Yeah, it annoys me how often people can't see what's really there because of "team" politics.

I have a good friend, and older gentleman, who asked me to go to a real estate course with him. He bought tickets while he was at the Freedom Tour with Donald Trump, Jr., and Dinesh DeSouza, etc. He asked me to go with him, since I do commercial real estate. I figured it would be about the trends in the Jacksonville market. It wasn't. It's basically a scam to dupe old retirees out of their money. I picked up on it like 15 minutes into the class. I stayed to the end of the day out of respect, but I told him on the way home what I thought it was and how they were using people with large 401k's to fund their ventures. He agreed that I was probably right, but wanted to go back. The ONLY reason (and trust me, I know this dude), he went back is because these people were affiliated with Trump. The guy worships Trump. I can't, for the life of me, understand why people can become so enamored by an individual. If any other group charged him 100 bucks to then try to borrow his money at a risk free, super low interest rate, he would be irate. Truth be told, I'm still kicking myself for failing to call them out, but I didn't to spare my friend the embarrassment. If I had been there alone, I would have called them out without prejudice.

People need to wake up to the predators who have leached onto our politicians and use their influence to gobble up our money. It's not left. It's not right. I am only conservative because, after extensive reading, their form of government is the most sound. That's it. After we move past that piece, we need to realize that our only team is the Constitution and the people standing next to us.
