Today, President Trump suggested something that I can totally support.

He proposed a new annual tradition and I find myself thinking we should have done it decades ago!

...

An annual parade on July 4th, get this, in Washington, D.C.!

Glad to be back from my lifetime ban.

Your atonement was impressive to the parole judges.
Thank God they didn't see my Reggae Guy costume from my first year of law school.





Actually I went as a flasher, using a Ronald.Reagan mask as a cod piece.

Because there is no emergency on our southern border.

Yes, we know.

But I sort of hope he tries for the emergency approach, anyway.

The latest Gallup Poll


69% expect their financial situation to improve over the next year
Optimism about finances over the next year is almost at a record-high level
50% say they are in better shape financially than a year ago


 
I also found it funny that REDSTATEWARD cuts and pastes without providing a link. 
Latest 'Gallup Poll" confuse you?

Basic formatting confuse you?

His whole business and political career shows he can waste huge amounts of money to no benefit and great loss. The shut down shows this, as does the inauguration. He did it for the tax scam. The border scam is cut from the same cloth.

You really don't understand computers, do you?

I locked out a few users temporarily. Remember when there was no site for weeks? That was a crash.

Have to say, your inability to master formatting and that you think comparing that to my blocking users by banning their IP addresses are equivalent illustrates Dunning Kruger all over again! If we didn't already have Trump, you could be the poster child!

Reagan couldn’t pick Bush out of a lineup at any point during his second term. He was almost as addled as trump.

Someone did the math on Luee’s barbarian horde.
