    I'll give you April Fools day if you'll stop whining about how downtrodden you are.

    I have no reason to think he is not a billionaire. He certainly lived like one. But you are certainly free to believe something else.

    So you only imagined Satanic soul-selling. Noted.

    I never said whites are downtrodden, just left out of the equality and inclusiveness that tolerant leftists everywhere are so well-known for appearing to practice. (Stated differently, hair-on-fire hysteria and hyperbole served up in cut-and-paste unoriginality. But I digress!)

    Even the U.S. Census projections say whites will no longer be the majority within this century. I knew that in the 1960s. It made sense with many families having fewer kids to afford college for the ones they had.

    It also didn't matter if whites lost "majority." What mattered would be the attitude of whichever group did seize power afterward. I live among a sizable segment of Mexican-Americans, the hardest-working people I know. (True Tex-Mex food is a delight.) I believe they will fairly treat all races equally. Asians? The same.

    The rest? Who are the left trying to excuse for violence, murder, property damage, financial losses to businesses and individuals? I don't know and don't care how big a segment they represent. All I know is I am glad I'm too old to ever see what they do if they ever get the national reins in their grimy little hands.

    Depends on one's perspective. As Johnson said when it was launched, ''The war on poverty is not fought on any single, simple battlefield and it will not be won in a generation. There are too many enemies: lack of jobs, bad housing, poor schools, lack of skills, discrimination; each intensifies the other.''
    It's not a binary matter of winning or losing. Nor should the failings of the economy be included in the judgement on the program. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people benefited from it due to programs like Head Start, Job Corps, Vista, Upward Bound, Foster Grandparents, Community Action. People of good will tried to lift up those living in poverty while others like yourself, by way of discrimination, were pulling them down.

    Unfortunately, we have all seen what happened when the Trump's got the national reigns of power in their greedy little hands ...
    plagues, highest National Debt increase in history, a recession, high unemployment, negative GDP, lots of golf and money funneled to his private business ... wish I had't been around to see what happens when a game show grifter became President.
    Crap happens.

    It would take a serious money-waster to plow through even 100 million. Unless you had your own Presidential-sized jet and a whole bunch of real estate where rich folks hang out. Yeah, sounds like he's selling pencils AND apples on the street corner! Meanwhile, unlike Obama, Trump donates his White House salary to varying charities.

    You want to brag on Obama's economy be my guest.

    I don't think it's Trump's fault so much of the country was/is shut down. When businesses shut down you have unemployment -- duh. I give Trump a pass because I'm not someone who blames him for everything bad -- like the MSM loves to do.

    Unemployment from ignorant Democrat governors refusing to reopen businesses. And schools, which if nothing else babysit our brats while we bring home the bread and bacon. Congress with nearly half being Democrats approved those deficits, including $600/month payouts and $1,000 payouts. (I haven't kept current.) Every President including Obama played lots of golf. It gets you and your business deals away from the long-distance microphones, those people with you in your well-isolated cart.

    Speaking of grifters, the Obamas have a $64 million combined book advance. It's her first and his THIRD autobiography, reportedly two volumes thick.

    They needed the extra volume for all his self-references. I, me, my, and the like.

    Wait. Arent you a collectivist?

    News flash, collectivism over individualism is inherently by force and contrary to human nature.

    If a pic is worth 1000 words then this should be a real time saver.

    Only on the SCOTUS issue.
    Biden will follow Obama’s notion that strict constructionist views on the Constitution are dated and stupid and that it is a living document subject to change as we find appropriate to contemporary mores.
    If it is not a blueprint then what is?

    Wall progress is slow due to 'resist!'ers obstructing funding. No one ever expected Mexico to write us a check.

    Trump never suggested he would try to oppress LGBxyz, nor did anyone I'm aware of vote for that to happen.

    I love how the Dems reject every immigration proposal that doesnt open the border and then claim its Trump 'flipflopping'...

    Trump neutered Obamacare by killing the Individual mandate. Thats all I ever wanted. If you like your Obamacare you can keep your Obamacare. Trump just wont let you force me to help you pay for it.

    Our allies arent testing as much as we are, nor are they counting possible infections as confirmed infections, nor motorcycle crashes and terminal cancer deaths as Cvirus. Have you looked at Cvirus deaths this year vs total deaths this year vs average total deaths per year? If not, you should.

    Statues are a local issue. If they vote to remove the statue, Trump cant do **** about it. The National issue is law and order. Angry mobs destroying **** isn't 'race relations.' Its just crime.

    Remember you're talking about our 'Sadam Hussein has WMDs' and 'Afghanistan attacked NY' intelligence services. I trust Russia a bit more than the MIC as well.

    Did Trump ever claim he wanted to overturn Roe vs Wade?

    Trump is one thing- America First instead of globalism. This is supposed to be the 'Chinese Century' where American Individualism is sold out to Chinese Collectivism. This was portrayed as innevitable. We elected Trump because its not innevitable, if we have a govt that doesnt want it to be. Thats Trump.

    And FTR I voted for Trump purely because he was and still is the least likely candidate to go along with the erosion of my personal political priority- the 2A. I like other things about him, but I always vote on that first.

    Keep clinging to your "conservative values" as socialist/communist slowly chip away at your freedom. I support Trump because of the folks that hate him. Establishment elites and socialists hate him because he stands in their way. These folks created the propaganda you are spewing but I am sure your "conservative values" make you feel all warm and toasty.

    The "mind" of a so called "Trump supporter" is kind of like a big sponge.
    It absorbs completely whatever vile aqueous concoction spills out of the mouths of Limbaugh, Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham and the like.
    Once the "mind" of a "Trump supporter" has been sufficiently filled,
    Trump knows without any doubt in his mind what-so-ever, that all he has to do is repeat out loud (or Tweet) any of the "alternative truths"
    that have already been soaked up by the Trump supporter's "mind" and voila!!!
    Trump becomes their God!

    It isn't Trump himself that is supported as much as it is the hatred for those who oppose Trump. Have you ever wondered why support for Trump gets stronger when some BS propaganda against Trump is spewed? It is not support for Trump but hatred and opposition of the ones doing the spewing.

    The American people are tired of political elitist globalists taking their jobs and freedoms. The liberal progressives are nothing but a power hungry mob. So when these folks show their hatred for Trump the American people rally behind him.

    Re:
    I didn't even have to look at your list of Trump's failings to answer as several others have.

    Because anyone other than possibly a 3rd Party alternative would be worse.

    So you're saying they don't necessarily support Trump....but they're hoping Trump will somehow punish people who oppose him (or you).
    Correct?

    I'll chime in, it isn't about punishing those people, it is about stopping their far-left agenda. So called "social democracy" may as well be communism - from each as to their ability to pay, to each as to whatever they desire.

    Can't help wonder if you would ever consider blaming Trump for anything at all...
