One might want to check how many things pass for id. No reason anyone cant vote. . Racism. " Yeh, that's the ticket" for everything. The term " Minorities" is used too loosely , the nation's various races dont want be grouped or associated because they have their own cultures and have made their own paths.

No one said racism, they said "voter suppression"..Last election, republicans closed 860 polling places in mostly democratic counties in the South, coincidence??

Hope that voter fraud investigation happens. Likely Pres Trump gets egg on face for his numbers but at least that question be answered and any loopholes be tughtened up .. Away from the zany tweets, it is apparent that he had his agenda, was not just election blabber of politicians, even if one hates or disagrees with it. Good to see him taking on the disregarded issue of gangs and black on black violence that plagues inner cities. Expect liberals to moan anout his poltical incorrectness but watch him lift those neighborhoods for the masses.

His plans will also blow out the deficit another 8.6 trillion, you on board for that too???

Our interest on national debt is supposedly $3 bil a day which is ludicrous. Problem us that damage by Bush is still felt and the US economy has to avoid being another Japan where we stagnate with slow growth for decades

Trump is promoting the same policies as Bush and same policies a every other Republican President..Cut tax for the rich..Larger debt and deficits while preaching the exact opposite...Destroy our kids future in the environment and the economy..A most selfish behavior..

The closing of 868 polling stations in battleground state just before the election..How do you support these people...Greedy, non-ethical people, zero compassion for the common man...

The underpinnings of the banking/ housing crisis was from legislation for the "common man". Trump was smart to snuff the FH pmi cut before another subprime problem arose. Some will ride the wave up to middle class while others wull clamor to be a Venezulan state.

to ignore the racist and sexist element in all this is being ignorant.

not everything is racist or sexist BUT there's a good amount that is. mainly b/c the dominant species in this country's history has been the white male. look at a picture of the GOP and that's all you really see. and it's human nature to protect your own kind.

economic decisions made by government hurt people of all color and sex. it favors the rich (again mostly white) but hurts everyone else.

but many civil and human right decisions do their best to suppress minorities and women. that's just how the ball rolls.

closing polling places in mainly black neighborhoods - the criminal justice system - defunding planned parenthood...those are all actions and institutions that hurt non-whites and women. the country was built on racism.

I understand exactly what Im saying about your no help for the common man bs. Giving loans to those that couldnt afford them was the underpinning. Repackaging them and using derivatives is another story. Your one sided slants are tiresome

"Always remember that when given overwhelming evidence of Russian tampering and zero evidence of voter fraud, Trump chose to investigate us".
