> [@SSgt.Melton](#): > > Trump is an angel compared to the Democrat party. Pull the other leg; it’s got bells on. Trump is a narcissistic, self-dealing, thin-skinned, intellectually incurious, cruel person who is _solely_ interested in what benefits himself. He’s played his supporters for stooges and fools for a decade, by telling them what they want to hear, playing on their bigotry and fear, and “othering” people that don’t look and think like them. ---

Well Dude at least you know you’re a he/him. We are so lucky that we didn’t get attacked by anyone while Biden was president. The body was there but the mind exited stage left much earlier than November 2024. I’m America proud through and through. A retired Marine who actually served my country. I didn’t depend on others to carry my package or protect my freedom of speech. I’m glad to have a president that says what he’ll do and does what he says. Let’s see how the midterms turn out. As I mentioned to another person here. We survived President Obama forcing Obamacare down working Americans throats and the Biden and Clinton crime families. Hopefully Americans are finally getting back to common sense, tired of being taken advantage of by other countries. Hope we will get back to having pride in ourselves and country. Maybe you won’t have to choose your pronouns then. How stinking silly can you youngsters be. Grow up. ---

Youngsters !!! 🤣 I heard sputnick beep …real time and I was born in the 40s and still riding motorcycle now. You know your orange idol is despised by the rest of the planet and the US is the only first nation without UHC??? Don’t repeat your tripe here ad nauseum.

We’re still stuck with Obamacare. You are welcome to cast your vote and contact your congressmen. Remember Obama, “I have a phone and I have a pen”? Funny how doing the same thing that democrats have done by using their playbook hurts their feelings. You take out a student loan, that’s a bill that you created - pay it back. Quit depending on the government tit. Get a job, buy some property, then pay your taxes and you’ll see why you want to have lower taxes by getting rid of senseless government spending. ---

> [@SSgt.Melton](#): > > People saying Trump is terrible with the majority House and Senate but that’s exactly how Obamacare got forced down so many Americans throat. Dems were whole heartedly behind that. I couldn’t believe the American people voted in President Obama with his ties to Bill Ayers and weather underground but it happened and we all survived. Of course, as I told it many times before it is very likely that I would be dead if it was’t for Obamacare. (Nasty e-coli infection, I had lost my job then and thanks to Obamacare I did had a chance to see a doctor that told me to go to the emergency room.) Or did you wanted me to die so then I would not told you now how silly you are? BTW it is clear that you then accept how racist Trump and henchmen are when they call any help to minorities as “DEI”. Because clearly, you can’t reply to that. ---

I got tired of the fake new sock and reported for trolling. Just FYI to the thread. Their very first thing in **this thread** is to say they’re not sure if this is a liberal board. Then posted the most inflammatory shit you can imagine. Not worth engaging. I poked a bit but just to point out the absurdity of its performance. ---

Well for someone born in the 40s I’m not sure your mind has kept up with your age. As I stated earlier, let’s see how the midterms go. We’ll see what the real truth is then. Will President Trump cause a bunch of Americans to stop his progress by going to the polls and voting Republicans out of the house and senate, or will the Republicans gain seats. Glad to hear that you can still keep your balance on your motorcycle at 75+ years of age. Stay safe. ---

I’m glad that e-coli didn’t kill you but truthfully you didn’t need Obamacare to be treated in the Emergency Room - they can’t turn you away. I know this as fact from my youngest brother that died of throat cancer and was addicted to drugs. As far as DEI, affirmative action or anything goes, I believe that maybe that was needed back when integration first started. Blacks, Hispanica, Asians, Whites,… all have the same opportunities to get an education, go to college, get a job, join the military … All races are in jobs such as Doctors, Lawyers, Congressmen, Teachers, Dentist, … To have programs that are dedicated to giving one race a leg up over another race / ethnicity is a racist program. Democrats are very good at playing the race card - don’t fall into their trap. ---

Wrong again. I’ve ridden motorcycles but haven’t been on one in about 10 years. Older people don’t always fall and break their hip, their hip breaks then they fall. Sounds like you’ve taken care of yourself and stayed active which is great. As I said, Stay Safe! ---

Last time I checked there was only one homo sapiens. Any species that could qualify for being a race died out thousands of years ago. Neanderthals and Denisovans. Race is a construct used by neanderthals like you…aka bigots. 🤬 If you’ve actually ridden then you’d know riding a motorcycle does not require balance.

Well MacDoc, I apologize if I hurt your feelings by my post. That was my fault for responding to another person who was upset about President Trump getting rid of DEI. America and any country should have the person that is most qualified for a position / job be in that position / job. Not because they are LBGTQ or because of their ethnicity / race or sex. ---

And thank you for showing you can’t read, I didn’t know how serious it was, but thanks to Obamacare a doctor did see me (most poor people don’t check because of the cost, you tone deaf and non empathic git) so then I rushed to the ER. With no Obamacare, I would not had checked with a general practitioner too check a temperature and persistent tummy ache.
