Trump Polls Higher?

Hopefully he will add some rhetoric thanking the impeachment gang for their assistance to his rally speeches. smile

I am just guessing here but it was probably the poll that Russ pulled out of his ass smile

The Post and ABC dont rank very well for unbiased polling historically.....538 or Gallop would carry a lot more weight. But at least you didnt pull it out of your ass lol

  Thank God we have Dimocrats here who are so creative that they can come up with such imaginative thoughts.  One would think a person would have to travel to a donkey farm to find an individual with such originality and imagination that he can copy nearly verbatim, another person's postings, but hey he exists right here on this forum!   

Thanks for taking up my light work again Rich.....I was out of alphabet soup at the time thus unable to complete my normal process for replying to these trump haters. ie Eat a bowl of it and shit a better argument than they make.

PVC2000 Paracorr question

Posted By Greg Shaffer

The correct part # is PCV2000 not PVC2000

It is the visual type I paracorr which is no longer sold if I am not mistaken

Pretty sure it did come with a 1.25 adapter.....

Breaking News: The Hit!

Posted By Greg Shaffer

For those of you posting about the Iran attack and complaining that our “idiot president did something stupid and started a war” I want you to remove your biased feelings towards the President and educate yourself on what happened. General Suleimani was actively leading an attack on the US embassy and was planning to kill US service members and diplomats in Iraq and throughout the region. Trump stepped in and took him out, to send a message that Americans will not tolerate this behavior.

For those calling it a “terrorist attack” on Trumps part, I’d like to remind you what happened in Benghazi, the US lost four men in a similar attack & our previous Administration wouldn’t even call it a terrorist attack against our own people, then tried to cover it all up.

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about “they may have to bring back the draft, and i’m not fighting for this president” and that really shows your character, it’s not a president you’d be fighting for... its other Americans who these terrorist are actively killing you’d be fighting for! It seems to me, that many people would rather be left alone to play their video games, and trash the president rather than defend the ones keeping us safe.

I don't agree with every single thing Trump does, but this one I do! If you are killing and attacking Americans, you deserve the same fate as General Suleimani!

It saddens me as a citizen in this country, to see more Americans displaying their hatred for the President, so much so, that it exceeds their love and respect for the American Soldiers & their hatred for terrorists.
