@SimplyTracie If You Became President & Entered The whitehouse When America Was in the Worst Shape What Would You Do To Improve it
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@JohnOinger Well, I’d definitely start by surrounding myself with competent people. All those that Trump fired would be on the short list.

@SimplyTracie What Did You Think Of Ronald Reagan
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@JohnOinger
I know bits and pieces like, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall!”

Reagan wants to tear down walls while Trump wants to build walls.
My feelings should be obvious. 😂😂😂

@SimplyTracie I remember all the naysayers thought Reagan would get us into a major war with Russia! Obviously didn't happen, and the Soviet Union broke up! And the Berlin Wall was to keep their people in as prisoners not to keep out illegals!

@fanuc2013 The only reason that happened was because Reagan did not know until he visited a major defence installation ho w powerful nuclear weapons were. He went inside this mamoth armoured defence facility and aked what would happen if a nuke landed outside and was staggered to be told that they wouldn't exist.

His Pacifist ideals of his younger days took control even though he was enamoured with SDI.

Reagan first term, Raygun, second term Raypeace:)

@fanuc2013 You’re right. Walls serve no good purpose except to punish.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@Zeusdelight shouldn't peace be the ultimate goal?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie I have to disagree, walls are also to protect!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Yeah and it also keeps your house warm and cozy.

And it also keeps Mexicans out. Because you know, they bring drugs. They bring crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie most are good people, but how do you sort them out? They have to come here legally like millions of others have! You have to agree, it's not fair for some to just come in, and others to have to wait because they want to do it legally!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 That’s exactly what he shoulda said, “most” are good people. Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people. And some, I assume are bad people.

I’m against people doing anything illegally. I’m against people lying and it’s perfectly legal to lie.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie maybe legal under some circumstances but not moral. Now, I've listened to Trump's speeches, and I thought it was pretty clear that he doesn't think that all the illegals are bad people. But, there are bad people mixed in with them! You can't deny that! And, the illegals are inundating our system! I know people that live in Texas, and their resources are stretched beyond the breaking point!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 I heard him say that about Mexicans. They rapist, etc and he assumes some are good people. People like that about Trump - he means what he says and says what he means.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Just enforce the laws. That’s all. Entering the US illegally is a misdemeanor and must be punished as the laws require. It’s really that simple.

No need to emphasize that Mexicans are rapists or drug dealers. What if Justin Trudeau said that about Americans?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie the leftists don't want to enforce existing laws! They are cultivating voters! They want to give illegals drivers licenses, health care, welfare payments, and free schooling! That's the point of "sanctuary cities" where residents are taxed to pay for illegals! A lot of middle class people are moving out of California,and, I think there will be a big turnover in the politicians next election because of "sanctuary" policies
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Is a Leftist anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter! Maybe they want to give them a drivers license (I don’t know) but they cannot get one if the law prohibits it.
The police may not want to enforce existing laws (I don’t know) but they must whether they like it or not. Not doing so is grounds for termination.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie check it out! The mayors are ordering their police not to co-operate with ICE, trying to change laws to give out drivers licenses, and other perks! Now, I should be more clear, I mean the radical Leftists, like the BLM guy that was arrested today at a protest screaming "Trump must die!" He admitted he was going to shoot any MAGA people.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 Yikes! Did that guy have lotsa guns?

That’s the difference, right? Conservatives all love Trump and would never get involved with the BLM movement and say anything so violent. Right?
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie yes, he did have a gun. Now, all conservatives don't love Trump, but he is the best alternative at this point. I have hever heard of a conservative making threats like that. But, there probably have been some, there are mental cases on both sides.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@fanuc2013 You’re right about those mental cases.

I’d have voted for Mitt Romney 2020
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@SimplyTracie I kind of liked Gabbard, but the good-ole-boy network would never let her get the nomination. Now Romney's father was our governor many years ago, and did a good job
