Hate to break it to you, but if the PC police was the biggest worry in your life then you have it way too easy in life.

Y'all actually watch that crap?
South Park switched from using single episode storylines to going with a season long story. You would have to go back to last season and have watched every episode just to have kept up. I haven't watched SP since then due to that.

How is it cowardly to worry about an egotistical maniac who habitually offends groups of people for a hobby and has plans to ruin our economy by starting tarrif wars with our biggest trade partners?
Not worrying and pretending that everything is going to be ok is very alarming. Now is not the time to pop Xanax.

That hasn't effected me (and I suspect most) in any way, other than to provide amusement. I get reports from the front line from my son at Cal, and it DOES effect him. But he's managing just fine. WTH is the POTUS supposed to do about those nimrods?

Not encourage them for starters.

Because one man can't ruin an entire country. The founding fathers made sure of that.

Sure we do. We got a guy who is woefully out of touch and uneducated about the world he lives in. For example, one of his first big policy pushes is his transportation plan in which he wants to pay for infrastructure by privatizing all the new construction.

Huzzah! MORE TOLL ROADS!!! That's exactly what the working man wants!

They also never anticipated a person winning the Presidency who knows frick all about the world around him.
You can say I'm being an alarmist wuss all you want but go ahead and bookmark this.
Trump is going to frick up bigly and you will eventually feel like a complete fool for supporting him.

Not a big deal at all. Thats what most countries and a lot of states are already doing. It keeps costs down.

Why are you so sure this is true?

Better question is what makes you sure this isn't true? He's managed to piss off Mexico, China, and NATO Allies. Yet surprisingly, he has been unofficially endorsed by Russia and North Korea.

I'm sure it's true b/c I've listened to him speak enough at this point to make an educated determination.
As for toll roads, sorry but they are a straight scam. You get sold that it's to pay the cost to build and maintain infrastructure when instead they turn into a never ending daily tax for Joe Shmoe to get to work even though they tend to pay for themselves many times over. Infrastructure as a for profit venture is just plain wrong.
Again, that's just a minor thing but it's an example of where his head is at and it's not with all those blue collar folks who think he is somehow going to make everything peachy keen for them.

Their reason behind the continued toll is for maintenance needed after completion and road service that is provided for stranded motorists. Because these roads are private, they aren't serviced by the Texas Roadside Assistance program and can't be fixed by tax dollars. So collecting tolls on roads that have been paid off is warranted in a sneaky way.
But I will say that my main gripe with Toll roads is eminent domain. I don't like it. If they are going to take land from private citizens, then some of the profit should be shared with the original landowners until the road is no longer tolled. I know it's never going to happen as excess money today is used to fix other roads in the county (or in TxTag's case, the state).

I guess you paid attention at Trump university
. A ton load of crap gets built by cheap labor and lax environmental regulations that will never be available in the U.S. For starters, where is the computer/tablet/phone that you are using to check this website built? Want to guess how much it would cost to build that same device in California???
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Your ignorance in NATO is a bit worrisome to be honest.

The US pays for 73% of military expenditures for NATO.
According to a NATO report, the majority of their members fail to meet NATO's guidelines for defense.

But do you know what the entire purpose of NATO even is? Please educate yourself about the overall goal of NATO and what it's true purpose in this world is.
Next election, do yourself a favor and look up all the issues the candidates are running on instead of believeing them and shouting "TRUMP!" or "MAGA". Just because he continuously says "Believe me folks" doesn't mean you should.
