The REAL Waste of Impeachment

[Whig]

Trump, with all of his faults, has done more good for this country than anyone in recent history. We need business men and women running this country, not politicians. If you want someone polished and "politically correct" you can vote for another lawyer/politician. But we have someone now making great business policy getting rid of regulations and opening the door for better trade policies. Hard to fault progress and success unless you are interested in socialism, I guess.

We've given "Kinder, gentler" a try with Bush and Obama. Didn't get us anywhere.

I do want to see Trump, in his second term, attack the deficit and entitlements more and get term limits pushed through. That's where no politician has gone before!

I do want to see Trump, in his second term,...get term limits pushed through. That's where no politician has gone before!

If he does that, Id gladly proclaim him the greatest president ever. Career politicians more concerned with staying in office than doing whats right is THE problem with politics in America.

Amen! Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. We broke away from Britain because we didnt want a king but we wound up with dukes and earls, entitled for life using taxpayer dollars as voter [bribe] entitlements and selective taxes to keep themselves in power. The country is BROKE, they have to continuously raise the debt limit to pay the countrys bills.

Oh well, the Biden's will be a mute point down the road. Looks like Bernie is surfacing to the top with his Socialist agenda. I believe it was Marx that touted you can't just go to Communism, there is a step in between and it is called Socialism. So we are getting there, little by little....incrementally. Never realized it until I watched a show over the weekend, but Stalin and Mao had more people killed in their respective Communist countries than Hitler did in his Fascist country. And I sure as heck ain't sticking up for Hitler. Hopefully, us Americans can somehow pull it together and keep this country as it was founded with its self-evident truths despite our differences.

Well said. The price of freedom is vigilance. Remember the past or repeat it.

Not often I reply to political posts on a gun forum, but you guys are all spot on!
My first vote at 18 was Jimmy Carter, in my opinion a truly great man. He was under cut by R.R. even though he did all the right things dealing with the hostage crisis. R.R. turned out to be a great president. Politics are ugly.
I was young then, and now see now our votes can only change the basic course of the giant Fed ship for a while. All levels of government feeds on growing itself.
But votes do count, the swamp won't drain, and these socialists only exist because of lazy people looking for an easy ride.
Trump is mostly a jackass, but the best vote now for all of us.

I didn't vote for Trump in the 2016 primaries. But now I see that it took a "jackass" to accomplish things he has done. One of the intangible things he has done is to expose the liberal media (most media is liberal). A lot of us knew the bias of the media. We (if you are a conservative) took it in the shorts. We have been called Bible thumpers (I'm ok with that), old white haired men, racist, deplorables, gun grabbing, etc. The media gets away with that. In the past we said "may we have another, please". Now there is somebody speaking back....with yellow hair.
Again, I hope both sides come back to center and debate having more respect for the other side with the American people as a whole being the beneficiary.

It took a "New York gangster" to show us who the enemy is, Socialists and the Establishment, and showed us the way on how to fight them.

State of the union was inspiring. I retract my "jackass" comment.
He has risen to the job since then. As did President R.R. earlier.
I loved watching Pelosi and her reactions. Hopefully they will all be swept out, or learn to compromise again.

Want to see the "lost battalion" now.

This is the best State of the Union Address that I have seen since Reagan. Trump has saved this country from where it was and where it had been heading fast when Obama was president. He is the first president to keep his promises even in the face of the democrats and media opposing him all the way. The democrats have nothing to show for the time he has been president except the two year failed Mueller investigation and an impeachment that has garnered more support for President Trump than ever. Pelosi wasn't too bad throughout the speech until the very end when she stood up and tore up her copy of his speech and threw it on the table! That was low!

She earned her nickname "Piglosi" for that action!

It is amazing to watch the democrats fail to stand and applaud all of the positive things Trump highlighted in his speech about how things are doing well with his accomplishments. The State of the Union is pretty good and getting better and they are darned bitter because they know that they can't win elections with that kind of record to run against.

It was nice he gave a shout out for protecting the Second Amendment also. I didn't like how he pushed through banning the bump stock, though.
