President Trump is the greatest convicted political figure of our time. He is in good company, along with Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.

It's now officially open season on any politician who any Podunk prosecutor happens to disagree with. I can only hope SCOTUS has the good sense to step in and squash this like the poisonous bug it is.

If not, well... I've said it repeatedly and I'll say it again: Bienvenidos a Venezuela.

Anybody want a banana? :crazy:

The pretentious and highly defective autocratic, supposedly, democracy states in Central and South America are the building blocks for the US Democrat Party, which is why nearly ten million citizens from those nations have been allowed to enter the USA illegally over the past 3+ years. The Democrats need these people to influence and build their base of supporters, while espousing, through newspeak propaganda sound bites, that all people are equal in the eyes of our constitutional guarantees. Yet, the Democrats have an Orwellian Animal Farm mind set that says all people are equal but some people are more equal than others. As the Democrats continue to build their deep state politburo of "elites", our liberties as a nation are being eroded. Even their party name of Democrat has become an oxymoron, like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nothing could be further from their aspirations of political power than democracy and they will not be satisfied until they achieve their dystopian society of people serving their desires. Not to be outdone by the totalitarian regimes of China and Russia, the Democrats hypocritical liberal policies, pretending to be compassionate, will continue to be pushed on us for what they say is for the good of the nation and to serve a higher purpose, and tens of millions of dependent, entitlement minded sheep will follow them. Liberalism has morphed into a disease within the Democrat Party that must be eradicated, starting with this November's elections, if it's not too late already. God bless to USA.

Honestly, all that "protecting democracy" stuff makes me laugh harder than anything. Ben Franklin once described pure democracy as two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The founding fathers knew that and feared it, which is why we live in a republic, not a democracy. It's why the electoral college is essential, and why we have three branches with precisely circumscribed powers. It's why we don't have mob rule.

At least not yet. Big fail in Civics 101, I'm sad to say.

God Bless America. :patriot:

It doesn't get any better than this for the promotion of our next Commander and Chief. Historic Picture!

Honest to Betsy, I got a chill almost like the one I always get watching the film of those long-ago Marines on Suribachi. As somebody who's been shot at -- not in the military, but shot at just the same -- all I can say is, "That's a leader you can follow." I kind of liked Trump all along, but now, this year, I think I'd walk through gunfire to get to the voting booth.

... Marines on Suribachi.
Perfect comparison! Even the historic picture of that event on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima has a similar look.
