Jesus Christ what’s the matter with you! I didn’t think id see the same type of insulting children here as on reddit. What ever happened to civil discourse?

If the media simply reported on Trump’s policy discussions factually, everyone would have seen this coming, to add to your point.

The feds are not representing us. No taxation without representation

Which is funny because there were a lot of undocumented immigrants in many of the evangelical churches I played music in
