What's a "he whole" and why does it remind you of Homer Simpson?

Come on Republicans, we need to stick together and put him in office or we are going to be stuck again with puppet and country hating Cackles. Don't let the baggage the left gave trump sway you not to vote for him. It's what they want. You do that and the left wins again because of our weakness.

Glad to see all the people show up for Trump especially in that area. The Dems fear Trump so much. That right there should tell you how good he will be once again as president.

That long line to see Trump kept going forever. I see it as a good sign. People are sick of what is in the white house now.
"The left" didn't force Trump to ramble nonsense on Twitter every day.

I wonder if FDR's detractors mocked his fireside chats by calling it rambling nonsense

To be expected.


The political divide we have today is between American workers and consumers, and while we are all consumers, not everyone is a worker.


For this reason nationalists and globalists have reached an impasse.


Globalists don't need a country to call home because they would be just as happy living is some other country.


Nationalists have no interest in living anywhere except America, so they feel compelled to fight the globalists as they repeatedly attempt to dismantle the institutions, traditions and norms that make the US a place worth calling home.


One of the most important American norms is the respect we show lawful US workers.


We believe that no legal US worker should have to compete for wages with toothless peasants in third-world countries or illegal workers here in America.


After a long series of globalist leaders (Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama) we now have a president that shares our nationalist values, so enthusiasm, even affection, for Trump.


Again, it is to be expected.

Where I come from, we call that an attempted coup.



It's the stuff of banana republics, so I don't care that he had what the same cast of characters are now claiming he couldn't legally possess.


Get back to me when the FBI helps him destroy evidence and claims "No reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

It's not a comparison between the FDR and Trump. It's a comparison of different emerging platforms used by passed presidents to convey ideas and deliver their message. Most Americans probably had a radio by the time FDR was doing the fireside chat. And most Americans probably have access to the internet now.

One of them put Americans in labor camps based on their race but the other one is the one called a racist. Liberals crack me up.

FDR also refused to provide sanctuary for Jews trying to escape nazi Germany. He also refused to bomb the rail lines leading to the extermination camps. It doesn't take much research to find strong evidence that FDR did not care for the Jews. I'm not going to go as far as to say he was antisemitic. I would say, he was unsympathetic towards their plight.


Trump on the other hand, was likely one of the friendliest presidents towards the the Jews. He treated them with more dignity and respect than I recall any president in my life.



So I guess if we do want to compare how these two very different presidents treated minorities, we could.

Meaning what, specifically ?
