I’m part of Trump base. I’m not even upset. Wait for the details and trust Trump. He’s stuck with us all the way so far.
If—
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Trust but verify.
Would you prefer Hillary and her radical left bunch?
That fact alone is very very disturbing.
You’re absolutely right, it wouldn’t surprise me if a little research didn’t turn up evidence that most of these whiners are hard Lefty’s sitting in a college dorm or in their mother’s basement. Anyone that would accept Nancy Pelosi’s or Chuck Schumer’s word over Donald Trump has to be suspect.
If Trump keeps giving Democrats what they want and we don’t get what we want, what am I supposed to think?
He’s pushing the envelope.
Nothing is irreparable; the Trump base will always be here. Even 1861-1865 was not an irreparable breach in America, and President Trump betraying the American people (if - big IF - these “reports” are true) would not lead to problems much worse than in that crisis.
IF this is true...I won’t believe anything until Trump himself admits it. But if true, then Steve King is right.
IDK, something seems strangely familiar about these press reports. Let me see if I can get through to Secretary of State Romney to confirm.
The WH dispute is the vague one. I also go with Jack P’s sources on this—it is supposedly a clean DACA deal, with the only agreement on the wall is to address it later.
Of course I’d be thrilled if that is wrong, but he’s gone full Democrat of late.
Going into to Trump’s Nov 2016 victory, we had a diverse base of supporters with shared interests. And the GOP-e is sabotaging it... its destructive intent is clear.
A great poem, but I don’t see how it relates.
That’s about where I am. This was always about a deal and Donald wrote the book on making deals so let’s see what kind of deal he made.
As a practical matter, we are never going to deport legit kids who have spent their lives here
If Trump gets
Restricted only to current DACA enrolled
End to chain immigration for extended families
No welfare for 10 years
End to birthright citizenship
Must remain employed
No criminal convictions . If ever arrested and convicted in future they get deported
Pay back taxes on the income they have claimed
Speak English
Graduated from high school ( no GED)
Pays $5000 for extremely thorough background check
DACA is 50% or more fraud so background checks will eliminate several hundred thousand DACA fraudsters, limiting the number of people eligible for relief
Caveat: we have the most partisan, lying and corrupt media of any 1st world country, but I’m done with Trump if he amnetizes “dreamers” without securing the wall.
A: "Because they were young when they left Mexico, so the don't remember it. All they've ever known is the USA...you hater!"
Q: Oh, OK. That makes sense... People can't travel to countries they've never been to before.
...But yet their parents had never been to the US before they came here. How come that wasn't a problem for their parents?"
A: Ooops! I don't have time to answer that...
BTW, these "Dreamers" are all ADULTS - they are in university, or have work permits. (250 work for Apple Computer!!)
What kind of "Adult" is incapable of traveling to a foreign country. One where they speak the language (Spanish), and have relatives. These aren't "Dreamers," these are Mexican "Snowflakes!"
“just Pelosi up to her tricks along with the media”
Does this mean Trump is not going to set up internment camps????
She believes we are stupid enough to believe this. I think her statement highlights the contempt the left (well, all of the ruling elites) have for the middle class.
I see more of the middle class waking up to what the democrats are doing than Trump’s base turning.
