**1. Since Trump was elected, his administration has created nearly four million jobs! More Americans are now employed more than ever in history, and just this year, the overall unemployment rate hit the lowest ever recorded in nearly 50 years..
**2. The typical American worker’s pay is growing now more than ever since before the Great Recession and so is consumer and business confidence..
**3. During his campaign, Trump promised that he would donate his presidential salary and he’s kept that promise! Since becoming our president, he’s donated his entire paycheck to numerous places, including the National Park Service, the U.S. Education Department, the Transportation Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs..
**4. Trump signed the biggest package of tax cuts in history, pouring more than $300 billion back into our country in one quarter alone..
Morning Trumptard, you traitor POS.
Where are all of the lies & bullshit that you usually post?
All his followers are waiting for their Messiah to tweet another lie this morning so they bow down to him!
Bloomberg’s apology for proactive policing confirms that the Democratic Party no longer can accommodate candidates who support fundamental aspects of the criminal-justice system—a system now viewed on the left as wholly corrupt and irredeemably racist.
Sen. Harris obviously did not watch the hearings or she quit watching after introductions! OR she was told by her sister who heard it from her assistant who heard it from Eric, the whistleblower. Left loves the grape vine and PRESUMES what they heard is the truth. After all hearsay is more honest than facts.
This so called climate change is a major effing lie. Real experts say that the climate is just repeating itself just like the past. These climate change alarmists haven’t got two brain cells to run together. Just remember that we need to have carbon dioxide for all of the plants to grow.
Hey moron, you can’t pump billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and expect there to be no consequence. Just like when we poisoned our air with leaded gasoline, we’ve taken billions of tons of CO2 (a known greenhouse gas) which was locked in the ground and pumped it into our atmosphere. Climate change is occurring and it is caused by man.
Then let’s get rid of the flatulent Democrats. We’ll keep the cows.
I certainly agree with Rep. Jordan and applaud him for doing his job, sounding the alarm and holding the perpetrators of evil accountable. He is one of the “few good men” needed to set this issue to right. Thank you, sir.
I agree wholeheartedly with Rep. Jordan. My fear is that the Democrats will use voter fraud to twist the results of the election in their favor. We need to transform the voting process and fix the left’s ability to steal the election.
GET SCHIFF, he is so horrible! We know what he is doing, and his face makes me sick to my stomach. And still no one has really explained about Schiff paying off a 19 year old boy in 2013 with taxpayer money. NOW THATS WHAT I WANT EXPLAINED! Adam Schiff!
*The demonrats are digging their own graves, but have neither the foresight or character to understand the disaster they are bringing down upon themselves and their party.
The Russia Hoax didn’t work, so the Democrats have moved on to a partisan witch hunt impeachment on Ukraine. With the Democrats failing to accept the 2016 results, there’s no telling what’s next! And through all of that, President Trump has been focused on Fighting for YOU!
The Economy —> Booming
The Military —> Strengthened
Our Borders —> Defended
The World’s Most Wanted Terrorist —> Dead
STOP IMPEACHMENT NOW
*No way Democrat’s will get anything done. They are to busy trying to impeach the only one that has the sense to get positive things done for the people
If nothing else this shows all tax payers how dysfunctional and broken our federal government is. News flash…..We’re not getting our money’s worth…
*1I Discovered Watching the Impeachment hearings that INSUBORDINATION is rampant inside lower level Appointed employees. I find it very odd and wrong at every level! We clearly have too many “unelected” employees that are listening and then deciding what can or cannot be said or decided as appropriate policy for the American People. It is clear to me from what I have heard as so called “testimony”, it is nothing more that unelected “bureaucrats” that REFUSE TO CARRY OUT THE ORDERS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS and then put their own agenda forward! This is nothing more than INSUBORDINATION IN ACTION to undermine America’s ELECTED LEADERS!!!!
*1The Democrats are showing us every day why we need guns, the whole idea was to protect us from a Government like the Democrats are trying to push on us.
*Pelosi is the epitome of evil and Good always wins over evil
***I am eternally grateful for the first real American President we have had in many years. Thank you @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for granting clemency to men that deserve it, unlike @BarackObama , the traitor that chooses terrorists and criminals over our military and law enforcement.
