Welcome to Donald Trump’s version of America. Is this how you envisioned it?
Trump was at it again with his “thoughts and prayers.” Enough of them already. How about doing something rather than just thinking and praying? I mean do something other than blame it all on Obama and Maxine Waters.
On Friday, Trump said “Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their jobs.” That was rich, coming from the guy who attacks them every single day.
Trump needs to understand that there are many stupid people out there that believe every word of his stupid speeches. He may know that they are silly campaign rhetoric, but not everyone does.
One thing about Donald Trump — he always picks the best candidates for positions in our government. You can count on him picking a Supreme Court judge that will do great things for future generations. Our children will be thankful for choice made by our president Trump. He is the working man’s best friend.
Trey Gowdy on Trump-Russia Investigation. “Whatever you got, finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart.” Trey Gowdy on Benghazi Investigation. “I don’t give a damn whose career is impacted, we’re going to find out what happened.”
Mrs. Trump made a second visit to the border and was so surprised by what she saw. She said that “it was incredible and very sad that young children are found at the border without their families.” Does she not know their HER husband is the one responsible for separating this kids from their parents?
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled people don’t have to pay any dues if they elect to not join a union which represents their shop, I fully expect unions to sue to end laws requiring then to represent these freeloaders. These anti-union folks are so sure they’d be better off going it alone without a union. I say we let them learn how wrong they are in the harshest terms.
Vladimir Putin assures Donald Trump, who says he believes him, that Russia had nothing to do with the 2016 election. Oh, well, that clears that up. It doesn’t matter that every single one of our intelligence services says that they had a lot to do with it. It doesn’t matter that several of Trump’s associates have pleaded guilty to lying about it. Trump’s gullible millions believe only Trump.
Read the article about rent and housing costs, and how minimum wage workers can’t afford them. The call is to raise the hourly rate to counter this. These liberals just don’t get it, and is the reason they are being voted out. They are unable to realize that minimum wage jobs are a first step in life, not a final destination. Continuing education in college or trade schools will make you more employable and get you the higher wages. It’s called “motivation” and “drive.” If you want things in life, work hard and go earn them, like the vast majority of people in the country.
I have a question for the Trump supporter here in Northwest Indiana: Do you really not understand the difference between asking a shill who’s made a career by lying and condescending in defense of a racist to leave a restaurant, and refusing to do business with a couple because they are gay? Do you honestly not get that there’s a difference between putting kids in protective custody because their parent has been accused of a serious crime, and separating children from asylum seekers with no paper trail, due process, or plan for reunification? Pull the other one, buddy.
Why does the Chicago Police Department have to send 200 men to cover a march? Let the protesters march and send the police if there is a problem. Police presence usually starts any violence anyway.
Republicans want the Russian investigation closed. The Benghazi investigation was four times longer, Iran Contra five times and Whitewater seven times. All without indictment. This investigation has 10 and 5 guilty pleas so far. What’s their rush?
