I don't know why there isn't more collective outrage from the Catholic community and the church. I don't why the WH isn't being picketed right now. Where's a resolution from congress condemning what he did?

A trade deficit isn't a subsidy, Donnie.  You have goods and services in hand in exchange for the $200 billion.  

The N. American AutoPact and subsequent treaties are decades old - the cars are made in the USA, Canada and Mexico.  By a treaty that has benefitted all three countries.

God, you're so fucking stupid, Donnie.

He was so bent on putting me down to make himself feel superior that he could not come to recognize my achievement.

I referred to him as the clueless idiot after that and I was not proven wrong.

Trump haters will not ever acknowledge ANY achievement from his policies no matter the significance (shutting down border as an example) and distort anything to twist the truth to make him look like a loser.

They will bend themselves into pretzels to justify criticism (bring back gang member for due process when Jan 6 accused citizens sat in solitary confinement awaiting due process).

He won the election because of that so get used to the Trump supporters supporting his agenda.

But you won't stop and I know my father didn't and he left this world without a single friend mourning him.

Yeah, there's just so much to admire about the man.  Convicted felon, sex offender, pathological liar, a record of fraud longer than your arm, bankruptcy after bankruptcy, barred from doing business in the state of New York, spray tan. Am I missing anything?  Oh wait - daddy issues. Sound familiar?

I did a bunch of research a few years back when Richard posted that J6 defendants were being held in solitary without due process, specifically before they were even arraigned.   I documented that this was a complete fabrication, not on Richard's part, but by others whom Richard believed.

It is not legitimately arguable that the J6 defendants were denied due process.  I think it is arguable some J6 defendants were over sentenced in view of the nature of their relatively minor crimes.   The pardons moot that point of course.   I think it is also entirely true there were pardoned J6 defendants who really ought to still be in jail for a very long time.   The Oath Keepers who illegally moved weapons into a VA hotel room prior to the rally, for example.

Last point, I am not sure who is bending themselves into pretzels to demand due process for the alleged gang members.   Everyone is entitled to an appropriate level due process - murderers, gangsters, rapists, the whole lot.  There are no pretzels to be bent - due process is not negotiable, and it is not optional.  We posted quite a bit about this a few weeks ago.  Due process for everyone, including criminal illegal immigrants, is such a fundamental feature of a free society that I am truly dismayed to hear the government and it's supporters attack the courts who are defending due process rights, and questioning whether or not due process has been observed in the more notorious cases.

In any case, I am glad Trump has closed the border.  I am not pleased with his economic policy.  Not at all.  I have always liked Rubio, and hope he can score some foreign policy wins before Trump burns him out or jettisons him for "stealing the limelight" or most likely before Trump cans him for insufficient loyalty.
