.... it's frightening...but NOT unbelievable. LOL I slipped tonight and got into a 45 minute shoutfest with a relative(Trump's support in the black community is a minority but at between 10% - 30% among black men depending on where you live it is not invisible) after 3 years of peace. Fell into it the most unexpected way... watched the end of a Wesley Snipes pic and commented that it would be interesting to see if he could be successfully paired again with Woody Harrelson in a movie after his tax troubles. I commented that room flam men, sometimes of a right wing extremist bent, often target black churchgoers, public workers, and actors/athletes with phony info about the tax code being unconstitutional so you don't have to pay taxes. His response was that taxes are unconstitutional and illegal but you have to pay them or the IRS puts you in jail. I responded that Congress has the authority to levy taxes according to the Constitution he said they were too damned high which is unconstitutional...this led to

-New York State shouldn't have open primaries
-Franklin Graham has never praised Vladimir Putin
-He no longer believed that Trump was a Clinton plant, found it "deplorable" that Trump accused Cruz's dad of involvement in the
Kennedy assassination but felt that Jesus had worked a change in Trumps perspective and that's why he was doing so many good
things restoring the economy, appointing incompetent conservative judges, moving the embassy to Jerusalem attacking Iran(some back and forth on dear rev. hagee) not giving into political correctness
- after being accused of trusting liberal sources like Vox, The Atlantic, Mother Jones and the crying Rachel Maddow ..I asked him why
Trump hadn't appointed Mark Levin to AG or the Supreme Court.. he said Levin would reject a government job
- of course locking up people at the border and stopping immigration to stop the librulls from throwing open the doors... couldn't quite
get around the advocacy for cheap labor in Texas and Missouri where the chicken plant with hundreds of illegal workers had not led
the justice department or the Missouri AG to arrest or prosecute the owners...at this point I was accused of merely arguing on facts

..anyway... not good to hear Dems bickering. I hope the primaries are decisive and get us all on the same page! Won't last another Trump term all this America stuff!!
