I don't even understand what you are saying.  I found Nationalist in the dictionary, how does not finding my username in the dictionary have anything to do with anything?  I could say that I couldn't find drafterman in the dictionary too, but that would just feed on to your nonsensical response.

Is White Chicks a racist movie?  No, it is just funny, but why is that?  It's because white people don't care.  We could get all upset about it, when they used stereotypes to poke fun, but we laugh too.  Or do white people not have stereotypes, just like black people can't be racist?

How many of these top earners do you know?  And how do you know how hard they work or have worked for their money?

Did you know that 1400 people in the US paid for about 50% of all taxes in 2016?  You think they should pay more than that?  Also, you do know that to balance out a UBI like that would raise prices for everything, and we would still be in the same situation.

I would be completely irate if someone accused me of something as heinous as that which never happened.  If he didn't get upset about this whole thing, I would be skeptical of him.  

You are right, he is not going to admit to it if it did happen, but we cannot rely on just an accusation.  Have you ever dated a girl before?  Have you ever made one mad, purposefully or accidentally?  I'm a good person, and have never been vengeful, plotting, scheming or diabolical, I have been hurt but I move on.. this is usually what men do, but every woman I have ever known doesn't.  They will try to alienate you from your friends and family, spread rumors, any way to make your life miserable, they will do until they either find a new man that they are not dating just to make you jealous.  

I suggest you don't date a woman, or this is what might happen to you.

Regardless of who is getting nominated or confirmed, Democrats were going to do everything and anything they can do in order to delay or get him ousted.  It would go on and on and on.

This just proves the lengths that the left is willing to go to protect R v W.  Ruin a Scotus nominated judge's life to keep his vote out.  I am pro-choice, but would never ruin someone's life over their beliefs. 

I still don't believe that RvW will ever be overturned.  I think people are making too much of this. 

You and everyone else who say they believe Ford are blinded in order to protect a woman's right to choose.  You admit that this is the main issue here. And it is despicable.

Since Kavenaugh had to reveal personal information of him being a virgin throughout High school, I think Ford should have to answer if she ever had an abortion or not, which would give add to motive to perger herself if she felt this strongly about it. The world is too soft to believe anyone would fib in order to save the future choice of women.  In the mind of the left and Democrats, this would be a small price to pay to save a women's right to choose, and I believe many women would lie about anything for this cause.

I feel the same way about women who sit in front of abortion clinics and make women feel bad about themselves when entering the location, or when they lie out in the driveway of the place making it impossible to enter.  These protesters who feel it is their life's work to stop people from doing things they don't believe in have psychological problems. 

I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that someone is paying her to make these false accusations.  

Did you get my "crumbs" reference?

Why is the right so evil?  Labels, grouping, victimization is the lefts way of justifying their needs, it has not changed since the days of slavery even though many say it has.  The more you get into the government running things, which encompasses universal healthcare and a larger shift to socialism, the more we all become slaves. 

But I don't call you evil, we just have a difference of opinion.  The left is so hostile.

And this business about supporters of Trump being mostly uneducated is a sham.  Everyone I know that hates Trump have no idea what is going on in the country, what policies are being made, how the economy has been boosted, and how Trump actually manipulates things to get what he wants accomplished, which were all promises he made during his campaign, no other president has followed through with campaign promises as much as Trump has in my lifetime... These people are not informed because they are listening to other people who are passing around what they have seen on biased news outlets.  All of these people are under-educated, and easily offended. 

McConnell is crafty, but Trump is even more crafty.  McCain was a big loss for the left. 

I really don't think your blue wave is coming.  There is a wave, but it is a wave from very loud people who get themselves in the spotlight and make it seem, to the people who agree with them, that there are 200 million in the same boat.

Jeff Bezos is behind the times.  He is all about the money, and people don't see that because he claims he is on the left.  Wallmart employees still make more money than his warehouse workers, but you don't see them on every news channel in the world.  This was a publicity stunt, and to raise $13.00 an hour to $15.00 is not that much, but better (but that is still crumbs to ...  It's a good thing for Amazon employees, but not a good thing for the whole country to have that min wage risen... It will just make everything more expensive, inflation will take it's toll, and it will all even itself out, in the end, no one will be better off.

There is also too much money circulation lost with decriminalization.  This is probably the main reason no one has adopted what you say seems to work elsewhere.  No fees going to the government, less arrests and fines by officers, money lost in jailing people, some lawyers would have to find new types of cases to take on.  It would be a major shift and many people would be hurt if this was enacted.  

