They Can't Let Him Back In

Well, he did bill himself as the "King of Debt"...

Source
For some reason you and the rest of the cultists always believe what you are told ignoring actual verifiable results that the following supports

Love him or hate him, during Trump’s presidency, the economy was strong, markets were up, inflation was under control, gas prices were low, illegal border crossings were down, crime was lower, trade deals were renegotiated, ISIS was defeated, NATO allies were stepping up, and China was stepping back (a little). Deny all that if you want to. The point here is that something like 100 million Americans believe it, strongly, and are bewildered and angered by elite hatred for the man they think delivered it.
 
Always knew that and also know what Biden has done with a Democrat Congress, the same as Obama and we all pay for it

Again, rhetoric that belongs on a FoxNews show intro.
 
LOL, for someone who supports a party who claims they want to help others you show that liberal compassion, how are hourly workers and fixed income seniors doing with this inflation and supply chain issues? You think Biden's spending didn't impact inflation? You truly are economics challenged
Can you name one example of how Biden’s policies have personally impacted you? You’ve been asked numerous times and failed to give even a single example to support your narrative. You truly are economics challenged.
 
No idea.
I saw at a brief glance that at least 50% of the bullshit in that article was a combo of well-crafted disinformation, and hyperbole.
Untangling it all is not worth my time.
That became particularly evident when baked into the rationale is the idea that Democrats cheated and that's why the results went the way they did. There's only so many ways people like the author can tap dance around the fact that more voter participation is not a good thing for the GOP, which is something the party should work on versus trying to make it harder to vote.
 
Of course, I do not know.

But the Dems have control of all the levers of government (not to mention the media), so "they" will come up with something.
And while "they" "come up with something", Trump will continue to plan his campaign knowing there is little chance he will end up in jail.
It is amazing how many people engage in wishful thinking anxious to see Trump indicted for something, ANYTHING! so they can feel something is being done to punish their favorite bogeyman. It will be like watching the new Game of Thrones series on HBO where the brother of the king is the new villain and we have to wait forever to find out if he is punished and murdered.

As for Dems having control of all the levers of Government, if they don't do something before November, they will be looking at the House under GOP control ready to launch investigations into a number of areas designed to make the Dems look worse than they already do.

Absolutely, the Biden stimulus on top of a returning job market and recovering economy led to the inflation we had in 2021 which was the foundation for 2022. You going to explain to us how feelings fund your personal responsibility issues? It is amazing how people like you buy rhetoric, ignore policies and results. Don't understand how anyone can claim they are better off today than when Trump was in office 2017-2019
 
the Afghanistan fiasco!
Do you know how much money Biden has saved American taxpayers by ending the Afghanistan conflict when he did? Do the math. The Afghanistan conflict ended 297 days ago. It cost us 300 million a day to stay there. So Biden has saved the American taxpayer $89,100,000,000 so far. This is an undisputable fact. Now the Jethro's may comment.

Consider the indisputable fact disputed.

Wonder how much those

Amazing how loyal the left is buying rhetoric and ignoring results. Trump negotiated the withdrawal in February 2020 but the left ignores that just like they ignored that Bagram Base was irresponsibly closed. Who do you think those families of the 13 American service personnel that were killed blames. It is stunning how the ignores reality.

Your comment, like your logic, is left uncompleted.

Your comments are all empty rhetoric, no substance.

Donald negotiated, then screwed the pooch and neglected to follow through. Biden followed through.

Who do you think those families of the 13 American service personnel that were killed blames. It is stunning how the ignores reality.
You need to think about how many more would of lost their lives had we stayed. We'll never know because Biden got us out..... Unlike your demigod.
 



This is what good, hard working, honest Americans are facing in today's world. There is no way to have a civil conversation or discussion with someone on the left so biased, so partisan and so much in need of a gov't destroying the private sector, totally ignoring the 2017-2019 results due to economic policies
It isn't about Trump. Well, not exactly about Trump. Trump was merely the figure that those of us who were opposed to the ever increasing, every more oppressive establishment political state elected. Personally, I didn't think he'd be as effective as he was but it was EXACTLY that effectiveness that so enraged the establishment and those that kneel in fealty to the establishment.