**For anyone foolish enough to think that the likes of Reps. André Carson (D-Ind.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) were “elected” ARE JUST THAT, FOOLS!!!! If you love this country at all we must petition for them to reinstate the McCarren Warner act of 1952!!!
**Yet Trump is doing great for America. Democrats on the other hand have done what exactly??? Oops I have the answer for you. Absolutely zero. Soo shut up and prepare for 4 more years of winning. Or in your case whining.
ALL OF THIS IN ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS. JUST THINK WHAT HE COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IF THE DEMOCRATS HAD NOT FOUGHT HIM ON EVERY SINGLE THING HE DOES.!!!
**1. Since Trump was elected, his administration has created nearly four million jobs! More Americans are now employed more than ever in history, and just this year, the overall unemployment rate hit the lowest ever recorded in nearly 50 years..

**4. Trump signed the biggest package of tax cuts in history, pouring more than $300 billion back into our country in one quarter alone..
**5. Build the wall! Trump is doing everything in his power to ensure Americans are kept safe and sound. Legal proceedings are still occurring, but thanks to Trump’s resilience, $2.5 billion in funds has been approved to construct it..
**6. Trump pledged to completely wipe out HIV and AIDS in the next 10 years if he’s elected a second term!!
**7. Donald Trump secured the release of 19 people, including 16 Americans, from foreign captivity. They were being held in Turkey, North Korea, Egypt, China, Portugal, Venezuela, and by the Taliban. In fact, Trump freed more people in two years than Obama did in eight and he even did it without releasing terrorist leaders..
**8. Thanks to Trump, there is now a ban on bump stocks, an accessory that enables semi-automatic rifles to mimic automatic ones. He’s not trying to take away anyone’s right to own guns!!
**9. Since his election, Trump has lifted nearly 3.9 million Americans off using food stamps..
**10. Many argue that pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord was a bad move, but they’re ignorant to the positive effects. The Paris Agreement was costly and would end up destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing, and waste taxpayer money..
**11. In 2018, Trump signed the First Step Act into law, which helps prisoners transition from prison to society through halfway homes, offers time off sentences for vocational achievements, and reduces the tendency of convicted criminals to commit crimes again..
**12. This law was signed in May 2018 to allow patients with life-threatening conditions or diseases to try experimental treatments when other treatments have failed them..
**13. In June 2018, Trump and Kim Jong-un pledged to pursue lasting peace and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Trump then became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea in June 2019 to talk further about nuclear negotiations. While a deal is still underway, the two remain on great terms..
**14. In his first year in office alone, Trump’s administration reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent. He has also secured $6 billion in new funding to fight and control the epidemic..
* ACLU’s award for courage should probably have gone to Schiff – although it might be a toss up between Ford and Schiff – it is difficult to determine which one had the most courage to stand before the American people and tell their lies!!
**It’s time for Congress to get to work. We pay their salaries. They work for us. They need to stop with endless investigations and impeachment and instead get to work. There are big issues to tackle.
**#1: Kill the “Green New Deal,” “Medicare for All,” and Socialism. The Democrats will stop at nothing short of a full government takeover of our economy, our health care, and our lives. We need to end the runaway reign of Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Washington. Stopping their socialist agenda is the first step in reclaiming our freedoms and setting an agenda that works for the American people.
“If freedom of speech is taken away,” George Washington told a group of military officers in 1783, “then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
Censorship is “the suppression of words, images or ideas” and it happens “whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political on others.”
To suppress free speech, is to suppress Liberty.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting groundbreaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns.
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered? If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: may we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more.”
I don’t agree with everything Obama did in his terms, specifically, his acquiescence towards the far far left at times. However, he did at least he did not injure large portions of our country with his acts.
I must remind all that it is gravely important that we have these kinds of conversations, agree or not, to maintain the Liberty we have.
