Following through on a key campaign promise, President Trump and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions effectively ended former President Obama’s “Dreamers” program today.
It’s over.
The Trump Administration was pushed into action by 10 Republican state attorney generals, who had threatened to bring suit against the federal government today to end the program that Obama first decried, then implemented without legislative authority several years ago.
Sessions reportedly told the President that Obama’s executive order had no standing, and the courts were likely to nullify DACA.
So Trump acted…decisively.
Naturally, Washington media elites and the Republican establishment Wall St. funded donor class was shocked this President is bothering to follow through on another campaign promise.
They don’t. Why should he? Lying is so much more civil.
Here are the facts to dispel the rumors about Trump’s DACA action:
- There are 690,000 people who are currently in the DACA program in the U.S. right now.
- Ages range from 16-35, with the average age at 23.
- Effective today, the U.S. government is not accepting any more DACA applications. Unless Congress passes a new law instituting it, the program is dead. No more applications, and no incentive to flood the border.
- There are approximately 33,000 current DACA applications in the system today. They will be processed, and if accepted each of these applicants will get a two-year work permit waiver.
- There are 73,000 current DACA workers who have re-applied for another two-year work extension. They will all be processed, and if approved under normal guidelines, will get another two-year work permit deferment.
- If anyone in the DACA program has a waiver that is about to expire in September, they have until October 5 to re-apply.
- DHS is not going to prioritize former DACA waiver recipients for deportation. The DHS and ICE will maintain their previously deportation priorities.
That’s it. Without Congressional action, The DACA program is over in about 2.5 years. Waivers are granted from the date of approval, not application.
What happens after new two-year waivers expire if there is no Congressional action?
Those in the DACA deferment program now will have two years to apply for U.S. entry through regular lawful means, marry a U.S. citizen, apply for work permits under other lawful avenues available, stay in the U.S. illegally and risk deportation after the permit expiration or return home.
What is Congress’ role now?
Congress has only three options:
- Do nothing, and let the DACA program terminate itself after about 2.5 more years
- Make DACA permanent and go forward accepting applications in perpetuity, or for another set period of time (sunset the new law).
- Provide amnesty to the 690,000 DACA participants in the deferment program now.
That’s it.
Now, lets see which Republicans vote for amnesty over their constituents’ wishes. The onion is about to be peeled back.

The president and other electeds take an oath to uphold the constitution. Obama says he could not change the DACA deal in 2011 per the constitution. Then, a few years later he did it anyhow???
Why are we even having this discussion? Illegals are criminals, here illegally, being hired by employers who hire them illegally. Kick their asses out, Congress and the illegals.
The Establishment uses the media as a weapon. The Establishment made Communist China what they are, hence N. Korea. It’s all about cheap labor for the Establishment. They own the media, and are determined to keep their cheap labor. Just stop buying the stuff they advertise. You and I are paying for those commercials.
Screw the establishment. Screw the Establishment.
Work, Congress, Work!
What a LAZY bunch of bums!
AND, btw, the ideologically rigid – aka extremists on both ends of the spectrum – are the LAZIEST BUMS including LAZY BUMS like Brat.
And who are the VERY MOST LAZY BUMS! …. Republicans and Democrats out in the precincts, local committees, etc who support the behavior of LAZY BUMS! YOU are like everyone’s WORST UNFAIR UNTRUTHFUL BOSS who only looks out for him/their/her self.
In a workplace the goal is the success of the BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, if baking bread (THE BEST BREAD WITH THE BEST WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS AT THE BEST PRICE), if customizing trucks (THE BEST CUSTOMIZING AND THE BEST PRICE), if growing corn (THE BEST CORN WITH THE LEAST CHEMICALS AT THE BEST PRICE), if nursing home (THE BEST NURSING HOME CARE SERVING PEOPLE EXCELLENTLY AT THE BEST PRICE) ….
Great bosses run their workplace for the BEST results. HORROR BOSSES run the workplace for their own stupid, selfish purposes.
VOTERS who vote for extremists – are voting to have the WORST BOSSES in charge. CHANGE THAT behavior Republicans, and Democrats.
Because EVERYONE HATES A BAD BOSS!

If these Dreamers are so great why aren’t their home countries begging them to be sent back?
Good point. Most are now adults with skills that can be used to help their countries of origin to build a more civilized society.
