    I agree with most of this; however within a principled electorate who care deeply how their democratic right to cast a vote is used, who they have to opt for as an alternative if the only options are those we have seen? I suggest that's why those millions don't vote, because neither political extreme represents their interests.

    Are you enjoying the 'beautiful sight' of a White House in chaos, opposition to the President from staunch Republicans, his security agencies and an imploding administration, twisting itself into a pretzel? We are.

    Its impossible for the President to leak classified information, because he has the ultimate responsibility for information classification. He can choose to classify information or declassify it at will.

    That's it right there. You are telling me who, and what I am, instead of asking what I think. That sums up the progressive mind, and why it was jettisoned in Nov. Progs have their own form of racism......painting everyone into separate little boxes. And to add insult to injury, Progs are the first to point the finger of blame. All the while not taking note of anyone else's opinion. Because "They" are helping the "uneducated".

    I just get tickled when people like you blurt out "progs" in every sentence.

    While the GOP offered up the "same ole same ole" during primary season, the did at least offer 17 potential nominees ... The DNC, offered up only 2, and of course, really only 1 ... IMO, both parties give disproportionate support for those candidates most able to draw financial support from "big donors". Taxpayer funds, "matching funds" were set aside long ago to counter "big donor" influence. No one, not even Sanders, has ever utilized that provision. Politicians on both sides don't like "prying eyes" in campaign fund-raising. Rand Paul, who I disagree with frequently, is perhaps the only in DC with any integrity at all

    He's cutting Meals on Wheels and home heating assistance.. but he's building up the military.

    Do you remember Trump's theme during his campaign.. He stressed that America was a mess and HE could fix it.

    He ran a campaign that broke new ground in American politics; promise whatever and have zero plan of delivering it. Unless you actually believe we can spend a trillion on infrastructure, actually increase military spending, and insure every man, woman, and child in the nation… All while building a wall that someone else will pay for.

    He’s not the first to make promises; that isn’t what I’m saying so forget about mis-characterizing my post. What he did do first is promise things that any form of logic would conclude would be impossible.

    He’s cutting all sorts of “hidden” things. There is a program that makes it economical to fly into airports that are not popular destinations.

    http://reason.com/blog/2017/03/16/trump-budget-ends-subsidies-for-rural-ai

    The subsidy allows airlines to serve these non-profitable areas and allows citizens in those cities—some are actually pretty large—the “luxury” of air service. Is it the end of the world? No. Is it something that will save money? Yes. How much? Glad you asked. It costs the citizens about $0.65 each to have this service. For that money, you get untold hundreds of jobs in everything from pilots, to flight attendants to baggage handlers, to taxi drivers etc… Good jobs that are going bye-bye to save you $0.65.

    Last week Trump said US airports were crappy compared to the rest of the world. His comparison used the term "third world"...

    Remember .. everything in America is terrible and only Trump is smart enough to fix it.

    I doubt the US will ever find a way to provide universal coverage ... $1 trillion in infrastructure, provided it's done incrementally is feasible. The socio-economic implications associated with illegal immigration, border security, suggest implementation will offset construction costs through reduced expenditures incurred supporting illegal aliens. Pandering is a political staple, nothing "new ground" left ...

    Pandering with actual pork is a time-honored tradition. Pandering with BS is not. Okay, how many illegals do you think live in, oh, Los Angeles?

    “I’m going to take care of everybody”…lie.
    “Mexico is going to pay for the wall”….lie.
    “The election is rigged”…lie.
    “You’d be in jail” as he said to Mrs. Clinton: Lie.
    Can’t wait until those families making less than $50K a year get to pay $0.00 in taxes as he promised.

    Yours is a nonsensical statement. No one has a "microwave." Many people have a microwave oven, but she never mention microwave ovens.

    I'd imagine if we eliminated social programs, huge tax cuts across the board, could be achieved. Even possibly reverse illegal immigration completely, for free ... It all comes down to making the tough choices.

    Lets say you get rid of 75% of that; 1.5 million people. The economic offset is fine as long as you recognize the economic impact of losing 1.5 million consumers who pay sales taxes, hire others to cut their hair, do their nails, fix their furnace, etc.. And while LA may not miss 5% of it’s population or whatever it is; smaller towns where illegals make up larger % of their population will.

    Can’t wait to see all of the property taxes being reduced due to fewer students, fewer people in hospitals, fewer people on the roads, etc… When do you think that is going to happen? 10 minutes from never.

    The offsets are only there to give the deportations a broader purpose. You’re not going to save a dime. I think, deep down, most Trump supporters know that.

    EBT…

    There are taxes on things like toothpaste, soda, cigarettes, gasoline, etc. You know; things that we all buy. Losing 1.5 million consumers is not good for anyone’s economy. And again, when the taxes that fund all of the stuff you say will magically be rehabilitated go down; I’ll be the first to say I was wrong.

    Typical Democratic lie tactics. To quote Stephen Colbert, falsely claim to be quoting Conway, and then rant based on that lie.

    Microwaves are used to eavesdrop. I guess you don't know that.

    The MSM relies on the stupidity of many people to make their lies work.
