Additionally, I am a deplorable.

Well, the glaring difference is the state is the economy in 2009 vs 2017. Remember how trump promised that growth would offset tax cuts? He was wrong. Good economies are supposed to raise tax collections and lower deficits. As the economy improved under Obama’s leadership the annual deficit did, in fact, decrease. 
Instead of pointing a finger at someone else, try explaining trump’s lies and distortions.

Should we simply dismiss the UNDENIABLE FACT that the unemployment rate is lowest in over 50 years?  Should we dismiss the UNDENIABLE FACT that there are many millions of folks off food stamps?  Should we simply dismiss the UNDENIABLE FACT that black unemployment is the lowest in history?  Should we dismiss the UNDENIABLE FACT that wage growth of the bottom 25% of workers is increasing at a rate twice that of the top 25%?  If the improving Obama economy was so great, why did the debt load continue to increase ( one of the reasons he is the only President to reside over a downgrade of U.S. Treasury Obligation rates)Do you recall Mr. Obama referring to Mr. Trumps assertion he would bring back some lost jobs?  Mr. Obama said " those jobs arent coming back;  what's he gonna do, wave a magic wand?'   In hindsight, it was a very foolish statement.

The perfect President. When it all goes to hell, it sure won’t be none of his doing. How we made it this long without a stable genius is beyond me. Praise be Donald Trump. All facts praising him are undeniable, all facts questioning him are not only deniable, but flat out fake. We ate lost without Donald Trump. Let’s make him President for life. He wants to lead like Putin, so let’s make it happen! You guys done got you another convert. Get me a hat and an angry sign. I’m ready to help him insult his way to another term.

What a” loser’s” attitude. When all hope is lost, give in. I have to admit, for the dims, right now all hope IS lost.

Give us a list of what he is doing wrong and what the right response to whatever you're talking about should be.

    • Nah… to be completely honest, I think it goes like this.  I’m split on it.    Part of me says that there’s a segment of voters who believe that trump should be the ruler, whatever that means. It’s about 25% of R voters according to polls. They’re the hardcore Trump loyalists… the kind of people who would travel to DC in the winter to hear Trump speak at a rally, then ransack the Capitol… maybe trump doesn’t believe his own “you’ll never have to vote again” rhetoric-but he’s just throwing red meat to the fascism supporting minority of the R party. Kinda like he does when he says racist crap to fire up the minority of his followers (cough, Baddog, cough) who really don’t like brown skins or foreigners. You know, Trump doesn’t really want unilateral power, he just needs to whip up his voters who think he should have unilateral power. It’s possible, right? Then the other side of me sees who he was willing to say or do ANYTHING to remain in office, even after it became obvious that he didn’t have the votes. The fact that he refuses to accept reality as late as the debate last week makes me think, “no… this guy is the real deal, willing to do ANYTHING to get back in office and then willing to do anything to keep it and/or hand it off to his heir apparent.     Over time, things have ping-ponged back and forth between monarchies/fascists who get overrun by the masses, then that form of government (populist) erodes to the point where a strong man seizes power.  I think we fought off socialism/communism as a republic and in 2024 we’re fighting off a facist-style movement where enough of the population has enough faith in one leader to give them absolute power.    But that’s just my opinion. Trump and his hardcore followers (the ones who aren’t in prison for their 1/6 activities represent the biggest internal threat to our democracy that we’ve seen in my lifetime.  The fact that it’s originating from “my” side is what’s particularly troubling to me. I would have expected the left to converge around a popular leftist, not the right. 
    • I don’t tune in all the time, but I do like Kat. I’m know the studio audience and tv audience enjoyed the show.
    • It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊
