so your saying years of doing much good for blacks and hispanics with no sign of racism. yet, in the last year he is a racist? you people need to get off of msn, cnn, fox and all other BS news outlets. he has been hiring blacks in construction companies paying standard wages way before it was law to do so.
Sarcasm @drazil. Trump was considered a pretty good guy until last year. He's still the same guy, the only thing that changed is he declared himself a Republican.
True, but people also post "interests," which may or may not be "fun." Politics has always dominated conversations in election years, and this one is a reality TV circus. At least you only have 3 more months to suffer! Lol.
I'm ok with a few political posts, but those rants really get me. 3 more months of suffering, but then four more years of it, whichever candidate is chosen.
Yeah I don't think it'll stop after the election either. Both candidates have too many haters. I'd actually maybe say sometime after inauguration now that I think about it. Whoever wins the other side will keep whining for awhile. I think it will slow down quite a bit though after November. I hope.
We haven't seen an election like this recently, but politics has been even more heated in the past. Hell, there was a time when fist fights and even duels were fairly common in Washington, and the media has been in the thick of it since the beginning. The difference is that with 24-hour news, reality TV, and social media we see it more and in real-time.
However, 10 or more years ago we didn't have society unraveling to the point that so many people have no respect for the sanctity of life, and so many shootings and bombings are now commonplace. Fingers crossed and hammers cocked.
I know what you mean. I keep reminding myself that society is cyclical and we're due for an upswing, (we're actually pretty close to where we were in the late sixties with the violence and racial tensions) but I've gotta wonder just how low we can go before we turn around again.
And it's not just us. Other countries are noticing, and America's reputation is crumbling. Something is coming- wee have had many protests, and a lot of change. But with all the change comes trouble.
Yeah I know. I'm a history buff and we really have been here before societally, but the whole world is a fustercluck too right now and I'm not sure that's happened before.
Yeah, everyone else is changing a lot. We have coups, brexit, terrorists, and all sorts of stuff is happening at once and there seems to be a lot of tension. I can't say I'm a history buff, and you seem to know what you're talking about, so I'll take your word for it.
It's really amazing how little things change; we just forget until we actually look back. Take Obamacare for instance. Turns out it was in the works for a long time and was actually a pretty big issue in the 1963 election.
But, things do feel different right now...
He has a black friend.
Lol
