Democrats must be VERY forgetful

I voted for McCain and damned few kept their pro McCain promises made to me when he ran for president.

Happened during Bush 43. Told me they did not like Bush 43 and wanted McCain as president. Lied like dogs. When democrats pretend to like McCain, I call out their lies.

When Republicans turn on their own, I call out their lies. You were all about McCain and Bush until Trump told you they were bad. In 5 years, most of you will be denying that you ever supported him at all.
 
Supposing Trump becomes King? This is what I would expect from him. Fence on the US Border, completed.
Each citizen gets a $2,000 amount added to their bank, like we bot the last check.

I enjoy getting money from the Feds, don't you?

I do not know why our immigration laws need changing given they are Democrats own laws but if this has to be done. Fix it so it stops illegals from immigrating here.

King Trump could do that.

Well, has nothing to do with what I said, but you are finally admitting what you actually want and that you've abandoned our nation's ideals to crown your false idol.

That is as dumb as were I to declare you want Nazis over all of us.

A. Trump is not my idol.
B. Biden is the cult leader.
C. I don't post to make you happy.
D. I am still happy our nation has had Trump. Trump did a lot of good.

yeah, the multiple farm bailouts from failed trade wars, the Covid epidemic with zero actual response, the cratered economy, the calling for violence to keep him in power, the cozying up to commie leaders, etc. has really done "a lot of good".

Farm bailouts to help the farmers, and the trade wars did in fact bring a reticent China to the table, after finally being called out on their continual intellectual theft (some of which being revealed from now from multiple universities).

There was a COVID response, just the Democrats and the media (same thing really) chose to condemn them. Forgotten the Chinese travel ban already?
And there were multiple responses equally, and wrongly, criticized. So you assertion of 'zero actual response' is not in alignment with already well known facts.

'calling for violence to keep him in power' you are going to have to cite this one, please.

'cozying up to commie leaders' ? Maybe some buttering up to get what he wants, what would be in the best interests of the nation, OK. Your problem with this?

All in all it's better to not let the lamestream media, i.e. DNC political propaganda arm, do you thinking for you.

In a minute here, DNC will be pushing for idiotic 'wokeness' in government (already started a number of years back) and the lamestream media has already been demanding idiotic 'wokeness' for a number of years already.

If you need an example of how far idiotic wokness has already infected the government bureaucracy, please answer how these 'woke' policies help the military be better prepared for their missions, rather than being, what it is, overt ideological political indoctrination.

If you need another example of idiotic wokness already infecting government bureaucracy, please explain why the CDC has recently tried to prioritize distribution of COVID vaccine based on race, rather than on priority and need?

Why I'm Losing Trust in the Institutions
The CDC came scarily close to adopting a plan that would, according to its own models, have killed thousands of Americans.
Yascha Mounk

The first is that we should avoid “leveling down” everyone’s quality of life for the purpose of achieving equality. It is unjust when some people have plenty of food while others are starving. But alleviating that inequality by making sure that an even greater number of people starve is clearly wrong. The second is that we should not use ascriptive characteristics like race or ethnicity to allocate medical resources. To save one patient rather than another based on the color of their skin rightly strikes most philosophers—and most Americans—as barbaric. The Centers for Disease Control have just thrown both of these principles overboard in the name of social justice.

In one of the most shocking moral misjudgments by a public body I have ever seen, the CDC invoked considerations of “social justice” to recommend providing vaccinations to essential workers before older Americans even though this would, according to its own models, lead to a much greater death toll. After a massive public outcry, the agency has adopted revised recommendations. But though these are a clear improvement, they still violate the two bedrock principles of allocative justice—and are likely to cause unnecessary suffering on a significant scale.
'Wokeness' is destroying the electorate's trust in US institutions and as a public policy inflicts more harm than good.

The push back against idiotic wokness brought Trump. It will bring only more pushing back from sentient people, if the left keeps pushing for it, and especially pushing for it to be enforced by the barrel of the government gun (again, already started).

Yeah that Chinese travel ban was the one thing he did. I'm not saying it was a bad idea, just saying that maybe he could have done more. It was bipolar - it's a hoax, it's serious, masks are bad, look at my mask, listen to Fauci, Fauci is evil....there was basically no policy except that one thing. Remember how he said he would get everybody the treatment he had? Did that happen?

A. Your posts show otherwise. You literally just said King Trump would have been good - in bolded letters
B. Which cult is that?
C. Good for you. Try posting something intelligent
D The best thing Trump did is expose that the Evangelical preachers are morally bankrupt.
 
