For one thing, it may surprise you to learn that standing with the President when we are committed to a course, and cutting him at the knees would be very bad for the country, does not make one 'MAGA' or any kind of cultist.

Reflexively sharing insults heard from MSNBC or 'The View', however, is not a sign of deep thought or honest introspection.

We are committed, and like it or not you choose a side.

Pay attention to those whose methods and words you share.

My side is the American people. RINO crew.The USA belongs to the people. Not politicians! (This includes I don't care that the people wanted Donald Trump)

You will have to give me highlights of MSNBC and The View. I don't watch, I only channel them.

So why exactly are you still attacking me for our difference of opinion?

I speak from experience. In my thirty five years in the steel industry, do you know how many sales meetings we had focusing on how we could lower prices? Take a guess? The answer is a big ZERO! None. Nada. Prices are getting ready to go up for everybody. Companies not even affected by the tariffs are going to raise prices. Why? Because they can.

The naivete of some of the old farts on this board is astounding. And yes, you are the first in line right behind the Pied Piper, Donald J. trump. The lower and middle classes are about to get crushed.

I am not attacking for a difference of opinion, I am holding you to task for your disparagement of valid plans and your tacit support of the obstruction by district judges, not to mention the continued refusal of the media to be anything like objective.

Damn son, you saying you don't realize your hard to the left lean?

BREAKING: President Trump’s 2026 budget proposal would ‘effectively dismantle’ the Section 8 program. pic.twitter.com/5gU6E4NkvD

— Leading Report (@LeadingReport) May 5, 2025

The claim that President Trump’s 2026 budget proposal would dismantle Section 8 is supported by evidence. The proposal aims to cut $26 billion by ending federal vouchers, replacing them with state-run grants, and imposing a two-year cap for able-bodied adults. This could impact…

Dude. You are totally off the rails and are being irrational. When did I ever say anything about supporting obstruction by district judges? I have not. I give Trump an A+ on locking down the border. I hope the Supreme Court rules in his favor and these obstructionist judges get their wings clipped.

My gripe with Trump is he has TOTALLY f$#+ked up foreign policy and especially international trade. In Biden like fashion. He will potentially not only tank our economy but the world economy if he stays the course.

Hard to the Left? C'monnnnnn Mannnnn!!!!! I am just calling balls and strikes. You apparently have lost what little bit of objectivity you ever had. Just a MAGA robot no longer able to think for himself.

R2 compares Trump to Biden (confirming what I just said), but wants to claim I'm the one "off the rails".

Not a very good response to my post. Take a deep breath and try again.

With Donald Trump, perhaps we will see the end of the world or the " Golden age of the USA". I am certainly prepared for either scenario because there is really not a damn thing you or I can do about it. Enjoy each and every day, my friend. Don't waste any of them. Life is precious. You and me bickering back and forth is really kinda silly.

Actually, very much on-point and restrained.

Your screen must have spittle all over it from the way you expectorate every time you go after Trump.

You make wild claims about Trump "tanking" the economy when no real effects are happening yet.

Just admit you are cheering against the men trying to solve this mess.

Just admit you have bought into full-blown Debby-Downer mode.

Pretending I am the crazy one, well son that's just weak projection and will only fool the people who thought Biden was actually making decisions the last 3 years he was in office.

** sigh **

for the record, I like and respect R2, but we strongly disagree on throwing a tantrum bc you don't understand the plan.

R2 You have no concept of international trade and the strength of our current negotiation position.

Check back in 12 months not 12 weeks.

Tank the economy. That is an MSNBC talking point if I ever heard one.

The "We are King Kong and how dare anybody **** with us" strategy just does not sit well with me. Sorry.

We need cooperation and for others to want to do business with us. Not just do business with us because they have to. Trump will be here 3 1/2 more years. We need to look beyond that and establish good relationships now. I don't like our country's ENTITLED approach. Not sure the rest of the world does either. Hope Trump can right this ship but we shall see. I am pulling for him.

So why didn't your idol go ahead and "fix" the economy in his first term? Why did he let us get "ripped off" his first four years in office? (And I will say outside of Covid, the economy was great.)

I don't have an idol. That is not scriptural. I have my faith in Jesus and him alone.

Let me refresh your memory. Russiagate, two false impeachment, resistance from the Swamp, shall I go on or is it coming back to you now?

President Trump's first term was sidetracked by the Dimicrats and the Washington insiders. They thought the had won when they cheated in 2020 .....but .....he is back !!

The best thing that happened to America,was the stolen election of 2020. That allowed the Trump team to form an Army of Patriots and they came into these 4 years prepared to correct the total incompetence in the White House of the last 4 years.

Settled down, pop some popcorn and watch America be transformed into its Golden Age .

The Dims are lost, lost.....lost. They are losing the Hispanic vote, the black vote, the Unions ( except for teachers) and the young vote. They can not recover from that shift in voting patterns if it continues ues

The Dims chose to die on the wrong end of every 80 / 20 issue. A recipe for disaster.

Yes, President Trump is bold, brash and often speaks his mind instead of the politically correct statement.....but he is right on 95% of the issues and that is what is important.

It takes a bull in a China cabinet to correct the disaster that is Washington, DC and we elected just that.

No one here is rooting for Trump to be wrong. Trump is wrong, we are all F-ed.

You have gotten to the point where you can't question Trump. If someone does, the attacks start.

Let's face it, you are more about supporting the Cult of Trump than objectively evaluating what and how he is doing it. Calling Trump on his idiocy has nothing to do with Biden. Trusting Mr Atlantic City blindly is a dangerous path...

A parting gift, as I am off to Hawaii for 2 weeks for vacation. You have become Mr. Donald...

TDS mantra: "Trump is a crazy fascist who is going to destroy democracy, the economy, the earth itself, and anyone who disagrees with me on a single aspect of that a card-carrying MAGA cultist."

Every time I see something like those memes of Trump dressed as Pope I laugh.....in no small part because I know how it will drive his detractors to fits of rage. It's his super-power = inflaming the vanities of the left. In reality, he's been doing timely memes like that incessantly since he began his campaign for 2024. And things worked out OK for him. However much they irritate his detractors, his supporters LOVE them.

You are dead on there. He took the JFK blue suit and smile and made it reality TV. At some point, we have to realize that entertainers do not necessarily Govern well. Reagan was a forged through the Governorship of CA and not getting the Nomination several times. He learned the job and kept the communication skills. Trump, not so much.

Keep pushing the TDS... Bannon would be proud. Another cardinal rule of politics. If someone takes on your position, even if they are right, discredit them. Create a label and keep saying it. You got that one down...

Another example is Trump and that fist in the air, very Goebell's-esque.

Agree with you 100 percent here. The Gulf of Arabia? What the Hell? Who really gives a damn?

Once again, President Leonidas seems to have a knack for creating more controversy and problems. Totally baffling to me when there are so many critical issues to deal with already on his plate.
