You know the Democrats support open borders in order to ensure they obtain as many votes as possible to regain power.

Free Medicare for all, free college, free everthing, it’s all about votes with no logical way to pay for anything, socialist views to attract those who are in search of a better life but haven’t been able to be a part of the so called middle class that is slowing being decimated!

The democrats and their party made it quite clear they aren't interested in representing Americans when they can represent noncitizens and foreign interest as a matter of policy.

You have to give Trump supporters props though no matter what happens with Trump, it’s always the lefts fault. They could all be dead and still get the blame. Some truly amazing brain washing going on here.

HEndless brands/ factions within both parties.

Don’t think either party has the best interests of the country.

I believe neither the democrat party NOR the republican party has the United States' best interests at heart. I believe BOTH parties seek to impose THEIR will, beliefs, morality and dictates upon society by using the force of government to compel compliance even when the action or inaction of an individual does not encroach upon the rights or property of another. BOTH parties are totalitarian.


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

When the democrat party is divided into three factions, (intersectionality, progressive and corporate). The democrats can not have th best interest in the hearts of many due to division. My vote no.

Something I find disconcerting on CD is how people will write subject lines and/or polls which do not reflect the actual subject they want to discuss.


As far as North Korea goes, I think President Trump should have explained it to Un in a way that a child would understand. Here's how I think that exchange should go.


Kim, life is a big sandbox in which kids from all different countries can play. Because of your behavior, as well as your father's behavior, you have been in "time out" where you weren't allowed to play in the world's sandbox. What we intend to do is allow you to play in the sandbox once again, being free to trade baseball cards and bubble gum with the other kids, participating in worldwide free market trade without sanctions AS LONG AS you behave.

Since you and your father have had a bad habit of not behaving, we want you to understand that if you act out again, you will not be put in time out again, nor will Mom snatch you up and swat your ass. No, if you have a tantrum and start attacking ANY other kids in the sandbox, hitting them, bombing them, even threatening them, Mom won't save you this time. Instead of getting a time out or swatted, Dad, the United States, will stomp your head, along with the heads of each and every citizen of North Korea until you are all dead. Dad has nuclear weapons created just for you and the citizens of your nation and Dad won't hesitate to use them killing everyone of you. Mind you everywhere you and your people travel in the world, Dad will be tracking you... all of you, and he will reach out and stomp your heads to death regardless of where you are.

Feel free to keep your nuclear weapons. Just know we can and will shoot down any missile heading toward another nation AND we will then kill you.

Now... are you going to play nice in the world's sandbox, trading cards, engaging in free trade, potentially benefiting from all that the world has created and invented, while not harming anyone else because we're serious when we say all it will take is you having one tantrum, making one threat, just one time of attacking ANYONE and Dad will kill all of you.

That is our ONLY offer, so what do you want to do?


THAT'S how "I" would handle North Korea.


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

For those who might try to argue that this is using the force of government to compel an action, I would argue that this is an example of having had due process where one was found guilty and convicted. Then upon release they are told that they have 2 strikes and the 3rd will cause them to suffer the death penalty. It is a reactionary use of government force to punish for actions which encroach upon the rights or property of another.

I am consistent in that thought. Do ALL you agree to do and do NOT encroach upon the rights and property of another. I believe those are the ONLY laws we need except where 3rd party harm is created.


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

No I think that the Democratic Party only has its own best interests in mind. If it happens to be good for the country, then fine, but that isn't the priority. The GOP is the same. It is all about making those at the top even more wealthy.
Does anyone actually think that Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, or you name the party top dogs, actually have a clue what it is to be the middle class or below? Do they even care? Hell no.

Neither party has the best interests of the U.S or it's citizens. One party is evil and the other, the one I vote for, is evil lite.
