Comments on: Trump To DACA Kids: You're On Your Own http://www.chrisweigant.com/2018/04/02/trump-to-daca-kids-youre-on-your-own/ Reality-based political commentary Sun, 14 Jun 2026 03:59:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: ListenWhenYouHear http://www.chrisweigant.com/2018/04/02/trump-to-daca-kids-youre-on-your-own/#comment-118114 ListenWhenYouHear Wed, 04 Apr 2018 03:00:41 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/?p=15308#comment-118114 Just read an article concerning Sinclair Broadcasting forcing they local news people to record ads concerning “fake news”... many against their will. I think the news people who do not like being forced to say conservative propaganda messages should claim they do not have to because doing so would violate their deeply held religious beliefs. I would think that Sinclair would have to allow for that given their position on the matter.

He’s now calling for our military to patrol the border to Mexico. Fox & Friends, where Trump gets his morning briefings from apparently, has been focused on the large caravan of people from Central America making their way towards the US, hoping to seek asylum here. Thus, Trump whips himself into a tizzy terrified that “THEY” ARE COMING!!! Arrests for illegal entry into this country at the southern border haven’t been this low since 1971!!! (the year I was born) Trump’s approval ratings are up on Rasmussen’s poll, which is the only one that matters to our President. Trump’s reality TV brain is only interested in his ratings. That means he is only interested in the short game. Perfect for someone with such an incredibly short attention span.

I think you're, ultimately, correct -- hope so, anyway. Getting through the sludge until we climb out of the swamp and start moving toward being a democracy again -- that's the challenge for now. But I agree with your premise that progress is happening and building and can't really be halted. It's just a matter of the collateral damage during the interim.

Their petty venom designed to anger you are really their last gasp screams. Progress, particularly social progress, is moving faster and faster - 10 years ago today the soon to be Democratic President deemed the brave leader was still equivocating on gay marriage. It took Joe Biden to blurt out an oopsie before Obama would find his balls on the issue. Gay Marriage! Obama! 2012! Six years ago Obama "came out", now gay marriage is the law and the majority of America accepts it. The country is getting better. Trump is a road bump that progress will roll over, probably still gathering speed. Paula:

Gay Marriage! Obama! 2012!

Sometimes the <i>intensity</i> lessens, but it's because of exhaustion and because I reach a point where I, at least for a time, can't hate any harder. It's like I level off - not that the hate decreases in volume, just that my muscles are building enough strength to support the weight. Then I rest and discover, why yes, I CAN hate the guy and his gang even more! Some "conservatives" complain that Blotus-opposers now react negatively to everything and anything the criminal-incompetent does, says, tweets. We're not balanced in our responses they say. My reply: "you broke it, you own it. There is such a thing as a point of no return, of too little too late." Blotus will continue to hover in his 30-40 range, I think. He may well go lower but I don't think he'll ever go much more than a few points higher, and those will be blips that won't last. Because the detestation and knee-jerk hostility is now baked-in -- cemented-in. And may he drag every republican still in office down with him.