What you are saying is he did nothing to help the general taxpayer. All he did was promo’s That was by far the worse 8 years in the history of this country. More and more people on welfare with out jobs to allow them be be taxpayers instead of tax users. Health Insurance taken away from million and the worthless Obamacare put in that sapped taxpayers with very poor results. Amassadores killed with no protection from Clinton and Obama. Thousands of young American killed and wounded in a never ending war. The wounded must be supported for the rest of their lives. Don’t you dare say how great that P.O.S. was. He even turned his back on his own people and left them in poverty. Trump is bringing the out. Obama delibertly destroyed American business and bragged about it never coming back. Trump brought it back. Then Obama did everything possible through his deep state to destroy a duly elected president
(THEM) typo
The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.”
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
This is Dem spin. You left out Solyndra for example. And any idiot can open the doors of the prison and let inmates out. How many of the former inmates returned to the battlefield to kill Americans?
And, why is the hell were we responsible to repair levees ion New Orleans? They allowed them to fall into disrepair. When you build a city under sea level you have to understand you might just get flooded. And what did G.M. and Chrysler do with the hand out. Chrysler sold out to a foreign country and moved most of there operations out of the country and GM moved their manufacturing to Mexico and we still lost millions of jobs and got nothing for our money. Private companies that fail due to mis-management should just be allowed to go under. Someone else will fill the vacume.
Because New Orleans is in America and its people are Americans you moron.
Not as far as I am concerned.
So “united we stand” means jack to you?
you think the thing about Trump’s accomplishments isn’t a spin? It’s a freaking merry-go-round.

“Hartgrove will, among other things, be responsible for running concessions, working with the North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) to schedule events and helping oversee hockey tournaments.” —–funny if you look at NIACC’s slate of performances, they need help..lol Blind leading the blind, yep MC.
Hey with all the ‘concerts’ scheduled for this new arena, just who’s signing the contracts with artists, paying ASCAP, and dealing with extreme echo factor in building?.
Is the city writing the rider checks? Is the city creating a budget to lock down performers? Many questions that nobody can answer. Typical. Remember it’s NOT a hockey arena……….rightttttttt.
If this GM hired is the arena signatory, he is obligating the city. Is the concert side a city controlled element or a separate identity? Nobody knows, nobody talks about it. Wish someone on the council did their homework before this all was started. No brains, all pains.

ABC News??? Are you a complete IDIOT or what. No one believes anything MSM says.
Donald Trump and the National Enquirer. https://www.cjr.org/special_report/national-enquirer.php
National Enquirer??? HA, Ha, Ha, you can’t be serious.
Australian Rupert Murdoch, who owned the National Enquirer, is the one who created Fox News. Read the article. The Enquirer bought and buried many stories about Trump paying off mistresses, strippers, and hookers.
Don’t confuse the old man with facts. His Depends get in a bunch when you do that
Good Morning Trumptard
Ya, I’m talking to you ass-clown, the same dumbass that posts the same “Trump is great” bullshit all day every day.
Trump is the most cowardly, draft-dodging POS to ever have sat in the Oval office.
And you are a worthless ass-kssing traitor to our country
hahahhalolol, oh your serious.

GANGLAND STYLED SHOOTING IN MASON CITY LAST NIGHT: A home at 1119 East State Street, YES East State Street, where everyone’s kids walk each day to school,where the town mayor lives, was shot into last night at 9:45 pm. Multiple gun shots tore door apart on the front of the home. Drug House? Hooker House? who knows. Do you feel safe?
omg
Just drove by 20 minutes ago ,KIMT and Fox 47 were there taping.
I’m betting this is a rental. Maybe landlords needs a butt kick.
Agreed. Landlord is probably an out-of-towner, also. Buy up foreclosures, don’t maintain them, rent them to anybody, neighborhoods start to go to hell, they don’t care, they don’t live anywhere nearby. This one being so near the school is especially troubling.
Went by last night and seen police and firetrucks all over the place. State Street was a wars zone.
Drive by
MC, instead of building a safer more established Police Dept, they spend 35 million on a hockey arena (the money pit). But if a drive by happened in Asbury, all hell would break loose. Place is like California, time to move out!
