Trump is all ready talking about keeping portions of Obama's healthcare plan after talking about completely dismantling it before. Really seems like he isn't going to be the extreme conservative he portrayed in the campaign trail, which I like. Extreme one way, or the other, is usually never good.Comment -
The ACA is legally enacted and participants may be legally bound to a year to year contract. May have been a discussion point between Trump and Obama. It cannot be scrapped all at once but phased out. The old system can be restored where social workers try to find alternate ( state county and private charity funds )for people who were too lazy, stupid or other to get their act together. Of course play for pay politicians let big pharma get costs out of sight which is another problem.Comment -
Guys lets move on
Silly status now talking about all of thisComment -
Yeah that's a bunch of BS & today's REP's are not the same as an IKE or even Nixon. The clowns of today's REP party would even think that Reagan was a Liberal.
REP's are the party of the rich & the DEM's are not much better. Your way of thinking is what keeps the scam going. Maybe your the one that needs to grow up.Comment -
Would you like to discuss it. Or are you going to act like a bitter old man.
Just for the fuk of it this is my voting record. Ross Perot, Clinton, GWB, GWB, McCain, Green Party, Green Party. I've been were you have been & you don't know dick, parroting Fox News & Right Wing propaganda makes you look like a complete ass.
Maybe one day the light will turn on for you.Comment -

Race is the core of the Republican vote. That is why they love Trump. It is a huge liability for the Rs long term because they are a Confederate party. Dems are losing because they have left the white working class behind. But the white working class is extremely racist and they also vote on religion. There is no convincing them to vote for Dems unless you address their economics.
Dems will not address economics because they are funded by Wall Street. Truth is, they would rather lose than address economic issues and that is what they chose to do and what they will do again. For the Dems to win, they will have to embrace the leftists economic policy that Trump had. Fight for jobs here in the US instead of sending them to China and fight for unions that produce higher wages.
Race is really the only thing the Dems have going for them and Castro will bail them out in 2024. Before then, they have no chance.Comment -
Campaign Trump is different from President Trump. It will disappoint some, but he will use common sense as a President. All illegals aren't going to be shipped out. The wall has been in play for years. Though, it may be a virtual wall, with some physical attributes.
Everyone who is freaking out just needs to relax. I enjoy seeing those who identify themselves as Liberal, like Stealthy, take a deep breath and relax. It's refreshing, and what the majority is doing. These protesters can release their angst, but it's going too far. There is no logic behind destroying parts of your city. Especially when you live in a highly Liberal area, full of Hillary voters. Essentially destroying businesses, and property of those on your side.
We will be fine. Unless the Country wants to stay divided. People can protest, throw their temper tantrums, and whatnot. In the end, everything will be okay. Hey, it may even be better. This is why we voted him in. We need change. Most importantly, everyone needs to come together for the bigger cause. The USA, and its success in domestic, and foreign affairs.
Obama ran on change, and tapped into a similar group. I won't get into my thoughts on him, but I got fully behind him, and hoping for a better America. Now the other side needs to do the same with Trump.Comment -
The liberal playbook. Race baiting. Gender baiting. Gay baiting. Immigrant baiting and Muslim baiting. When that all fails, compare everyone that doesn't accept that crap to Hitler. That is why libs lost the election. People are tired of the lies.Comment -
The DEM's lost because they have done nothing for the last 8 years. People voted for Trump just for the sake of change, not because of his idea's. He just wasn't Hillary.
If you don't want to be compared to Hitler, don't act like him. History is suppose to be learn from, not mocked.
Also Trump keeps a copy of Mein Kampf on his night stand. Why would we not compare him to Hitler?Comment -
I agree. That's why we will always be divided. It's not gonna be the fault of Trump supporters.
More so, the guy above who mentioned Hitler. I know we will never live in some Utopia. So, fck it. I'm with Trump. The other half of people aren't. Let's fight about it. That helps.Comment -
Look Man, I didn't care who won. If Hilary won I would be doing the same thing to people saying how great she is going to be for the country. Now if you guys don't want to listen & keep making excuses for people in positions power that screw us over no matter what party they are from. You will be doing this same dance 4 years from now.
If your going to tell me the guy does not have fascist tendencies, your not paying attention. So go sit down in front of your TV & watch Fox News & get your fill of BS.
You want people in power to fear the public, no matter what party.Comment -
We are divided because that is the plan. You can play their game, but you will never win.
Why is it that more than half the country agrees that: We need SS, The rich need to pay more tax's, Trade deals hurt US workers, & many other issues left or right REP or DEM. But nothing ever gets done about it?
Answer me this & we can talk about the country being divided.Comment -
I just want you to show me the fascist tendencies with examples in reality. You throw the word around pretty loosley so I need specific examples. I don't see it. He has a billion flaws but in this day and age people who use the terms fascist and racist every other word have to be held accountable and prove it.Comment -
Hicks clearly hates America, so why is he here
My life was 100 times better when I had that clown on ignoreComment -
I know more about history than your useless ass ever could that's a guaranteeComment -

Fourteen Defining
Characteristics Of Fascism
By Dr. Lawrence Britt
Source Free Inquiry.co
5-28-3
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each: 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespreaddomestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution. 6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. From Liberty Forum Comment - an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
