I think about 60 million of us stood up to this mess back in November. However, since then Paul Ryan, the RINOS and the leftists have been blocking Trump and the 60 million voters very which way they can.
Many Americans do not realize the animosity that many immigrants have toward us...
Drove a lot of them in my cab. Truth is they don’t give a #### either way about the US.
Just a place to make or steal money.
Everyone should have known Trump would be fighting the entire power structure, press, academia, Hollywood, Democrats and most Republicans.
This will take time and he’s doing fine.
Buck up.
“Truth is they don’t give a #### either way about the US.
Just a place to make or steal money.”.........
That statement needs to be put on every screen on every facebook, twitter and all the other social media pages because it is more truth than fiction. Not only is it appropriate about the migrants who come here, we have millions of “gibsmedats” who feel the same way. It’s all about getting “free sh&t” from the gubmint.
It's like that in a lot of California schools now.
Speak Spanish! Barks the enforcer. Or else.
The weaklings who comply are seen as easily pushed cattle.
Why can’t Trump fire or reassign some of these Federal judges?
The problem is so many americans are happy with what they got. They don't know they could lose it anytime for any reason.
It wont start until a major catastrophe hits the country and everyone wakes up. Then everyone is gonna rise up.
Been saying for years, we've been led down the path by people who seek profits, regardless of consequences.
Just look at America now...
Where is your wife from? That would seem to be the most obvious place to consider first.
There is a whole community of American ExPats on the web. Here is one link to get you started:
La lengua de sus vencedores!
Because a President can’t do that. Only Congress can impeach judges.
And they damn sure should.
There has been a 30 year policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders that started after the last amnesty.
Until Trump blasted his way through, the GOP had only nominated amnesty candidates to prevent us from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Since we elected Trump they are doing everything they can to stop him from carrying through on his promise to restore the rule of law and our borders.
Trump is wavering and that is not good.
DACA must be ended, he is not gaining any goodwill for continuing it.
The wall must be built.
All illegals must be removed, many could be encouraged to leave on their own with serious efforts to deny employment and benefits.
Agreed. There are many here who don’t care about the US either way.
Just give em a room and a meal and PlayStation. And cell phones. And... :)
The right decisions are not being made
I am sure in 1775 the Founding Fathers thought their government could potentially “crush” them, yet they fought anyway.
The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.

It is becoming a no-win situation in this country
Becoming Kemosabe?
I came back to your post again because it's quite poignant, and it is the question of the hour.
I was a Trump supporter from early on for three reasons:
The left has been so successful in controlling the language, and permissible range of debate (the Overton window) that actual "Conservative" principles (as opposed to RINO posturing) was becoming impossible. If we can't openly discuss and advcocate for our ideas then we've already lost, so Trump's refreshing use of non-PC language and willingness to say things plainly (eg: "they are not sending their best") was thrilling and I still view it as the biggest win of his, so far.
I'm not particularly optimistic about his positions on the issues. He is not a ideologue, he hasn't spent years thinking about all this stuff and figured out positions on them. He sort of instinctively found his groove in the campaign and ran with hit.
Now that he's in a position to govern the campaign issues are not nearly as important or central as they were.
In addition Washington has two teams: The wretched Democratic establishment, who truly hate America, are anti-White racists (some are self-hating whites to be sure) and are essentially Communists at one of the three traditional levels of support. (party loyalists, fellow travelers, useful idiots) -- and you have the other team the feckless GOP, with their endless copromising, their weird fifth columnists like McCain and Lindsey, the sad Right leaning press (so many of whom were #NeverTrumpers) and the RINO hacks filling Washington.
Trump did not have a big team of people to pick from who were Trumpists. He obviously rejected everyone associated with Team Donkey, but then had to hire Team Elephant people into key slots, because there is no Team Lion at this point.
So, more and more as the RINO establishment takes control of the policy levers I am prepared (and indeed am seeing) the RINO flavor overpower all others in the Trump admin.
I still enjoy his personality, and his ability to trigger the left. The idea that my liberal male friends were all marching aound with Vagina hats on their heads is priceless.
Still, Trump did promise to stand for us and it's looking increasingly that he's not going to be doing that. Whether it's constraints, or merely a campaign promise he never intended to keep, or simply not having the skills and team to effectively deliver I can't say for sure. I suspect it's a bit of all three.
For me he was the start, but not the end, of what we need. Trump did a great job of forcing fake-Conservatives to identify themselves. The "cuckservative" meme is one of the great accomplishemnts of his campaign. The deconstruction of people like Jeb and Rubio as useless tools was fabulous. We need to take out the trash in the GOP to make room for real advocates for *US*.
But it may well be that Trump himself just isn't going to deliver much of what he promised, or act to support the issues that drew us to him.
It's a larger struggle. The real issue in America is identity: what is America? Who is an American? What is the purpose of America? What is the American Dream in 2017? How do we resolve the conflicting visions different groups have of America? Does America owe something to it's citizens? To the world at large? Are some people (races) owed more than others? Do we have collective guilt for the past? Are some people excluded from that?
These basic foundation issues are ones that I'm interested in, that have to be resolved, if we are to move forward.