Every Slumlord should be put on NOTICE in this town! ZERO tolerance for anything like this that happens on one of their properties, THEY should get fined $100,000 dollars the first time! SECOND time, SHUT THEM DOWN! A lot of this Scumbag landlords are out of town and don’t give a shit like Our #1 SCUMBAG LANDLORD FROM MASON CITY RUSS HARDY!
Watched this Democratic farce for 3 days and the only first hand proof I have seen is that ambassador Sondland and a few others assumed what the president wanted. Only fact is the president said I want no quid pro quo. And Schiff leading witnesses to try to look like something happened that didn’t. This farce is a total waste of taxpayer money and time.
First, he said that AFTER the conversation had been made public which, in itself, is quite telling. Ambassador Sondland “assumed” he was behind it because the President told him to “talk to Rudy” to find out what he was to do. Rudy then told him they were withholding aid until Ukraine made a public announcement that they were investigating the Bidens. As far as a waste of money, it will be money well spent once this corrupt administration is sitting in prison rather than in the White House.
Assumed just makes a Ass out of you!
Trump makes an ass out of you.
You obviously didn’t watch the hearings. Your post is BS.
Climate change is caused by a monumental catastrophe such as the tectonic plates pushing up a mountain range, a giant meteor striking the earth, or another ice age. We can control none of this. Period.
Whether it happens or not man has nothing to do with climate change. The orbit and axis tilt along with changing sun activity are the main factors and there’s nothing man can do about it. Paying a carbon tax is the biggest scam in human history
You can’t put 7 billion of anything anywhere and not have it affect the surroundings.
Democrats Think they are destroying Republicans??? They’re constantly destroying themselves with their ridiculous , flamboyance of lies! But they can’t stop! One lie will always lead to another ! It’s up to the people to stop it! I for one am sick of this bs! It’s our country we need to make it stop!
Then why do you sound so panicky?
Demonrats are wasting their time because impeachment is DOA in the Senate. It stood little chance before these hearings. Based on witness testimony there is now zero chance of impeachment passing the Senate. Time for the Dems to end their dog and pony show and actually do work that will benefit the American people.
Then why do you sound so panicky?
Now, if there are any real JFK Democrats remaining in America, at some point they are going to be forced to pull away from the far left that has fully morphed into Socialists/Communists; or, they will be completely and forever silenced. I don’t think they have very much time to act. The center of the Democratic Party has even walked away from Obama the most liberal talking President we have ever had.
There must no be any Reagan Republicans left, that’s for sure. He would have had no time for the pervert preachers, foreign billionaires, and trust fund babies who run what used to be the Grand Old Party now.
The founders of our country knew that Freedom was a cornerstone in the building of the United States. This is why the put Religion, Speech, and the ability to petition Government first.
Yet some still silence voices they do not agree with, indeed here that practice is in full vigor.
The founders knew that civil discourse of ideas was important. They encouraged it. Here, the opposite happens. Civility is quashed. Differing opinions are deleted.
Such practices are directly in parallel with what happens in Communist countries, and is an obstacle to Liberty!
CHA CHING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Parents!! You’re the ONLY ones who have even a remote chance of saving your daughters. What are you waiting for? STAND UP AND PROTECT THEM! NOW!! No one else is gonna do it.
I am scratching my head on this one…. Did Muslims come to America? Where does it say we have to bend to their rules and religion’s? I can guarantee if any of us went to their country they would not change for us or allow us to worship the way we worship!!! If we keep bending on all that we have ever known…. The AMERICA we know will forever be gone!!!! This needs to be stopped, enough is enough!!!
The Constitution says we cannot restrict any religion but that doesn’t mean we have to “bend” to any religion either. Allowing them to worship when, where and how they want is part of the US foundation and taking it away because you are frightened of them is wrong (in the USA). If we went to their country we probably wouldn’t be able to worship as we wish because they are not America. That is their right. America is changing but the world is too and we must accept those changes peaceably and graciously.