W&M joins in the lawbreaking:
———————————
William & Mary President Taylor Reveley sent a message to the campus community Tuesday in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to rescind an Obama-era program that allows those who came to the United States illegally as children to live in the country free from fear of deportation.
Reveley said the college will continue to welcome its students currently receiving such protection.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump released plans to discontinue the federal immigration policy called Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
“I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents,” Trump said in a written statement. “But we must also recognize that we are nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws.”
The program offered protection to roughly 800,000 undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children. DACA recipients are temporarily allowed to work and attend school within the United States.
According to William & Mary spokeswoman Suzanne Seurattan, 23 current William & Mary students have received DACA protection. Reveley pledged to support all William & Mary students, regardless of national origin or immigration status.
President Reveley’s statement is copied in its entirety below:
“Dear William & Mary Community,
The Department of Justice announced plans today to phase out Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This program provides temporary authorization to work or attend school for undocumented people brought to the United States as children.
A lot remains unknown at this point. The Trump administration announced plans to “wind down” the program over the next six months but also suggested Congress may come up with an alternative solution during that time.
At William & Mary, 23 students are with us under the aegis of DACA. As I said last year, DACA students are important members of our community. They belong here, and we strongly believe they should be allowed to finish their educations. William & Mary will keep doing all we can to support them. Our welcome is unwavering for each W&M student, regardless of his or her national origin or immigration status.
We will work closely with Virginia’s Attorney General to better understand today’s announcement. In the meantime, we will reach out to our DACA students to assure them that William & Mary remains their staunchest ally.
Putting adults who were brought here as children and continue to stay here illegally (even after they are responsible for their own actions) in prison for that crime would be punishing them. Sending them back to their home countries is not.
They need to go to their countries of their parents. If they wish to return, then let them go through the legal process of immigration. I have helped with naturalization ceremonies and the people who become citizens are grateful and thankful unlike many of these dreamers who think they are entitled.
The Republicans who remain in denial at the anger and frustration of many in their base, do so at their peril. Gone are the days when talking was enough. Voters expect results, not slogans and platitudes.
There are lyrics to a song;
“As sure as the Sun will cross the sky this lie is over”
Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves. It all started with the ACA Law and Democrats using their super-majority to pass it on a party line vote and basically telling Republicans to go pound sand. After that, Republicans refused to cooperate on anything, so when Democrats got beat in the mid-terms and lost their grip on Congress then Obama had no option but to do things with Executive Orders instead of asking Congress to pass laws.
So here we are … Trump does what Obama should have done, he sends it to Congress and tells them its their job to figure it out, which it is.
Score a big win for Trump on that one. BOOYAH!
TL;DR
DACA isn’t law, it has no more legal weight than Obama’s favorite candy or his choice of movies on movie night. Should have worked with Congress.
So tell me: Why are they serving Obama’s favorite candy for two and a half more years, his movies on movie night? If it were a big win, wouldn’t he have ordered it ended overnight? Why the six months plus two years of extensions? King said this approach is “death for Republicans.”
I agree with you: Better it is Federal law, and it will be. But how does that earn a Booyah? Is that a sort of win whoop for DACA, or were you prematurely celebrating a loss?
Dude, like I said before, you’re not fooling anybody. It reminds me of that movie .. have to go look the name up, where they have people on the radio in WW2 playing music so that German soldiers can hear it, and they make it 99% true … but they slip in a little bit of venom to demoralize the German troops. That’s you. Right now. I mean do you SERIOUSLY FREAKING THINK that Obama is doing cartwheels at the moment because his DACA Executive Order was overturned, an order he practically begged Trump not to overturn during the transition of power, he even set up a special time to talk to Trump about it. But here you are .. what, trying to convince us that somehow this is a *&^%ing win for the Democratic party ? I mean WTF. That’s a huge load of BS. You’re a FREAKING TROLL.
This is a politically great move for President Trump.
He lays it in Congress’s lap.
1) Do nothing it is over.
2) Make it law and you place foreigners prosperity over the dinner table. See you on reelection day. There is more than likely a young passionate individual waiting in the wings.
3) And if Congress is going to give out money for free College for foreigners in the millions (I don’t believe the numbers) over citizen children they get what they have coming.
I don’t think Congressman are wired correctly (Patriotic) , perhaps reverse polarity.
