Today’s proggies are so far left, they make the 1960’s New Left look centrist.


JFK would be a conservative today. “Ask not what your country can do for you,” would be damned as racist if Trump said it.

I don’t follow Drudge, but I can guess what you mean.

” He didn’t need to move the embassy in Israel, but he did. He didn’t need to cut off funding to the Palestinians, but he did. He didn’t need to get out of the paris accord, but he did.”

well, he DID need to do these things as they were a few of the dozens of campaign promises he made during the campaign.

Personally, I expected Trump to keep every campaign promise that was within his power to accomplish, and so far he’s batting nearly 100%.

He’s already kept more campaign promises than any candidate in living memory, and like he said yesterday, he’s just getting started, and 2018 will be more of the same, only MUCH more of the same ...

I respect his scholarship, but I figured out a long time ago that all academics are infected, which is why so many ostensibly rock-solid conservatives were so vehemently anti-Trump.

Read my tag line.

What I most love is that he did the single most important thing to me during the election: He killed the indvidual mandate, effectively killing obamacare. :)