You do realize that America has a history of first disrespecting other religions and then eventually becoming accepting of them in this big melting pot of ours, right? Read the histories of the Irish Catholics when they arrived here; right here in the midwest you can still see the traces of wagon wheel ruts when the Mormons crossed the plains in search of a place to practice their religion. Jehovah’s Witnesses are still discriminated against in some areas. Hinduism, Buddhism, Muslim, B’Hai are all religions that most of us are ignorant about. And ignorance leads to fear and hate.
The demonrats are digging their own graves, but have neither the foresight or character to understand the disaster they are bringing down upon themselves and their party.
It’s the Republicans who are courting disaster, and they’ll get it.
Whiny Little Bitch deleted all the comments again. Won’t do him any good. They will just be put back in.

The World’s Most Wanted Terrorist —> Dead during Obama administration
Give credit where credit is due. The economy has been red hot the past 3 years and most everyone is doing better, not just the top 1% as you claim. I’m no where near the top 1 % and my investments have done amazing.
Most workers can’t afford investments, they live paycheck to minimum-wage paycheck, falling farther behind everyday. You might not be the 1%, but you’re obviously better off than 85% of the working people otherwise known as the working poor.
The Russia Hoax didn’t work, so the Democrats have moved on to a partisan witch hunt impeachment on Ukraine. With the Democrats failing to accept the 2016 results, there’s no telling what’s next! And through all of that, President Trump has been focused on Fighting for YOU!
*No way Democrat’s will get anything done. They are to busy trying to impeach the only one that has the sense to get positive things done for the people
If nothing else this shows all tax payers how dysfunctional and broken our federal government is. News flash…..We’re not getting our money’s worth.
*1I Discovered Watching the Impeachment hearings that INSUBORDINATION is rampant inside lower level Appointed employees. I find it very odd and wrong at every level! We clearly have too many “unelected” employees that are listening and then deciding what can or cannot be said or decided as appropriate policy for the American People. It is clear to me from what I have heard as so called “testimony”, it is nothing more that unelected “bureaucrats” that REFUSE TO CARRY OUT THE ORDERS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS and then put their own agenda forward! This is nothing more than INSUBORDINATION IN ACTION to undermine America’s ELECTED LEADERS!!!
*1This is so creepy and it makes it so real everyday that our world is being consumed by evil. The New World Order we were all warned about starts from within like destroying children and murdering unborn babies..
**Congressional Democrats are not solemnly upholding the Constitution. They are conducting psychological warfare under the pretext of law. They want the president and his supporters — those who dared challenge the permanent, elite government class — to know they can never win. Stand with us, the message goes, “get on the right side of history,” or suffer the consequences, just like the president you supported. That is not good faith, adversarial politics. That is, more properly speaking, a form of political oppression. Watching the impeachment hearings, or reading about them, all Americans should realize: whatever they may think of Donald Trump, more than the fate of a particular president now hangs in the balance. It is democracy that is on trial on Capitol Hill..
This post makes zero sense. Obviously written by a foreigner with a bad command of English.
***I am eternally grateful for the first real American President we have had in many years. Thank you @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for granting clemency to men that deserve it, unlike @BarackObama , the traitor that chooses terrorists and criminals over our military and law enforcement..
@POTUS: PIECE OF TURD UNCONSTITUTIONAL SATAN.
**It’s time for Congress to get to work. We pay their salaries. They work for us. They need to stop with endless investigations and impeachment and instead get to work. There are big issues to tackle.
**#1: Kill the “Green New Deal,” “Medicare for All,” and Socialism. The Democrats will stop at nothing short of a full government takeover of our economy, our health care, and our lives. We need to end the runaway reign of Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Washington. Stopping their socialist agenda is the first step in reclaiming our freedoms and setting an agenda that works for the American people..
Congress is working. Have you been watching the impeachment hearings? That is work. If you do watch you have probably seen they take breaks to vote on legislation in the House and the Senate. Only a small number of representatives are part of the Intelligence Committee who are the ones running the impeachment hearings. The rest are at work – like you should be.
** Really sad, the president hears someone steals 1.5 billion dollars from the United States taxpayers. And is not supposed to check into it??? So the president is basically on trial for trying to protect us from people stealing our money. While the person who stole it is walking around without a care in the world.. .. because the democrats are building a smoke screen to protect Biden.. because he’s the only person they feel has a chance in hell of even coming close to beating trump in 2020..