We do not know the outcome at this point. If it later becomes a federal law, he’s delighted. At the moment, it’s wait and see because, as Steve King said, there’s a delay built-in that guarantees dreamers will be here for more than two years and Congress wants the votes and corporate donations.
A huge load of BS, you say? Tell that to immigration hard-liner Steve King. Is he a FREAKIN TROLL, Salt? Huh? YOU ARE IGNORANT and it shines brightly through your empty head like a train steaming through an otherwise empty tunnel.
But fine with me, declare whatever victory you want, but you contradict yourself left and right … first you observe there is no law and Obama made a mistake, then I point out that Republicans are trying now to make it law, and they’ll have Democrats with them, and you write that it’s not a win? For it to go from favorite candy to federal law (your words)?
What an ignorant human being you are. You cannot even remain consistent in one argument. Which is it, Big Boy? It hadn’t the force of law and now it will? Or it had the force of law and now it’s ended? No one with any sense believes the latter, and even you tried to convince us of the former.
Declare victory. Have your party! But know this: It’s going from executive order to federal law. Trump will sign the bill. Just watch.
“Have your party!”
**HAS A PARTY**
SALT’s words: “Trump does what Obama should have done, he sends it to Congress and tells them its their job to figure it out, which it is. DACA isn’t law, it has no more legal weight than Obama’s favorite candy or his choice of movies on movie night. Should have worked with Congress.”
Now it IS thrown to Congress, where Republican leaders welcome the chance to replace it. In fact, we all know it lost four federal court cases and was on the verge of being completely overturned in the courts. Today: NEW LEASE ON LIFE! More than two years of extensions! And Republican leaders say they want to make it law.
Immigration hard-line Steve King is freaked out, against the action, but YOU ARE FOR IT AND HAPPY? Does that make you something less of an immigration hardliner? Or does it just display your low IQ and ability to contradict yourself? Surely you know it is you who wrote there was nothing to the law and that it should be tossed to Congress — and now instead of being ended immediately as unconstitutional by the courts, it’s going to Congress with a 2yr+ leadtime. It was a lifeline where there was previously none, by your own words. BOOYAH!!
P.S. Market fell more than 200 points today. And you call it a good day for conservatives? When the market falls over 200 points, as a conservative I know it was not a good news day for stability and the economy.
Being that there is business conducted with illegal labor it could justified *market correction* and that is good because the illegal aliens are not here doing the work Americans don’t want to do (big lie) they are here to suck the equity out of legal wage earners.
Now another bright side is the subsidizing of foreigners wages on American soil.
Mac, how come the “act of love Republicans” don’t stand up and speak out about their exploitation.
Lincoln said;
“We live in a time where man is in need for the meaning of the word Liberty; to one man it is to do with the fruit of his labor as he wishes, to another is to do with the fruit of another man’s labor as he wishes”
How much did gold iincrease today?
200 points is far from effecting my family, I work and own a S-Corp.
My stock has been rising since the election, Customers are starting to prefer homes built with licensed labor.
One of my sales pitches to potential customers on Contract homes is the Commonwealth cannot guarantee that you home was built using licensed contractors, more often than not today the General Contractor is not a trade specialist he sometimes uses the lumber store to provide him with what they call install services.
Then say the Commonwealth madates a 1 year warranty but shoddy construction is forever mow don’t you want a joke built by a professional tradesman , using licensed contractors.
You can always sue a licensed contractor for shoddy construction.
Do you really want to take a chance with the backbone of your family’s net worth (your home) .
What if the other home you purchase has issues and you find yourself trying to resell in 3 years. Do you want to take that gamble?
Would you roll those dice on a $400,000.00 home?
I can’t WAIT until the markets correct, I’ve been waiting for it. It will be bad for Trump because the doofus has been taking credit for the market’s rise (he has no long game, Trump), but it will be good for Americans. In the short term it’ll make credit markets very tight, which in the long term is a good thing, and it will cause deflation which is terrible for huge corporations, government, etc, but is really important to increasing the value of the working man’s labor. This house of cards has gone on for long enough, time for some mayhem again the markets, and 21000 has significance in market theory and is a good market top that traders can agree on.
Down 7000 here we come.
Not joking.
It’s bigger than Democrat vs Republican.
