“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly."

Matthew 6:1‭-‬4

I always thought it was heartless of him to argue that he would handle thing so much better and save so many lives, without actually doing that.

If things TRULY are as bad as you say, and you do have the answer to the problem. Why hold the magical solution ransom until you can get into office?? If you're truly worried about all these people and you can fix it, why wait?

Had to go to a laundromat for the first time in like 15 years while helping clean someone's home.

Was chatting with the attendant when she told me how excited she was to be making almost double what she makes now. I said "that will be nice, I hope you're able to tuck some of that away quickly before the prices of things start spiking." She seemed almost baffled. I left the conversation at that because I didn't have the heart to tell her that the owner of the laundromat would likely need to make certain cutbacks and changes due to the newly imposed higher minimum wage.

Hopefully she still actually has a job by the time this rolls around

I really feel like this is the general consensus in my area. We have a large native american population and almost all of them call themselves Indians or "NDN" and most of the people I associate with think it's stupid for the local High School football teams (the Indians and the Redskins) to be forced to change their names.

I have yet to actually meet one person who is thankful for a team name/mascot change or even cares enough to mention it.

I lived very close to where he used to live before he moved to TN. I have met Garth on more than one occasion and he genuinely seemed like a decent guy. As an Okie I was raised on his music...

After today, I will never listen to another one of his songs again.

The only special guest who could even remotely get me to reconsider my vile hate towards this regime would be Jesus himself.

I want to believe this isn't serious... But I know it likely is.

The people of Oklahoma really screwed up, he could have been their governor.

Before GEOTUS I cared very little about politics.

I was born during the Reagan presidency.

I was in daycare during Daddy Bush and remember learning about war at this time during Desert Storm.

I was in Elementary school when I learned that presidents can be bad people and cheat on their wives during the Slick Willie administration.

I was in high school for Baby Bush and 9/11

The first time I was old enough to vote, Obama won, so my vote didn't matter. Then despite our failing economy and me losing my job he was voted in AGAIN!!!

I have always loved America, but after seeing failed politician after failed politician in my young life, I never dreamed I could put much hope into one.

Trump has awakened the sleeping patriot within me, he has forced me to see why I have no faith in politicians and why I cannot remain complacent. I do believe the best is yet to come, not because he is going to pull off some grand finale, but because I'm not the only person who he has woken up. We're alert and we're not happy.

I had long forgotten that America was a republic and the politicians work for us and not the other way around.

I am thankful that he has made me see the truth. I will forever love President Trump.

How do we turn it off though?? Shittiest movie I've ever seen and I can't even unplug the damn tv!

It's only a problem when you allow words and faceless people using them to dictate how you feel.

If you are offended by the lack of PC language, you need to assess why you allow these things to offend you.

Don't give people the power or authority over how you feel.

The specific word usage is what keeps looping me back in for another hit. I'm fully prepared for nothing good or big to happen tomorrow... But the word usage is very odd. GEOTUS has always exaggerated his speech and seemingly spoken off the cuff. But his language in his speeches since the pre-recorded one on the 6th have been very odd and out of character.

Something is really off about them. I'm not saying something good or something bad... Just something isn't right

Word on the street is they haven't talked to each other for a long time. It's said that when she wrote her book pushing this russian collusion conspiracy he threw it in the trash.

Bill is a POS but I think it's interesting that her being batshit crazy is the demise of their relationship.

I feel like the left would be happy to see the removal of the American flag. A lot of them feel that having National Pride is ridiculous or embarrassing. Being Patriotic is absurd to them.

My brother in law is an "oppressed" black male. He tried to pick a fight with me about being targeted by police because of his skin color.

I shut him down quick because he is a "street racer". I said "I don't generally go over 70 in my little SUV, how fast do you drive?" He didn't have shit to say after that.

As a genealogist, many people would be very shocked to see the black slave ancestry in the lineage of white people.

I myself (white af), am the descendant of slaves. My 7th great grandmother was a black slave, and her husband was a white indentured servant from England. Their son is listed as a "person of color" revolutionary war soldier. Even though he was a free man, he wasn't allowed to battle or hold weapons but he escorted prisoners hundreds of miles to their camps.

But based on the liberal agenda, my ancestry doesn't matter and I'm still a white supremacist... Go figure!

He is ensuring that department heads are the ones making the rules in positions that are not elected.

I skimmed through it, but I gathered that he was saying the people elect the president (or are supposed to) and by our selection we allow the President to pick and choose heads of departments. He doesn't want people he hasn't selected (lower level people) making any of the rules for those departments.

This is giving me flashbacks to my school days when me and my bestie would get detention together.

Not trying to toot my own horn but I was EXACTLY like this kid. My dad raised me to speak out and taught me about important current events.

For people who want a kid like this, make sure you talk to them like they're adults and help them understand what's going on in the world.

Expose the hypocrisy of the left to them. Kids understand basic right and wrong, And democrats are wrong on a VERY basic level.

...and then make sure they know they will NEVER be in trouble at home for speaking up for what's right respectfully.

My dad always told me that if I debate with respect, then I will never be in trouble with him
