There's no need for Egypt to sacrifice millions of lives. Their border with Gaza is only about eight or nine miles long, so just build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

MDDad:
Your tedious jabs at Trump lost their relevance long ago.
I have read enough of your comments to deem you as sometimes annoying and repetitive. Leave out "human being" if you wish.

Now I understand your point. This would certainly be a more homogeneous and peaceful forum if I fell in line and sucked on the teat of Trump and never disagreed with anyone about him. However, I thought this board was started partly because we all tired of that same insistence on group think that we saw demanded on OCConnect, so if minority opinions on issues and personalities are now frowned upon here as well, I didn't get the memo and there's little reason to remain.
Personally, I'd like to believe I have as much right to express my annoyances with Trump as others do to worship him, or to criticize other politicians. If I'm wrong, please explain it to me.

Oakley, curious to your post, seems like past grievances...., that said, just sayin', being a contributing poster, seemed a bit out of character.
I come back to this forum as a place where we don't have group think, collective thoughts that never challenge..., nor ever get challenged. One of the biggest issues facing our country now is that we cant get along with those whom see things differently. If we cant here, mostly of conservative, Libertarian think, get along we are no better than the party we supposedly support the GOP. Lets not be a spitting image!
I think these are very challenging times in history, financially, socially, globally. If somewhat like minds here cant survive this now we are truly doomed.

It goes without saying that you have the right to criticize Trump just as I have the right to complain to you that the monotony of your criticism is annoying at times. |

Honestly SK, I do not see this as a big deal. Group think? Where did that come from? MDDad said it too. Please notice that I have not used snarky remarks as 'sucking at the teat of Trump' which is gross or 'worshipping Trump' which is another insult. I am almost certain this is a bump in the road and survivable so please don't worry. |

I have the right to complain to you that the monotony of your criticism is annoying at times. Fair enough. But the sheer volume and "monotony" of our criticism of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, AOC, Gavin Newsom, et al, is certainly much greater. Is it annoying also, or does the annoyance only arise when the criticism is about someone so many consider the saviour of this country? |

It's true that the sheer volume of criticism about Biden, Harris, Newsom ( I am surprised the guy can breathe he's so phony), AOC, and the rest of the Democrat morons is much greater. However, perhaps that has to do with the amount of collective losers on the Democrats' side.
My backing of Trump is based on his beliefs that our country comes first and always should. And, you have to admit that the world and our country was in much better shape under Trump!

My backing of Trump is based on his beliefs that our country comes first and always should. And I've posted many times that I agree with most of his policies. But his constant narcissim, childishness and name-calling irritate me like sandpaper on a sunburn. There are other GOP candidates with essentially the same policy positions but without the negative baggage. I do agree, but the shape of the world and the country under Biden is a pretty low bar. They were better off under Trump, but they also would have been better off under Ross Perot, the Three Stooges, or Joe Shit the Ragman. Biden has been such an unmitigated disaster that everyone looks good compared to him. |

I wish Trump at times wasn't what he was personally or socially, so Im with MDDad on that but I cant buy into the notion that Trump isn't much better nor the idea that anyone could just do this the bar was so low. Seriously, we are in the midst of a major global war and if anyone says Biden or any stooge could do better than Trump in the middle east I would say you are clueless, blind or dishonest. The Abraham Accords on their own are a slam dunk against that argument and ends the debate. That was Trump. Period.
Bill, yes the "proof is in the pudding". Some dont like pudding enough I guess to enjoy the taste.