The above is probably the main reason, but there may be cultural reasons of why it wouldn't work as well.  Just like I don't believe free universal healthcare would work in the US.  It may work for the time being in some Northern European Countries with supplemental wealth and revenue being generated from other sources by the Government.   But I think we will soon bare witness to the system failing once the money runs out and it backfires. Only time will tell.

It is tough to integrate an experiment and change our whole way of life... what if it doesn't work?  We would be back to square one after a huge shift.

There are people out there that have never been caught with drugs, have no criminal record, but their lives have been directly ruined by them.  I know many of these people, in fact I have lived with quite a few of them, opened my doors to help them get back on their feet to no avail, have given them a free place to stay.  I live with one now that has lost her 4 kids, her income, her registration was lapsed which ended up ultimately losing her license, then her cars repossessed.  She is on the right track to getting her life back, but it will be another year or two before she can afford to house her kids, or even spend the night with them and relapse is always a possibility.  Having kids and subjecting them to that lifestyle without any consequences is beyond immoral. 

I don't think she is the only person in this situation.  I'm no stranger to empathy and understand how hard it is to break these habits, but I think if she had been in trouble with the law in the past, she would not be in the situation she is now.  She went beyond what her body could handle, checked herself into a psych ward, then they kicked her out, but she was nowhere near rehabilitated.  Just last weekend, she relapsed.  

I should kick her out but she will have nowhere to go.

Very interesting article though.  Good stuff.  I think some things may work in other countries that just won't work in ours.  I am not discounting this completely.

There is a reason it is against the law.  You think people just arbitrarily make laws?  We are not dogs that understand reward training more than discipline, that is why we don't get rewarded for not doing anything wrong.  We understand the consequences of breaking the law.... if you don't want to go to jail, don't do it.  It's that simple. However, It is not that simple in the opioid crisis.  People are given too many painkillers at too high of a dose for pain after accidents, surgeries and the like, then they either become addicted, or they give them away for other people to become addicted.  When they have no more they must resort to the cheaper street drug Heroin because the withdrawal symptoms are unbearable.  That is when they overdose or commit more crime to procure it.  These people need a bit more sympathy and help to kick the habit.  Not the people that have no reason to take them in the first place.

I know the history of alcohol.... don't get me wrong, I love alcohol, but it is a huge problem in our society.  I know multiple people that have died of alcohol poisoning as well as liver failure, people very close to me.... but that is not the sole reason I think it should be outlawed.  It's the change in people's behavior, it's the ability to black out and not know what you are doing.  People fight, argue, fall, crash, make bad decisions.

I believe the war on drugs could have been better, but it is necessary.  You think we would be better off if we legalized everything? and you think these people would take them in moderation?  You think we would not have an opioid crisis if it were legal?  It would be much worse.

Progressives put too much faith in people.  I was addicted to opioids in the past, but kicked the habit, it started recreational then turned into something else.  I was then admitted to the hospital with pneumonia, and almost died, that is when I stopped.  I know more than you think about drugs and what they can do, and how they ruin lives and families.  They are a detriment to us, they should and always will be illegal, and there will always be a war on them because smart people make those decisions. 

The true drug dealers need to be addressed though... That would be the doctors and the pharmaceutical companies.

When it comes to video games, you could compare that to cats, or some people that are addicted to eating their foam mattresses, or hoarders.  You can't make that stuff illegal because it does not change your body chemistry.   

Alcohol is the only existing legal drug that has effect on your judgement.  Like I said, if we could go back in time, we would have made it illegal.  Tobacco has no effect on your judgement, caffeine has no affect on your judgement or your personality.  The rest are by prescription only, or completely illegal.

If you put it on a scale of pros and cons.... it is a con, it may not be actual criteria.  My point is it changes who you are, your personality, just like other drugs do.... I agree with a prescription, but not full scale legality.

I'm sure Fortnite has also brought people together as well... so has spirits, but I still think that we would make spirits illegal if we could, but there is too much money in it and it would be prohibition all over again. 

The reason that is a news article is because it is so ridiculous, it's almost satire, and further proves how quickly people of the new generations give up on their relationships.  I'm talking about mind altering drugs, not morons who can't get away from video games long enough to spend time with their families.  (and the moron doctors who call it a disorder giving them an excuse..... but, but, but, it's been recognized by the World Health Organization as a disorder!)  Give me a break, get off your butt and do something different.

What are we, all identifying as 12 year olds now?

