I am not a complete ass, or so I think, so I will avoid offensive hyperbole whenever possible. Correct my grammar beeches. Hello. I thought about disabling smilies but it seems that the world has enough disabling occurring currently, so I opted to keep smilies able, for now.
Since this is an introduction I will also let you know that my favoritest band ever in the entirety of my time as a human here on urth is Failure. So, you see, the failuretocomply has multitudes, at least two that you know of if you have read this, of meanings. Partial reveal complete, I don't know wtf I am doing here.
Thank You

I don’t mind Trump’s tightening the borders (as I said). And deporting those with a criminal record, fine.

I think “woke” went too far. 

I don’t think transgender athletes belong in competitive sports if their gender at birth might give them some advantage at a certain age.

I think affirmative action and DEI went over the top in many respects.

And, I don’t mind an “America First” ideology provided it actually benefits us globally.

And certainly I agree with reducing “waste, fraud and abuse” in the government.

These are all reasonable things and I agree with them all. I think any rational American would.

I missed this. Why WOULDN’T u take this opportunity to support Trump if you do as opposed to just checking out/avoiding? I’m willing (and in fact somewhat eager) to hear what people like (or don’t like) about him.

It’s a part of the conversation that this country needs to have. I honestly want to hear what he’s doing that people support.

I’ve said elsewhere I don’t disagree with every idea he’s had (like tightening borders), but then he (IMO) takes a decent idea and runs it off a cliff.
