Donald Trump

[divemaster5734]

 

Me personally although I am hispanic I truly want whats best for this country.  Even if he came from Mars.  We really are in  "desperate need " for the best man for the job to win this election.  And I think Donald Trump is that man.

We need someone that is willing and able to KICK SOME SERIOUS A$$ for this country.  

We all want the same things . We just need someone to go out into the world and make our case for us and regain the respect we deserve. 

 

I agree with you.   You are absolutely right.    The problem with immigrating is that the good people coming in are so desperate for a better life that they will do just about anything to get in.   Some kind of system and order needs to take place to allow the good people in and keep the bad ones out.   I immigrated to this country in the 60's .  I was 4 at the time .  It took my parents 2 years of paper work to be allowed out of our former country.   I became a USA citizen at the age of 10 and I can't begin to tell you how glad I am to be here.  We were very lucky, it was easier back then.

 

Didn't know that about you. 

So, let me send a slightly belated, but nonetheless sincere, Welcome.

I'm 1st generation American, and quite proud of that.

It is only through the stories and events relayed through people like you that help keep the understanding of  America's promise alive in the hearts and minds of our next generation.

 

There is a vibrant Hispanic community out here in the Puget Sound.

Lots of professionals from all of central America setting up shop.

Their single biggest obstacle is overcoming the stigma created by all the criminals.

 

I have commented often, America's immigration laws are bad, and the HR visa program is a joke.

We can't have enforcement without a clearly defined set of attainable rules that are observed across the entire immigration spectrum.

Actually, the guy that was my best man was there on an expired visa, and for at least another decade afterwards.

MIT  I'm short on time right now but after reading all this info about you and others here I would like to say AWESOME.  I love it when people in your situation speak up and tell it like it is and let everyone know that you are proud to be here with the rest of us.  For now a simple Thank you, and to you others as well also.  We live in a great country that has some problems but we will get through them.  We always do.  Gotta run.  Thanks to all for your input, Umbertino and Divemaster.  Very important.

Why all the uproar, IMO the American people will vote for whom they want. Remember there still has to be completed the whole process. That's what is called democracy.

I do agree it's far too early to make a solid decision on a candidate.  Trump's further irrational antics over the weekend however, have completely wiped him from my consideration.  There are some provocative Republican candidates I'm eager to listen to though.  Adam Montana nailed my perspective perfectly with regards to my opinion on the voting dynamics.    

 

GO RV, then BV 

What most of us are missing is that for everything we sow, we'll reap something related to the seed we sow.  Four million Republicans stayed at home in 2012 because they couldn't swallow hard enough to vote for a Mormon.  What did that seed grow?  Obama's second term.  Regardless of what part leaders try to cram down voters' throats, compromise is NOT what this Country was founded on.  Our forefathers had massive disputes over policy, laws, amendments, etc., that were monumental, often leading to physical confrontations.  This Country was built on the right to disagree TO NO OBVIOUS OR DEMANDED END!  For instance:  There are millions of illegals in the U.S.  Why?  Because government chose to ignore existing laws simply to allow an obvious voting block to enter the U.S. for votes.  Oh they counted the costs:  hundreds of millions of dollars for education, healthcare, taking jobs from U.S. citizens, etc.  And to them that cost is justified long-term because of their certainty that these people (now non voters....but not for long!) will surely vote Democrat.  Their long-term objective?  Dependency on government, which is self perpetuating. 

 

So what should we do?  Simply ignore the seed WE put in the ground, compromising to accept many/some policies of those running for office just because we think THEY can get elected, but the one(s) we think will do the right things cannot be elected because not enough people will vote for them?  Isn't that a little hypocritical?  That's the thinking that has this nation where we are today:  in an environment of accepting what we know in our hearts are bad policies simply because we think we have no choice but to take the bad with the good, even though it's not what we think is right. 

 

Some say that we will NEVER get all we want.....any politician is going to have policies that are not exactly those that I espouse.  So we take the best we can get.  But in doing so, what does that say to our children and grandchildren?  Here's an explanation:  We all know how to make a C in school.  You can make an A with an F, a B with a D, or simply make all C's.  That's "average."  But from the last  generation to this, we now accept far more F's than previously.  And now there are far fewer A's than before.  But, as we accept those more F's, the value of C's (or average) is progressively sliding lower and lower.  Don't we owe it to the next couple of generations to if not raising the bar, at least hold it steady?  Why are we accepting average?  IF WE DON'T HOLD THE BAR UP BUT LET IT SLIDE, THAT'S ALL OUR KIDS AND THEIR KIDS ARE GOING TO KNOW.  Sure, if we hold the line, we may lose another election or two.  But isn't that the reaping of the seeds we've allowed to be sown in our lives? 

 

Folks, it isn't going to change unless Americans make it change.  Michael Jackson had a great song out 20 years ago in which the first line of the chorus said, "I'm starting with the Man in the Mirror....."  We won't embark on that journey to summarily reject average so we can reverse field and start back up until "WE" make the commitment to do so personally.  And until "WE" do it, no one else will.

The dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump

For him or against him, this is an interesting read...
It’s going to be an exciting year with Donald in the race...

Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillarious Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.  It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one. It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich — everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies.

 

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. I’ve never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated or this coordinated.  Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.  The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened like never before.  Donald Trump can self-fund that amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last two-week stretch run before Election Day.

No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.  It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the “old boys club.” They talk big, but in the end they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and multinational corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil.  Or they are owned lock, stock and barrel by foreigners....like George Soros owns Obama....or foreign governments own Hillarious with their Clinton Foundation donations.  These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there’s one man — and only one man — who isn’t beholden to anyone. There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teachers union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the bar association to fund his campaign. 

 

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says.  He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat.  Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

 

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama?  Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens?  Bizarre, right?  It defies logic, right?  First, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed.  Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed.  Whether they are having affairs, or secretly ***, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.  Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that.  The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account.  Trust me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader.  They know everything.  Thirdly , many Republicans are petrified of being called “racists.”  So they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.  Fourth, why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you’re a “good boy,” you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting.  The big-money interests have the system gamed.  Win or lose, they win.

 

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides — but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.  Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; questioning why the border is wide open; questioning why no wall has been built across the border; questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes yet are not deported; and, questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.  Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick.  Good question.

 

I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.  Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records.  Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.  How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department, when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?  Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop this.  They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask,  Trump could wake a sleeping giant.  Trump’s election would be a nightmare.  Obama has committed many crimes.  No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute.  He will not hesitate.  Once Trump gets in and gets a look at “the cooked books” and Obama’s records, the game is over. The gig is up. The goose is cooked.  Holder could wind up in prison.  Jarrett could wind up in prison.  Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.  Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails, or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while secretary of state, or for “misplacing” $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.  The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.  Obamacare will be defunded and dismantled.  The Obama crime family will
be prosecuted for crimes against the American people.  And Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters.
 

Trump will investigate.  Trump will prosecute.  Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.  Yes, it’s become open season on Donald Trump.  The leftand the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates.  But they can’t silence him. And they sure can’t intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he’s the one telling the truth.  And the left can’t stand that.

 

Don't be surprised if Trump has a heart attack or an accident...
