    If Dems nominated Tulsi I would vote Dem. otherwise I have to vote Trump because I value our future. The Washington monument and Lincoln memorial might last a month under Biden. Won’t be long before the 1st A has a new clause including hate speech which ONLY impacts Conservatives since there is no such thing as hate speech if it comes from the mouth of a Leftist. And cancel culture will obliterate us. Social currency like in China will probably be addressed to control all this terrible “hate speech.”

    I voted Trump because Hillary and will vote Trump because Biden. It ain't no love affair but I always vote for the one that will hurt me the least. I haven't voted any other way since Reagan.

    Really ?

    The last three Republican presidents took office in the midst of economic growth and left a recession behind them.

    Under Obama, there have been 8 years of uninterrupted growth.

    Who's living in the White House while people are rioting?

    War on poverty? Fail. We have widespread poverty left over from Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and finally the Prince of Fresh Kenya.

    If Dems passed civil rights laws, then why are leftists rioting?

    Um ... isn't "honest repubs" an oxymoron?

    The GOP sold their souls to this devil. None of them deserve reelection.

    Is Trump really a billionaire?

    I've long suspected that the real reason that Trump refuses to disclose his tax returns is that they would show that he wasn't as well off as he claims. And let's not forget, he was born to money. If he'd been born to a working class or poor family, we probably never would have heard of him.

    Just the opposite. The leftists are the party of domination and anti-freedom and diminished liberty. Every damn regulation they pass encroaches upon my freedom. They want to control my money, they want to control what I can say, they want to control what I can own, they want to control my air conditioner, they want to "necessarily skyrocket" energy costs, they want to control every aspect of life. Hell, they even want to control what i can think. Government needs to have minimal regulations, but instead, the Democrat Party seeks to maximize government regulation and control of the citizens' lives and money.

    If I was not the majority, whether that would be race, sexual orientation, or whatever, there is no other country I would rather be in than the United States. Almost anyone can be successful here, all it takes is effort and perseverance and wise decisions. The fact that so many differing creeds, colors, beliefs, religions, and abilities have become successful is proof of that. And you can't deny that. You may focus on the few who refuse to be successful, but what won't be admitted is that their failure is squarely on themselves. Not society.

    So, as I have often stated on PF, this isn't a vote for Trump or Biden. This is a vote for ideological beliefs. Of course, the fact that Trump isn't afraid to battle back against the dem shills in the msm is a huge plus. Supreme Court appointments is another.

    You can legislate for equal treatment until the proverbial cows come home, but you can't legislate the prejudices in people's hearts.

    "Wahh! I need attention! Nobody loves me!"

    White people are not a minority. White men have held all power in this country since the founding. Only in the last few decades have women and ethnic minorities gained footholds in the corridors of power. Having a month to celebrate being white seems both oppressive and silly.

    Some of us say the same thing about liberals not deserving to burn oxygen. Your point here?

    Got copies of those "devilish" contracts, do you? Did Old Scratch hand you safety backups, just in case those flames licked Hell's records-vault?

    An honest Republican is not an oxymoron. Dull, yes, but no oxymoron. An honest liberal however is an impossibility. Sooner or later they realize they believe in too many conflicting things and the cognitive dissonance finally wrecks their brains. Guam tips over when THAT happens!

    Republicans only believe a few things. (I leave it to actual GOPe members to elucidate further!) They have far better defenses mentally than the whiny myopic left. They will win bigly this November.

    So it's OK to discriminate against whites by excluding them from something awarded to others? And the left calls this inclusionary? Having a month to celebrate Gender Identity Disorder is silly. Having a month for 12.4% of our population? Well, shucks...why NOT celebrate with a month for every major group?

    Dead Babies Month = April. The tax return that COULD have deducted for a newborn.

    You blamed Obama for the economy even though there were two wars and a full on recession on the the day before he took office. Why do you think snowflake Trump deserves to be given a pass?

    I wouldn't want to be LGBT no matter how well they were treated.

    Not cherry picking. Just a statement of fact. You blamed Obama for the economy despite the fact that there were two wars and a full on recession raging the day BEFORE he took office. Crap happens. It's part of being President. Trump doesn't get a pass just because something happened while he was in office. Something ALWAYS happens while a President is in office. But the buck stops there.

    Or a question they desperately don't want to answer. Watching them squirm brings joy to one's twilight years, you betcha. In one breath these Fruit Loops scream Trump's a warmonger and the next he's a...snowflake?

    Having a "White Month" in America would be like having a "Woman's Month" on the island of Lesbos. Got it?

    Try that in common English, comrade.

    Let's apply that logic to the UFO believers who find all SORTS of "evidence" that ancient Egypt was alien-influenced if not run by aliens. (The "Stargate" franchise for one application.) They are doubtlessly sincere by all the "evidence" they offer, but after decades of serious scientific searching the SETI program is apparently effectively dead and only at the amateur level again (or so I've read, anyway). But amateur UFO-ologists haven't got the goods. No matter how many computer networks they've strung together for how many berzerkawatts of amplified power...they got bupkis. Zippo.

    They are sincere for the most part. But, like systemic racism, they see what they only want to see. If the proof was in fact available it would be out there by now, not just hyperbolized by leftist whiners.

    If Trump makes them a state, imagine how much money a Trump Lesbos Hotel would make!

    Republicans are the party of Trump now. It's been a long time since I could have a spirited but civil debate with a true conservative. The right wing bubble has grown and thickened. It's become impermeable.
