The most dangerous thing in a democracy is one-party rule. I’m an independent moderate who votes both ways. With one-party rule and dictatorships, the first thing they do away with is the free press and they control the news. Russia and any dictatorship has done it. Our Republican Party keeps saying fake news, while their leader, President Donald Trump, is the worst person to push out fake news. They claim everybody else is doing it. Then, after they get rid of the news, they pack the courts with people that believe the way they believe, which has been going on for a while. Then you have no freedom. . .

Wow. After eight years of former President Barack Obama, a liar in chief in the White House, it has been refreshing to have a president like Donald Trump who tells the truth. The press is trying to do everything they can to paint him as a liar. What hypocrites. . .
To those who keep touting the rising stock market and job growth under the current president — where were you from 2009-2016? The stock market rose every one of those years and jobs were added to the economy, too. The year 2017 was the ninth straight year of a rising stock market and job growth. It didn’t just start with the current guy in the White House. It was happening before he got there.

You can count on liberals to complain about anything. They complain even when they’re going to have more money in their pockets.
