Tired of trump apologists. Some time in the future you will deny you ever supported trump. Just a matter of when that happens. No need to be an apologists when i agree with him. No i will never deny i supported Trump. After all after 8 years of the last president we finally have one that puts the US first. could you please tell us of specific instances where Obama put himself first? And no, the order by the International Court for the return of the money to Iran doesn't count. |

And no, the order by the International Court for the return of the money to Iran doesn't count. Yes it does. We should have told the International Court to kiss our ass cause we're 'Merica! We could go with Solandra which I hear brought up frequently. Course if you bother to actually do some research this was not a "Obama" thing it was part of a government wide grant program to explore alternative energy. The company won the contract fair and square. Since they did not deliver and it happened under a black president clearly it's 100% Obama's fault. If it had been a coal company and Trump funding it, even if they failed he'd be hailed as a marvelous success because he's looking out for 'Merica. |

indeed. thus the suggestion. I was going to say "maybe lose the hat, too", but it is up to you.
I don't live and die for my political views. I am aware that there is little I can do to change anything, and I have no need to feel solidarity. I am happy being alone in my perspective. I don't need any group hugs. if you don't like the fact that I am a gun loving, consensual crime decriminalizing, fiscal conservative, anti-war liberal, you can find yourself someone who cares. 
i don't live and die for my political views also...but i think i do support them. I should be able to do so without harassment or being threatened. I agree completely. which is why I tend to conceal my political positions. I don't want to risk a confrontation with some lunatic. my views are not worth risking my life for.

You really should realize by now that "Make America Great Again" has nothing to do with America itself. It is all about Trump and his ability to con the weak-minded. It is about making America great for a certain subset of the population that is terrified they are losing the grip they have held over the world for the past 500+ years. Trump will take us back to the good old days when women, brown people and gays knew their place. He'll take us back to a time where those uppity foreign people didn't think they were as good or better than us and all we need is a strong man on the assembly line to get'er done. It's not so much weak minded it is that, if nothing else, Trump is a very skilled marketer and showed up on the scene at just the right moment in history. Humans want to belong and that particular subset feels it's being eroded. Trump spoke to that and unfortunately they organized well enough that he rode the wave into office. That being said Trump will die eventually. Eventually Mitch McConnell and his cronies will die will die. No matter how hard they try to wind back the clock it's never going to go back to some 1950's imaginary utopia. If I have to sit and wait for the world to change one funeral at a time so be it. Considering they are all 70+ and I'm only 36 it should happen within my lifetime. you won't have to wait long. that man is seriously unhealthy, despite what his "doctor" says. |

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Sees New Polls and Orders Ukraine to Investigate Elizabeth WarrenBy Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—After looking at the most recent polls for the Democratic Presidential race, Donald J. Trump has ordered the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate Senator Elizabeth Warren. “What Elizabeth Warren and her crooked kids have been doing in Ukraine is a disgrace,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn. “This is maybe the biggest scandal in the history of our country.” After Jim Acosta, of CNN, pointed out that there had been no reports of any involvement in Ukraine on the part of either Warren or her children, Trump responded, “You bet there’s been no reporting, because you people are even more crooked than she is.” Trump brushed aside an official statement by the Ukrainian government indicating that Warren’s children had never set foot in the country. “That is because the Warren kids are basically spies, and everyone knows that spies are invisible,” he said. “You people are so dumb.” Rest of article here: Trump Sees New Polls and Orders Ukraine to Investigate Elizabeth Warren

a little suggestion: maybe stay away from bumper stickers, unless you live far away from urban areas. I'm in the country...i will say a lil over a year ago my wife and i were out she was wearing her maga shirt a man came up to her shouting racist and waving a stick (more like a board). I let him get 5 feet from her then put my 380 in his face he backed down quickly. I would have shot him if he took one more step. He left. People are crazy.Yes, people are crazy if they want to shoot someone for waving a stick. |

Trump has extremely negative value as a human being. We will be far better off with him gone. Deal with it. |

While I will readily agree that one of us deserves to be pitied, it is assuredly not me.
ETA: You recognize, don't you, the symbolism from before? Trump's insistence on the lie that he saw Muslims celebrating and dancing on rooftops after 9/11? The man could not tell the truth against his own interests if his life depended on it.

No, I didn't miss the point at all. You want to brag about how tough you are with your gun. I know plenty of gun owners who are responsible and mature, and don't feel the need to waive it around. If they do need to unholster it, they don't feel the need to tell us all about it. Guns are like penises. They're useful tools, but I don't wanna see you waving it around. |

Msn opinion pieces are just that. It'll keep the target audience on the edge of their seats. "The rest of this report, right after these messages"  oh, I know that...just an opinion that might save the Republican party from their suicide mission. Just anything. |

Not at all. It's 'inquiry' at this point. Impeachment proceedings come after. You'll get there. As an aside, your linking a different statement than you originally posted vs this post. Reading comprehension and all. And if you actually bothered to read the link (beyond the headline), you’d have found the exact same quote. But I understand. trump supporters cannot bother to read anything except headlines. So to save you the effort, here is the full quote. Note that she cited the law.... “Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election. This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation. Our Founding Fathers sounded the alarm about 'foreign Interference, Intrigue, and Influence.' They knew that when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to advance their own interests, not America's. Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation. Any political campaign that receives an offer of a prohibited donation from a foreign source should report that offer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation." The law Weintraub cites in her in her statement is 52 U.S.C. Section 30121 (a)(2), which reads: "It shall be unlawful for a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation... from a foreign national." www.newsweek.com/following-trump-comments-federal-election-commission-chair-clarifies-law-foreign-contributions-1443948Here you go.

I'm in the country...i will say a lil over a year ago my wife and i were out she was wearing her maga shirt a man came up to her shouting racist and waving a stick (more like a board). I let him get 5 feet from her then put my 380 in his face he backed down quickly. I would have shot him if he took one more step. He left. People are crazy. Oooooh, you're so cool!!!! Swoooon!!! Why is it that certain gun owners feel the need to relay stories about how tough they are with their guns? It helps counter balance all those who feel a need to relay gun control stories ? He let this nut get within 5 feet ? Waving a board ? If it was my DW, he wouldn't of got that far. |
