Seriously thinking of removing FOX from my list of 6 news sources. I believe they have gone the way of CNN. Quite good at the start but now it’s jus “click bait”. Sorry to see…. Boy do I miss Rush!

If they are starting to bother you some of the news sources I read and watch would probably make you smash your TV with a hammer.
Best to force yourself to listen to opinions you disagree with. Very hard to defeat an enemy you don't understand.

Display MoreI honestly wonder what it would take for people to realize that Trump is your downfall. He is like the pied piper playing a flute and you are all the rats. I guess nowadays they call them sheeple.
My question, what would it take for you to realize he is a complete scumbag, and could not care less about anyone but himself?
Don't care about how corrupt Hillary is, Bidens son is, or even Biden himself, or how the election was stolen, cheated, whatever. We all hear it over and over again. We are talking Trump here.
This forum says conservative politics, not Qanon style extreme right wing politics. WTF people, Its easy, pick a better Republican candidate that will actually win and might have a teensie bit more value that Trump. Why stay latched on to that POS.
Being from Canada and totally bought in on all the negatives on Trump I will tell you why Trump.
1.) Secure borders - imagine if the 100’s of thousands of illegal migrants were bypassing the US invading Canada - would you find Biden’s open border policy acceptable?
2.) Trump made the US energy independent - now we are begging countries that hate us for oil.
3.) Trump pushed USA first agenda - not bow to China - didn’t care if he was liked - world leaders were wary of him - way better for peace than the weak old fool in there now.
4.). The economy flourished in the Trump years.
That is just the top items I can think of off the top of my head. There are many more. So I guess you are right - I am a sheeple - I would rather follow Trump to the bank than Biden to the poorhouse!!

yes there are people that will vote for A every time - and the people that would vote for B will never understand them - never ever

Like I have said in the past, I didn't like him before he was prez. Being prez didn't change that
ok, so based in the positive aspects you mentioned, is there anything he can do that would change your mind on being a supporter? Especially with issues regarding top secret documents and therefore possible espionage or treason? Would that not change your mind? Or regardless you are ok with that?

this is what I find interesting about the obsessed liberal mind. Seriously look at what you wrote “you don,t care how corrupt Hillary is, Bidens son is, or even Biden himself” your words so you don’t care if the current president is corrupt or his son who can directly impact hm is corrupt- - - but do care if an ex president that no longer holds any public office might be corrupt
Shouldn’t the most important topic be the guy who is actually in office?
hate Trump, Love Trump I don’t care, he is gone he is the past what
I do care about is the terrible job the current administration is doing. I do care that inflation is up like 9% over a years ago and my income is not. Trump has nothing to do with that Joe Biden does, it’s his job and he’s not doing it!

The cornerstone of American jurisprudence - NOT guilty until convicted by a jury of your piers. Democrats and the liberal media has tried everything they possibly can to bring Trump down with not ONE indictment yet. If it was ever proven that he broke the law I would expect him to answer for that crime and he would lose my support. There is much more evidence out there right now to indict Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden and the DOJ remains feckless. I believe in equal justice under the law - other than his personality - what can you convict Trump of ??

What accusations levied against President Trump have any been proven to any extent? These very same accusations have been charged against Hillary Clinton and Former President Obama. Did you know that?
https://www.newsmax.com/judgea…fbi/2016/01/28/id/711562/
Among the data that the FBI either found on the Clinton server or acquired from the State Department via its responses to Freedom of Information Act requests is a top-secret email that has been denominated Special Access Program. Top secret is the highest category of state secrets (the other categories are confidential and secret), and of the sub-parts of top secret, SAP is the most sensitive.
SAP is clothed in such secrecy that it cannot be received or opened accidentally. Clinton, who ensured all of her governmental emails came to her through her husband's server, a nonsecure nongovernmental venue, could only have received or viewed it from that server after inputting certain codes. Those codes change at unscheduled times, such that she would need to inquire of them before inputting them.

