Well they use the politics of ridicule. It always backfires because no one wants to be talked down or made to look like a fool even if they're wrong. They could just be misinformed but the younger more identity politics oriented left seems to revel in lecturing old people to use proper pronouns.

Yes, never refer to a transgender as an "it".

Because when he should be blocking out the remarks of the naysayers such as us and getting down to the business of running the country, he holds another rally so he can bask in the spotlight and attention of his adoring fans.

It had nothing to do with informing anyone of anything but returning to a tried-and-true tactic that works for him because he doesn't know what to do next. He doesn't have a clue about how to be president and has surrounded himself with a largely inexperienced staff who can't help him figure it out either. And he has fired or is firing the experienced people in his relentless pursuit of hiring only admiring equally clueless Trumpbots who won't help him understand his actual job, but will fawn and bask in the warm orange glow of everything he says.
Wow.....have you been living under a rock? Trump has BEEN running the country. He has accomplished more in the one month he has been in office than his predecessors have done in a year. Of course, if you listen to the negative media, he is in constant turmoil, with nothing getting done. I'm not going to list all the things he has accomplished, because I know it would fall upon deaf ears.

I'd much rather a president who surrounds himself with successful people than one who surrounded himself with "Obamabots" whose only qualification was that they were minorities, LGBTQRST or something in between male or female, or suckups who donated a pile of money during his campaign.

I'm glad he held that rally. With all the hateful negative lies that have been spewed by the left, it was important that his supporters could be there for him, and vice versa.

I can't wait till the liberals denial turns to shock for them when they find that this still a country of overwhelmingly conservative values unlike what the leftists think.

Many of them are pretending that they won the elections with their smug elitest mentality of cable networks.

They are really bashing the heartland, Appalachia, southerners and people on the plains like never before.

I love the stories bashing people from middle-America when the quality of life in much of middle-America is much better for the average worker then the big cities on the liberal coasts.

Everyday the liberal media floods their websites with garbage trashing people who live in the Midwest and South just because they are sour that the Midwest and South have far more electoral votes then the coasts.

The Trump America which is middle-America has a massive-middle class and is not overwhelmed with people crowded like sardines like certain liberal cities.
And yet we crushed Trump's Big Tough man Muslim ban in no time at all. So much so, that Trump ran off and did not carry on his "see you in court".. (what a loser trump is, he talks big and folds fast, first china kicked his sorry butt and then WA and MI)

If you guys think we have no power, ask yourself what happened to Trump's instant ACA repeal... hmmm, no answer? trump claimed he would have it repealed day one! ... well we are a month in and now he says he no longer knows....


So far all trump has done is screw over the poor fly over voters who tipped him over the scales... FCC rolled back to let v T ATT Comcast rip you off all over again ...FTC now owned by Goldman Sachs, another win. Fiduciary rule buried . Consumer owned cablebox DOA, rural subsidy for broadband GONE. (they actually targeted you guys on that one) de vos about to voucher your schools to death. Defended by voucher , ouch that is going to hurt.

All the tax breaks are going to us wealthy coasters, you fly kids will get nothing , he even told you up front, yet still you voted for him. Oh and if you doubt me, why not look it up , trump very nicely laid out his plan tax plan and it is pretty bleak unless you make a lot of money...

Are you loving it OP? You voted for it and you are getting it, only "it" is not what you thought it would be...

We are just going to watch the world burn. You so-called conservatives elected a billionaire with narcissistic personality disorder. Putin will own him, or we will have WWIII. Unless he is impeached for mental defects. He has a personality disorder that renders him an emotional two-year-old.

And he thinks it's a good idea to let his club members take pictures with the nuke box. You people. I guess you really are this stupid. I guess you don't care about your children. They would like clear skies and clean streams. But you just want to be serfs to the royalty. Go ahead and suck down poison to make sure master drinks from a golden cup.

I did roll my eyes a great deal at Jr. He disappointed me in a variety of ways. But, I didn't ever doubt that he WANTED to be a good president and to represent all Americans.

He never referred to the press as the "enemy" or to those who didn't approve of him as "the enemy" or "haters."

Good grief, where are the manners in the office now?
Snap I too voted bush the first time but not the second, although my voted does not matter as live in WA which has not gone red since Reagan ...

It is crazy to see the right wingers cheering on Trump's disgusting attack on the environment. And what is worse they don't seem to grasp that none of it will be allowed in the solid blue states. Our state laws supersede federal and thus the rivers that are fouled, the water tables that are filled with toxins they will mostly be found in poor red states that are struggling as it is. Here in WA we will continue to protect our endless forests, rivers and wildlife. Trump lacks the power , state law comes first for many of the nations laws.

Hell, even us red staters will protect our waterways without need of the heavy arm of the federal government.

What you're seeing is the death-throws of an ideology.
