I get that you’re conservative but months ago you struck me as someone who was clear-eyed about him and no MAGA. But now you seem like you’re married to them like so many other right- wingers I know. Too bad. Nothing I said is incorrect: polling indicates the country agrees with me. Sorry to sadden you. I voted for DeSantis and against every MAGA candidate in the past two AZ primaries. You and I see threats to democracy in different places. You see it in Trump's bloviations, despite a 4 year track record of mostly good performance. I see it in the erosion of our culture, through the increasing progressive destruction of the family. I see it in moral relativism that allows Hamas to be not totally evil. I see it in a horde of people coming through open borders. I see it in talks of removing the filibuster to increase the number of SCOTUS judges and steamroll through any hairbrained progressive idea (Medicare for all, tax money to trans illegal aliens, forced gun confiscation to name a few). I see it through a mainstream media, once our Fourth Estate, which has become a lap dog to the Democratic party. You may recall in the past that the MSM partiality against Trump and for anything Left was always a soapbox of mine. I think what pushed me over the edge for Trump, though, was the lawfare we've seen in the past year, particularly the Merchan case. I can't help it that you don't see a problem with MacGyvering together a "felony" for an 8 yr old payoff to a pron star against the Republican candidate for POTUS. I can, however, laugh at your concern that Trump is going to throw opponents in jail, when, and read this really slowly: your party has been trying to do exactly that to Trump for years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What foreign affairs can he handle? Making out with Putin in secret rooms and sending ""love letters" Kim Jong Un ? Sound's like a Austin Powers movie.

jerryskids 6,166 Posted September 10 2 hours ago, Mike Honcho said: All of those are a continuation of the previous 4 years of the Dem administration. Go back and look at the numbers, they were all trending that way from the Obama days and he didn't do anything to help or improve it. I(along with many economists) would argue the opposite, his corporate tax cuts didn't spur new economic growth, but more wealth accumulation by the people at the top. You are giving him a lot of credit for riding the momentum of the previous administration. Also that's a big "except", because him and his administrations response to that is enough to not deserve a second term. My point was that we know what a Trump admin will be like, we lived through it, and it was pretty good. But to your comments: If he didn't fix something that wasn't broken, that's a good thing. Most economists who took a macroeconomic class know that corporate tax cuts spur growth. And we saw growth. But... ...I've always hated the following position by the Left: "sure, the poor did better, but the rich did MORE better, so that's bad! Inequality!" Really? Everyone benefits, but the people who actually made shiot happen benefitted more, and this is a bad thing? If you don't see why this is NOT a bad thing, I don't know that I can explain it. My "except" was on abortion, is that your point? If so, Trump's position is that it is a state issue, and not for the feds to create a national law. That alone is enough to not deserve a second term?

I don't really feel the need to blame Trump for the pandemic. My first inclination isn't to blame leaders for super serious things as those things usually have been simmering for years prior to them boiling over. I don't blame Bush for 9/11 and think people who do are dumb. That being said, in 2018 there were complaints over a Trump led decision to curb our Pandemic Response chain of command. Did Trump do that simply because of it being a bit of an Obama pet project? Was he playing Party politics in that one? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were hardly any American soldiers death during either, because we were not at war. There were a few dozen during both terms. But Biden fought proxy wars, so he is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of our allied troops who died fighting our war. A half of trillion dollars and a half a million lives flushed down the toilet to prop up some puppet dictatorship which we installed. There is no righteousness in that war. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His first admin was staffed by "RINOs" that had some semblance of respect for political norms and the law. These people kept him from carrying out his worst whims, like shooting protestors or sending troops into the sovereign nation of Mexico. His own VP prevented him from a creating a constitutional (and national) crisis on J6. His every move since then has been made with removing "obstacles" to his agenda in mind. Hence schedule F, as an example. His next administration (god forbid) will be nothing but a naked power grab. He can't run again (yet), so he is less beholden than ever to his constituency, he's old AF, and he has absolutely no reason to not indulge in his very worst instincts. He is surrounded by sycophants that are all there because of their loyalty, not their expertise. SCOTUS is running interference for him already. He wants to demolish the presidential "hands off" doctrine toward the DOJ. Now, I realize that YOU think that has already happened, but there is at least some gray area there. Where is the gray area in his statements regarding jailing his opponents? 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
