                        I think the best thing is how, when you strip away ideologies and get to the heart of the matter, QQ is basically the same as the whiniest, most fringe libs. Hell, I even saw one of those true nutjob libs on a comment section, in all seriousness, copy his pre-election idea (from when he was oh-so-convinced that all the "handouts" and "fraud" had assured the country would always be under control of the Ds) of dividing the country into two nations -- one for Rs and one for Ds.Automatik;1834084 wrote:Anyone who isn't on board with your line of thinking you paint broadly as libs.

It's just one more example of how reality can be more entertaining than fiction when you have the right mindset.

Trump is going to spend trillions on infrastructure, building a wall and other things. Mostly he's going to add a little less to the debt than Obama did. But he's going to cut taxes, so it looks to me like mainly he is taking money from the free handout jar to pay for this stuff.

                        This is actually encouraging. What purpose do they really serve, at this point? Didn't Romney talk about eliminating funding for PBS? Seems like Trump is wasting no time in actually taking a red pen to the budget (as opposed to just talking about it, like previous Presidents).sleeper;1834239 wrote:Trump to eliminate funding for NPR and PBS.
God help us if we stop government funding and agendas from corrupting media and science.