Correction "cite that position"

Ok.  That is like saying alcohol is not a factor when it comes to break-ups or divorces.  Do I really need to site that position or is that BS as well?

Weed would be the same way.  It changes your personality, some people it makes more agreeable, some people it makes them less agreeable, some people get lazy, others get happy, some go crazy, some get dumber.  The point is it changes who you are normally.... So when someone that did not smoke before decides to take it up because it is now legalized, then smokes all the time, the spouse will probably think "this is not the person I married", which will ensue arguments, then an ultimatum.  

I don't need stats to come to that determination.

I agree.  I don't understand why so many on the right seem like they have to be pro-life.  If they want to be pro-life, then they should agree to pay for healthcare, welfare, and everything that comes along with the costs of bringing a life into this world.  This is the hypocrisy of the right.

Then the hypocricy of the left is, if they claim to be the party that speaks for people who can't speak for themselves, who can't speak more than an unborn baby?

It boggles my mind.

You can still be all of those adjectives and not be an elite, or privileged, but I was more referring to all of the youth of today.  There a parents out there buying I phones outright (Freaking $1000) for kids that just can't afford them because they don't want the kid to be left out.  I have friends that are passing on health insurance for themselves so they can buy their kids non necessities.  I remember a time when my parents couldn't afford things, and they would flat out tell me, we can't afford that.  

Maybe that is still happening these days, but I guess I just don't see it, or the definition of what is affordable has changed quite a bit.

Do you think literacy is a big issue for parents and kids (as mentioned above)?  My neighborhood is mostly POC, and I have many conversations with blacks as we cross each others paths walking dogs, (it's a good way to meet people) I used to have a pit bull, or American Staffordshire Terrier (which is the same thing depending on who you ask and what books you read).  I have done extensive reading on the dogs because I owned one.  Her name was Avery, that is why I was DAvery on DDO.  She passed away a few years back.

Now I own a Husky named Blaze, hence the new name.  

Anyhow, I noticed that every black person that I have come across that has a Rottweiler calls them Rockweilers.  Literally, every single one, and not many have really heard of American Staffordshire Terrier that have Pit bulls.  I can only come to the conclusion that they have never read one single book about the dog that they own, which makes me think they don't care about the dog and it's well being.  So, we exchange pleasantries and I move on.... judging.  And yes I judge when they don't pronounce the kind of dog that they have correctly.

Do you have any insight on this phenomenon?  Is it a cultural thing?  Or am I correct on my assumption that they have never really seen the word spelled out?

Again, I am judging on the way they say the word, not the color of their skin. I have never heard a white person call it a Rockweiler.

Yes, but people trying to achieve is different from people complaining and expecting reparations, and many expecting reparations or hand-outs don't try because they believe the system should give them the opportunities instead of looking for them on their own, I call that spoiled.  They are sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Spoiled is not owned/designated to only the rich and privileged... just like I believe blacks can be racist.  I'm still confused on how you or anyone else can say that they cannot be.  I don't think I will ever understand that.

When a black person says they don't like white people, that to me is racist.  I have heard that from mainstream artists, and on the streets and apparently it is okay.  I beg to differ.  

I don't like a lot of black people, but I don't like a lot of white people either,  I don't like a lot of Asians too, but to say I don't like a whole particular race is racist.  This is based on personality and not the color of their skin.  

We now live in an era of victims.  Have you noticed?  It's not only blacks and minorities, it is anyone who has been hurt by anyone else in the past, it's bullies, it's corporations, it's the government, it's capitalism, it's healthcare or lack there of, it's ancestors, it's old white men, it's minorities, it's immigration, it's illegal immigration...etc. (I have found myself doing this as well). The truth is we live in the best country in the world.... But....    We are now a country of placing blame on everyone else but ourselves.... not taking responsibility for our actions, which we are mostly responsible for.  If we are unhappy, there is always someone to blame, and if there is someone unhappy that complains about it, people feel empathy, without even knowing the full story and get unhappy for them.

We have a right to be happy, we have a right to be unhappy, we have a right to be mean to people, we have a right to have a bad day and take it out on people that don't deserve it, we have a right to make a mistake.....

But it seems that we have forgotten that most of the blame for where we are and what situations we have gotten ourselves into is mostly our own fault.  (at least 75%)

I think this is an era of spoiled people who will never be satisfied with what we have.

