They said the way to deal with the drug epidemic was to give out more drugs. The result — more addicts and more homeless people.

Its not sad.... its about time the public woke up !

Nobody can survive the democratic tax and spend agenda.

President trump has saved America in just one year, imagine how wonderful life will be if he is president for seven more.....

America is great again.

Oh year JW, Trump's fixed that democracy thing. Just switch over to a monarchy.

I laugh when people say the Democrats spend too much. The Republicans campaign on cutting costs, but then get into office and spend just as profligately as the Democrats do. At least the Democrats are honest about it.

By the way, do you know that spending went up during the DOGE fiasco?

Imagine how wonderful life will be when Trump is allowed to stifle all dissent. Are you okay with Trump being a king/dictator JW? Because that's what he's pushing for and you seem to be totally okay with everything he does, no matter how authoritarian. Do you want to live in a Putin-like ruled America? I don't, and more Americans don't than support the lunatic wannabe dictator, but I'm just curious if there's a line Trump can cross that you won't support.

Martial law? Dissolution of Congress? Shutting down the courts? Anything?

No Jim, it's you who has no credibility. Or facts. Or even a clue. Your laundry list of lies would be laughable if there weren't so many Americans that also, like you, have a deadly case of TDS that has blinded them to the facts. If you had even the slightest bit of factual information your list would disappear.

Get a clue Jim, there's a whole world of facts out there you're not getting wherever you're getting your misinformation.

Mike, just where is this treasure trove of "facts" and "evidence", of which you speak? And please, don't tell us to "Google it", because that's flat-out lazy, plus, Google hasn't been the most objective purveyor of political information. Every time I use their IA search, it has a reliably leftist spin until you start to drill down and call it out.

You keep saying the same things over and over without much to back up your assertions, and you never answer any direct questions. All you have are your accusations and projections. You're basically regurgitating the latest iterations of Rachael Maddow and that left-wing fake news network she works for.

Seriously, before you know it, you'll be telling us that the billion-dollar Minneapolis/Lewiston Somali scandal is all a figment of our imagination. The Democrat machine had nothing to do with it. It's all a bunch of "White men's fault."

Maybe take a stab at explaining the increasing influence of Communists and Islamic extremists taking over the Democratic Party agenda.

And why exactly do the Democrats think that they can pick and choose which laws to enforce when it comes to illegal immigration? And why do they support the narcoterrorists bringing their cargo by sea? Afterall, how many terrorists did St. Barack of Obama kill with drones (including Americans) with the Dems tacit approval?

BTW, Merry Christmas :).

MEPD, I have no doubt anything factual would appear "leftist" to you. You're so far to the right you have to look left to see Genghis Kahn.

In addition to your disgustingly strong case of TDS, you don't seem to be able to retain information. For example, I acknowledged the Minnesota fiasco in a previous response post. I also pointed out that it was much less than Trump is grifting as president.

You might want to re-think opening a conversation about selective application (or flat-out ignoring in Trump's case) of laws considering who you support. It's yet another giant red flag of your TDS that you think you can point to the OTHER side and claim they do that while not admitting Trump does so much more than they do.

As far as the facts and evidence I mentioned, they've been provided over and over again by myself and others, you simply continue to ignore them. If you want them, just go back and read our letters to the editor and our responses to you and your fellow TDS sufferer JW.

Your claim and comparison about terrorists and drug dealers are insane. First of all, there is no proof the people on those boats have drugs on board. Secondly, if we were really trying to stop the flow of fentanyl we'd be focusing on the Atlantic Ocean, as that's where it's shipped, and we wouldn't be focused on Venezuela. You are once again accepting BS lies from Trump. It's not about fentanyl, that's a cover story for Trump to try to bring about a regime change. US intelligence in May (covered in a story by aljazeera) stated Maduro "probably does not have a policy of cooperating" with Tren de Aragua. As per usual, Trump ignores it and continues his insane behavior.

By the way, what happened to the claim Trump wouldn't start any new wars?

FYI, if you start with a search engine, whether Google or any other, you can then find studies that will show you the facts, but you won't do that. Or acknowledge them, incorporate them, and alter your tiresome repetition of Trump's lies.

Here's the thing MEPD, myself and others have taken the time to provide you with the facts, but you don't want to hear facts, you want people to do what you do, parrot Trump lies, when called out and proven lies pivot to different lies.

I for one will no longer waste my time doing research that you should have done before you parrot MAGA lies. Going forward I will simply point out to you that you're lying again (repeating a lie makes you a liar too).

I don't know where you get your right-wing insanity posing as information, but you should get off it and start looking at all the factual information available.

Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy New Year.
