If I hear from several people that don't like you that you are a pedophile, should I accept that because more than one made the claim and because they "heard it from a friend of a friend" or from a "confidential" whistleblower?

Mexico will pay for the wall. North Korea just announced plans to denuclearize. US steel just announced they are building six new steel mills. Kurds are much safer now. China will pay tariffs, not us. Democrats oppose any effort to secure our borders. I will repeal and replace Obamacare. You will have the most beautiful healthcare, you won’t believe. I alone can fix it. There is substantial evidence of voter fraud. I got at least a thousand more, but I got better things to do with my time.

LumRaiderFan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Bottom line is simply compare the job the two have done. The economy is roaring and unemployment is at record lows, something that Obama said would never be possible and we should accept high unemployment as the new norm. Liberals are more interested in what is said and intentions, conservatives are interested in what is done and results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenash Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Saw a facebook post that states "Hillary did something bad but was given a pass because her "intentions" were ok. Yet Trump did nothing bad but had "bad intentions" so he must be impeached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
