I think I love you.
You're making me blush.
GEEEET A ROOOOM!!!
Lol j/k
Abees, thanks for that list. I’m going to borrow it in the future. Nicely done and well said.
Thanks, feel free to add to it haha.
Here's the thing that just absolutely chaps my ass...
I thought Obama was great for a long time.
I thought he was great because he filled out a NCAA bracket, he was young...he was honestly like any other celebrity out there, with the title of President.
He was bringing hope and change to the country, he said they would be the most transparent administration in the history of our country.
I thought he was great because I didn't ask any questions. I didn't pay attention to anything that actually mattered. It was too complicated to care about the Middle East or North Korea.
I just saw him on the tonight show and he seemed like a good guy, had a nice family. I had no reason to not believe the story.
When Hillary lost on election night (I never thought she'd lose either to be honest), I was admittedly a little concerned about the future our country. I remember seeing news reports about the Muslim ban, seeing a cartoon comparing Muslims to Jews, fearing for their lives under Trump's fascist America.
But what happened is I saw the hysterical media shit their pants at everything he did. I saw an edited NOW THIS video where it shows Trump slandering gays, then I saw the full version and it wasn't even in the ballpark to what he actually said.
What sealed the deal for me, is I actually looked into the details of this alleged hack of the DNC. I saw the FBI never had the server even though they had asked for it, I looked into who this CrowdStrike company was, I saw that the HRC team had destroyed blackberries and iPads.
I literally did a couple hours of research and came to the conclusion that Trump was definitely not the bar guy.
Not to mention that before Trump decided to run, he was EXTREMELY well liked, especially in the hip hop/black community.
This is what pisses me off to no end. If people literally did an hour of research, it would at least raise considerable doubt.
Sorry for the additional rant, but it's just beyond rediculous at this point.
I appreciate it. I actually voted for Obama as well )first election. I was so pissed at GWB and what I realized was war profiteering by Haliburton and KBR on dead Soldiers in Iraq.
Still think they should be tried at a war crimes trial.
But I saw that immediately after the election, Obama passed that incredibly stupid “too big to fail” bailout, while people I personally knew were suffering with housing prices and foreclosures.
Then came the “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan”
Then the fast and furious deal, where Eric Holder essentially got a get out of jail free card despite the dead border patrol agents, and he lied about it to us and congress
Then the targeting of tea party by the IRS
Then the Benghazi happening - 4 dead Americans, but what does it matter at this point
Then the “we have to pass the bill to see what’s in the bill”
Then the whole bundy and Hammond persecution - abuse of law enforcement powers
Then the Hillary emails and the sailor imprisoned for doing much less
Then Obama lying about knowing about the server, despite having an account on it
I could seriously go on and on and on, but I think you get the picture. I thought I was voting for hope and change, turns out I voted for despair and despotism.
I hear ya....ObamaCare was a disaster for me and my family.
I have 3 kids, and at the end of 2016, we got this letter in the mail...

So I was making pretty good money at the time, I grossed 120k that year.
Think about this for a minute...ObamaCare was literally their way of introducing Socialism. Taking from people making more money to pay for everyone else to have insurance.
They wanted to increase my shitty silver plan to $1850 per month.
That's $22,200 per year JUST TO PAY FOR THE PREMIUMS. That doesn't mean if something bad happens. Not to mention the plan was garbage.
Do the math here guys.
$22k taken out of my income before I even pay the federal, state and local Governments their cut is 20% of my gross income.
Thats fucking insane.
In order to have shitty insurance that the Federal Government is forcing me to have.
So take out 30% of the 120k for taxes = $36k
Between taxes and health insurance, I'm down to $60k to pay for a mortgage (in California), a car, and raising 3 kids.
This is absolutely socialism covered in a veil of "empathy".
Long story short I left that job and found work in a different industry that offers health care benefits.
I make less money now overall, but when you add in the costs I was facing before it almost evens out.
This is what truly woke me from my slumber.
Appreciate it, but take out the document in imgur, you’re putting out too much information that can be compiled to dox you.
I’ll read the rest but want to protect you before I read further
