Now what has Congress accomplished since the 2018 e******n? They are spending their time and OUR money trying to impeach Trump. If they did their JOB that we hired them to do then there would not be a problem. First it is we got to save Mueller from Trump firing him. Then I have positive proof that Trump colluded with Russia. Then it is wait till the report comes out. Then it is we need to see the whole unredacted report, We need to have Mueller testify before Congress. Barr is the presidents personal attorney and needs to be fired or resign. Now everyone is ignoring the fact that this all happened under the Obama administration, the Obama FBI, and the Obama DOJ. People should be asking why was this allowed to happen in the first place.
Now what has Congress accomplished since the 2018 ... (show quote)


We think much alike. I am angry that President Trump is the focus of anger from every Liberal out there when those same people applauded when Obama did the very same things. They blame Trump for his actions when it is really the inactions of Congress that are to blame. Republicans should be up in arms at Democrats for Democrats sitting on their asses, staging walkouts while calling Trump a r****t, having a sit in while on the Congressional floor, taking actions that are decidedly not in the best interests of America by inviting and supporting I*****L a***ns to America, having sanctuary cities and so on. Every American, no matter what side of the political aisle you support should be up in arms when Democratic leaders v**e for any type of freebie for i*****l a***ns while ignoring or turning down money to further the education of Gold Star kids, veterans and the homeless. I can't help but wonder where Common Sense has gone in America. Congress routinely v**es for Billions to be sent to our enemies and those that offer no support to America on the world stage. WTF is that all about?

President Trump is blamed daily for things that Congress does/or not and rather than Republicans standing up for him, they are silent or join with Democrats as RINO, Mitt Romney has done. What a sleaze bag disappointment Romney has become. Trump helped Romney get elected and for payback, Romney stabs Trump in the back.

I am hoping 2020 brings about a whole new group in Congress, people on both sides who actually love and support America.

As far as r********ns; again I say why not.

Social security have you been to a Social Security Office lately.
I'm sure there are people there who have never paid into the system getting
benefits. It looks like the friggin United Nations


The reason, why not, is because there is nobody in America who deserves r********ns. Did some groups get a raw deal? Of course they did, the Irish who were the first s***es, b****s, native Americans, Japanese, all were not represented fairly. But where do we stop. Hell, why don't we just empty the treasury of money and divide it equally among America citizens and start over. Well wait, that won't work because surely some i*****l a***ns, probably every single one of them will b***h and complain wanting there piece of the pie.


Since the end of the Civil war, America has made programs available to lift up the black people in America. I mean lift them up to the tune of literally Trillions of dollars. Some have gotten ahead and literally excelled in life. Many examples can be pointed out where b****s are doing far better now than since the 1960's when in the South there were still signs on water fountains stating, Colored/White. B****s were forced to sit at the back of the bus. But those times have changed. America has change. Today b****s are free to go anywhere, work anywhere, study anywhere, marry who they want. That my friend should be the r********n they are seeking.

Native Americans are receiving money from the U.S. Government. At least some I know are receiving money. They have the opportunity to do every single thing I have done IF they choose to do so. This is no longer the 1880's. Native Americans have the same rights as the rest of us and have for over 100 years now. My question is, when do the payments stop? Will the government still be paying them 100 years from now? I sure hope not. When are people deemed able to live on their own as the rest of us have since the country was opened up back in the 1600's?

At some point Americans need to decide to be Americans rather than Mexican Americans, African Americans and so on. Actually those are the only two groups I can think of where there is a hyphenated name. Even Teddy Roosevelt said around 1905-07 that America should not tolerate hyphenated Americans. You are either American or not. I would be Scottish American but have never heard anybody called that. When my grandparents came here they became Americans. What is the problem that other groups cannot do the same. I wonder how many African Americans have even been to Africa. Perhaps they are Jamaican American instead.

R********ns to anybody, any group will continue to keep the door of r****m open, a door that we all must work together to close once and for all.

It showed the corporations that are still in existence today that profited from s***ery.

My thoughts on r********ns; after listening to what MLK said on the matter.
I say why not.
Am I holding my breath no; and do I ever expect it, nope.
The only reason why the democrats are bringing it up now is because
they don't have anything else to offer.

My last comment on r********ns.
If Trump signed an E/O on r********ns, he wouldn't even have to campaign

There is no way that our economy could withstand the confiscatory taxing policies that would be required to begin to pay for all of these things and then what?

Here's where I think we are heading. Local governments like the large cities in California, will go all the way to socialist kind of governments, taxing the crap out of the rich people that like the climate here, and if they wish to stay in this climate, they will pay. When they do pay, they will be paying for the poor people's free everything, and we'll see if that works locally. I doubt it will, because like you said, they will k**l the goose providing the golden eggs. The climate won't be enough for the rich people to stay. They will simply move like a lot of major companies have already done because of the way that California's EPA and strict manufacturing laws have forced them to do because they couldn't remain profitable. I'm already planning my exit strategy.

You are a wise man. I live in the Santa Barbara area, Carpinteria to be exact. It is incredibly expensive to live there. Fortunately my wife owns her home there or we could never expect to buy anything. I have a house in Idaho and love it here. Thankfully the state of Idaho closed its borders to anybody new wanting to move here. Whenever I ask someone in California why they stay there they, 100% of the time give credit to the weather. But when I mention the extremely high cost of living, homes, gas, groceries, they all say I am correct. But as you have pointed out, they stay. California will become a state where there are rich people and poor people that the rich subsidize. I have a friend who lives in Santa Clarita who is in Arizona this week, looking around and planning his exit stragedy.

It is interesting to note that if I could get my wife to sell her house and move to Idaho she could buy a home like mine, much bigger than hers, and then buy 5-6 more just like it for rentals. But we have a granddaughter a block away so she won't be moving soon.
