinch within the Democratic mind, it is a unforeseen error to believe that the efforts and actions of President Trump is somehow causing harm.
- They can't see or acknowledge how low unemployment is positive.
- They can't see or acknowledge how fare trade deals are positive.
- They can't see or acknowledge how the economy is better then ever before.
- They can't see or acknowledge how manufacturing and energy are now back.

The Democratic mind can not process or be allowed to see, all of the good that is happening around them under this President.

Alright, then answer me this. Why did every single democrat running for the office of the President raise their hand when asked.
Should America provide free health care to every illegal migrant that crosses into the United States of America? Oh didn't I knew about that little tid bit of information? Did you. Think Again..

They are kind of hard NOT to pay attention to with all the insane things

You're wasting your time. The lefties in Fido are the same as the lefties in the democrat press/congress/education system; Their minds are locked on one thing only; Trump bad....impeach....RussiaRussiaRussia......


The lefties in congress and those lefties on the stump for 2020 right now are all singing the same song. I've noticed over the years that lefties hollar about health care should be free....college should be free.....


What they don't mention is where the money to pay for all this is to come
from.


They want health care for a bunch of assholes who crashed over our southern border to be free....we should educate illegals for free....we should
subsidize their housing.....and on and on....


What you *never* see or hear one of these brickbats ever mention is `where all the money to pay for this free stuff is gonna come from.


The answer to that is: the taxpayers! They never mention that.
