It seems like an endorsement from Van fricking Jones should have some people concerned.

Apparently you didn't hear Van's comments. Except for "one" moment during the speech Van said he opposed every point Trump made.

It was definitely centered around nationalism, law and order, and big government programs.



A good term to describe such an idealogy should be National Socialism. An idealogy centered around national pride, native citizens helping one another with a strong central government providing a safety net and putting its own people first while getting rid of undesirable outsiders.

1/3 are Libertarians who still post here sometimes lauding Trump and sometimes deriding him

I'm in this camp of calling balls, strikes and hits.

Last night's speech was a double, no triple because of policy differences.

quote:

---

1/3 left the board due to the Trumpkins becoming insufferable with their overuse of the word "cuck".

There are some of those that are still around like UHTiger, TN Bhoy and maybe Dawg in Beaumont although he hasn't posted in a long time?

shite AG

You scared a little Jeffy baw? You got a gro op in your closet? As soon as Sessions gets all his ducks in a row, then Trump can break the bad news about entitlememt cuts.

Been saying this since last night, Obama or Clinton could have easily delivered the vast majority of that speech last night. Of course, there would have been a much different reaction to it on this board......

Is this the new talking point that was manufactured this morning?

Says "cuck" is overused

Uses the word "Trumpkin"

TRUMP was never a republican nor democrat.

i for one voted for him to see him wreck shite and i am not a dissapoint.

This. Also I'm not a conservative or a republican. I'm an American. And most of the time during my lifetime the Republican Party more matched my life perspective more than democrats.

Trump, in the form of a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, matches mine almost exactly. I don't necessarily mind spending government money. But I want it INVESTED, not WASTED. Big difference.

There is no such thing as fiscal conservatism. Government always gets bigger, not smaller. Can you point me to a president that left office with a smaller government than when he entered?

He was smart enough to ride the horse of a major party. He is a mix of both which is why the liberal outrage is laughable.

I've started threads positing the idea that Trump will spend in order to co-opt the Dem Base and stack the Supreme Court for decades to come.

Further, Spending (credit/deficit/debt-based) will be required to get us over a hump until a REAL economy can resume. Getting over that 'hump' and addressing monumental economic dynamics re technological change, psychological work dysfunction in a lot of our spoiled, entitlement-minded populous and the massive unemployment therein, will be no easy task. I'm not sure Jesus could pull it off; though he didn't try the last time.

Jones is smart. And I suspect that like many, his Authoritarian Socialist Ideological leaning is well-intentioned.

Bottom line. Any way we cut it, IF we indeed move forward into a monumental high-tech age, things are not going back to the old economic model of subsistence basics being earned and relative to an individual's personal market-based value in offering a particular good or service. That has been morally challenged, and is gone. Lest the System implodes, anarchy prevails...and a lot of the weak go away.
