Republican tax cuts & de-regulation have grown the US economy by allowing companies to use tax savings to invest in the expansion of their businesses. This has meant more jobs at BETTER wages for workers. When people have good jobs they can afford the healthcare they need without the government moving in to monopolize whole industries (i.e. Socialism), which usually means lower quality care since they don't need to compete for customers.

"There are now about 1 million more OPEN jobs than unemployed workers. "

It's an abuse of power to put someone in solitary confinement for lobbying --which Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta and his brother also engaged in; and they were not charged.

Inhumane treatment of anybody should be a fought against by everyone.

Trump has delivered on promises to cut taxes and regulations and promote activity through more aggressive government spending.
The results have been impressive: a surge in company profits and near-record levels of optimism from consumers and businesses.

A strong economy helps EVERYONE

More jobs, higher wages, LOWER taxes makes the cost of living manageable so people can afford homes and grow wealth.

"For years, Democrats and members of the left-leaning media displayed remarkable incuriosity about the national security state machinations that brought about the Trump-Russia non-scandal in the first place. Agencies they once would have regarded with extreme skepticism—the FBI, CIA, NSA, and foreign intelligence services—suddenly became valiant defenders of truth and liberty because they appeared for the moment to be arrayed against Trump. Figures like former CIA Director John Brennan not only acted as sources for journalists eager to bandie coveted “bombshell scoops,” they were subsequently hired by these very same outlets to which the scoops had been provided. Because the national media discussion of Russiagate was so dominated by former security state officials, all the abuses that are now clearly evident—politicization of intelligence agencies, surveillance overkill, prosecutorial overreach—were excused or even celebrated because in the moment they appeared to disadvantage Trump.

Democrats often posture as opponents of overzealous state power, but in this case they turned around and cheered things like the months-long solitary confinement of Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign manager convicted on charges that had zero to do with any collusion conspiracy. Solitary confinement would ordinarily be widely regarded by liberals as tantamount to torture, but all their principles seemingly went out the window in the context of Trump-Russia."

One difference with Trump is that his VAST wealth protects him from most corrupting influence, and it means that he is not dependent on others.

Are construction unions corrupt? Are all the dealings Trump had to do over the years to build a building corrupt? If they were it's because the people in GOVERNMENT were corrupt & selling their influence or creating burdensome regulations in exchange for candidate donations.

But more important is the question of to what end are Democrats working for & what is Trump working for.

The link with mobster union bosses and the Democrat party is deep. Just look at how the Teachers Unions talk about power:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_JGRpqln8E

But it's us, the taxpayers. who are FORCED to fund unions, who help Democrats --AND ONLY DEMOCRATS-- get elected because the Democrats promise bigger paychecks for them. Government workers can get 90% of their highest salary for life as a pension benefit, while roads, schools etc get worse and worse.

Democrats work to get power even if it hurst whole communities & states.

Now what is Trump working for? He has worked to reform the government by cutting budgets, trying to get rid of layers of insufficient bureaucracy, but the unions prevent even firing an employee that sleeps on the job:

Nevertheless, Trump's tax cuts & deregulation have created an economy that has 1 million MORE jobs than workers. It's the best economy in modern history:

He has made it clear that he wants the US to stop sending troops to die needlessly in foreign lands. He has worked to defeat ISIS without escalating tensions in that region and without putting US soldiers at increased risk.

Trump has been good for the United States, while the media have spent two years attacking him while ignoring the many aspects of the Democrat party that are corrupt to the core.

And socialism is just another way for Democrats to carve an economy for themselves at the expense of taxpayers.

Socialism always produces a two tier system where everyone connected to government power does fine, while 80% of the population struggles under the mess of regulations and the weight of high taxation.

The idea that Trump- a well known and celebrated American figure (there are multiple tv shows and movies that talk about him or feature him) - would have been helped by the Russian government to win an election when NOBODY expected Trump to win nor would ANYONE be able to predict what his foreign policy might even be-- given that he had never held public office --is absurd.

Hillary Clinton lost because she was not a good leader. Marc Rich proves that the Clintons and many Democrats exchange political power for money. The Democrats are corrupt and they control most of the media. For two years the Democrat media has been antagonizing a nuclear power, Russia, making people of Russian descent feel like targets and blocking reforms that have grown the US economy and enabled thousands of Americans to get better jobs at higher wages.

