Yes, I am absolutely talking about the serial liar, Trump.

I was responding to LS's puff piece about how wonderful the Bloated Orange Bullshiiter is for (supposedly) saving a few pennies in the White House budget. Therefore, what Obama may or may not have done is irrelevant, and a deflection.

Did you bring it up because of your illogical bitter hatred?

Trump is awesome at the political art of name calling so he's got to expect it back. He seems to connect very well with many Americans in some or many respects. Name calling is one of them.

I'm in the LS fan club too. He's a real hoot. It's fun seeing how a 100% Trumpster sees the world. It seems very different from the traditional Republican view.

The real issue for me is the state of politics and the health of democracy in the US. It doesn't look too healthy. The gerrymandering decision and the lowest points of the political rhetoric worry me.

It's on.

Oc-Co Loco called House Speaker Pelosi a 'racist'.

Oc-Co Loco to the Washington Post:

But the persistent singling out . . . it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful . . . the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.

Referred to Pelosi calling out the radicals in her party who continue to undermine Democrat political strategy.

Don't be shocked. After all, we're talking about LIBs who specialize in name-calling. Now the radicals are going after their leadership.

Omar & Company has become The Committee to Re-Elect Trump.

Full on Race War among all the socialists now!

The Congressional Black Caucus, a racist wing of the Democrats, fires back at Oc-Co Loco for calling Pelosi racist and also chastises her for trying to find candidates to run against them in their districts.

It's fun to watch them use their disingenuous dishonest tactics against themselves, and neither side is backing down. It's gonna be a political bloodbath.

There appears to be a steep learning curve among those who have screwed over the US in the past.

France is the next one to probably learn a hard lesson.

Trump isn't going to sit by and watch any international tax foolishness continue without taking some action. Trump wants free & fair trade. If other countries don't want it, Trump will balance out things nicely.

France recently enacted a 3% tax on US tech companies. Trump is likely to counter with tariffs on French goods. The French tax applies to companies that draw approximately $850 million in worldwide revenue. Almost $30 million of that comes from France.

USTRs have been tasked with investigating whether the French taxes are "discriminatory or unreasonable and burdens or restricts United States commerce." USTR wolverine Robert Lighthizer is heading it up. France is not the only country being reviewed regarding new taxes on US companies.

Free & Fair Trade -- or tax at your own detriment.

Chairman and CEO Marillyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin, issued a statement this week that they are keeping the doors open to to their Sikorsky helicopter plant in Pennsylvania.

"At the request of President Trump, I took another look at our decision to close the Coatesville, PA, facility and have decided to keep it open while we pursue additional work. It’s a good operation with an excellent workforce. We look forward to working with the government and PA Congressional delegation to find more for this facility."

More than 400 jobs will be saved.

STEADY WINNING.

Trump represents both the forgotten Americans and the silent Americans who have been ignored by establishment politicians and the political class. Trump has given them a voice. These are everyday Americans who live together in communities, go to work every day, go to church, and try to provide for themselves and their families. The media has a vile contempt for both Trump and these Americans who support him defending them and America's ideals and values. The media hates these everyday Americans. You can see, hear and feel the open and broad contempt that the media has for Americans.

The political class -- and more specifically Democrats -- reject government existence based on the consent of the governed. The political elitists always claim to know better, but they are the ones who were allowed to create the existing mess.

The political class and Democrats oppose the ideals of the Founders and Framers. They regularly dodge the US Constitution. They regularly undermine Free Enterprise with socialist principles. They regularly attempt to shame Americans into collectivist thinking rather than promoting and nurturing Individual Liberty. They promote and condone the immoral act of seizing the assets of working Americans and enslaving them to the government.

These political elitists hate America.

BOOM!

Sanctuary Cities will now suffer the consequences of undermining federal law. Trump's efforts to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit is one of the more activist courts, but sided with the president.

The City of Los Angeles had sued the DOJ.

Majority Opinion:

“The panel rejected Los Angeles’s argument that DOJ’s practice of giving additional consideration to applicants that choose to further the two specified federal goals violated the Constitution’s Spending Clause. The panel held that DOJ did not exceed its statutory authority in awarding bonus points to applicants that selected the illegal immigration focus area or that agreed to the Certification.”

Money saved and sanctuary cities may now wallow in their own decisions.

But in a way, this is part of the problem. The people you describe too often view the world as us and them. That is/was the root of anti-Italian, Irish, Polish, Jewish, Mexican, etc., discrimination. Legal non-citizens as opposed to illegals, -- OK, I get that. But legal non-citizens come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Too often the people you describe aren't interested in anyone but white Christians.

Illegal immigration is just one problem of many, but let's examine it.

The 'us against them' is the People vs the federal government, not xenophobia or racism or whatever other insinuation or claim that you're attempting to make. The federal government -- for decades -- has allowed illegal aliens to overrun the country and place burdens across the entire society (hospitals, schools, law enforcement, neighborhoods, wages, jobs, prison systems, border enforcement) -- to the detriment of citizens.

If you think that all of Trump's supporters hate people from other countries, you're entitled to that opinion. At no time in my post did I reference any of what you have assumed here, but I have clarified my position on illegal aliens -- again.

Enforce the damn laws.

Sort of reminds me of just a few short years ago when the Tea Party loonies were at war with the Republican establishment.

But of course, this sort of thing only happens with the Dems.

Don't conflate disagreements over principles regarding taxation and big government with another party's members lying and using the race card to attack each other. It's not even close to being the same.

By the way, the TEA Party won out on various issues and is still winning today. It's efforts are just one of the influences that gave us Trump, lower taxes, originalist judges, re-embracing free enterprise and balancing trade losses.

The Socialists, in contrast, are attacking each other personally and getting nothing done for the People.

Furthermore, the TEA Party -- Taxed Enough Already -- was formed by citizens calling on their government to acknowledge them and be responsive to their requests to return to Founding principles. A further contrast between what is happening with the Socialists is that their racist spat is between party members who hold office in Congress.

[jackspratt]

How silly of me to overlook the fact that only conservative, right-wingers have principles.

Finally someone who tells congress how it is.
