Nope, but he is not one that will take to being 'beaten' in the political arena by a woman. So 25% of the .gov is shutdown and the economic ripple effects are going to continue.

I hope you didn't take that as directed at you in any way. It was not.

Yes, I have been following this and I am in agreement with you. The ZERO donation is the cherry on top.

I don't see it as some sort of misogynist chest beating, I see it as, he's doing [shocker] exactly what he said he would do, both during the campaign, and when he signed the porkulous omnibus spending bill. He admitted he got bent over in order to get the yuge military budget, which he needed to negotiate with China, North Korea, etc.

He needed that to show them that we're the biggest swinging dick on the planet, and give no fvcks.

You'll recall at that time he said that was a one and done, that he wouldn't do that again, and next go round the wall would have to be funded. Well, here we are. He's doing exactly what he said he would do, and the only thing he hasn't done that I would like to see is a prime time oval office 'fireside chat.' He needs to explain to the people, in prime time, with Ross Perot style charts and graphs, exactly WHY we need the wall, proof that it works in places where we have one and why it will work better when it's everywhere, and finally, give the stats not just on percentage of our prison population, school population, hospital population, etc. that is illegal, but also the human cost....the Angel Families, the people who have been assaulted, robbed, hit with no insurance, etc.

This is not just a winning issue for Trump politically, but really, an indefensible position by the Dems. They are saying, hey, fvck you citizens, we're going to make you suffer to keep the routes open for illegal aliens, including human traffickers, drug smugglers, terrorists, and just general uneducated poor that will pop out babies here and live on the taxpayer's dole.

You really get a sense of where you stand here.

No, I didn't. I'm pretty pissed what happened to the student. Not sure if what I emailed the President of UVa will have any impact whatsoever, but I did what I could. Things are totally F'n out of hand. You just can't shut everyone down that disagrees with you, and that is what they did, and all he did was question them. We are living in a world of thin skinned, snowflake pussies, and I have no room for it.

I am 100% CERTAIN, the worst is yet to come. They are still testing the limits and every time they move the ball and inch, they laser focus on the next mile. The HUGE issue is that until someone officially takes a stand and starts some SERIOUS push-back, they WILL achieve their goal.

There's a line from a really great song,

"I spent 4 years prostrate to the higher mind. Got my paper and I was free."

I always thought that was deep, deeper still because it came from a couple of down home lesbians from Jawja.
