Politics anyone?

If you cant read all the insults you hurled from the beginning then I can't help you, but back to the topic about Vets, once again tell me how he has helped us. Like I said, any day you want to go to the VA outpatient clinic here in Austin, let me know so I can show you whats really going on! You are just throwing stuff out there that you think is going on but you actually have no idea. Starting to think you and IB Hankering are the same person.

Ok for me, Trump doing - in your words"virtually nothing" for our vet's is far better than what Obama ever did for our vets. And the reason I gave for "what has the President done to improve my life" - is my family had to wait 5 years for a V.A. decision. That's ridiculous for ANYONE to have to wait that long. The V.A.s attitude was basically---that they would rather drag the process on and on and on -- hoping the plaintiff would die - rather then to actually try and solve a problem of their own making. Trump is changing that shit and just knowing that another family doesn't have to go thru the same frustrations and heartbreak that we did brings me a lot of happiness.
About the rest of the country - well, I think yesterday's and today's news speaks for itself.

I do agree that the VA sucks. As a veteran I am lucky that I never had to deal with them. Trump has changed NOTHING yet. He has made some changes and YOU are hoping that something positive will come out of them, but I look at the VA as one of those institutions that is so broken it is virtually impossible to fix. There may be some minor tweaks but I doubt you will ever see a major overhaul that eliminates even minor problems.

But again it seems like you are unwilling to talk about OTHER issues that are more important to the people of this country and dismiss discussions by stating "Well, I think yesterday's and today's news speaks for itself." Exactly what issues are you referring to?

I assume you weren't referring to the resounding defeat in the House of the immigration bill backed by Trump.

BTW, you do realize that your hero Donald Trump, like Bill Clinton, did everything in his power to avoid serving in the military.

There may be some minor tweaks but I doubt you will ever see a major overhaul that eliminates even minor problems. Yes. it is very broken so any positive changes are very welcome. I guess I'm more of an optimist. I'm seeing the glass half full now. But it's going to take time. But I have patience in this issue beause I've been thru the wringer of "hurry up and wait" which is the military's way of doing things. It goes like this -- "No, you have to go to blah for that and you better hurry." Get to blah wait 5 hours. Finally see blah,only to be told "nope, wrong place- you gotta go to blah,blah but you have to hurry." Get to blah,blah wait 6 hours. Blah,blah comes out and says "nope, you gotta go to blah,blah and blah-but you have to hurry." Get to blah,blah,blah and wait 3 months.
Blah,blah,blah comes out and says"nope, you gotta go to X place but you have to hurry. Get to X place and wait 4 years." And on and on and on it goes. So I've developed patience. It's a virtue, you know.

But again it seems like you are unwilling to talk about OTHER issues that are more important to the people of this country and dismiss discussions by stating "Well, I think yesterday's and today's news speaks for itself." Exactly what issues are you referring to? Ok, this is what I was trying to explain yesterday. Trump is forced to go to the Supreme Court just to get COMMON SENSE immigration approved. It could of been done - SOONER - but if this route has to be taken then it will take time. But as you saw, the Court sided with Trump. Other issues, Economy - check, Open seat on the Supreme Court - coming up with a possible other one opening up! -- Now that is very exciting!!!!! Abortion - I don't have a dog in that fight but I think Roe VS. Wade will stand. Foreign policy - only U.S. President that has ever met with Kim Jong Un. So check....moving forward.
I assume you weren't referring to the resounding defeat in the House of the immigration bill backed by Trump.

It's true. He did not serve active military. Unlike Clinton, he did go to military school. And unlike Clinton - it shows that he loves the military.


BTW - You got that shit straight - Trump is my hero. But - and this is important that you understand this - I do NOT always agree with what he says or does but I do support him. Hope that clarifies it for everyone.

The decision by SCOTUS had virtually NOTHING to do with immigration. Trump's first travel ban was unconstitutional so he dropped it. The travel ban just voted on, and approved by a 5-4 vote, changes little. It affects 7 minor countries from which we have never had an immigration problem. The major immigration problems are people coming into the country illegally over the Mexican border and people violating their visas and staying in the country illegally. The travel ban is basically meaningless.

I do appreciate your opinion on Roe v Wade and I have the same feelings. Foreign policy? As I stated before, virtually every one of the countries that have been our closest allies over the past few decades are turning against us. And tariffs will further divide us. Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un was a positive but the South Korean leader Moon Jae-in meeting with Kim Jong Un is to me much more significant. We shall see in the not too distant future whether or not Trump's meeting with Kim Jong Un bears any fruit.

One issue that I think Trump needs to more in is the Opioid crises. Yesterday, I read that 70,000 people who died from opioid overdoses where not classified as such. I'm still trying to get my head around that number. That is just unacceptable.

Facts are wasted on Trump supporters

[atxman75]

Hey Ellen, you dumbass the election for president is not until 2020, so candidates will not be campaigning until end of year or next when the Iowa cuacus starts

[I B Hankering]

Trump supporters are certainly smarter than "#Grubered" minions who believe 1) a video killed four Americans in Benghazi, 2) Odumbocare wouldn't cost more than a cell phone bill, 3) conservative organizations weren't targeted by the IRS, 4) hildebeest didn't lie about or violate U.S. laws and regulations when she used an insecure, private server to send (AKA "compromise") classified -- Top Secret & SAP --government intel, etc.

You know, your not suppose to attack the poster only the post. But you're in luck. I'm not some pansy ass, bitch boy whining liberal as you seem to be so I won't be running to the mods to tell on you!! However, I would like to point out that you spelled caucus incorrectly. Perhaps you should look up the word dumbass? You seem to have given new meaning to it.

You misspelled "you're".

You are very correct on this one. I'm sure that stopping illegals from crossing the Mexico border and spending billions on building a wall will stop the opioid crisis (sarcasm). Unless Trump can be convinced that stopping the opioid crisis will bring him votes it is likely little will be done.
