    We were always willing to pay for the wall.

    That is the point you are missing.

    We just want it built. We don't care what Trump said about paying for it as long as its built.

    Please explain to us how departing from trade agreements over 50% of the world is involved in is good news, or how America is being looked at as a laughing stock as good news. Stacking the courts with conservative picks? You're celebrating over cancer. Economy increasing? Where are you getting your information, Fox News? Ford and Carrier just laid off people.

    Seriously, get off the Kool-Aid. You are looking quite Spooky indeed.

    Yes, the wall will go up and we won't have to worry about a white majority becoming a minority. The wall will be an end-all solution to illegal immigration. Come on dude, think with your head here. No one seriously believes illegal immigration will die off with a concrete barrier. Trump's already wastefully spent dollars on ICE.

    Your argument depends on the faulty notion that the two are mutually exclusive. You ignore the (frankly obvious) possibility that NEITHER are doing their jobs.

    Those trade agreements are unfair.

    America is not a laughing stock, that is a made up leftist lie.

    Yes conservative picks on courts will be great.

    Yes the economy is increasing, you can check all economic indicators and they are all going up.

    Nobody is claiming it will end it but it will help.

    The dinosaur fossil fuel industry is always going to be calmer with a Republican president. They know no legislation will get passed to replace fossil fuels with alternative energy, so that would explain the lower prices at the pump. It's reason you're seeing more Hummers than Nissan Leafs.

    Anyone who looks at the historic ruling in 2015 knows this is why we need a leftist SC. The SC made the LGBT community more welcome in America.

    Made up leftist lie? I guess the Trump roosters don't exist in China and Germany, and Trump gets nothing but praise in Der Spiegel.

    We aren't replacing fossil fuels because its too expensive.

    It was a conservative court that gave the LGBT more rights, not a leftist one.

    It was a conservative court that gave you Obamacare.

    Its a leftist court who always vote to take away your guns.

    Its a leftist court that always votes to take away your religion.

    The dying baby boomer generation, that's going into retirement? This reminds me of a special last year I saw that the people, the age group Trump resonated with most were senior citizens, those alive during the proclaimed "Golden Age of America." Why do you think they should be kept in the closet then?

    By not doing anything, we're not going to make headwinds in the right direction away from fossil fuels. This dinosaur has to die.

    I don't want guns in the hands of crazy people, and I don't use any god as a crutch. So, really those objections are like flat soda.

    It doesn't need to die, we are doing just fine.

    Peoples life expectancy is increasing not decreasing, there is no great threat.

    And who are crazy people?

    People you don't like?

    Do you think religious people are crazy people?

    Sorry but until they break a law they have the right to have a gun but you would walk around and decide who gets them.

    That sounds like a crazy person to me.

    I really have no idea what you are trying to say in this post. Anyway, my point is that you shouldn't assume that your brand of morality is shared universally. In other words, not everyone shares your sentiment that the LBGT community is to be embraced.

    Balto is apparently a liberal who thinks he can impart all his values on the rest of us.

    The mentally ill? You have to wait until there's a mass shooting to determine who gets them? Are we just asking for another Holmes?

    I don't think of religious people as crazy people, they can be extremists and radicals. I wouldn't use an increase in life expectancy as a reason not to change what we run our cars off of.

    Congrats? Even people with those characteristics still make bad choices from time to time. Supporting Trump is a bad decision.

    Then what are you basing it off of?

    Cost?

    Fossil fuels are far cheaper.

    As for guns, who puts you in charge of who has them? Can you predict who will commit a mass shooting?

    I missed you in that episode of Lost.

    A progressive by definition wants change, they can be either conservative or liberal.

    You are not conservative whatsoever.

    Those do include EO and 10 of them were ceremonial acts.

    conservatives should try to pass good bills that their own party can support rather then more tax cuts for the rich that many do not support

    heard Trump plans on shutting down government if he doesn't get his way.... do republicans support that?

    Fossil fuels are cheaper because they are more subsidized more than alternative energy.
