Spence don't you know that Jim got the memo

Ronna McDaniel

Complacency is our enemy. Anyone that does not embrace the @realDonaldTrump agenda of making America great again will be making a mistake.

This has very little to do with immigration - just look at what the usual suspects are posting here. Just anti-administration rhetoric to anything that happens even if Trump does what they wanted him to do. He caved and signed the EO and now they hate it. Sorry but it's hard to take your views seriously if you've never once approved of or given credit to something that this administration has done. There is no satisfying a "resistor" and many of us accept that fact.

No, Dennis it is not that Trump has never done anything good. It is that the things he is successful at he almost always claims to be some superlative or another, i.e. the greatest, most ever, whatever and that makes it hard to agree.
You've fished with guys like that haven't you? Sometimes they even catch a fish.
Justifying the present by looking at the past is never a good idea.
If we want to look at what former presidents did perhaps Herbert Hoover might be a good one to look at and see what he did with the Mexican Repatriation. It's not as bad as that.

If I couldn't stand to read 2 sides to an arguement, I wouldn't come here.

We prob. should go back to the really important stuff that used to be discussed here - if brown suits where inappropriate for the WH or putting someone's shoes on a desk was wrong.

How about why some people can’t fact check anything they post?

I know, look at all these Right leaning kooks that keep starting threads.

Spence is right, we should spend more time fact checking.

Look at the rest of the front page. Or the 2nd page. JohnR isn't right leaning?

I didn't use the word kooks - you did. I did say "vast majority". Is that what bothered you enough to reply?

Remember Conservatives (Dem and Rep) want you to think things through and maybe see the light, and if not Ohhh Well. Hard Left requires your complete submission physically and mentally.

I have generally been a middle road more conservative Dem but those don't exist anymore so I am now the Radical Independent ; )


I even ever-so-briefly dipped a toe into maybe going progressive as some of my friends had until I saw the landscape and said eff that, all y'all are effing nuts ; )

Not what I meant - Other points of view are important and I want to read them. But as a general rule I find that Jim, myself, and others with more conservative views tend to be more understanding of the liberal side views than vice versa. I just can't recall anyone here who is left leaning ever commend an action by the current administration. My father always told me there will always be people "Who would complain if they were hung with a brand new rope", it kind of reminds me of the anti-Trump movement. I just find that many of you will not give the current president or administration a fair shake.

I gave Obama credit all the time for fixing the economy and bombing terrorists. They are all crappy fathers, none of them have any time to spend with their kids.

I pay pretty close attention and can't think of anything significant worth commending. Combine that with the pathological dishonesty, childish tantrums, rampant corruption etc... etc... and I'm not inclined to give Trump the benefit of doubt.

You work in Finance, and you se nothing worth commending.

Lowest black unemployment ever?
Neil Gorsich
Lowest unemployment in, what, 17 years?
stock market doing well

None of those are worth commending? I guess none are really reasons to cheer, or if they are, it's all Obama's doing?