MEANWHILE as they keep us busy with the trump raid look what just came to light. The dems really never disappoint, i mean how much morr fucking obvious can you make it that you are BALLS DEEP IN corruption with China. Look real close to the two clowns on her side amd their reactions when she is asked the question 🤣
More sources on the matter. Now we know what Pelosi and Biden BOTH have in common. BOTH of their children have made millions with foreign governments while using their family name and power to acquire it. No shame, no fear of repercussion whatsoever and why would they really? The US Media is in their pocket, and the FBI is also their pocket. No worries, LIFE is good when you are a lifelong US high ranked government official.

you're taking it out of context. I don't care how corrupt they are within my question. Questions get sidetracked with questions. IE, Trump slagging, becomes what about Hillary, or Biden. No going off on tangents. I have no problem saying it as a Canadian, the guy in office is doing a crap job. Just like the guy in office up here.
I am about as much a Liberal as you are a Republican. I just don't believe all the hoax, fraud, Qanon conspiracy theories.
Yes he is gone, but he is still himself, trying to be top of mind. He won't let it go, hence why others won't.
Get a better Republican leader, things might change. Many current GOP want him out. Only the hardliners wanting his money keep his spirit alive. The GOP needs to agree on a candidate to win, not to split as they currently are.
Inflation is up everywhere, in pretty much every country. That is due to COVID, the Russia- Ukraine war, and China. Like it or not, the majority of stuff is made CHEAP, across the pond. Now with shipping costs increased exponentially, China shutting down, backups at the ports in US, and manufacturing delays, and labor shortages, it not a wonder prices have increased. Add in governments giving away money. For the US, Trump just had to leave before it really hit home. It's not a switch, it takes time for things to be realized.
Biden while doing a horrible job in general I believe, also has the fallout from the past admin to deal with as he is in power.
As its a world wide problem, Biden is just a small piece. He didn't cause this to happen in every other country.
The more stuff like this ^ leaks out of all the corruption in Washington, the more I will support a guy like Donald Trump. It only tells me one thing, the political war on Trump is ONLY because he threatens every single thing they have worked so hard for. The corruption, shady dealings, treason etc etc, only a guy that didnt follow the "program" and started really looking and pointing fingers could destroy this MAFIA and he needs to be stopped by all means from ever becoming president again.

HOW TO CATCH WILD PIGS
You can catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods where wild pigs frequent and placing an adequate amount of corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the area where they are used to coming. When they get used to the section of fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that small change in environment and start to eat again. You continue this process until you have all four sides of the fence up, with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to eating the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat. When you see that they all are peacefully eating the free corn, you slam the gate shut on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. They eventually accept their situation and soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are now owned. They are not free to do what they used to be able to do.
That is exactly what is happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communist and Socialist values and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. In other words, they are increasing the population's dependence on the government's handouts and we as a society continue to lose our freedoms, independence, and self-sufficiency, just a little at a time with every entitlement and "Free" program that is implemented and accepted as normal.

the only thing you left out about catching wild pigs is when you have them all in the trap you stop feeding them and they will start eating each other or you can just shoot the bastards -- now were talking about wild pigs here right ---

Government deception. - - workforce participation rate is now 62.1%
This is typical government number manipulation - - they don't want to admit that unemployment numbers are horrific and they like to act like its some great thing when a few new jobs are created, but its all smoke and mirrors
As soon as a person gives up and decides to stop looking for work the government excludes them from "the workforce" anyone on welfare or otherwise not looking for work simply is removed from "the workforce" and not included it the unemployment percentage calculations
Seriously how can you say unemployment is currently at 3.5% when only 62.1% for working age people are participating in the workforce??????
wouldn't it actually be much better to have 10% unemployment with 85% workforce participation??
Smoke & mirrors and stupid people simply believe what they tell them
in the end someone has to support all of those people who have chosen not to participate in the workforce and as such shouldn't that cost be considered and those people be included when calculating unemployment percentages??

Life is simpler when someone thinks like you Sparcky . Unfortunately, I lived 13 years of my life in full blown "communism" as a Cuban citizen so yes my brain is wired completely different. Just because we dont agree politically does not mean we can't sit down and have some good rum and cigars one day brother.
