Current America status: Great or not great?

The economy is turned back on, the jobs are already coming back, illegal immigration is down, and NASA is going to put a man on Mars. The lizard race is out of office and we have a human back in power. Truly wonderful times we're in.

it's slowly getting better, but the cyber is still failing badly due to obama. i hear they hacked the hospitals and took ransom. that's very unsettling, Kushner should be fired and everything obama did on cyber should be reversed.

Let me tell you, the hospitals. They said- wow- the cybers. You ever think of that? Bad stuff. Very bad stuff. The doctors- the doctors- they were like "donald, we need computers". I said no. No way Jose, you're going to go with coconuts and bamboo. If the professor-a very good friend of mine I might add- could build a radio out of wood and coconuts, you can build a computer.

“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem? So you have to ask yourself, what’s going on, because I don’t get it. I don’t understand it.”

Master oration from Obama. Are we sure Trump is that dumb in comparison.

...you know those are quotes from Michelle, and not Barack, right? I'm just asking because you seem to be comparing somebody who was voted into the highest office in the nation to somebody who wasn't voted in to any office anywhere. And it's still a more favorable comparison to the person you quoted, and not the person you're comparing her to.

It's most important to first rigidly define the teams so our rivalry can be a simple black and white decision

"The Right" - people trained by Fox News to despise everyone else

"The Left" - everyone else

For almost all of Fox News' airtime and various other super-right-wing outlets, you will hear "the left" "the looney left" "liberals :argh:" no less than every 3 minutes. Find corresponding presentation anywhere else in the news world, if you can. Even Democracy Now/Amy Goodman isn't that vitriolic for the full run of every show and it's just an hour out of the day, little of the programming around it is in the same tone.

A lady I know on Facebook(lol) constantly posts stuff from articles written by Mr. Angry Patriot or something, and rants about how "The Left" is trying to destroy America. I don't mean making bad decisions that lead to America being ruined, I mean that they think "LIBERALSSS" are praying to Atheist Allah to destroy the American infidels. It's kind of weird.

Why have you "othered" me? I've not expressed anything about what I believe, other than I maybe don't think the right is simply comprised of people who watch Fox News and yet you've lumped me in to some weird group that is responsible for everything that is wrong in the world, kinda like a weird obsessed Baptist pointing fingers at the people who weren't in church on Sunday.
