You think everyone who disagrees with you hates the country.
Actually that is not true. I do question ones love for their country when they verbally state an impending fundamental change, and then work to dismantle it starting with the foundation. I roll like that.

Trump knows he can curry favor with his base by demonizing Islam wherever and whenever possible. It's good politics for him, and anything she says will be taken out of context and used to attack Islam.

Please remember this is the same Trump who saw thousands of Muslims cheering 911 in NYC or NJ (didn't happen), kisses Saudi butt (the most radical sect of Islam), and happily accepts Muslim money and business.

Why didn't Trump denounce MBS? Why does he support our continued participation in the Yemen atrocities?

It all boils down to keeping the base enraged and happy.
He is doing it just to piss you off personally, seems to be working.

Why do you hate (want to fundamentally change) America?
Because America always changes.

And you are being ridiculous. I simply want to change the priorities on which we spend. We’ve already established that we don’t care about deficits or debt. I’d rather spend on something better.

You roll like a fat sweaty pig in slop.

You've established that you don't care about the debt. A lot of us do.

You've established that you don't care about the debt by supporting Trump.
Every time, and I do mean every time, that a Republican has enacted policies that lowered taxes and resulted in more revenue to the government, the Democrats have insisted on taking the increased revenue and put it into spending. Not in reducing debt, not in balancing the budget, not in saving for more difficult times, but in spending. And with money thrown around to various interest groups they get votes in return. There's your Swamp in action. And the Republicans always are smeared into being the bad guys for wanting to be fiscally responsible. No different this time.

Trump cut taxes with no plan to cut spending. Then he signed off on a budget that spirals us further into debt.

You refuse to accept that fact, and simply attempt to shift blame. Put down the koolaid.

It was a budget that couldn't get passed without concessions to Democrat spending. Plenty of Republicans opposed it. Trump made a deal with Dems to get his military spending. And while I want a strong military I think Trump should have listened to the Republicans. Are you onboard for reduced spending?

So the majority that could find a way to cut taxes without Democratic support couldn’t find a way to reduce spending without Democratic support?

They say that where there’s a will there’s a way...

Maybe there was no will.

There you go again with the all of one mind stuff. As if every Republican sees all things the same way. You ought to know from your own party not everyone wants the same things. The only way Trump could get the military spending he wanted was to work with Democrats. Not all Republicans, but a large group, refused to go along with his spending plans. You want to hang everything on Republicans and the average person will just accept that as truth.

Are you saying that the republicans refused to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security?

They don’t need democrats for that, just the courage of their convictions.
