Yes it is, quite literally their version of the Tea Party. While I admire how the Tea Party organized and became a political force, their candidates S.U.C.K.

Scott Brown
Mike Lee
Rand Paul
Tim Scott
Marco Rubio
Ted Cruz
Mike Pence

To name a few and do you know2 what they all have in common?

Each denounced Trump as not only unfit to be President, but also a wretched human being, yet because they were so upstanding, country first, wed to their Christian, morale and ethical standards, threw all of that aside, and supported him, because he won an election. Spineless Bastards!!

Lesser of two evils.

Let me make this point one more time.

The news = Who, what, when, where, and how. Sometimes we get a follow-up detailing the same.

News programing = talking heads offering opinions about the news ( Also dominated by right wingers/Republicans)

TWO VASTLY DIFFERENT THINGS! C'mon Dad, you know this!!

Now maybe there aren't as many positive stories about Trump because they truly don't exist! Imagine that! The ONLY reason why people like him at all is because they are getting in exchange.

1.Court appointments

2. Destruction of the last attempt at providing health care since, F. Roosevelt.

3.Attempting to stir up that part of a Caucasian populace who's deathly afraid of 2044, the year in which they become the minority in this country.

4. Overturning, unions

5. Reinforcing the criminalization of weed despite evidence that suggests that the general population overwhelmingly approves of it's use.

6. Is indeed a wretched human being (and I personally question his humanity)

7. Greed over country

8. Acceptance of applying law without justice.

So many more but I'll stop here.

1- court appointments...I said were more important than the POTUS during primaries.

2- either everybody is covered or everybody pays their own.

3- Nobody really gives a shit about this except black people.

4- I am a member of a union and support them. I do not support them in government service.

5- Except that hasn’t happened.

6- Question it all you want...we all do.

7- Bullshit.

8- Doing his actual job...unlike Congress.

What's he done other than not be Obama

Show me one thing that Trump has done to alter the trend line of the Obama's economy. Certainly not the tax cut, and damned sure not the tariffs. What's he done other than not be Brown? Confidence being subjective, that and greed are the only reasons why, there seems to be more energy in the economic engine.

If you've read or have been informed by your tax preparers, you will know that next year, those benefits some are raving about (on average about $100) go away. The cuts for people like myself become permanent and the trickle down economy begins. The only problem is, trickle down doesn't work, never has and never will. Want to know why? Well, people with real money tend to keep it.

If you really want to get a "real time" measure of how well this economy is doing stay focused on wages!

Tax cuts have helped unless you believe in coincidence. Tariffs look like they will help in the long run. Reduced regulations.

That 100 per month is more than we ever got from any democrap.

Trickle down has always worked...far better than socialism. Stay focused on wages which have gone up more under Trump than the other guy...plus the tax break for people not like me. I am getting screwed by the tax cuts but perhaps my union will work it out.

You do realize, the majority of Americans still are not in favor of the wall right?? You would think after the President explaining in detain how the Mexicans are bound and determined to destroy us, and how hey are only here to r*pe and kill our women, that would change.
I hope you’re smarter than this and that you’re only goofing. You can’t honestly take what he said “they’re rapist and murderers that we’re letting in unchecked” and believe with a straight face that he literly meant every single person. I understand that the left wing media ran with it with complete aghast that how dare he say that everyone.. blah blah blah... but you should be smarter and not twist things just to meet your own needs of reason. .. and therein lies fake news. Its real its there and it aint going away, and when a dem takes office again the otherside will start in with their own fake shit. Be smarter with what you take for serious.. everyone.

As far as a wall.. Im sure even with that illegals will enter via some other way.. more tunnels .. more of about everything imaginable. Unless it replicates the great wall of china then really whats the point.

Just to be in understanding. There are more rapist and murderers and drug pushers that enter illegally than those that enter with legal papers. Its simple math. Those that enter illegally have nowhere to go more often than not. Street bound. Less job opporunity with good pay. Fall into gangs more often. Now I have no data to back those claims up im just basing it on logic reasoning.

To summarize: Trump never claimed that all Mexicans were criminals. More illegals fall into that life style as appose to those that enter well documented. This is why entering legally is so important. All the guy really is trying to say.

Sorry dude, you just dont get to rebrand racism and make it more user friendly. I consider the slogans as well as the Rebel flag nothing more than a call to white nationalists. I fully believe he was aware of where these slogans got their origin, and is more than willing to deal in concepts of white fear and white nationalist concepts to further his agenda. That might or might not make him a racist, it damn sure makes him a race baiter. As I have said, I voted for him because I hoped he would grow into the President for all Americans..... IM simply not seeing that. And I think alot of his supporters are choosing to ignore it.

I'm calling BS

this debate has gone on for MONTHS and this is the first any of these images have been shared... Its safe to assume you just found these images recently when seeking out your confirmation bias.

I also think that you are giving the average American a bit too much credit in assuming they are going to make the connection between his slogan and a periodical from 1970.

On a side note its pretty wild that there is someone out there digging through periodicals to draw a crazy connection between the 2. That to me is pretty unhinged.

I'd also like to believe I'm more informed than the average voter and when I hear that slogan I see it as a shot at Bush/Obama

Yet not a fucking peep about the white guy who killed his wife and two daughters because he had a side piece.

I remember feeling this way on a near daily basis during the last couple years of the Obama administration

I agree that the divide was already there in some areas. BUt Trump has made a decided choice to feed into it.

One of the top reasons why I believe Obama was a piss poor leader and president

Redskins 53-man roster projection after Week 3 of preseason

there isnt a 92 to 8 descrepency sty the MSM is slanted to the left and has been in attack mode since he won the nomination

if you buy the MSM
The news = Who, what, when, where, and how. Sometimes we get a follow-up detailing the same.

News programing = talking heads offering opinions about the news ( Also dominated by right wingers/Republicans)

then you are blind . publishing stories that are known not to be sourced and then turn out to be false isnt reporting the news with who what when and why its making shit up

how come almost no coverage on lynch / clinton meeting fusion GPS steele mccabe , strzok , page rosenstein or ohr . the clinton foundation , the fake dossier , the democratic primary fix , the emails , benghazi fast and furious , the IRS scandal . what did obama mean by flexibility on the open mic or the illegal email server ? not a whole lot of who what when and where going on there

funny how the MSM just brushed over antifa violence . funnt they brush over 4 .1 % growth. i make more money and pay less taxes

far too long the supreme court has made laws instead of interpreting them

HRC is the epitomy of what you said above

Also you cant just dismiss "News Programming" as opinion driven entertainment by talking heads.... these "News" Programs also shape and form public opinion which drives action

An example I have used before.

When the Redskins were bent over backwards by the NFL via textbook collusion and had $30 million in salary cap stolen from them would this have been the case if...

1) bountygate wasnt at the peak of its investigation thus relegating this collusion to below the fold or back page
2) the rutgers coach was a meaney to his basketball players and yelled at them see 1)
3) the collective media did not hate the Redskins/Snyder because a hand full of middle aged white men found the word more offensive than most native american tribes

media drives public opinion which drives action.... this includes fake news

Bush hates black people’/bush blew up the levies’ bush knew or was involved in 9/11am. Sorry, but 49% of DEMOCRATS believed that by 2006

Seems like anyone who isn’t a liberal gets smeared by this and time after time the MSM sells it and the sheep buy it

Comparing job numbers in this fashion is the equivalent of comparing skinny people losing weight to fat people. It is a lot easier to go from shit upward. You have to compare recoveries to other recoveries...how did O compare?