I think the world is getting smaller.  Things you wouldn't hear about in other states that was only reported on local news to a specific area back in the day, is now being sent country wide via 24 hour news networks and social media.  I still think things like this are happening less and less, but more and more peoplpe are hearing about it, which then causes more minorities to stand up to authority figures, which whites just don't do, we do what they say, and if we don't, we admit that we deserved what we got.  If you look at every video that is questionable as far as discrimination, police brutality, or the like, something combatant was said by the "victim" that just would not be said by white people in the same situation (you can say that whites wouldn't be in that situation in the first place, there may be some truth to that), but if we were, we wouldn't talk back.   You had mentioned on DDO in the past about classes that young blacks take to prepare them to combat potential racism, prejudice, or profiling and how to deal with it in the future.  

If these classes do exist, what I would take from that class is to expect it because it is inevitable, when it may not necessarily be the case in each of these situations.  Are they also taught not to consider the circumstance before jumping to the racist conclusion?   I would venture to say that most situations blaming racism are just a misunderstanding, but people are quick to pull the race card, then become irate because of it blowing an absolutely innocent misunderstanding way out of proportion.

Good analogy.  Just playing devil's advocate... That is what I do.  I agree with you 99.9999 percent (probably the percentage of the coin flip), although I don't think the uneducated, which is a lot of his support base, will use the kind of critical thinking required to come to that conclusion.

Third scenario.  Trump puts this out himself....making it appear as if one or the other is true.  Yet all three scenarios make him look weak. 

Doubtful, but it is a scenario.

Because some of them can't read the road signs.  I saw an old Asian woman almost get smashed the other day by a car because she walked when it said don't walk.  Now this might be just because she is old, and could have happened to anyone, but I really don't think so.  She had no idea.  This is a very busy intersection, and it isn't the first time I have seen this.

Whites are a minority here, you said you know the area, not because more people are coming in but also because more whites are moving out.  There are many reasons why it affects me, most would take too long to explain... but the main thing is customer service in stores, drive through's, and other entry level positions where the only requirement to speak English; is way too much to ask.   No longer are the positions being held by kids trying to learn how to work and make an extra buck for spring break.  It is now by people who can't speak English in these humongous stores that you can't find anything in, and they a jam-packed with thousands of people that throw things around making it even harder to find what you are looking for.

I tried to ask an employee at wall mart where the laundry baskets were in the store, she didn't know what I was talking about, then I said hamper, she pointed to an isle that had nothing to do with what I was asking, I moved on, up and down isles until I found them.  

I went to CVS the other day looking for the condiments (I admit kind of in a hury), asked a clerk and they didn't know what I was looking for, then I went more specific with Mayonnaise, and they still didn't know, then came Ketchup, and finally they understood.  That is when I knew I had had it.

That has been the reason for Chinatown.... kids go there on field trips to see what it is like, that might be fine if it is built for that purpose, but not in random places throughout the US.  The reason for new additions like what you are referring to will be segregation.  

Drive up and down 355 from Frederick Md. to Washington DC, and you will see what I mean.  A grouping of shopping centers, retail, and residences ranging from apartments to condos for up to 5 blocks are dedicated to certain ethnicity, one area will be Indian, one area will be Korean, another will be Ethiopian or Indonesian, where everyone only speaks their own language.  People outside of these ethnicity do not venture in quite often. 

They even have their own banks. For instance Great Wall (a Supermarket), I don't think I need to say from what country, is right next to the Asia Bank, which is huge.  Which then is backed up by a shopping center with all Asian food, and Asian catered businesses with names that only people that can read the language know what they are and what they do.  This has all happened in the past 5 years.  Think about what will happen in the next 10 or 15 years.

For people to move in to these places, other people have to move out.  Guess who is moving out.

It's just a reason for immigrants not to learn the language, which does not help to give incentive, and it is an example of America being taken advantage of because we are so accepting others, but we don't like our own.  The American dream is now not the American dream.  It is now the immigrant dream of bringing their country into our country.... At least give us the ability to communicate with one another.    

.

Immigrants should come here and embrace us, not the other way around.  If they like their heritage and their culture so much, why move here in the first place?  If we continue to do what we are doing, there will be little countries all over the US.  And these countries will look exactly like the countries that the immigrants in mass moved from.

Ok.  If you are a citizen and you do not speak English, you do not have to do your civic duty of Jury Duty. 

There is a difference between expanding your business, and moving to another country to buy/open a business.  I don't think it would be possible for an American to move to any of those countries, purchase a small business and run it effectively without knowing the native language.  You would have to hire someone to run it for you which would not be profitable if you are there as well.  Why would anyone do that anyway?

