Front Royal

I am sorry if I offended you. I truly am. You apparently feel quite strongly about your convictions...even to the point of destructive hyperbole. Maybe you could gear down a bit and take it easier on me. I am just attempting to put forward what I believe to be best for the country. I accept that you disagree with me. Maybe you could consider accepting that I disagree with you. It's certainly nothing personal with me, though your statements make me think that perhaps you suffered a personal event...a very hurtful wrong at the hands of a Democrat. I know that politicians can be cruel as part of their hunger to grab more control. We Republicans have done it at times as well.
Would you care to share about your personal maltreatment? Seriously. Sometimes it is better to share about the event that sets you off than go off ballistically on another who may be promoting the thing that hurt you.
 
Oops on the above non-post.

Believe everyone on our political threads needs to take a deep breath or we are going to have to break out the comfort animals.

I despise Donald Trump the man. But what he has done as the President couldn’t have been
done by a person of a different personality. Do you think Hilary would have told the European
Countries to start paying what they owe to NATO, or reduced all of the absurd regulations that
we’re hampering small businesses. As far as I can remember (correct me if I’m wrong) there
has not been a Democratic President with a business background. Look who’s leading the campaign
now, professional politicians who made their millions how?
 
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. . . . No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. (Matt. 6:19–24)

Mr. Annap, I agree with a lot of what you say. I was never a Hilary fan. I detested her husband and I was glad when the Democrats nominated her only because I thought that we could easily defeat her (my choice for our nominee was Jeb Bush). And I agree without a doubt that we had should have forced European countries to pay their share of NATO. But I think that the way it was done, with bluster and threats, was unwise. We could have achieved the same in a more dignified and professional manner. If he had his way, Trump would end NATO, and NATO, I think all would agree, is vital to preserving out European allies and promoting democracy across Europe. What Trump did with his bluster was alienate the leaders of most of our closest historical allies. France, Germany, England (to a bit of a lesser degree), and others. Through his approach, he has also changed our position in the eyes of the world. Where we were once viewed as a beacon of strength and hope, we are now viewed as a wishy-washy country led by an impulsive out-of-control egomaniac. (Look at where we are today with the Kurds, based upon a phone call with a dictator and without consulting anyone at DOD or in Congress.) I do not feel that the trade-off was worth it.

BTW, I spent a few weeks four years ago in Annapolis (which I assume is your residence based on your moniker) on business (church-related). I thoroughly enjoyed the people and culture of your wonderful city during my stay. Got to tour the Naval Academy and the old state building and other sites. Loved Church Circle. I imagine that it is a great place to live. It is a wonderful historic community and embodies much of what most Americans embrace as truly American.

I agree with your comments. If Trump was even slightly diplomatic, both domestically and his foreign policy, he’d be a special President. But...
His chutzpah is amazing, but he transforms it into something ugly.

Yes, we who live here in Annapolis are pretty happy with our town. Thank you for your comments.
 
Draining the swamp?
The Good old boy right wing christian patriarchy is 99% responsible for this, with a 1% dash of money from China.
This is the Donald Trump playbook applied to the local level.
Use public tax dollars to line your pockets,
Sell out america to foreign investors,
Then waive the flag and talk about Jesus.

The only hope for America is going to involve putting a lot of white male Christian country club members in jail, and taking away the assets they have accumulated by graft and theft.
Your hatred for conservative Christians is showing.

Oh is it showing?

I know, "people like me" should not be showing, we should be hiding.

In a closet.

Or a shallow grave with a bullet in my liberal head.

Right?

Because your tiny brain and smaller heart can't imagine that some one would dare be different.
After all, the existing order has done so well for you, with you inherited wealth and unearned privilege.

Keep worshiping your God of status quo and tax breaks and enjoy hell.

The issue here is that a bunch of right wing koos, pretending to be christians, took over a town and bankrupted it.

The GOP is not good for business, the current occupant of the White House is only here to line his and his families pockets.

And you're here to attack anyone who isn't sitting in the same church as you, and hey let's be honest, you probably don't trust those uppity people two rows back because they were ties that are too flashy.