Sign it or don’t sign it. Any republican that joins with the Dems to make DACA law is dead meat. Goin gator huntin. Poke that head above the swamp.

Good news.
BUT…I hope the Republican party realizes that this is a serious hot button issue for a large percentage of its base and betrayal will not be tolerated.
If they cave and make DACA permanent or grant amnesty then its time to burn the party to the ground.
The only people who would push this are the GOPe swamp dwellers. For well over a decade, there has been a push for amnesty for illegal aliens and the anger it generated cost some Republicans their offices. Try this again, and their will be more republicans walking the streets and having to live with and in the mess they created. Once we start rewarding illegality in immigration, we will become the EU with its utterly disastrous open borders to any and every barbarian.
Its too bad the GOPe swamp dwellers have sizable majorities in both the House and Senate.
I look at it this way: They now have to look over their shoulders at a very angry and frustrated electorate. They know that re-election has just become quite a bit harder. Requests for funds yield less and there are fewer people manning election headquarters, walking the beat and answering the phones. I saw how bad this can be when McCain was nominated. It was a disaster for the local HQ. No volunteers, no phone calls, no one willing to post a sign – and then he picked Palin and the entire situation turned around. It is amazing what decisions that support the people you are supposed to support actually yield. The swamp is not your friend.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who previously said he was very disappointed by Trump’s lack of action on DACA, expressed fresh frustration on Sunday night with the idea of a delayed implementation.
“Ending DACA now gives chance 2 restore Rule of Law. Delaying so R Leadership can push Amnesty is Republican suicide,” King tweeted.
Now what about the *illegal* ones
hiding in Va.s’ underground labor market.
What about the illegal employer in Va?
What about the employer who is exploiting the DACA man/child?
John,
Ed now has his work cut out for him being the McAuliffe Administration has a 4 year start on the illegal employment, unlicensed contractor , illegal commerce issue.
I guess the Santurary City adds are pure B.S. now.
What is his policy for Executive Order 24 and the DOLI to DPOR notifications of the use of illegal contractors, that rule of law thing; Statute 54.1-1100
( prohibited acts) and The VEC classifying criminals as “bona-fide independent contractors”(Santurary), Deregulation of Statutes by another State agency?
You rightfully express my frustration. I have been scammed by supposedly citizen contractors and have had illegals show up to do the work I contracted for. I know they are illegals because only one of the bunch speaks any english and he does it poorly. I am stuck because the contractor has some of my money and time is of the essence. I just don’t use the guy again.
1) Contact Olson at DPOR.
2) Contact McAuliffes Commissioner at the Dept. of Commerce.
The Employee misclassification task force must have their feet held to the fire. Tax, Insurance, Contractor and payroll must come to an end in Va., Let’s set the standard for the rest of the Country.
McAuliffe knew of this as early as Feb. , 2013.
He is holding on all of us.
Why? Future political ambition? I was told;
” When the time is right we will make use of this information “
Oh, it is the white guy circumnavigating his financial parental
obligation also. Meth mouth pieces of crap!
Why wait?
The chances of congressional action are about nil. The average American worker no longer believes all this gibberish about Dreamers and “just this one time” another amnesty. Every American sees the stonewalling of the wall so they no that any amnesty means an open border. There is the saying fool me once shame on your. Fool me twice shame on me. Any republican who tries to play the DACA cards is going to have a lot of problems when it comes to re-election. The gang of 8 fell flat on their collective faces when they tried to pull off amnesty so anybody who thinks another gang of 8 under the current circumstances is going to succeed is foolish at best.
Loads of time for the current executive order to become Federal law, upgrading the DACA program to permanent status. Thanks for reciting the time line for review, it’s much more than six months — 2.5 years — as your facts above make clear.
You call yourself a conservative but here you are pushing amnesty. There is no way you are a conservative. Possibly a GOPe social globalist, but certainly not a conservative.
I just listened to a line of Republican leaders make the case for DACA on television.
Lindsey Graham was most compelling. Is he not a conversative leader? Paul Ryan says Congress should make DACA federal law.
I am a huge Orrin Hatch fan and he says he supports DACA legislation. This post might take up the whole page if I list all the conservatives and Republicans who support DACA. I am no exception to that list, and it is fruitless to declare you, who has lambasted essentially every Republican legislator and leader, as the arbiter of conservatism. Your choices — like the American Party — are far more radical than my choices, which are conservative by comparison to your leaps into the fringe.
