Anyone else a devote anti-Trumpist who has had it with lib BS too?

Except Biden sux at his job despite being a racist

Despite? That's a hood slip. Wardrobe malfunction.

 

[element94]

This just means it's time to look at the Trump administration for its results rather than its titular leader.

And they were horrendous.

 

[ecofarm]

"Dear Abby,

I hate Trumpers but I like racism. What's a left leaning fan of racism to do?"

 

[less right]

So Democrats put them up and now Democrats want to take them down in shame. Makes sense to me.

Why do Republicans want to keep them up? To shine a light on Democrat's shame or because they agree with the Democrats that put them up? Make sense of that.

 

[Jay59]

it's funny isn't it? Southern Democrats (conservatives) fought to put them up and Northern Democrats (liberals) now want them removed. it's almost like there was a shift or something.

Boys start smoking when they are 14 to prove they are a man, then try to quit as 40 to prove the same thing.

What did the Trump Administration do except a tax cut that went mostly to the wealthy?

That's not one of the things the Trump administration did. The tax cut went mostly to the middle class and the accompanying tax reform made US firms more competitive on the world market. Coupled with over a dozen new trade agreements, exports increased significantly.

Other things include record low unemployment, the first real wage growth in a generation, producing the COVID vaccine, energy independence, cutting off illegal immigration at the Mexican border, reducing regulations, improving bureaucratic response times, restocking the federal bench, and a list of foreign policy achievements highlighted by the Abrahamic Accords. It was a very successful term.

I could go on about all of the problems they created with our allies and around the world

Foreign policy was an achievement. The administration defeated ISIS, thwarted Putin in Syria, cornered Iran, brokered the Abrahamic Accords, improved relations with Israel and exposed China as a global aggressor. The frank America-First approach was well received. Foreign governments always assumed it was true and previous Presidents were being disingenuous.

but the real test came with the Covid pandemic which they failed.

They did not fail. Federal responsibility was supportive and proactive. Travel from China was halted in January, long before the scope of the problem was known. The task force, chaired by the VP was established early in February, emergency powers were used to produce gloves, masks, respirators, and the vaccine. Contrary to most reporting, the COVIDresponse at the federal level was good. Several of the states, notably in the NE, were less good. Florida is the example of how it should have been done.

And do not say they had anything to do with the vaccine as the research for that had been going on for twenty years and according to the person who developed it took three days to do so from past research.

Of course, they had something to do with the vaccine. In May of 2020, it was still being reported that the vaccine could not be available until late 2021, if not 2022, assuming a rush was put on development. Trump provided funding and removed administrative blocks to produce it a full year ahead of best-case estimates.

You have been drinking the Kool-Aid. It's time to leave the cult and see the world for yourself.

Why do Republicans want to keep them up? To shine a light on Democrat's shame or because they agree with the Democrats that put them up? Make sense of that.

I'm having trouble making sense of your question.

Republicans don't want new Jim Crow laws. That's just Democrats projecting their own issues.

 

[element94]

It's called the passage of time. It's about growing and changing, not being stuck in the past.

 

[RAMOSS]

For example, I am as pissed about all the statues being removed as I am about Trump being incapable of speaking the truth.

I am done with, "the white man always goes last" policies from the left.

I am sick of BLM madness.

How about you?

That list says a lot.

That list says a lot.

"1. Removing Confederate monuments from town squares upsets me as much as anything Trump does.
2. White people need to be prioritized. It's time for "White First".
3. I hate BLM."


Yeah, not a lot of grey area there.

Despite? That's a hood slip. Wardrobe malfunction.

You do realize what despite means right? I'm beginning t think maybe you don't

Biden being a racist has no impact on his job performance according to leftist. He gets a pass. Embrace the compassion

Yet black people thought he was less racist than Donald Trump. Imagine that.

I'm going to take as you meant being a racist is usually a good thing.

How cowardly. The sentence contained a previous negative, not a positive.

What you did is clear.

 

[VySky]

I'm going to take as you meant being a racist is usually a good thing.

Of course you are. Because that is how the left operates. They scream racism to the point its the tree that fell in the forest

 

[ecofarm]

Every racist claims that. Every last one of them.

I agree.

Link? Or is that speculation?

Argument from ignorance. Of course.

Yeeaaah, I still say I'm right though.

 

[ecofarm]

How come every time someone is caught saying something overtly racist, they get all "but the left!!11!!"

Because that's the excuse.

 

[Juks]

Except Biden sux at his job despite being a racist

Please clarify. Are you saying that being a racist is a good attribute?

 

[VySky]

Please clarify. Are you saying that being a racist is a good attribute?

Good enough for Biden to be elected evidently. Did he turn a new leaf like Sen Byrd?

 

[Sand Castle]

I love when Trumper's use the "but Covid" excuse like it wasn't the cult leaders horrible rhetoric about the virus that made it worse than it should have been.

Isn't that what POTUS is there for, to handle crisis in US.

Although, Trump didn't get the memo, he thought he was there to:

Line his pockets through govt use of his properties

Golf a lot

Divide our country

Nepotism, placing his unqualified kids in positions they don't belong

Push a tax code advantages to himself

Oh did I say golf

He also thought POTUS offered him an open forum to lie daily

I don't know about you but I have never celebrated a statue in my life.

Isn't a statue more a recognition of history or religion? Artistically recalled.

Heck, it's rare I even know who the statue in the park is of. To me it's just art.

It's insane to destroy beautiful spaces, historic reliefs. Of course al qaeda destroyed historical sites. I guess each sociaty has it;'s share of culturally void people.

Those Statues were not put there for you. That is your problem. Do some research and learn about who erected the Statues and the long dead men they depict. That is what learning about history is about.

“Eventually they started to build [Confederate] monuments,” he says. “The vast majority of them were built between the 1890s and 1950s, which matches up exactly with the era of Jim Crow segregation.” According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s research, the biggest spike was between 1900 and the 1920s.
In contrast to the earlier memorials that mourned dead soldiers, these monuments tended to glorify leaders of the Confederacy like General Robert E. Lee, former President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis and General “Thomas Stonewall” Jackson.

“All of those monuments were there to teach values to people,” Elliott says. “That’s why they put them in the city squares. That’s why they put them in front of state buildings.” Many earlier memorials had instead been placed in cemeteries.
The values these monuments stood for, he says, included a “glorification of the cause of the Civil War.”
White women were instrumental in raising funds to build these Confederate monuments. The United Daughters of the Confederacy, founded in the 1890s, was probably the most important and influential group, Elliott says.
In fact, the group was responsible for creating what is basically the Mount Rushmore of the Confederacy: a gigantic stone carving of Davis, Lee and Jackson in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Its production began in the 1910s, and it was completed in the 1960s.

That is also why so many of them were of poor quality. The companies that made them had generic , poorly made statues that were slightly modified.
