    Trump tells it as it is and calls 'em the way he sees 'em with no spin, PC or embellishment. Drives the Democrats absolutely crazy.

    The problem is that doesn't take into account what the Fed dollars are being spent on.....,military bases? Federal prisons? national parks etc......it would be better understood if that was broken down. We know for example, most federal welfare is spent in Cali...

    That would be largely for two reasons, 1st most of them were run by Democrats until about 25 years ago, and 2nd most of the difference comes from the fact that red States have most of the active military bases.

    That's an interesting comment given that most of the attacks from the left indicate that had they been in power they believe they would have been.

    nope. it's due to the fact that blue states are much more populated, and have much better GDP than red states. Largely due to red state policies. See Governor Brownbacks great "Kansas experiment" for a direct result of republican economic policies.

    In fact Kansas was better off than it used to be it is predominantly rural and agricultural. It's never been rich and it's never going to be rich.

    By the way most of those tax dollars come into help fund federal programs that those states can't afford and don't want anyway

    lol Kansas became a complete train wreck after the governor implemented his great read state experiment. It happens everywhere it's tried, and is even worse at the federal level.

    No it didn't. That is largely a Democratic myth.

    Well when you start asking loopy about random things, one starts to wonder..

    And I feel I was more then fair when I was a mod in applying the rules that so many seem to feel are optional.

    Schumer threatened Trump three years ago...And he is doing so now... Hell its never really stopped.

    You not knowing that quote from three years ago that pretty much launched the RESIST movement is not on me.

    No. The fact that you've clung to it for so long is, though.

    I guess I'm not one to hold onto the past myself.

    And "political threats" against the guy on top is as old as humanity. Most of those at the top realized that returning fire only legitimizes the original sender.

    Having a POTUS who's petty simply makes the whole country look petty.

    I will keep this in mind any time you bring up a topic more then a few days old.. Wouldnt want to "cling" onto anything would you... /facepalm

    Hint the IC is not supposed to be political and they work under the President NOT against him.

    Yeah 3 years is totally the same as a few days. Makes total sense.

    And the IC works for America's interests. Not one individual. Not their fault the country elected such a moron.
