You do realize, don't you, that it was Reagan who first encouraged illegal immigration by declaring the first "amnesty" for illegals already in the country, and also by union-busting, which opened the door to employers to go for the lowest-cost labor available?

progressive and liberals hate the fact the trump is bringing back the principles of america first like our country was founded on. the fact that we are keeping more of the money we earn, the fact we are not beholden to a bunch or towel wrapped people 10,000 mile away to be able to drive our cars, the fact that we say KMA if you think we are going to protect you if your not willing to protect yourself is just fine with me and most of us.

tree huggers would rather see us live in tents and drive scooters - why are you not taking your anger and direct it to india, russia, china if you want to worry about the environment? stop buying thier products where is uproar. America has done its fair share of protecting the environment and improving our lives. Try living in card box box like in mexico, or in raw sewage rivers in india orb earth the air in china sometime.

this election is about america and the citizens that live here and our standard of living - and i am not voting for anyone that wants to lower my or my children's standard of living.
Do you know what a “blivet” is?

Willie Brown was the most powerful politician in California. He was 60 and married, she was 29, that's how she got her start in politics. Now another powerful old man.

Most of us are not keeping more of the money we "earn." The uber-wealthy are getting tax breaks on investments while those who actually work for a living are supporting them.

You aren't making any sense. It is because of enlightened environmental legislation that we have less raw sewage in rivers and better air quality than China, India and Mexico. The present administration is dismantling the regulatory structures that were improving environmental quality for all of us. Bad news for our children and grandchildren.

Mr. Trump has announced his intention to roll back or eliminate not only environmental protections but also Social Security, MediCare, the US Postal Service, public education and the Affordable Care Act, all of which are components of a middle-class standard of living . We have seen no proposals (though they are often promised "within two weeks") to replace any of these programs. If Mr Trump remains in power your children will be poorer, sicker, less educated and living under a broken, tyrannical political system.

That's the diametric opposite of what he actually said.

I should have recorded and diff'd it for posterity, but just a couple days ago I watched both Trump's news conference, AND several media reports on same... and funny how what were purported to be direct quotes were actually quite different from what came out of Trump's mouth.

If you believe secondhand sources and 'quotes' from the media (and this applies to everyone in the spotlight, including Biden and Harris) -- you are being lied to, and don't know it. Go to the original source (pretty much everything significant is now on video, so you need not trust someone's transcript) and watch it firsthand; otherwise you really have no idea what they actually said.

And I do mean original sources. Video live from the White House has not been edited for television; by the time it gets as far even as Fox News, let alone elsewhere, it may have been (couple days ago one aired by Fox was garbled, yet you had to listen carefully to tell it was their tape at fault, and not Trump having difficulty). Same with Biden/Harris -- who I hope will create their own channel and do their own live videos, so we can see the reality and not the Memorex edition.

And we all know what “He actually said” and “comes out of his mouth” is what he does, eh lololololololol

The Only meaningful “original sources” are a person’s actions. Trump’s actions and inactions speak for themselves.

With the choice of candidates, it’s 2016 all over again.

I’ve been reading various “expert” opinions on Harris.

Too dominant
Too charismatic (???)
Too much baggage for the Democratic ticket due to her role as a prosecutor
Smart
Likeable (??????)

It comes down to your ideology. I personally don’t like her.

This. And his past actions are a testament to his rolling back of environmental protections, and his strong interest in cutting back Social Security, Medicare, etc., and in general looking for any untapped corners of the federal budget to rob and give away to his fellow Unconscionables. Don't forget, one reason we're in this current mess with the pandemic is that he slashed the CDC's budget. Way to go, Donny! High five!
