I have no idea why some Americans don't trust the government, but put full trust in businesses whose sole purpose is to make money.
Exactly. At least the government is intended to be beholden to everyone collectively. Businesses are beholden to only the $$profit$$ of their closed circle of shareholders.

Maybe because governments lie to us all the time. Maybe because governments sole objective is to control the people and raise revenue.

Governments kill us, enslave us, take our money, tell us what we can eat, drink, and smoke. Governments tell us how we can spend our money, what products we can sell, when we can sell them, where we can sell them. Governments tell us where we can go, what we can buy, what jobs we can work.

Governments send our kids to war to protect their comfy positions and wealth.

And you trust government? Why?
Many of those laws only exist because of lobbying from big business.

Okay, Trump might not have been forced to knuckle under to the NWO globalist mobsters and he's still putting the country first. If he keeps cleaning house and removes the dead and diseased wood in DC and keeps trying to drain the swamp, he has our support.
Now Mr. Trump, go after Seth Rich's murderer and go after Clinton and the "Pedostas".

So it's ok for him to sign the biggest arms deal with Saudi Arabia (where radical Islamist ideology is based), but he can't participate in the Paris Climate Accord, which every nation except for Nicaragua and Syria is participating in?

Ok.

I take it you are a huge Sean Hannity fan.


I haven't heard anyone use the term "drain the swamp" when referring to Trump in quite some time, I wonder why. That really took some courage considering the last 5 months.

But, honestly, haven't we knowingly been on that track for many, many decades. We tweak this, we tweak that but like the song says:

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Most of what has been done has been done reluctantly, and too late. The Fat Porker with the blond mop is just this truth incarnate, and come to bite us on the butt.

I encouraged both Bush 2 & Obama to spend a few Trillion to bail them out. To me it was worth it for my kid to have his quality of life devalued and to see his taxes raised for the next 40 years (just to pay the stinkin' interest) so we could bail those financiers (& homeowners & investors who stupidly bought on the high side) out.

I also am SO glad that my Health Insurance Premium went up from $800 per month to $1500 per month so other people could save $100 on THEIR premium. The fact that the Deductible also doubled (& I couldn't afford to go to the Dr. anyway) also gave me that Tingly feeling.

PLEASE raise the cost of my AC Bill and my once a week tank of Gas so I can re-distribute my meager savings to countries that love me so much. & maybe the sea level in Boca Raton will go down 1 inch. But probably won't.

What else can I do for my fellow man? Are there any other theories that we can throw a couple of trillion at in the hope that Europe will like me?