So you say trump never denigrated the troops. He allegedly called them suckers and losers, but even if you don't believe that, he definitely called John McCain
a loser because he was captured, and continued saying crap about him even after he died. trump is human scum, and that is an insult to scum.
His kids weren't allowed to join the military (it has been alleged) or they risked being cut out of the will. It is absolutely believable that he has no real respect for the military. He panders to those who claim to have lots, but that is pretty much it.

Fauchi has been rather inconsistent in his recommendations. Trump echoing this, would make him appear the same.



"Remember how he said he would get everybody the treatment he had? Did that happen?"
On an 'as needed' on a medical basis. Friend of mine had a bad case of COVID and he received that same treatment, so I'd say 'yes' to this.

Nope.
I don;t follow those. I go to the source. Studies, economic reports, Trade experts. etc. oh and good old common sense.

The trump administration knew that China had a new virus and that it could become and epidemic in November of 2019:
The Trump administration knew that it was a deadly and dangerous virus.. and yet Trump downplayed it. In fact.. he is on record admitting how dangerous it was.. while telling the public that he had it all covered.
The administration was unprepared completely. The travel ban was a travesty. There was little to no coordination with the various agencies on it. And when Trump came out with the travel ban.. he included trade. Then he corrected himself in a TWEET.
The guy calls the experts on the virus : "MORONS"


Sorry man... but you have a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump has been completely inept with his handling of the virus.

I think government is fundamentally inept in nearly all cases, and typically dishonest. Case in point is the ginormous omnibus spending package with minuscule COVID relief re-branded as a COVID relief package to make it more palatable, somehow.

Ooooooo, China got "called out" on their intellectual theft. I'm sure glad we bankrupted farmers for that.

There was no coherent COVID response, Trump could only tweet things like "Liberate Michigan" and other inflamatory things instead of being and adult, coming up with a federal plan, and coordinating between States to better fight this crisis. He FAILED. No lie is going to keep that from being true.

Liberate Michigan, questing if the military might be needed to intercede in the election, etc. He's nothing but angry vitriol aimed to rile up the Cult and get them to arms.

Love letters to Kim Jung Un, drooling over Xi's power. Yeah, Trump loves the commies.

Its only dishonest because folks like yourself accept it as long as its someone you like. Trump lies on a daily basis now. And you not only accept it.. you vote for him.

No, I've already been against ginormous omnibus spending packages and wasteful government spending regardless of who has majority in which house.

Simply better to not call out China on their illegal abuses? Not use leverage that the US has? Not call out China on their espionage and influence campaigns? I really rather hardly think so.
 
Inaccurate.

Sure.. call them out. Don;t hurt the US economy with tariffs that simply mean american businesses and consumers pay more for goods. The tariff is being paid by american companies and consumers. Not by China.
Don;t hurt the US economy with tariffs that cause China to retaliate with tariffs that cause american agriculture to lose market share that they will probably never gain back as the chinese develop other sources for former american products.
The Trade war didn;t put any leverage on China.. it just hurt the US. But if gave the rubes who know nothing about trade ,tariffs or china.. to think Trump was "calling out China". So sad.
China laughed their head off at the US.
Instead.. the US could have exerted leverage through constraining how the chinese move money through US banks. OR by charging and prosecuting chinese companies or nationals here in the US for theft.. etc.

Seems the administration also did that, to an extent.
Sep 17, 2019 — The administration has moved to blacklist some Chinese firms, including the ... Chinese investment in the United States has plummeted in the last two years as ... Chinese Money in the U.S. Dries Up as Trade War Drags On.​
Or did the administration not do this?
Or is it the administration did do this, but it wasn't covered to any great extent in the media, rather chasing after yet another media generated fauxrage?

Admittedly, could have been more.

Should the administration have squeezed down on China, as you describe, just how many would have called it racist? Xenophobic? Illegal? etc. etc.
 
If any of yall that voted for Biden actually think that Biden will serve out his term, youve drunk enough kool aid to actually get drunk.
Harris will become President at some point. The only question at all is how itll be done. Sickness or scandal. No baggage? Bidens got enough of both in spades, just been kept quiet better than Clinton.
 
True.

Well.. lets see.. its late in his presidency that the administration is attempting this.
While his trade war and tariffs do nothing but hurt the US economy.


How many would have called it racist? No one.

From you OWN ARTICLE:

Concerns about China’s rise have been bipartisan, and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, called on the Federal Communications Commission this week to consider whether two major Chinese telecommunications companies should be barred from operating in the United States.

I don't see how that effect, that you highlighted there, is going to be supported by a US president who's basically been bought and paid for by the Chinese. 🤷‍♂️
Millions of dollars kinda have that effect.
