like a poster said yesterday....YES they are stupid and I will continue to tell them that as loudly as I possibly can. They made the decision to vote for a known con man, misogynist, racist, Islamaphobic asshole on some weak shit that he's going to "drain the swamp", "bring good paying jobs back". What a laugh people so easily fooled are. They were stupid and may I add just like their candidate/now boy potus before they voted for this disaster and they are stupid now...whether they stay that way....we'll see. After he get finished putting the screw to them, we'll see. To hell with them, they get everything they deserve and hopefully much more. I'm going to get it too, but my eyes are wide open and I expect the worse, these dumbasses are living in a dream bubble that will burst.

Well now--Trump did promise to help the inner cities. But how is the question. riversedge Feb 2017 #1
The greatest detail he's given about inner cities is talk of "law and order".. JHan Feb 2017 #3
Right. Didn't he hint at sending the National Guard into Chicago? Tanuki Feb 2017 #4
