THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

[stokes]

That is how long we have had any momentum. Let me ask you this. Before election day could you ever imagine Trump not only winning but getting the electoral vote, the popular vote and every swing state? Too bad you can't find optimism. That's a shitty way to live.

I had no doubt he would win by a landslide, actually expected bigger popular votes. Unless of course they cheated again. Shitty way to live? Because I'm skeptical of the gov? We have been fucked by dems and repubs all our lives, now we have Trump but we still have the dems and repubs, I dont consider Trump either but he doesnt have a magic wand to make them all play nice. So I remain skeptical about them all. I am ecstatic about some of the things he and they are doing, the border for example, deportations, DOGE. While I agree its better than nothing, but I just cant get too excited about some law suit they aint gonna win and no matter, win or lose we the taxpayers are on the hook when its time to pay. As I said in another thread, if they perp walk one of these top dems, like Hillary, the rest will start flipping for a deal and it would be effective in shutting the lefts mouths. It would save years resources spent fighting lawsuits. And we dont have years.

I'm skeptical too. I just have the ability to find some optimism when there is reason to. Otherwise, why the hell should I get out of bed in the morning?

Nothing any politician does, good or bad makes me not get up or get up. When it comes to politics, there is one, and only one thing we can do about it, thats vote, I did that, we won this time. Not gonna get so worked up about it that it dictates whether or not I get outta bed.

Not what I meant. I'm talking about hope across the board. I may get dejected, frustrated, disappointed, angry, etc., but if I give up hope for anything I might as well call it a day. I have always said things happen for a reason and ultimately good will triumph over evil. I just hoped I would live to see it. I am slightly giddy that I am starting to see the fruits of my hopeful labor. Time will ultimately tell. Until then I remain positive.

Until then I remain positive.

I dont think I'm being negative, just cautious. I am very happy with most of what he is doing, just being realistic about this lawsuit. At best it wont be settled til well after Trump is gone, and the only loser, no matter how it is settled is us taxpayers.

Look at your last sentence and my last sentence. I guess I haven't been beaten down as much as you have. Well sir, here's to you discovering more optimism. I hope we can celebrate in the near future.

The latest complaint from the left is that "Trump is going to eliminate Social Security and Medicare" and "Republicans view Social Security as a handout, a welfare program."

Seeing as how I've been paying into both my entire adult life, and it is not an unfunded (or wasn't until congress got their grubby hands into it) program, I would not expect them to unilaterally eliminate it.
And if they did, I would expect ALL of my money returned to me. It's the government, so I know they have records of every cent I've paid into it.


So is this one true? I don't watch the "news", so I wouldn't hear if they have been calling for its elimination.
