    The die hard Trump supporters have jumped the shark in their defense of Trump WRT the Freedom Caucus. About the only one with any credibility left in my book is Dannno. It's not that his arguments really made sense, but at least he wasn't an ass about it. Really I never expected anyone on these forums to attack Justin Amash and especially not over going criticism of Donald Trump.

    I'm a principle guy rather than a poll guy. When Donald Trump's administration increasing groping by the TSA, threatens pot growers and users in states where it is legal, attacks those who want a less socialist replacement to Obamacare, increases the militarization of the police, and says we're going to be in Iraq "for years", that is justification for strong opposition to Trump regardless of whether the polls of your voters reflect that to be the popular position. And yes, I know that you've convinced yourself that Trump little responsibility for what those under him do or say and even when Trump says it through twitter, you don't hold him responsible. And it's your right to interpret Trumpworld that way. The rest of us take it as we see it and react appropriately. And from the looks of the results it seems the backlash tactic worked just the way it should. So...the rest of us will keep the pressure on.

    Where are the pot busts? Come on man, I grow and smoke herb, if anybody should be worried here it is me. I'm not. Yet. I could be wrong, I'm just not feelin it.

    Putting pressure on Trump to not take out ISIS isn't going to work right now, sorry. In time, it will work, because you can be like, "hey man, you've had all this time and haven't made any progress, what's going on??" but right now I would mostly just be watching what is going on because there just isn't much you can do. The MIC isn't going to stop him, he was voted in to stop ISIS, we just don't have much of an argument in the short term other than we don't think it will work (I don't think it will work). In 6 months to a year depending on how things go, I would recommend ratcheting up the pressure on the military interventions, or sooner if he is doing anything that is CLEARLY outside of the scope of attacking ISIS.. and I don't mean Daniel McAdams theorizing about why we placed troops between ISIS and the Syrian army, maybe we were protecting them.. I'm not talking about an accidental or one time something or other - although I would be cataloging these incidents for later.

    Forget about the fact that he discusses with Ron Paul's son matters of state, let's humiliate him for not having solved all the problems. He hasn't even cured cancer yet.

    I don't recall him saying that, but I haven't read his book and I don't follow his speeches and interviews all that much. I'm simply happy that the HFC finally has a real seat at the table compared to what it's has had for as long as I can remember. I want to celebrate the small wins, especially when one considers how much worse it could be.

    And Obama never went house to house taking guns. The signals his administration put out were that he was anti gun. Thankfully there was enough push back to keep Obama at bay. There's been enough push back to keep drug warriors in the Trump administration at bay. Republican governors are signing pro pot legislation even it super red states like Alabama. The house how has a pro pot caucus.

    Putting pressure on Trump to not take out ISIS isn't going to work right now, sorry. In time, it will work, because you can be like, "hey man, you've had all this time and haven't made any progress, what's going on??"
    If Trump thinks that his generals announcing we are going to be in Iraq for years = taking out ISIS then sorry, he's dumber than I thought. ISIS was on the run during the last year of the Obama administration. And no, Obama can't take credit for it. It was Putin and Iran. Trump could get behind Tulsi Gabbard's effort to stop funding ISIS indirectly, push that through, and claim the victory over ISIS that's already happening. So....why isn't he doing that? I mean he did campaign on the idea that Obama and Hillary started ISIS. De-fund their brainchild and be done with it. But no, Trump is playing this just like the globalists want him too.

    He needs to hear it from the right people. There's a lot of competition for Trump's ear right now.

    If Trump fancies himself a revolutionary, then he should spend more time listening to people like Rand and less time listening to the dying yet desperately-clinging establishment old-guard.

    You are either a paid troll or have a pathological mental disorder to post as often the things you post here, creating enemies every day. No sane or normal person would do it like you do it, and it is a dead give away.


    Either way, I want the ones you are working for (whether human or demonic) to know that you can mock Christians all day and it does nothing but further reveal what your intentions are and who you work for.

    For some reason, I suspect @TER has never seen Monty Python.

    Only He knows that for sure. I don't presume to speak on behalf of the Lord or use my feelings or fallible experiences to be any standard. God knows..

    In the meanwhile, I will fight to help my friends here from being led astray by those who care little to nothing about their name, those around them, or more importantly, the Name of Jesus Christ.

    On account of my sins, I may have not allowed Christ in my heart. But the very least I can do is give the rest of myself to fight for His beloved.
