Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that. ↗

And the thing was, it was a monument to me. ↗

Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government, some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos. ↗

Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make. ↗
