Trump’s America - Page 56 - Politics and Economics

In least surprising news ever - Mexico will not be paying for the wall. So to sum up - poor people who voted for Trump out of economic anxiety - your Medicare, Social Security, Planned Parenthood, Obamacare, and who knows what else is under threat. But on the plus side - you get to pay for a boondoggle wall with your tax dollars. Which you'll be paying a higher % of - since tax breaks for the wealthy is first on the agenda. Oh yeah, Trump is also buddy-buddy with Clinton again. She's not getting locked up, and he just pulled off the greatest con of all time.

He's going to be completely disastrous for a ton of the people who voted for him, as well as showing that he conned the hell out of them with his rhetoric about coal mining jobs and Mexico paying for the wall.

And they'll show up in droves in four years to vote for him again.

I mean I'm still on disability and joe next door got replaced by a robot and lost his insurance you can't argue with numbers. Unless they're official government statistics obviously those are all false.

And i read on facebook that [democratic candidate] is involved in all sort of corruption. It wouldn't be on the Internet if it wasn't true and they say there's no smoke without fire. Gotta vote trump to keep crooked [democratic candidate] out of the white house.

Trump supporters ask "What's the big deal?" about Russia hacking.

Quote:

... interviews with Trump supporters here in Louisiana, ..., and in Indiana, ..., found opinions about the report that ranged from general indifference to outright derision.

“From the parts of the report I’ve seen,” said Rob Maness, a retired Air Force colonel who twice ran for Senate here as Tea Party favorite, “it seems silly.”
...
Even if the Russians did do it — which some were more willing to concede than others — what difference did it make? People did not need the Russians to make up their minds about Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump’s election opponent. Blaming her loss on the Russians was, as one Trump supporter here said, “just being sore losers.”

You forgot this gem:

Quote:

In Louisiana, David Gubert, 56, chain-smoked Eagle 20 cigarettes in the cab of his pickup, with stacks of firewood for sale behind him in the bed. Like the Willises, he ruminated on what it would mean if the Russians had gotten involved, and possibly even swung the election.

But Mr. Gubert came to a different conclusion.

“If that’s what it took,” he said, “I’m glad they did it.”

Is this a Mississippi thing? Or just some deplorable running the account?

Seems like they must be deplorables: https://www.google.com/#q=great+americans+day

Zero hits relevant to MLK day, except for the tweet you cited + backlash.

Now a cursory glance will note three increasingly upsetting additions to that list of holidays, but the real coup de grace is the subtraction from the 3rd Monday in February.

If Mississippi actually did secede, would anyone really miss it?

Yes, the south still openly celebrates the murder of hundreds of thousands of real Americans at the hands of treasonous traitors.

No wonder they supported trump.

also love how all those southern states hate the federal government but get over $2 for every one dollar paid in federal taxes, even accounting for their heartless and morally indefensible refusal of medicaid expansion

Sourced from The Atlantic. Graph shows the return each state gets for every $1 given to the federal govt.

States getting over $2 back include KY, WV, MS, AL, LA, FL and SC.

Don't be such a mark, Ohio would obviously come out to its music, look at the trash in the ring, then turn around announce that it will never enact abortion laws like those jabronis and leave to a chorus of boos. Classic heel turn

Many people are saying he bragged about killing someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Someone should look at what's going on there.
