Time to change this blog's title. It certainly is not Salisbury News anymore. Where's the Demarisais news?
ReplyDeleteYou do realize the president signs bills produced by congress right. Most of these are not injtiatives that trump championed. He simply stamped. Prime example: wilderness funding. Trump was against it. This was championed by a GOP congressman along with none other than John Lewis. By the time it hit Trumps desk it was claer he had no choice politically but to sign. In addition, there are other initiatives that have long been on the table where suddenly Trump and Co are for so they can get a win, but these issues were DOA prior. Corruption at its best.
ReplyDeleteI called it just as I knew I would. Outside the dnc convention in wilmington the Trump supporters outnumbered the biden supporters 100 to 1. Not one bit of trouble. Last night in Charlotte the democrats outside went as they always do without fail full primal mode and started to destroy.
ReplyDeleteThis is why biden campaign only allowed a few cars into watch fireworks at the dnc convention close. Even they know democrats have issues when it comes to acting like human beings and can't be in large groups because they are ALL inherently very violent homicidal wastes of air who WILL destroy.
WRONG 8:55. The President wasn't against wilderness funding. FYI- It was Lara Trump who lobbied for it. To educate you further this admin has done more for animals then anyone else. Maybe more then all the others combined. And you can Thank Lara and the Trump admin. She lobbied for so many changes to not only USDA policies and other agencies to protect not only wild life but companion animals.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with you people is the MSM tells you something which more often then not are lies and instead of looking into yourself you run with it. do your own research instead of repeating "what you heard." Doing that only makes you look stupid and the liars that you people are. Dont' ever again think you can come on here with your lies. do you understand? You will be slapped back down into the toilet from which you emerged to try and spread your lies from.
You are wrong 8:55. Even the left wing media has accused President Trump and his admin of "cozing up to the HSUS" for ever reason who knows. Democrats are supposed to be for animal rights, right? I guess if good things are happening for animals due to President Trump then it's not good to democrats? Right? Look up PAWS act and PACT. These are just a fraction of what the admin has done for animals of all kinds.
ReplyDelete8:55 you confirmed it.
ReplyDeletethere are other initiatives that have long been on the table
But Trump is the one to get them done.
That is an amazing list of accomplishments for a 1st time politician.
Thank you President Trump The peoples President!
Included in the "peaceful" protests outside of the RNC convention were BLM yelling F*** Your Jesus. Such nice people support BLM. I've noticed locally many who self profess to be Christians support BLM. Yes they do. They claim to be Christians but live their lives like God doesn't have eyes. Would Jesus want you to stand behind a group that says F*** Your Jesus? It's no wonder black youth are murdering each other at an alarming rate. Most blacks stand for nothing including what they claim is their faith Shame on them Shame Shame Shame!
