    Good to know you think the standards of this country should be set so low.

    I remember Trump saying that his deal making skills would prevent a shutdown during the one that accompanied Obama's term. Trump criticizes Trump on the damn daily.

    Well, there you have it. It's more important to be anti-PC than to cooperate with the rest of the country. Herein lies what's wrong with the right these days.

    By "standards" you mean you want to use political correctness to limit what people can think and talk about.

    I don't understand why people think having tact is a bad thing. What's the point of our parents and society teaching us manners and being respectful towards people if we're just trying to throw it all the way because some individuals want to "tell it like it is (be a hyperbolic ass)."

    I love it when one of the most esteemed and important positions in the world is turned into a reality tv show

    I mean, maybe, just maybe, the speakerbox for America shouldn't refer to entire continents as 'shit holes'.

    Just a thought- not like this isn't Business Communications 101 stuff or anything.

    Nah the problem is well defined by your quote there. You got your priorities all twisted there bud. Country takes priority. The fact that you think illegals should take precedence over the safety of our nation shows how out of touch you are with the working class Americans (the rest of the country as you put it). Its a disease the left has had for the longest time. People buy "compassion" and "empathy" like hot cakes when in reality it doesn't make any fucking sense and doesn't not even belong on the same platform as what it's being addressed. Priorities first followed by feelings. The world does not run on feelings.

    Been wondering much the same for the last few years. The notion that a basic degree of respect is necessary to maintain civilization has seemingly given way to everything being a ball busting conflict. Thankfully, while this idea has advanced in society, it still isn't much of a thing. I think, hopefully, we're finally starting to see a pshback, No one really wants to tolerate a pack of assholes for long.

    Both Democrats and Republicans are same shit with same old dog tricks. Republicans had no qualms shutting down government instead of caring for "our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border" while dems were playing the same blame game/victim cards Republicans do now.

    Ultimately both sides are just two-faced shits, that are more into shitting in each-other's lawn, rather than putting country and citizens first. The whole difference between your stock Republican and Democrat is the color of their necktie it seems.

    the real issue is that he said he didn't want people from those shithole countries coming here. So in reality, it was an indictment against the people, and not just against the country.

    I'm simply pointing out that the President is a lying hypocrite. If he wanted to blame Obama for 2013, why shouldn't he take responsibility for this one?

    The GOP is more than willing to spend money, or haven't you noticed? The old people and military members who are heavily conservative... are missing out on their money.

    He said he did not want people from those shithole countries coming here. I hate to break it to him, but the only reason most of us are in the United States, is because our ancestors came from shithole countries.

    Dems and Repub are to blame. neither of them have been for the people for a very long time. As far as my beliefs and how i live my life People would say i am a lefty. I don't like trump for many reasons. 1. Hes a hypocrite 2. A lair who has even been caught in lies. 3. A war mongering tool 4. not presidential (acts like a child) Bottom line he shouldn't be POTUS. that being said he doesn't have that much control over things (unless we go into marshall law) Our main issue right now is congress being puppets of corporations. Until we get money out of politics, we are doomed.