I say go for it. The phones will be ringing off the hook. What the swamp wants is counter to the will of the people. My guess is you think the people are just misinformed or worse. Well, the case for promoting illegal behavior is a really hard one to make but there are certainly people who are trying to make it. I think Ryan is a gone goose. He will be primaried because, like Cantor, he will not be able to explain his stonewalling behavior. As far as the others, we shall see. By the way, I would like to see the list as it will certainly expose people who need to go home and live with the mess they created.
Actually no, none of them are conservative leaders. Just your typical big gov’t, progressive Republicans.
Obviously, I disagree. They represent stability, a conservative approach to the economy and markets. You want to roll the dice with dramatic change. I do not, they do not. We are seeing market growth and extraordinary prosperity. Gary Cohn is doing a good job.
Where do you stand on printing more money aka Debt Limit Raise? Shut the govt down to oppose it, or keep govt rolling? Which is more conservative?(Hint — it doesn’t involve a shutdown, which is not a conservative move, especially while recovering from storms and facing nuclear enemies.)
The names mentioned are on the left of the Republican spectrum. Paul Ryan is now scrambling as are others because they know that primaries are coming.
Orrin Hatch on the Left of the Republican spectrum? Seriously? John McCain? Tell him to his face.
Even Steve King says this is the death of the Republican Party.
Paul Ryan will now try to position himself in front of the wave just as Cantor did.
I think he will try and maybe succeed, but he is damaged goods because he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. You don’t know where he actually stands because he stands everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
It is said; If you split a crows tounge you can teach him to talk.
Kill a crow and even the buzzards won’t eat them.
Maybe the cheezeheads in Wisconsin can hunt unwanted game like crows 7 days a week like we can in Va.
For years candidates have asked us to have *faith* in them, NO!!!
Faith is for G_d!
Not for political hacks.
We must look at ALL of them as do I have confidence in him or her.
For Ryan; a no confidence vote.
To bad their term and payment for the job is not performance based.
A lot of these politicians have mastered the talk. They sound reasonable, conservative and talk about all the good things outlined in the Republican creed. And then you get the “I’m fiscally conservative and socially liberal” jargon.
o me, that is the kiss of death because you cannot be fiscally conservative and socially liberal at the same time. Ultimately, it means you will spend money to “do good things”. In the end, the fiscal conservatism goes out the window and the social liberalism (often outright socialism) takes over. I have seen this time and again and have had little hope of change until Trump took over.
Graham is full of crap!
Remember the Gang of Eight press conference?
Graham said; get used to it now they meet the IRS.
UH, not the way that they are allowing tax fraud through illegal employment
in Virginia.
I stand firm on the illegal employment.
My fix on the Employee misclassification/JLARC
427 through Building Contractors is;
Make all of us Contractors in Va have a VEC account!
Currently the ones who don’t circumnavigate the VEC audit. You can hide many employees under one 1099.
Advantage, Northam.
I’m shocked too. An elected Republican that is actually doing something. Go figure.

July 13, 2017
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #Never Trumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain? We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past
60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or“proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today. The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”
That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.
Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.” … Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position.
… They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.
So, to my friends on the Left — and the #Never Trumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do. These aren’t those times.
This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. So, say anything you want about this president – I get it – he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!
I love it. I received the same from Howie Lind a few weeks ago and this sums up Trump exactly.
Sometimes Trump does things that I don’t like, but I’ll take the 75% of the stuff he does that I do like over the 100% of nothing that Congress produces.
I agree. Trump often says quite controversial things. Many time I think he does it to keep the media off balance and in a tizzy. However, many times what he says proves true a few days later – but the press, by that time, has moved on to other fake news. Look at Charlottesville. Trump got pilloried for saying both sides were at fault. Well, now we find out that antifa, BLM and communists were there and responsible for a lot of the chaos and violence. So, Trump was right and the press wrong.
Testicular fortitude and being a man of your word tend to be an admirable character trait missing for some time.
Your business would never survive in small town America if you did not keep your word , just DC, the District of Corruption.
DC is a very difficult place to work in. One’s word is negotiable.
To negotiate today is bartering, Sold!
When your word is not your bond, you become a liar.
