It's local politicians that we need to hold accountable for their despicable actions. Even Rickets - as much as he's been less awful than other governors - still shut down some businesses, and has done nothing to fight the "mask mandate" in Lincoln, despite his claims that he would.
It's local and state officials we need to be concerned about, rather than whomever is "El Presidente". So long as we appoint good local leaders, then the national politics won't be as abrasive.

I have no disdain for President Trump. I voted for him back in 2016, I no longer vote due to some personal convictions I now have. Yet, I believe he did really well for the economy, especially small businesses. I remember under Obama paying what quite a few people make in a year in business tax. Under Trump paid the business paid nothing! I believe its because of his insight and his background that we have seen (pre-wuhan virus) such a boost in the economy compared to well my entire working life. I mean in my trade (HVAC) it was name your price for several years, what we were making on change outs and installs we have never made that. Yet, with any politician you take the good with the bad. Like you and I and most likely many others his New York Mafia style charisma needs some softening, yet, like Ron said nobody’s perfect.
The reason why I mock Trump and play the opposite of the field with some on here, its because I’m witnessing a love affair going on with this President. It’s like the United Republican Pentecostals Incorporated made this man Moses or something. I’m hearing and seeing believers, lose faith because he will more than likely not be in the Oval Office in a month and a half. I see others post about if you vote democrat you’re not a believer, meanwhile casting their vote for Trump. I asked this individual if because they voted for Trump, if there now accepting adultery???
Maybe some of you older ones can tell me a time when the church has been this involved in politics? Or maybe when has the church been affected this much in politics?
In conclusion, JITO463, I do not HATE Trump, I believe he did well for what he gave and what he had to work with. However, I have a disdain for believers who have a wanton spirit towards this man.