You might invest in a company, or purchase it, but not move there because you would have other ventures here in America, which might give you a bit more disposable income, but you couldn't spend all your time on it.   That being said, most people purchasing/starting small businesses want to run it themselves because it is costly to start a business, and turning a profit doesn't usually happen for years down the road.  That is why you will see owners doing a lot of the crap work that you would think they would hire someone for.  

The only way it would be feasible is if there was a segregated area for Americans in said countries, which there isn't, but there is in the US, and they are building..I don't know about you but I don't want thousands of Chinatowns, 1 or 2 is fine.  (just an example)

Try moving to Mexico/ El Salvador/ Ecuador without knowing any Spanish, even knowing the basics is not enough.  I've been to those countries traveling with people fluent in Spanish, and was not allowed to leave the dwelling by myself, and for good reason, and these were far from bad neighborhoods... When I did leave with them, I saw why I shouldn't go out.  You want to feel like you don't belong?  Go to one of those countries without knowing the native language..... 

The funny thing is, the only place I felt comfortable was Costco, because it looks exactly the same and so did the customers.

I want America to be different from those countries, but I also don't want us to be taken advantage of because we are so accepting.  That seems to be what is happening.  

Refugees are not who I am talking about.  I don't think people fleeing oppression are coming here buying up store fronts, houses, restaurants and commercial buildings.

I'm talking about people that are somewhat well off moving to the country without learning a lick of the language.  Try moving to French Canada and not learning any French and see how they treat you.  

I am all about helping the oppressed as long as they are actually oppressed, but I am not about giving entry to people from other countries because they couldn't make enough money to survive on their own accord.

My point is... I would never move to another country without learning the language. Even some countries dialects and accents need practice to understand, and its the same language (like Scotland).  I didn't say there aren't other people that do it, but I doubt there a more people leaving the US doing this than coming in.  And let's say I had no choice for some reason or another, like a job transfer, I would at least learn a bit of it before I went, or have someone with me that did speak the language.  You wouldn't believe the amount of stores, restaurants, retail spaces, landlords, Assisted Living houses etc.  that have their own customers, or tenants, neighbors, or just random people call me requesting service because they (the owner and potential customer) cannot speak English (sometimes they get mad that there is no one on staff that speaks their language).. and no acquaintances can speak English either. 

It is very, very frustrating on my end.  But I guess I see the worst of it because of the industry I am in.  

Here is what I see happening.  Someone makes some money in their own country, saves it up, purchases a business, commercial property or rental properties in the US, then moves here to run said business, but never even thinks about learning the language, or cares about it. 

Or, they purchase the business from relatives that have already been here, making it easier to not only become a citizen, but change ownership without learning the language. 

Let's say it is a shopping center they purchase, they end up converting the shopping center into an ethnic shopping center centered around the country they are from, basically because they moved to an area that is predominantly their own culture. 

All of these scenarios makes sense in so many different revenue/profitable ways, unfortunately it is to the detriment of the US.   

It changes a persons personality, causes hallucinations (if you have the really good stuff), makes some people dumb... like yours truly.  Then it also leads to other things... it will be bad on people's lungs, some people can't handle marijuana and freak out, checking themselves into hospitals because they think they are going to die, but ultimately don't.  Do you know of any legal (or over the counter) drug that sometimes freaks you out, or gives you a panic attack?  I don't unless you take extreme amounts of it.  

With Marijuana, you don't need that much to freak someone out if it does not settle with them.

Don't you think it is a bit misleading when you say 13% of the population is this or that?  What we really need to address is that some areas of the country are 80% this or that, or even 100% this or that.  In my area, it is now 70% of the population are immigrants, mostly African, Spanish, Asian, or Indian.  If you were born in my area around my age, regardless if you are minority or not, the demographic change has driven you away.  Most don't even realize that is why they decided to move, or they just don't admit it.   Try to order a coffee at Dunkin Donuts drive through around here and see if you understand what they say....or if they understand what you say.   It gets really annoying.

I grew up in the same location that I live in now.  No one that I grew up with lives here anymore.  They have all moved North to more rural areas, only to be replaced by more immigrants here.  I have no problem with immigration, but I do have a problem with the inevitable segregation that occurs, and the lack of motivation to learn English.  I would never move to another country and not know the language, it's just dumb..... but people do it here, why?  

