    Egads there were times during that speech it sounded like me on my buy American soapbox. But as I read and investigate the loss of work and the dying communities, I wonder if Trump realizes it is the bottom line that manages much of this, it is the destruction of unions too, and it is Americans who want cheap and refuse to pay and fight for fair wages for all. Even more complicated but that story is quite long.

    Would someone please tell President [sic] Trump to stop lying, he is still saying millions of illegals voted for Hillary and his small inaugural crowd was really really really big. The man makes himself look like an insecure child. I'm glad to see the major media sources are telling like it is, fake news like Fox and Newsmax will always hide from the truth.

    As Americans ponder the Trump presidency Democrats need to stay attached to representative democracy and not allow the failures of the republicans to become status quo. Republicans failed American democracy and have done so since money manages their very soul. An excellent piece below.

    "But even that general conclusion is too fast. We will not actually know whether Trump’s election exhibits a failure of democracy until we see whether the institutions of court and congress function to prevent him from carrying out his anti-democratic impulses. We see a failure in our electorate, but institutions may yet save democracy. For example, if the Court rules against Trump’s proposed religious test for immigrants, and his proposal for a religious registry, and does not overturn (as he has proposed) the constitutional protection for flag-burning, or implement his proposal to punish women for having legal abortions, and resists his attempted removal of due process protections for immigrants, and resists the privatization of education as a violation of equal protection, then the damage Trump could do to democracy would be limited to some degree." http://www.thecritique.com/articles/...-of-democracy/

    If there is a God and he is paying attention to America and Trump's budget what would he think. Trump's budget does the opposite of Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount and unless God now loves the moneychangers more than the people all is lost. Only three months in office and Trump is a failure, God must wonder at his creation, a rich boy who never had a real job. Maybe it's time people imagined a better God and voted for a better president?

    Yep, because God meant for people to be lazy and live off of the backs of those who work.

    Funny you don't believe in Jesus but want to think you know what said

    You are committing cultural and religious appropriation.

    Find me a quote of Jesus saying "use government to steal from one and give to another"

    I'll wait

    ILA, you obviously don't know the religion you claim to follow. Your comment is part of 'corporatism' the conservative religion of many Americans today. The corporate conservative complex has created the ideas that justify self interest and free market ideology that hurts so many Americans. Of course there is no quote you asked for, you should realize that is how you see the world. It is you, not God or the Bible's view that have this narrow view of faith hope and especially charity. Sad.

    “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Matthew 25:44-45

    “What should we do then?” the crowd asked. 11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” Luke 3:10-11

    "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done." Proverbs 19:17

    "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2

    "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12

    "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38

    "Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." Matthew 5:42

    "not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:4

    "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor." Proverbs 22:9


    "We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms." Philip K. Dick

    I love when atheists quote the Bible. It gives me hope for their soul. Of course you are using those quotes as a cynical ploy to advance your big government statist ideology.

    Let me be clear so that someone such as yourself can comprehend. I will even use all caps

    I 100% BELIEVE IN ALL OF THOSE TENETS. I FULLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD HELP THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN THEMSELVES.

    However I just don't believe it is the place of the federal gobblement. I also believe in freedom which means I believe in your freedom to not want to help

    You believe the government should solve everyone's ills. I do not. You believe that calling for more gobblement programming you absolve yourself of personally helping people.

    Spare me your self righteousness

    Rather curious that Trump's cabinet feels they are blessed by working for Trump? Is he their god you wonder?

    Right now Trump is making history, the lowest rating since ratings were kept and over half a million spent on lawyers in three months. What a joke.

    Trump's children are as dishonest as he is, fake tweets and all. Sad!
