Lenin as a white male he did screw things up didn't he.
While we are on that point I say we need to add Putin to the list.
When I made the statement about white males I gave no mention of political orientation
But I did intend it to refer to the impact for the most part that those white males as including the ancestors of those that came to America.

There was a time when we as a nation welcomed people to come & live here.
A great part of what we once stood for is what made us great.
The Statue of Liberty is that symbol.

I mention the past only to show that we do have an obligation to be a part of the changes need to bring the fairness for others to the table.
The table where the different voices come together to decide & lay the ground work for the rules that govern the planet.
As I have said before we as a nation can be an agreeing factor or disagreeing factor.
The fork in the road that faces us today.

To have a wall to keep out some flies in the face of what this nation once stood for.
Many still wish to continue to shelter those seeking asylum.

So Floyd, how long have you been a r****t? It is obvious that you cannot see the tremendous advantages Trump brings to b****s, Hispanics, w****s, and all other races. America's middle class is growing again after decades of decline. Factory jobs are on a power surge, thanks to Trump policies on trade, business tax, a regulations. Factory jobs are what fueled the great expansion in the middle class after WW2. They are good-paying jobs that don't require a great deal of advanced education. They went into decline when Japanese cars, steel, and machinery flooded into the country during the 1970s and 1980s. Detroit, where most cars were built, became an economic disaster. Then Bethlehem Steel, which was the largest steel maker in the world at the end of the 1800s, went bankrupt. Technology was hit next as Japan stole our new developments and built them cheaper. This was all made possible by cheap labor in Japan, where workers earned 25 cents on the dollar compared with American union wages. China got into the act next, filling Wal Mart with cheap Chinese goods, based on the same cheap labor. Bad trade policies, like NAFTA, high business taxes, and onerous regulations made the problem much worse. Trump is changing all this by imposing tariffs on countries that trade unfairly with us, by lowering business taxes, and by elimination unnecessary and onerous regulations. Steel mills and other factories are reopening. Businesses that had plans to move abroad are cancelling those plans and staying in America. This is a tremendous reawakening for American jobs - a renaissance.

The US unemployment rate is the lowest in a half century, while black unemployment and Hispanic unemployment rates are the lowest ever recorded. Millions of people are rising off of food stamps. Floyd, this is what Trump stands for. It is not the white man taking advantage of minorities. It is new economic freedom and advancement for ALL. I'm sorry that you, Floyd, have such a negative world view. You cannot see the wonderful changes for the better that are going on all around you. I don't know what you think that I am going to lose, that I hold dear. The changes brought about by our current administration make it possible for me and all to hang on to what we have and to build on the good. if you are losing yours, you are not doing something right. The opportunities are better now than they have been in decades. If the fabric of our nation is falling apart, it is not the fault of our current administration, it is the fault of those who were v**ed out of power, and refuse to accept it.

If you are worried about American becoming a 3rd world nation, forget it. Socialism will never become America's dominant economic system. The left is pushing harder and harder toward socialist policies, but they will get v**ed down. America was built on limited government, individual freedom, freedom of speech, and capitalism. Its what drives innovation that the rest of the world can only envy. America has moved back on top as the best place in the world to live and prosper. That applies to all its people, of all races and g****r.

Get out of your funk Floyd.

Floyd, this country was built by immigrants; it was made great by immigrants. NONE of that has changed! America welcomes immigrants with open arms. But they must come here legally, through our immigration process. Those who climb over our fences in the darkness of night are not welcome.

'The Left Has Become So Obsessed With Power That They Believe They are Invincible!'

They did believe that!
But there was a limit.
That limit was Hillary Clinton.

Hope everyone is getting as bored with it as i am!!!!!

The issue of immigration over our southern border has been with us for a long time.
How we have handled it has for the most part worked fine.

There is no real reason that it can not be handled much the same way as it has been.
The issue with Trump is that he found the feed back he wanted to stir up his supporters.
Like a little 2 year old he just keeps throwing a tantrum hoping to get his way.
He keeps throwing his temper fits for attention.

If things look good economically it is more than likely just because of how things really get done.
I say things now are for the most part going on as business as usual.
It is as if the general tone in the market place is one of Trump is out of touch with reality.
The need for us to survive is just keep doing what we do best in the hope things turn out okay.

In times like this most presidents take credit for things being good.
If there is any thing that is wrong the blame is put on some one or thing else.

Only time will tell if it was the right way to get the job done.
I say that when all is said & done & when things get back to what may be looked at as normal.
We may find a lot of surprises.

I have often felt that if those in D.C. stopped trying to micromanage this nation things could be a lot better.

President Trump is the reason that the United States is doing so well, period. Obama IS trying to take credit for it but that is insane as he was doing his best to destroy the US along with his Democrat buddies. Thank God, (yeah, I said God, don't like it, tough), the people in the USA came to their senses even after being bombarded with all this "f**e news" and elected Donald J. Trump as President, an intelligent businessman and CEO which is what this The only real thing I agree with you on is that DC should mind THEIR business and allow the American People the freedom to succeed.
The problem is the statement of this thread, the Democrats have grown used to unlimited power because nobody dared to challenge a Black man, (well 50% anyway), and tell him he is wrong and call him a crook as they would be, and were, called a R****t if they did. President Trump could not be bought or intimidated by this so-called 'Deep State' nor would he protect them by allowing them to rip off the people of this great nation. Trump believes in the old idea that serving your nation is a privilege and not a means to increase your personal wealth and power.