Yeah, thanks to Dump’s Adderall and alcohol abuse, he hears a lot of auditory hallucinations.
guys better wake-up & read up on this.
** People must understand that Obama brought a large population of these people to America and settled them in one place so that these exact things would happen. The same is true of Ohmar and Talib. They are plants to weaken and destroy our country.Somehow we have to hold Obama accountable!!
LOL speak English much? No? Thought not.
**What is wrong with the people in our country. They are giving this country away. Why would you elect a Muslim that won’t even speak your language!!! People had better wake up!!! These people are not the kind of people we want running our country. If you keep electing them it will no longer be your country. They are here to take over!!!! Wake up!!!!!
“Speak YOUR language!” You just admitted that English isn’t your language!
**I wonder how many of the 20 something candidates are going to “commit suicide” between now and then to allow this wacko Hillary Clinton a shot at being the nominee..
**Democrats are a disgrace to the USA shame on them just because they don’t like our Great President who is doing just what he said he would do for the American people.
***I’d rather trust a coiled snake about to strike then these Liberals who are suppose to be Americans working for the people. They are not working for the people, they are working for themselves and how to get richer at whatever cost it takes. Shame on them for taking an oath! God is watching and I am waiting! I hope Trump plays his cards right and proves the backstabbers, wrong. Then, sued them for slander of character!!!
**Trump man has only been in office three years so don’t blame him for unaffordable health care and homelessness. He’s not the one that charged a fee for no health care!!!
“Trump man?!” Hahahahaha
**1. Since Trump was elected, his administration has created nearly four million jobs! More Americans are now employed more than ever in history, and just this year, the overall unemployment rate hit the lowest ever recorded in nearly 50 years..
***2. The typical American worker’s pay is growing now more than ever since before the Great Recession and so is consumer and business confidence..
**3. During his campaign, Trump promised that he would donate his presidential salary and he’s kept that promise! Since becoming our president, he’s donated his entire paycheck to numerous places, including the National Park Service, the U.S. Education Department, the Transportation Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs..
***4. Trump signed the biggest package of tax cuts in history, pouring more than $300 billion back into our country in one quarter alone..
**5. Build the wall! Trump is doing everything in his power to ensure Americans are kept safe and sound. Legal proceedings are still occurring, but thanks to Trump’s resilience, $2.5 billion in funds has been approved to construct it..
**6. Trump pledged to completely wipe out HIV and AIDS in the next 10 years if he’s elected a second term!!
**7. Donald Trump secured the release of 19 people, including 16 Americans, from foreign captivity. They were being held in Turkey, North Korea, Egypt, China, Portugal, Venezuela, and by the Taliban. In fact, Trump freed more people in two years than Obama did in eight and he even did it without releasing terrorist leaders..
***8. Thanks to Trump, there is now a ban on bump stocks, an accessory that enables semi-automatic rifles to mimic automatic ones. He’s not trying to take away anyone’s right to own guns!!
**9. Since his election, Trump has lifted nearly 3.9 million Americans off using food stamps..
**10. Many argue that pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord was a bad move, but they’re ignorant to the positive effects. The Paris Agreement was costly and would end up destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing, and waste taxpayer money..
***11. In 2018, Trump signed the First Step Act into law, which helps prisoners transition from prison to society through halfway homes, offers time off sentences for vocational achievements, and reduces the tendency of convicted criminals to commit crimes again..
**12. This law was signed in May 2018 to allow patients with life-threatening conditions or diseases to try experimental treatments when other treatments have failed them..
***13. In June 2018, Trump and Kim Jong-un pledged to pursue lasting peace and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Trump then became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea in June 2019 to talk further about nuclear negotiations. While a deal is still underway, the two remain on great terms..
**14. In his first year in office alone, Trump’s administration reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent. He has also secured $6 billion in new funding to fight and control the epidemic..
Good morning little bot. You are up early today.
If you still support Donald Trump today, I instantly know 8 things about you.