I understand your ire. He actually thinks that Trump is a Christian. Little does he know that Trump is a Non-Theistic Satanist.
This is a guy who named his miniature poodle Ferocious and dresses her in a Gen'l Spidey uniform. Save your time and energy.

Not a Democrat but Ross Perot as Independent was only other business person I remember.
 
personally, look at it as trump being the only adult in the room. all of these people, both in the us and abroad, have been used to being too polite, not speaking up and doing business like our state dept. what a disaster for us. trump is not rude, he just sees something wrong and calls it out, which nobody else would do but does not make it wrong, just makes common sense. just like PC, too many people playing the victim and faking offense to words instead of to what is right. love the bush family but they would never push back against what the media and the dems did to both of them. trump pushes back and the media and the dems still do not know how to handle it and feel that is what his voters want him to do, in fact, they love it.

Oh Trump is not rude?

Oh Trump is honest?

First, Trump does not care about what literally the majority of Americans want, because he was not elected by a majority, he lost the popular vote by three million. all he cares about are his blind stupid racist base of infectious human waste.

Trump is the candidate of David Duke, who he has not rejected.

Trump is not an adult, he is not making anything better for America, and he has already gotten more money pumped into his pockets by charging federal workers and secret service agents for being at his resorts that Obama took in salary his entire two terms.

There is nothing "adult " about being a greedy, venal racist.

The only thing Adult about trump are the movies made by the women he cheats on his many wives with.
 
trump is not rude, he just sees something wrong and calls it out

That statement is not only indefensible, is farsically preposterous.
Trump just this week tweeted: “The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, they are human scum!”

And that's not rude? Calling "Never Trumper Republicans" worse than scum is not rude?
Look, you have every right to worship Trump, but you do not have the right to create a parallel universe, gaslight, or fabricate an alternate reality. Trump is the rudest, most non-presidential person to ever have held public office...."This is, after all, a man who boasted publicly about his genitals, uses words such as “bull----,” “p---y,” “goddamn” and “little Schitt” in public, misspells tweets, talks of women bleeding, proclaims himself a “stable genius” with a “very large brain,” “fell in love” with North Korea’s dictator, paid hush money to a porn actress, shoved a prime minister, wore an ill-fitting vest to visit Queen Elizabeth and praised the “shape” of France’s first lady."

I've been a conservative Republican my entire life, and also a Christian. And now I am considered by Trump worse than human scum. I guess I'll have to live with that because I will never support that man. And there are others who share my view. Many others.

The difference in popular vote was primarily the State of California. So since that state primarily tilts to the left that would leave the rest of the country a toss up. The man is rude, crude and socially unattractive. The same characteristics Hillary carries. Neither one of them is someone I would like to sit sown and enjoy dinner with. It was just a choice of a life time politician or a life time wheeler dealer. What was the lesser of two evils for some.
 
It is approaching 20 years since someone asked me who I was voting for.
My response hasn't changed in those 20 years.
"Voting for? I'm not voting for anyone. I need to decide who I'm voting against..."

Bad choices offered, no doubt about that, but what was the tipping point?
What made you decide to go with the devil?
Was it his unapologetic promiscuity?
Or his ability to ignore any standard of morality or ethical standards in other areas? Surely you must have had an overriding agenda which caused you to decide to endorse an antiChrist. How do you explain it to your children?
Please share. Others would love to understand.

Ethically I did not vote for any candidate for President last election. No dog in the hunt.
 
gosh guys and gals, especially Gay, you are worse than trump, the hate is so readable. he ran, told everyone what he was going to do, provided a list of his supreme court nominees, if a vacancy came up, was completely transparent. in office, he has done exactly what he ran on and everything one reads indicates that the people of the country, other than leftists, think we are better off with him in office. the coup which was started the day he was elected, actually before, has failed, we don't do coups in this country, we do elections, free and fair elections. let's see what comes of the investigation of the investigators, if nothing, fine but if they ran this coup, these unelected bureaucrats, then they should pay for it and we should make sure that it never, ever, happens again. you don't do this to a president because you don't like him, that is bush and trash.
