Because we're filling up with 3rd world...banana republic...people. We're a minority majority.

It matters. Demographics matters.

It's because we have a dictator in the Oval Office.

Maybe the NFL and the other sports leaders will finally see the light that it is time to take a stand against this demagogue.

mark Steyn is spot on. Its clear that Deep State which includes the intelligence community did not want Trump elected because they owned Hillary. Trump is his own man is pushing for country first while Deep State, high powered globalist and Establishment want to maintain power and control.

Those who are being fooled by the Trump Derangement movement appear not to be deep thinkers and or easily distracted

No, maybe last year, if any. Most Banana Republics are NOT Republics, but socialist tyrannies. President Trump is attempting to put some democracy back into our Republic in order to give the people some real representation. Even the Republicans in congress seem to be holding fast to their power base, rather than representing the voter. Trump is fighting an uphill battle and his harsh but true rhetoric is not making it a smooth climb. I have not seen a president that has supported the people as much, since Reagan. President Trump really cares about the people and has a bit of scorn for the swamp dwelling politicians. I believe that businessmen will help our country at this time more than career politicians/lawyers.

Speak the truth? What do you mean. He has lied more than an other candidate and now does the same as POTUS. And his policies help the Establishment not hurt it. The Democrats and Republicans fight him because he has a very warped agenda one based on Nationalism and fear of immigrants. Except those from countries he has hotels in, of course.

If what is being said above is true then it is obviously a continuation of the prior 8 years and the linguine spine that was in office....hence no BFD!

You mean NICE places...places you'd want to visit. Not Somalia or Haiti or any other hellhole.

America is 49% white, down from 90%. America is 51% minorities. Hispanics have been having the most babies for the last 7 years...they WILL be the majority within 30 years. A "Sanctuary City" is a sanctuary BECAUSE that city is a minority majority and THEY have elected THEIR people to run it. HOW do you think the "Marion Barry's" keep getting elected? The "Maxine Waters"?

"California's 43rd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California that is represented by Democrat Maxine Waters. Wikipedia
Current Representative: Maxine Waters (D–Los Angeles)
Ethnicity: 15.1% White; 23.6% Black; 12.6% Asian; 46.0% Hispanic; 2.7% other"

Idiots elect other idiots... No skin in the game...no vote...sorry but why should you? If you don't work in the garden, you don't eat.

Hmm, what lies are you speaking of? I am not trying to put you on the spot, or maybe I am. I just do not know what lies you are referring to. A lot of people have accused him of lying and later find out that he was totally correct, but most of them will never admit it. Remember, to be mistaken is not being a liar. What policies are you referring to that "help the Establishment not hurt it?" What "Establishment?" What "warped agenda?" "Fear of immigrants?" I believe what you are indicating is his promise to build a border wall to protect Americans. Are you against protecting Americans? Do you feel we have too many police? Perhaps we should forget about military recruitment and just allow the military to disappear slowly by means of attrition.

Nationalism:
patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts.
advocacy of political independence for a particular country.

That term seems like a positive thing to me. Aren't you patriotic? I'm sure that like most other Villagers, you have served your country, patriotically right?

I think your arguments are stupid.

Can you frame them in terms of this?:

"Liberty" is a poetic term for property rights.
Therefore there are only two kind of laws:
Type 1) those that protect property rights,
Type 2) and those that attack property rights <--- where fascism lives

"Have the government do unto others and their property as you'd have the government do unto you, and your property."

Piece together all that is being said about Donald Trump and it amounts to defamation based on hate, misinformation, emotion, cold war tactics lies half truths and the shock that Hillary actually lost. All of it about Trump himself.

These actions by the left are illogical and misguided
Obamacare is a disaster. it needs to be fixed

Immigration is an important issue. all one has to do is look at Europe.
Sanctuary Cities essentially provide cover for illegal criminals
Illegal aliens in this country are provided for better that many US citizens

Tax Reform s a must and needs pro growth policies
The FED is doing well by the top 1% but not anything for retirees. By fighting inflation, an issue which is in itself is debated as to whether it really has any affect on growth. We know the FED policies deny retires interest income and savings spurs growth

Deterrence is the key to peace.Deterrence requires strength
Obama's policy of leading from behind has let us behind
North Korea has continued to extort money from America and never kept its promises. Nor has Iran,or Cuba or Syria

Its one thing to have political and civil discourse on policy quite another t continue to play the dirty dozen with the Trump name.

And Oh about Hillary even the well celebrated progressive George Clooney finally had to admit Hillary was an awful candidate. By the way he will run for office and his final prep for a resume was his international lawyer wife who will give him a boost

We wold all be the wiser to stay focus on policy and less on Trump

Yes it is...like when I post truths...they attack ME and not the facts.

We CANNOT afford to GIVE almost half the countries population "free" healthcare equal to about $10,000 a year. We already spend over a $ trillion a year on welfare.

All one has to do is look at America! We've gone from 90% white to 49%, we've gone from #1 in the world to #25. Hispanics have been having the majority of kids for te last 7 years...with no end in sight. This country WILL become Mexico II within 30 years. Why do you not try to stop it?

Sanctuary cities are overwhelmingly minority majorities...some being over 80% minorities. They elect "their own kind" for mayor and city council...they MAKE the city a "sanctuary city". Sanctuary cities are already lost...a vision of America's future. Minority majority.

And minorities get more than whites. We treat the idiot poor better than we treat our own. Because we feel sorry for them.

Interest rates are kept low so the government can pay the interest on $20 trillion they owe. Every 1% interest rates rise...makes the governments interest payments ultimately go up another $200,000,000,000 a year. Interest rates are low so a bankrupt country can keep borrowing and servicing the debt.

They won't do that...because they have nothing to defend their position. So, as usual, they continue to attack the messenger.
