This is the hidden content, please

At times Trump sounds like a Republican. But on many occasions he sounds more like a staunch Democrat, thus the reason he was not my first, second, third, fourth...seventeenth choice. At least he filled his cabinet with Conservatives. He does seem to be patterning himself after his predecessor on many things. I didn't think the Constitution would be one of those gripes though.

The Constitution is probably bad for the country. It is almost certainly good for crime and criminals. 

Being good for the country wasn't why it was drafted however.  It was written for individual rights and freedoms, not for what was good for the country. 

So let's elect a king.     Benevolent rulers have proved to be the most effective

Is that really what you extrapolated from TVC's post? The framers of the Constitution where vehemently against benevolent rulers, thus framed the Constitution to give more rights to the people instead of the government. Please clarify you post... with examples...of who these effective benevolent rulers are. I have a feeling I'm somehow missing your intent, because my initial reading of your post can only lead me to believe this was some sort of attempt at sarcasm...but I don't get it.

Trump's comment is a prime example of why the press loves him.  He supplies them with story after story.  This particular comment was way up there on the dumb meter.  If not for The Constitution, he wouldn't be president.  

As for electing a king, we did that in 2008 & 2012.  Didn't work out.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