You have never read the Constitution and you never will.
You don’t want a President to govern for you, you want a king to rule over you.
You have no moral authority and are not really a Christian.
You are probably a racist, even if you don’t realize it.
You get all your information from Fox News and believe anything they or Donald Trump say no matter how false it is.
You don’t love veterans as much as you think you do.
You are not really a patriot; you are just tribal.
Your ego is just as big as Trump’s.
Republican Congressman Jim Jordan continues to be a class A, ranting douchenozzle.
How do twatwaffles like Jordan, Gohmert, Brooks, keep getting elected repeatedly?
What warped districts do they come from?
Jim Jordan is a complete dickhead in the Trey Gowdy/Jason Chaffetz category.
He’s part of the cabal of great legal minds like Louie Gohmert, Steve King, and Darrell Issa.
The Republicans must be so proud of this group of no-nothing traitors.
Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, to call him Trump’s lapdog is an insult to dogs and laps.
Douchebag of the week: Devin Nunes.
This guy is quite the tool.
He might as well just put a sign around his neck saying “bought and paid for by the Trump administration”.
How can anyone support a U.S. President who would even think of negotiating, much less associating with a dictator such as Kim Jung Un?
Kim Jun Un, who places his pleasures over the North Korean people. They are near starving while he dines in luxury. And if they dare speak a word of dissent or free opinion, they are sent to labor camps where, many will die.
A proper leader of the U.S. would put an end to the Kim dynasty, and free the North Korean people.
Good Morning Trumptard
Ya, I’m talking to you ass-clown, the same dumbass that posts the same “Trump is great” bullshit all day every day.
Trump is the most cowardly, draft-dodging POS to ever have sat in the Oval office.
And you are a worthless ass-kssing traitor to our country.
What happened to the Russian collusion debacle?
He’s getting impeached for it.
Evidently you haven’t read the Mueller report. You DemocRATS are ridiculous. Heehaw, Heehaw, Heehaw.
Go wipe your nose, Elephant Man.
Aww poor widdle ting. Did that big meanie make you newvous? Hims so bad don’t worry you can go from lt col to panty waist private and we’ll make sure nobody is ever mean to you again! Your so brave! Now who wants to go off to your safe space to play with their Lincoln logs! Who does?! That’s momma’s big panty waist private!
New record for the bot tonight. 15 straight.
Must be really scared.
With all due respect Col., you have placed yourself higher in the pecking order than you really are. You are nothing more than a doorman for the high echelon officers. And Trump may have indeed “subverted” your foreign policy but you don’t make foreign policy. The President does; so he can’t subvert foreign policy. You should salute, say “Yes Sir,” and move on. What you are doing is treasonous!
I can’t click the channel fast enough when I see biased Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. I used to watch every week when fair and balanced Tim Russert was the host.
Of course the democrats have the biggest liar in Congress chairing the investigation! Listen to the witnesses, you know, the ones who actually heard the call and their reaction to it. Not like the Lt Col Vidman who was angry because he didn’t get to go on the trips, his notes were not used, and most of all, he’s a leaker who no one trusts.
The democrats are doing everything they can to oust the President and that is their sole agenda and to vote against all republican agendas. They cannot work together with anyone.
What you allow to continue will continue. Remember this at election time. Right now the Intelligence committee isn’t working on anything other than trying to impeach a duly Elected President. It is way beyond time that we term limit these ( career politicians ) out of office.
No way Democrat’s will get anything done. They are to busy trying to impeach the only one that has the sense to get positive things done for the people
*1I Discovered Watching the Impeachment hearings that INSUBORDINATION is rampant inside lower level Appointed employees. I find it very odd and wrong at every level! We clearly have too many “unelected” employees that are listening and then deciding what can or cannot be said or decided as appropriate policy for the American People. It is clear to me from what I have heard as so called “testimony”, it is nothing more that unelected “bureaucrats” that REFUSE TO CARRY OUT THE ORDERS OF ELECTED OFFICIALS and then put their own agenda forward! This is nothing more than INSUBORDINATION IN ACTION to undermine America’s ELECTED LEADERS!!
