Our town fought Home Depot taking over a property just steps from an elementary school.
We fought them and they did the same thing. Threw orange t shirts and soccer balls and free bus rides for anyone who needed money...to our down town meetings...which were shut down by the fire marshall due to over crowding...such dog and pony obstruction. Same ol same ol.

And how many of those did he have, outside the initial election and re-election cycle?

it shows that you, your area, and many liberal cities are comply out of touch with a substantial percentage of the country.

This is why you (as a group) were completely surprised that Trump won.

Step outside your echo chamber, and get in touch with the rest of the country. If you do, you'll understand that this administration's policies are far from nonsense.

The speeches themselves are nearly all empty assertion. Assertion and bragging. Assertion, bragging, and defensiveness.

Calling it like it is is not "anger". The only anger that we have been seeing is from the left who cannot accept the 2016 election results, to this day.

I love watching the Trump rallies for many reasons, but one of the top reasons is knowing that people on the left lose their minds every single time he holds one.

Perfect.

Evidence that you didn't actually watch it and instead get your opinions from Fake News. He addressed the Fake News articles stating that he was complaining about the energy and crowd by telling everyone that he did not say that. The Fake News said it.

Indiana rally on August 30th.

Actually, my father has always been a leftist but my extended family is hardcore conservative. I'm definitely aware of these views - but they seem grounded in fear and not rationality.

We love when Muller announces another indictment or charge, a person writes a book or files suit related to Trump and his circle. We enjoy when the right loses their mind every single time one comes down.

Most people don't lose their mind over Trump rallies. They change the channel. Simple.

Trump's only "skill" is that of a carnival barker...then he goes back to the White House and can't back any of it up. Big mouth...loud mouth...foul mouth...that sums him up...except for all the lying on top of that.

There should be a rigorous cost benefit analysis - but there isn't because it's Trump. It's just "illegals are bad, let's build a big wall and make Mexico pay for it."

I don't know what proposed sections you are talking about. If the 700 mile long wall weren't feasible congress never would have approved of it in the first place.


There already is a rigorous cost/benefit analysis. Illegal aliens cost us over $100 billion a year vs the $25 billion wall. Do the math. Trump never said that Mexico would write a check for it but they would inadvertadly play for it. I really don't care as it's still much cheaper for the tax payer even if we do have to pay for it and it's well needed.

It's funny when the "New Yorker" writes something about America like they know anything beyond that bubble in NYC. They still haven't figured out why Hillary Clinton's "Blue Wall" never existed.

I thank the OP for spending his/her day perusing the Internet for this kind of stuff so we can laugh at it.
