They'll hate him more for his tax on Irish whiskey than for any foreign policy fuckup.

Besides, he's been ditching our allies as long as he's been president. If he didn't lose them already, this is unlikely to change anything. It's just the latest event in a clear pattern of behavior.

About what really happened. And blame Hillary and Obama.


Fox is pure hateful propaganda and none of us should tolerate seeing it on Tv without asking people to turn it off.

Trump retroactively cut the taxes of disability payments to vets. They like him.

But even that won’t save him from their scorn in this.

If they are loyalists, then nothing will change their minds. Nothing! That transcends politics.

They will be more likely to overlook things and even go down with their Captain. If they get a hit from his actions and policies, its a worthy sacrifice to make.

When you hear and see that kind of behavior, you are dealing with a loyalist. Expect nothing from them.

Years ago, one of them said, "We tend to do better (cash benefits) under (Repukes)" - which is *not* so, but it's about cash.