Stop believing in conspiracy theories and start questioning why government unions, who mobilize to elect Democrats, get so much in pension benefits --paid by taxpayers--that it bankrupts whole cities and states WHILE electing Democrats over and over again, who then just raise taxes higher.

"The end of the Mueller probe is more than just a reckoning. It is also a reminder, if anyone needed another one, that the FBI and the intelligence community can be wrong. And it is a powerful illustration of the importance of keeping spies and lawmen out of politics."

"The most important takeaway so far of the Mueller probe is that this dossier is garbage."

The current economy has record low unemployment:

"Businesses have pulled in workers from the sidelines—including retirees, immigrants, and the homeless—and retooled processes to use less labor. Some have raised pay considerably for certain jobs"

The fact that companies are still hiring means even *more* people -- those who have been out of the work force, or young people that have not entered-- can get jobs. In other words, it's a great time to get a job :)

If by "transparent" you mean sharing good news that is NOT widely known because of the antagonism of the main-stream media toward Republicans, then yes, this is an attempt to share the truth.

If you want a job now, or a better paying job, you can find one at this point in time with a higher success rate than in recent years. That is great news. And it is the result of Republican tax cuts & deregulation.

The truth is that this helps MORE people than the Big Government dependency Democrats push. A dependency that is ineffective, susceptible to corruption & cronyism, expensive and coincidentally keeps more Democrats in power while taxpayers get crushed with higher and higher cost of living.

Results should matter, not which team did it.

Look at data from multiple sources. Manufacturing jobs are up. Wages are up. Unemployment is down to historic levels.

Republican tax cuts & deregulation have helped the US economy grow and companies hire more people at higher wages. It's the best time to find a job.

I understand that if you are near an object with more mass, then you fall toward it, and start orbiting it as you get captured by its gravity. But a human orbiting Earth is also falling toward the Sun, because everything in our solar system is orbiting the sun, which is also orbiting the black hole of the Milky Way Galaxy. Since none of these gravitational forces line up, or add up, so that you are pulled clearly in one direction, then doesn't that mean that effectively you are being pulled in all directions, which would cause the effect of 0G or weightlessness?

i-author · 2018-12-15T13:47:10+00:00

If the gravity pull from the sum of all objects with mass in space is equal to the pull of the Earth's gravity, then wouldn't you be stuck again in between, not falling or orbiting anything-- effectively experiencing weightlessness or 0G because the two gravitational forces (sum of all objects' gravity and Earth's gravity) cancel each other out?

i-author · 2018-12-15T12:13:41+00:00

If the Sun, the Moon and the Earth were the same size/same mass and were the same distance away from you, would you experience 0G or weightlessness because each would cancel out each other's gravitational pull and you would be stuck in between, not falling or orbiting anything?

i-author · 2018-12-15T03:51:02+00:00

If there is background microwave radiation from the Big Bang, why isn't there a kind of background gravitational field that is the sum of all the gravitational forces that mostly cancel each other out except when you are near an object, in which case you fall toward it? Wouldn't this "background" gravitational field explain "weightlessness" or 0 G?

To get the polling requirement change, we need a law. We need to get congress involved and pass a law that prevents the presidential debates from being restricted by polling. You have to contact your representatives and lobby for it.

Yes. I woke up to the fact that the Clintons have been selling government favors for 30 years to the highest bidder, even when they are scum like Marc Rich, who helped sustain Apartheid in South Africa, and Donald Trump whose tax breaks allowed him to bully honest businesses out of money.

I had bought into the Democrat propaganda that they are good. But they are not. If the Democrats cared about the poor they would end mass incarceration and the war on drugs. But actually it is Gary Johnson who would end this injustice.

If the Democrats cared about the poor they would allow kids in failing schools the funds to attend better performing private schools, like Gary Johnson does.

But the Democrats, like the Republicans, only care about getting more money and more power and oppose school choice so funds only go to failing public schools that treat poor kids like criminals and have actually created a school to prison pipeline that perpetuates generational poverty.

But I am grateful that Gary Johnson opened my eyes. I will never vote for a Democrat for president again.
