I have supported any president who is in office. Might not agree with all their policies but I don't spew out made up shit because my FNE (fav network everrrr) feeds me a can of Campbell Soup Cream of Chunky Soup of Lies.

Fascist, racist, russian spy, rapist, nazi, bigot, homophobe and a host of other names you guys have called him. You should hear yourselves,,, really quite comical. Now arrogant Ima gonna have to agree with ya on.,, dude is that... but then most of our elected officials are. Obama was quite arrogant in his own right... and can somebody please tell him that he's not president anymore. Thanks.

Obama was called a fascist, Racist the N word, terrorist in hiding and some how I dont remember the outrage from the right. Oh wait, because it was coming from the right.

A man who tries to ban American citizens from serving their country because of their sexual preference is a homophobe and a bigot. A man who refuses to rent his properties to black people because they are black is a racist.

When elements of human decency become objects of financial profit, the odds that someone will decide to put profit over decency is bound to happen. The reason health care costs so much in this country is greed. The reason weed is still illegal on a federal level is greed.

I've taken note of the lack of humanity, "Greed" is something that every so-called "Christian" and non Christians alike should be working internally to eliminate, and yet...

Trump is not only arrogant, he is a bigot, egotistical, immature, self centered. These are his good qualities.

At the end of the day, Trump is all about Trump, first and foremost.

Well when your leaders live in houses that rival the size of a feudal lords palace, and they have more wealth than their entire congregation combined in most cases... Religion is no longer a calling, its a business. The best way to become a millionaire in this country is to sell a product that you dont pay taxes on, you sell it for 10% of your customers income, and they dont get to see the actual product until they die.

Question for everyone who still supports Trump and believes in the rule of law. Legal subpoenas are being issued and this president and his AG are either ignoring them or asking recipients to also ignore them, so here's my question, are we a country of laws or not? (liking them or not is not an option)

We are def not a country of laws... at least equally. If so, Smollett would be going to jail and Hillary would already be there. Tell me im wrong. Money power and status buy you a lot of liberties that you and me can only dream of.

So are you saying that because Smollett and HIllary were not put in jail, its OK for Trump to ignore the law, and tell others to do the same??

Also, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?? HIllary was NEVER proven guilty. and Smollett they dropped the charges.

I actually believe that in order for them to claim the tax exemption, they must first prove that there's a heaven and hell, that they have a unique connection to what (name the deity) has in mind ( a note or some public gesture from the same would do it) and that they have receipts that shows that any monies collected from the suc...ah.. I mean, parishioners is being invested in banks that support the community and said monies are being used in a manner that also supports the people who supports them. After all, how wealthy was the Christ, Buddah, Muhammad on earth and God, Allah, the multiple gods/deities of Hinduism or Buddhism respectively and all of the rest?

Regardless, he’s our president and im not gonna bitch and whine about him. If I decide hes not the president I want ill cast my vote to make a change. Its all I can do. Imo he has helped america get back on its feet. Jobs have come back and economy is growing. All good so far.. if it all goes south hopefully my vote will make a differece cuz certainly my voice wont.

You're wrong! We still have laws otherwise there would be no country to speak of, just a lawless territory. How small of you to revert to individual cases when the question was about the country.

Actually voting against him is the least one can do. Since it requires congress to pass the laws he wants to enact, your voice should count more than just once every four years. As for the economy, he has improved on an economy that was already headed in a positive direction. The Jobs rate was increasing before he took over. So reality is, he has managed ot NOT fuckup a rebuild that was already in process. Kudo's for that. But he got handed a decent situation coming in on both areas.

Hillary and Smollett. Its where we separate from common sense and they’re on my team so im in their corner. Innocent until proven guilty applies only to who you are.
Also, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?? HIllary was NEVER proven guilty. and Smollett they dropped the charges.

I agree and do support him as our President, just as I supported Obama. And this country is clearly in better shape economically under Trump. But this could be true under any fiscal conservative. I hope to use my vote on such a person other than Trump. One who can help to bring this country together, not continue to divide.

The following is from President Barrack Obama’s Facebook feed. In other words, the Democratic leader and President of the Free World is advocating learning from different opinions, including those who are critical of him.

Meanwhile, we have President Spraytan, prattling on and on against anybody who he even perceives to have slighted him - and his followers embrace it.

THAT’S what is wrong with the Republican party these days. The absence of anybody who say THIS:

“I’ve always loved weekends because they provide me with a little extra time to make my way through the books and articles I’d been meaning to dig into. Here are a handful articles I’ve read over the past few weeks that stuck with me.

Now, I don’t always agree with every single thing that’s in them and, in fact, occasionally they contain things that are critical of my record as president. But one of the thing I strive toward is finding smart, thoughtful writing from people who have a different political perspective than I do. These stories further my understanding about some key public policy challenges — like the economy, technology, and criminal justice. They provoke me to think about problems in a new way. And they remind me about the urgency of certain issues that deserve more attention than they often receive.

So for anybody looking to be part of a solution, I hope these articles will give you some fresh perspectives — and I’ll keep them coming in the weeks ahead.

Prove it. Find ONE post - just ONE - where you actually approved of anything that President Obama ever did.

I think you’re lying. Prove us all wrong.

As for the adjectives that are heaped upon President DumbDumb by his detractors, as my grandpappy used to say: if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it probably was grabbed in the pussy after being moved on like a bitch.

Oh, sorry, that was Abraham Lincoln.

Completely wrong again! So let's test this so-called, self appointed, "logical" mind. In a previous post you claimed to support the office of the president. This means that you have no particular allegiance to the persons holding that office correct?

I know this is unique to those of us that served. But the oath we took said to protect and uphold the constitution and the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. I missed the line where it said party or President... alot of folks apparently got a different oath.

I hope to use my vote on such a person other than Trump. One who can help to bring this country together, not continue to divide.

Just so that I'm clear, debt and deficits ONLY matter when there is a democrat in office correct? Unnecessary spending ONLY counts when there a democrat in office, again correct? For those who do not know what I'm talking about, here ya go:

The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio for Q4 2018 is 105%. That's the $21.974 trillion U.S. debt as of December 31, 2018, divided by the $20.865 trillion nominal GDP

This number is growing! Right now we are in the kind of OK range as a country, but this doesn't portend to be anything less than disastrous in the not too distant future. In fact, just about 81% of all economists are predicting a recession in 2020. How's that for the country being in better shape? BTW: Trump's no fiscal conservative, I am and I'm truly worried about the economic future of this country.
