Sen. Joe Manchin has some stern advice for President Trump: Grow up!

Recommended Posts

Trump is Trump, and he's immature, but Manchin is wrong.

We were dividing well before even Obama.  The watering hole is perceived to be shrinking.  America's hollowed out, and our printing $ for consumers to spend into oblivion isn't hiding the problem any longer.  The world debt is staggering.  World competition is ever increasing.  Technology.  Outsourcing.  The Elites seem to be taking all that they can before a coming collapse.  The uniting culture's gone.  Identity politics, politicization, and victimhood (SJWs) are terrible for a Country such as ours at this time.  Americans no longer fit into as narrow a band as they used to concerning the common good, beliefs, God, aims, manners, civility, etc.  In 1992, Arthur Schlesinger wrote The Disuniting of America.  He's a 2-time Pulitzer-winning historian who taught at Harvard, and was a close JFK advisor.  He thought that the good Liberal professors would take back the better schools from the radicalized professors, and return education to normalcy.  It never happened--it got drastically worse.  And now everything is politicized, while the Establishment takes us closer to a NWO.

and ding-a-lings try to put this all on Trump.  Wish it were so; then, the fix would be simple.

and you don't see Trump pouring gas on the fire day after day??...isn't his job is to unite the country??... and he hasn't tried to do that at all since taking office....his State of the Union address was a campaign rally for his base...he makes his living dividing and concurring IMO…."the fix would be simple"??....I wish that were true!

We are almost always divided.  But usually those out of power don’t act like demented fools.  That is what is different now.

and usually those in power reach out to the minority to make Washington work...that is what is different now. Why won't Moscow Mitch send Trump the bi-partisan bill to lower prescription drugs that he asked for and is sitting on Mitch's desk??

Havent we been divided since the beginning of the country??

There’s a real truth here that more people should remember.  

Even before Washington took the reins there were real divisions about what the country would look like.  Hell over 600,000 Americans died as a result of the logical and sadly inevitable extension of those early divisions.  

Things seem bad now because of the power of social media to amplify the voices of the worst among us, but it’s nowhere near as bad now as it was then.  Most Americans go to work, raise their families, pay their taxes, and go about their lives.  We have more important things to do than be twitter warriors.

Exactly. 

Think about it. Even when washington was fighting for our freedom from a tyrannical government there were many people here in the colonies that favored the crown and fought against washington.

Than less than a 100 years after that we were a divided country over the states rights of slavery. And how certain states should be slave state or free state.

Than 100 years after that we were divided over vietnam 

Than now 60 years later we are divided over everything. We actually have people in this country that are helping illegals including military personnel. We have people that dont even want us to have borders anymore. The division has always been there. The questions is how wide will it get

and you don't see Trump pouring gas on the fire day after day??...YES HE DOES

isn't his job is to unite the country??... YES, BUT HE'S NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO (AND THAT WAS INTENTIONAL), AND THE PEOPLE WITH REAL $ INVESTED OR POWER DON'T WANT HIS TYPE OR BERNIE'S TYPE OF UNITING.  THOSE TWO AREN'T GLOBALISTS, THEY DON'T LIKE THE OFF-SHORING, THEY LIKE MANUFACTURING MORE, ETC.  THEY DIFFER A LOT SOCIALLY THOUGH

and he hasn't tried to do that at all since taking office....SEE ABOVE

his State of the Union address was a campaign rally for his base...he makes his living dividing and concurring IMO…."YES, LIKE CALLING PEOPLE DEPLORABLE LIKE HILLARY.  LIKE DON LEMON'S PERFORMANCE.  ETC.  WHAT'S HE'S UP AGAINST IS UNPRECEDENTED, AND STARTED ASAP AND HASN'T ENDED.  IT IS A DISGRACE, IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW FOOLISH HE IS

the fix would be simple"??....IT IS SIMPLE TO THOSE ON THIS BOARD (NOT TO ME)--JUST GET RID OF TRUMP BECAUSE THINGS WERE CLOSE TO PERFECT W/O HIM), AND ALL THAT I POST ABOUT AND ALL THAT THOSE HERE COMPLAIN ABOUT WILL DISAPPEAR OVER TIME.  WE JUST NEED A UNITER.  LOL

******

We're fighting over Globalism and over changing our culture.  They're no compromise on these issues, largely because we're not allowed to discuss them.  Conservatives have finally said enough.  You can't fight with Yale and Evergreen students, LGBTQs, radicals, etc.
