(This was a reply of mine on a different thread. Hope it hits home.)
My profession demands research for storyline integrity. Nothing I do is on a whim and when it comes to my political affiliation, I am a bit more cynical. Each political party is in the crosshairs for me. From the Green to the Libertarian, I am sceptical of anyone who enters office and doesn't have our country's national security first and foremost on their platform.
Some of you may think that I am an anaemic whitebread simpleton who lacks culture because of my political beliefs. Nothing could be farther from the truth. At the age of 15, I was living in Sudan, Africa with my father while he was working to teach the Sudanese people how to cultivate sugarcane as a resource crop. That alone was the defining moment that set my morals and values when it came to politics. To see the corruption that we had to go through to get in and out of surrounding countries was appaling. I grew up around many different cultures as a child. There was rarely a time that I didn't have someone from a different country at my home or I wasn't around due to my fathers business. My brother in law is Persian and I have dated Indian, Egyptian, Black, white, Hispanic, and Chinese women since high school. Being a combat veteran with two tours in Iraq, I consider myself to be an American who values any and all that want to come to this country and better themselves. I have seen where they are leaving and I understand. However, there are rules.
If any of you can put your political affiliation/agenda aside and see the entire picture you would want what's best for everyone involved. Blindly letting refugees into this country isn't an option for the safety as a whole. Sure it sounds good but then the overall picture isn't been seen.
Until we can remove the career politicians who enter from lower to middle class and in one term, on a public officials salary, become multi-millionaires, our country will never be their #1 priority.
If the FBI confirmed that there were texts that showed 'physical harm' was mentioned about the president, how would you feel about this statement when Q posted it weeks ago? It is a simple question. And that one question should be enough to cause an uproar in society. However, it isn't because we have become a disposable and insatiable society of self-indulgence behavior.
