Hope And Change...

Post by Bryce » Fri Jan 20, 2017 12:41 pm

This one sentence, from the T Rump inauguration speech, makes me hopeful the T Rump presidency may be better than I thought. If it's from the heart, it the kind of change that makes me hopeful.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I'm willing to give the guy a chance....not like I have a choice. But since he won 2 months ago I've been waiting for him to ACT presidential and I didn't see it happen. Specifically with his thin skin and twitter.

Another thing that impressed me was the use of the word "We". He used it a LOT. As opposed to the other guy who was big on using the word "I", OFTEN.

Hmmmmm...

I don't recall the need for tear gas during either of the past two inaugurations.

I guess T Rump is the anti anarchist president.

What is the protestors' goals anyways? What do they hope to accomplish? Trump already won, and he's not going anywhere.

Probably not. I would say there are more folks on the far left willing to riot than on the far right.
But if you want to be half way intelligent you don't draw larger conclusions.

There are a lot of different reasons. The notion that there is one simple answer that speaks to every protester is not realistic. I have 2 daughters in Washington right now marching tomorrow. They would tell you they aren't "protesting" anything. Rather they are marching in sport of certain issues they feel are important. Some of those predate Trump and some are spurred by Trump's rhetoric.

I think the Hitler Youth did a fine job in the parade today.

Maybe the folks on the right realize it's time to get back to work!

After all, we'll have to pay for the $75,000 of federal debt Obama left us with.

Really, there were socialists in the parade? I didn't see any.

Nazi Germany is a totally different animal than any socialism you reference... it's generally placed on the right side of the spectrum. But foreign politics don't equate very well with ours... so your comment is misplaced.

So was his. But, I notice you didn't feel a need to point that out.

I didn't address it because it's ridiculous and not worth my time. Yours involved some historical allegory that sorta kinda worked but not really. His involved something that clearly didn't exist..
