Probably.


FWIW, I stopped going to church (I was in a conservative ELCA congregation) about half a year ago because nobody in church was speaking out against Trump's regime enabling bullying of viewpoints that weren't fitting with a narrow construction of evangelical Christianity. What is happening to religious freedom is this country is downright Orwellian. We are taking laws designed to protect minority religions, like Native American religious groups, and using them to legally privilege dominant, powerful religious groups. It's kafka-esque and absurd.


I do not want that stuff on my conscience. I'm sick of the Christofascists who think their religious views are the natural default and inseperable from being American. It's far away from what the historical Jesus of Nazareth actually taught.

Trump is a guy who has lied to anyone and everyone all of his life. He is incapable of telling the truth. Behaves like a spoiled child gets apoplectic when not getting his way. A terrible example for our children.

for 3 yrs the dems and media ...media is/are cheerleaders for dems..
have constantly barraged trump ….on russsian interference...then impeachment...

and now he is the favorite for the 2020 election.....?????? how can this be????

the democrat party's best ….party nominee is an old socialist???? feel the bern!!


maybe just maybe the dems and media will learn...that they fuel the fire and motivation on not only the repubs but of moderates/independents
its so obvious that the news media is in bed with the dems … its sickening..thats why trump got elected in the first place... the constant attacks mean very little.....because of this

more minorities are working than ever before - for 50 yrs dems have been promising freebees to minorities for votes......yet here's trump... pulling the shackles off small business and the private sector is roaring ...which lifts the whole economy

trump is NOT socialist … he believes in what many of us believe the American dream is alive and well with opportunities..


if Bernie somehow gets elected...pay attention when we crash and burn -the economy

maybe that's what trump should give Bernie for a nickname.. crash & Bern

I get it. Reagan was a great orator and you hate Trump....and you'll think of a reason later.

I doubt very much whether you experienced American life in '84 as an adult. If you were transported back in time to that setting today, you would be convinced that you were on a different planet.

Being "President for all" was a cakewalk for a great orator back when there was an "all". The left has seen to it that there hasn't been an "all" in America for 30 years. "All" has been replaced by a well-trained (from birth) domestic enemy army out to take down everything that built America into the greatest nation in man's history. And that enemy army has infiltrated nearly half the population. "All" was a utopian concept that your political persuasion demolished and that Trump is doing his best to try to restore.

If you only had a clue as to how little of the perverse agenda of today's left Reagan would support. Or how much Trump has done to protect and advance your life quality while you spit fire at him.

For the benefit of us all, Trump has taken on a challenge that could not possibly be accomplished without ruffling a lot of feathers. And he has shown an uncanny skill at choosing the right feathers to target. I haven't seen a significant miss yet. Reagan was a good, well-intentioned man. But he couldn't handle the challenges of today's Presidency and prevail - not even close. No one else could - no one. We are blessed.

Taxes...big guys got a cut...rest of us got the bill.
Health Care.....less, and paying more. Pre-existing conditions? Sorry. Prescriptions? All are higher so the drug big whigs came become even richer...and pay less taxes.


Should I go on, or have you gotten the idea?
what a list of misinformation above.

if you didn't vote for Hillary and didn't vote for trump, who did you vote for? did you decline to participate in the presidential election in 2016?

if a citizen doesn't vote, they have no standing to complain about the winner.

"from a draft dodger"

Anti Trumpers do NOT know what a LEGAL deferment is, unless they are talking about the likes of clinton and biden who ALSO got college deferments.

"Trump voters don't know what a Rhodes scholar is" If the like of Vachel maddow is your example and idol.....!

I DO know they offer a LOT of JUNK courses.
Literature, Hip-hop, Cosmology, social justice, gotta have that, etc.

Every comment prior to the one you quoted was an opinion. Why did you single this one out to criticize?
