    The tax breaks for the rich were just more trickle down bull crap robbing of the treasury by the GOP. Trump's own thieving family of grifters will profit the most.
    And Bernie Sanders is absolutely correct on the economy...
    Trump did not inherit the mess that another Republican handed Obama so do not give Trump credit for the trend that began with Obama's economic recovery.

    Tell them to stay home and BOOM, no humanitarian crisis.

    And let's be clear here, it's their humanitarian crisis, not mine, it doesn't affect me and it's of their own creation.

    I have zero sympathy for them.

    Don't you love liberal logic?

    All good things in the economy are because of Obama but all the bad things are only because of Trump.

    And they actually believe this which is the scary part.

    Well, I'm not rich, but I did keep more of my money in 2018 than I did in 2017....and I got a raise. Something I have not seen for awhile. While I am willing to give Obama some credit, I will not give him credit for the bulk of the recovery. I won't even give all of that to Trump, either.

    So that which will be temporary has you in support of a liar and crook? Low bar you set there.
    See how that works? Have you seen the deficit lately? Where is that fabulous affordable healthcare plan and an infrastructure bill for the USA's crumbling infrastructure? Trump is a fraud and grifter and we New Yorkers have known that for decades.

    Apparently Charlottes Web isn't effective for TDS. I suggest something more potent.

    Well, first off, I will likely be fully retired by 2025. Second, just because I like some things Trump does and I refuse to be brainwashed by the Masters on the left, that does not mean I support Trump.

    Rule #1: Do not talk about the Masters. Lol

    Oh darn.....my one and only child is already set for life. Will likely retire at early 50's.

    So...no one else should be concerned for their futures or those of their kids because you have yours? I see...and the quality of life in a society you live in has no bearing or ripple affect on your life?

    Love the drama. It matches well with the hyperbole.

    The thing is, life is good right now for a lot of people. Many of which haven't had it this good for a decade. Construction is booming. Businesses are hiring.....heck, even KFC offered a signing bonus.....fricking KFC.

    So, I guess the answer is....."yes".

    Wow a KFC signing bonus...I'm certainly going to celebrate that but I do I wonder if that will help cancer patients when the ******-bag in The White House makes sure to take their healthcare and chemo treatment away due to their pre-existing conditions. A bucket of deep fried commercially raised crap should fix whatever is ailing them though.

    That's why Trump is threatening to close the ports of entry? No walls?

    We don't have to change the Constitution to end the anchor baby problem. Simply enforce the laws we already have. The child has to be 18 before they can sponsor an immigrant. They must meet income requirements. They must be responsible for the immigrants until they become citizens.

    Until the baby can meet these requirements, simply deport the parents. If they want to take their child with them, then good for them. If not, they'll go into the foster care system or have to stay with a legal family.

    That's the law. The only reason it's an issue is because some people don't want to obey or enforce the law and don't have the guts or support to change it.

    Yeah, I don't think anchor babies are a significant problem in the grand scheme of things.
    It's asylum that has them wrapped around the axel. They just walk up to a port of entry and ask for it. Kind of like knocking on your back door and you have to let them in even if your house has walls.

    We should abolish our drug war to ease our refugee problem on our southern border.

    But the Democrats say there is no crisis at the border.

    Why do they say that?

    Apprehensions are at an all-time high. We see caravan after caravan arriving.