Because they can find an area that most people speak their language and have the same culture, why would you move anywhere else?  This causes the segregation of culture and heritage.  Not the America that I think we intended.

We made a mistake by not regulating booze legally, then realizing how bad it is, we tried to take it back during prohibition, but it was too late.  Do we want to make the same mistake with a psychedelic drug?  What is next?  This will just cause the divorce rate to rise even more.

I understand that.  I don't know, is it an infringement of a persons first amendment right of Social Media  to decide to suspend an account without the user clearly breaking the rules of the site?  Or would possibly be classified as discrimination?  I would think it would be one or the other.  Unless it does not matter either way because it is a private business.  

I'm kinda going back and forth on this.  

Did you not see my new medication post?  I blame that for everything today on my part.  I'm surprised I am able to do my job right now.  I need to get used to it, then I will be back on the ball.

I did say this earlier though.

I meant there is more than just the 1st amendment at stake.  I didn't debunk anything, it depends on what the laws are on social media and if they do apply to free speech.  I'm not sure what they are, or how they apply (if at all), but I would think that twitter can ban whoever they want... (or is it the same legal issues as the cake chef, and the gay marriage?) It might be, only there is no religious belief to stand behind.  So Twitter may find themselves in a lawsuit for discrimination?  Very doubtful though.

I just said that I agree that I don't think it applies because it is a private business,  I just don't know the laws regarding social media and how they are allowed to expel customers from their services. 

The stifling of free speech does make sense, but there could be other reasons.  

I don't know much about Jones, don't listen to him.... but if someone on the left were silenced on one of these social media sites, you know they would say it is an infringement of their free speech.  Don't tell me they wouldn't.

They are claiming because Donald Trump took away Brennan's Security clearance, it is an infringement of his free speech.  Explain that one.

Touche! I Made an honest mistake there.  Sorry, new meds making my brain a bit fuzzy, I am going to try and refrain from commenting on any more posts, other than the next couple of sentences. 

I meant there is more than just the 1st amendment at stake.  I didn't debunk anything, it depends on what the laws are on social media.  I'm not sure what they are, or how they apply, but I would think that twitter can ban whoever they want...

It might be, only there is no religious belief to stand behind.  So Twitter may find themselves in a lawsuit.  Very doubtful though.

This is just proof that you don't give a sh!t about the constitution.  As much as I hate left wing bias and main stream media hacks, I don't want them banned.  They have just as much right to say what they want as anyone else.  You can't pick and choose because you do or don't agree with what is said.  I could care less about Alex Jones.  

Although, Twitter is a for profit private company, they can do what they want, so there is more than just the 2nd amendment to look at in this instance.

I agree to an extent with the tweets... but I think he is on to something as well, people like being talked to in their own language.  I think people also like that he has flaws, it proves that he is human... and if any of his accusers or anti-trumpers is scrutinized more than Trump is, or even close to the same amount, those very accusers would be found to be hypocrites.  (That goes for any politician)

I'm a whoever supporter... I was an Obama supporter... I was Bush supporter... I would have been a Hilary supporter, although I disliked her more than the aforementioned.  But for people to say, not my president, is just absurd.  

I do need to catch up on some news though.  I've been out of it for the past week or so.  

Are Trump supporters Closed minded? 

This seems to be the consensus with all establishment types and anti-Trumpers.  I think it is the exact opposite....Trump does not act presidential, he talks directly to people without always consulting his cabinet, saying what he truly thinks, and also speaking his mind sometimes off the cuff.  This is not what people are used to, so many people hate it.  That being said, so many were sick of the way it has been in the past, which is what won him the presidency, because he is different.  

So to say that trump supporters are closed minded because they like something different from the norm is kind of an oxymoron.  It is the anti-trumpers that are closed minded, and you can't talk them into liking trump, or agreeing with any good.... regardless.  

I admit, some of the things he does I don't agree with, but I certainly don't think he is a national security risk.  A lot seem to think he is, but that is just blowing things out of proportion and dreaming up .0001% chance of bad hypothetical outcomes to certain scenarios.  

You have not paid any attention to the good that has come about with this administration.  All you see is what the media reports to you.  I see both sides, and it is obvious that both sides are bias, but the anti trump position is so illogical it hurts my brain.  The spinning and opinion reporting taken as truth is unbelievable.

As you can see, I don't blame you or call you names, but you do, because you are going off of emotion instead of what is best for the country.  That is ok... I forgive you, and I forgive everyone else who sees me as they do.... They can't help it.  Emotion is a big trigger.