Being anti-Trump is less about Trump and more about HATING the very concept of individualism. Those that oppose Trump also oppose individual effort in economic endeavors. They oppose individual thought when it fails to align with the communal agenda as expressed by the establishment. They oppose state independence and oppose the very concept of a union of individual states because they believe that governance should happen from the top down and that the people, because they are irredeemable, MUST be ruled with a strong hand.

Yes and these same people are the ones who claim they support democracy and go ballistic when the SC turns things like abortion and marriage over to the states which are the true democracies elected by popular vote. You won't find any liberal discussing that issue or answering that post about states' rights and responsibilities. Too many liberals need the nanny state as a parent and we all know that the liberal elites want to be that parent buying votes so no one every bites the hand that feeds them

That's what direct democracy is all about. The entire concept of direct democracy is that the majority get to determine the fate of the minority and, since the majority holds the power, the minority MUST submit to the will of the majority.
 
Sounds like your hair is on fire because Biden has been accomplishing so many positive things for America and now you feel the need to ... really say nothing concrete at all.

Really?

Infrastructure bill. Got the country finally out of Afghanistan. Unemployment rates at the lowest level in generations. I could go on, but you will ignore it because you are forbidden by the cult for giving Biden credit for anything good.

Stupid comment of the day. Being pro-trump means being pro narcissistic, obstinate self-serving bullies who claim to empty the swamp but who, instead, fill the swamp with the worst batch of self-serving felons ever accumulated by a single president.

This is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard in my life.

Because here's the thing.

When I have actually pressed any of you, especially those that cling to the electoral college, what the actual virtue is of having a minority of Americans decide who will lead the nation, what is the actual value of it, you don't really have anything beyond vague philosophical grandstanding and founding father worship nonsense in response.

And while the Supreme Court picks of Trump go ahead and smash things like a womens right to choose to pieces, you may not want to get on a too high horse about "they just hate Trump because of individualism" because I'm not really feeling that vibe from the people who support Trump.

You may now return to being a victim on his behalf.

Not in the liberal world where a democracy is only when the majority vote the way the left wants like in California and NY. Why anyone would want their state to be like California or NY with the high taxes and cost of livign is beyond comprehension.

The minority doesn't "decide" anything. They merely get a say in the matter and their interests get taken into consideration.

As far as the electoral college goes, let's talk about direct democracy. We had 50 states vote for president. In 2016, unless I miscounted, 29 of them voted Republican. Why, if you REALLY believe in direct democracy, should the other 21 have been allowed to choose a president? You know what I said about liberals HATING the very concept of a union of states? Your questions is a prime example of that hatred. You want the majority of people to decide things and just can't stand the idea that under our system it's the states that decided who is president and that the number of people in those states merely weights one a little differently than another. The electoral college actually gives everyone a say and if we didn't have that then we'd still have slavery in this nation because 160 years ago THAT is what the majority of people wanted.

Wow... Just all the bullshit rolled into one there.

But no actual virtue of allowing the minority to pick a President who was absolute shite.

At the end of the day I Get it, this is about Rurality vs. Urban.

At the end of the day, that is the true source of discontent in the United States because you don't want those liberal city slickers deciding the future.

But that doesn't add any actual weight to your argument of why a system that lets a minority of Americans rather than a majority pick the leader that has such a vast influence on events over everyone, there is no actual philosophical argument as to why that is a better system.

None whatsoever, its arbitrary and it simply has benefited you (well it hasn't benefited you, if you're not a billionaire, voting for Republicans is an act of lunacy) but has allowed at least two Presidents to win you probably supported that most people didn't want.

You foreigners are quite a bunch supporting a democracy but only on issues that you support then crying to the courts when states vote against those issues. Liberals have no credibility just like most foreigners here who have understanding of basic civics, economics, or the electoral process. States are democracies so don't cry to us when the majority in those states vote down abortions, or same sex marriage, or whatever minimum wage you want to propose. Always cry to judges throwing temper tantrums when the democracy doesn't go your way

And this response, like the one before, belies an utter hatred of the principles upon which this nation was founded. Actually, it goes farther than that to express a hatred of everything "rural". That in and of itself shows your disdain for anyone and everyone that thinks differently than you do, has different life interests than you do and, frankly, chooses to life their lives differently than you do. You're all about mandating some bullshit homogeneous culture that celebrates "urban values" while subjugating everyone "rural" to the tyranny of the elite class you envision. I pray that at some point in your life you can see the utter evil of that way of thinking and seek redemption.
