.” curious and gossip-hungry Americans” this is a Major problem
Dec 10, 2018, 8:31 AM

with this country. We feed off of other people’s lives and their misery. Regardless of the fact of if it is true or untrue. We are drawn into news related to sex, affairs with politicians, any kind of scandle regardless of the facts. In today’s society a rumor is a good as a true fact. Any juicy gossip or rumors are soaked up likes sponge by many people. Globe, The Enquirer, Star Magazine or other junk media like this fly off the shelves with mostly rumors, innuendos and flat out lies. President Trump has been attacked for having an extramarital affairs with former SC Governor Nikki Haley. Another rumor or innuendo or just a lie to ruin Nikki Haley’s career and to damage the credibility of President Trump.
So called author Michael Wolff believes it’s true so he put in his book of garbage as truth based on his assumptions. Many people choose to believe it because it’s in print. If many would do their research they will find a lot of garbage printed in or stated by the media is speculation with no solid evidence. Bill Clinton has been screwing everybody but his wife but he is still held in high esteem by most democrats. I never see anything attacking his character.
But from the day President Trump was elected there are those who are trying to bring him down. In my lifetime no other President has been attacked more the current sitting President Trump. We as American Citizens should be embarrassed by the actions of the media and of several prominent people or politicians.
You would think South Carolinan’s would consider this a slap in the face to the people of SC and to our state. But I have read very little calling out Michael Wolff or others who slander our state.
We have let the minority groups take control of the direction of this nation. They are trying to take everyone down with their socialist liberal agenda.
God no longer matters in America. He is an after thought until something like 9/11 happens. Then we call on him for help and healing. Do you think he hears the prays of such a sinful nation? I doubt it. He has not turned his back on our country, the country has turned its back on him!
American Citizens are no longer innocent until proven guilty. If the media prints it then it must be true and that person is guilty even before a trial. Illegal immigrants seem to have more right than American Citizens.
The quote at the beginning of my post was from The Washington Post!
I don’t know about others but I am ready for major change in this country. I would like to see God take priority over all else. Then let’s just see what happens.

There is a Court of Law and there is the Court of Public Opinion. The Court of Public Opinion is around 60% disapproval of Trump at this point. Trump will have his day in the Court of Law, but based on last week, I'd say that day is getting closer and it doesn't look good for Individual #1.

Unfortunately I believe that to. But we never know God plans for our lives or our country so I refuse to give hope for a better future and a better world until Christ returns.

It appears so but imo, the universe has a way of rewarding good decisions and behavior. The Bible says, '...reap what you sow...'
It's a fundamental economic principle.

No one cares about God anymore so let's get back to putting God first and MAGA with Trump.
Also something about a book. You lost me somewhere between tabloids and Michael Wolff.

Michael Wolff wrote a tell all book about President Trumps White House involving innuendos about an affair with Nikki Haley. I believe the book is Titled Fire and Fury.
My main point was how Americans are starved for juicy scandals, gossip and rumors. TheStar, Globe Magazine and The Enquirer will anything without a proven source. And they fly off the shelves of every grocery store or location that sales them.
Have I cleared it up for you?

ourselves credit for.
All of this being said, I have found in life the worst people are generally the ones who by all appearances are saints on Earth who do no wrong, say everything you want to hear, and are widely praised.
Most people who are open and honest enough to admit fault, speak their minds without remorse, and are open are the people who are generally "good" people. Evil lurks in those who appear perfect.
That is why I tend to dislike all politicians. The audacity of one man to tell me he's going to make my life better being President....that's a man I can't trust. A politician who says it's my job to make my life better, and not his, that's a man I can trust. There's been one President in my lifetime to fit the bill of a good man. And it isn't Trump.

I don't know if you were even working 10 years ago, but if you were, look at what your health insurance was vs now, and compare the coverage.

I was in california in 2008, and I had employer coverage for about 7k a year and was one of the best plans on the market out there. When I moved to new Hampshire in 2014, my coverage was about 3700 a year and had zero deductible(heck I even screen capped the plan from the state exchange website because you were calling em a liar). In NC it was 7k with a large deductible. Here in Florida my insurance costs 4500 for a great plan with no deductible direct from Blue cross. So no, the only changes I have noticed is that it costs differing amounts depending on your state, and can even cost you more depending on your county.
quadruple sounds suspect.

Not sure what to tell you. In 2009 my insurance was $55/pay period with a out of pocket max of $1500 and now its close to $200/pay period for a HD plan, with an out of pocket max at $5k.

My opinion is the worst human being to occupy the office, he brings a lot of that on himself.
His comments about McCain were a slap in the face to all POWs. He called a deputy in FLORIDA a coward. He made fun of the looks of other candidates wives in the primary. Just yesterday he said his former SEC. of State was dumb as a rock.
He's just a terrible no class individual.

With a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, a life time of service to Country who led the FBI for Bush after 9-11.
The POTUS and many supporters have a incredibly selective and grossly distorted view of patriotism and honorable service.

He is such hero. Think of all he has been through to achieve so much all while having bone spurs. Anyway, cropping out his spurs is like not showing FDR in his wheel chair in paintings.

Trump is a charlatan. He deserves everything that happens to him and more. Use a better example. That said, aside from him, there is some truth to what you write....a little.
