    Tim Scott is devastatingly effective.

    ~ OK so this time Trump will not be using any of his own money. He donates his salary. His daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, each forgo their White House salaries. He earned those donations.
    I think many who donate are average working Americans. That tells us something.

    You're very mistaken. The Pledge, as originally written, did not contain the words "under God." That wasn't added until 1954 during the Red Scare.

    That's correct. Communists were known to be atheists for whom the party was God-a secular religion.

    Even now, Communism is anti-religion (its a direct competitor), but fascinatingly Russia and other formerly communist nations are seeing a resurgence of religion.

    Hillary overwhelmed Donnie Dipstick when it came to fundraising in 2016. Being better financed doesn't guarantee victory, remember?

    Nope!

    The term "under god" was ONLY included in 1954.

    Prior to that there was no mention of "under god" in the ORIGINAL Bellamy version.

    I was just watching this Tim Pool commentary about why he will vote Trump.

    At around the 10 minute mark, he mentions how much he despises Canadians, Brits, and Australians for their foreign interference in American elections.

    I haven't seen such interference before-but if so it should be curtailed harsly.

    Ironic coming from a supporter of the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief that has OPENLY called for foreign interference in American elections.

    "Russia, are you listening"

    Then there was the failed attempt to get the Ukraine to do an investigation.

    So HYPOCRISY is alive and well on your side of the aisle.

    I'm not surprised that people do not understand the purpose of the words "under God". They are there because we have God given rights that no man can take away. It has to do with the Enlightenment which is what makes America unique and exceptional. Regardless of whether or not you believe in God, you should learn to appreciate the concept of "God given rights" for without them, you are a slave to the state.

    List the rights that are allegedly "god given" in the Constitution.

    It is always IRONIC to observe those who allege that rights are "god given" while they do their UTMOST to SUPPRESS and DENY rights to MINORITIES.

    Thank God for Russia and Vladimir Putin without whom we would be saddled with saddle bags Crooked Hillary.

    I'm very much hoping that the Russian bots and troll farms are listening to PF because if you are, we Americans need your help dearly. There's no way President Trump can beat pedo Biden fairly so Mr. Putin, if you're listening, please hack the DNC again and send their emails to Wikileaks again! Also puts another $134K into Facebook ads because that worked very well last time. Also, we need more Russian bots on Twitter. Biden will be hard to beat because you know, it's hard to fight someone when they are hiding in the basement all day. Such a cleaver strategy. The man is obviously a genius. We can't possibly beat him because he owns the black voters and they have to vote for him or they lose their black card. If they don't vote for him they will turn white. Also, he's such a great public speaker. There's no way Trump can beat him in a debate. So please Mr. Putin, please help us again and we promise we will sell more uranium than crooked Hillary did.

    Why, can't you read the Constitution? Are you that unaware that the Constitution guarantees you individual rights? Like the right to life, the right to assemble, the right to religious freedom, freedom of speech and the right to bare arms?

    It is always IRONIC to me that those who allege that Republicans deny rights to minorities are of the democrat persuasion, the party that fought a civil war over slavery, the party that for 100 years kept their knees on the necks of African Americans with Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, discrimination and segregation, and to this day deny African Americans the right of school choice, oppress black families, deny them safe neighborhoods and good educations, keep them in poverty stricken segregated ghettos, and consider them too dumb to get a voter ID or deny them their dignity by keeping them dependent on government. Liberal racist dogma is that blacks cannot succeed without the help of white people.

    Overall Night 1 impression: Hope and optimism for American success and the individual will of the people.

    What a stark contrast to last week.
