Politics Thread

There is absolutely nothing you could say to a Democrat to make them change how they feel about Trump. Before the virus wrecked the world, our economy was booming, record low unemployment (Black unemployment, Hispanic unemployment), etc. They won't give Trump credit for anything. He's been tougher on China than Obama was. He's stood up for religious freedom, freedom of speech, 2nd amendment, the sanctity of life, etc.

The Libs were in the fetal position when Trump got elected, shouting about how Trump would lead us into WWIII. He just brokered one of the biggest Middle East peace deals in many, many years, but the media won't report on that. The agreement is only the third time Israel has won recognition from one of the twenty-two Arab states. But people like AOC and many other Dems support the BDS movement against Israel, one of our biggest allies.

When it comes to racism today, we're told if you're silent, you're part of the problem, yet Catholics continually vote for Democrats who support Planned Parenthood (which affects Black lives more than any other race), and support abortions at all costs. I guess silence is violence in that instance.

Have fun supporting the Party that wants to defund the police. Guess who that will affect the most? Black lives in major cities controlled by Democrats. Since George Floyd's death, not one protester has been killed by the police. Guess how many people have been killed by the anarchists and other protesters?

It's going to be glorious when Trump is elected in November.

And yet you have no problem with his multiple wives, paying off porn stars and playmates and his overall treatment of anyone he dislikes.
And no problem with him and the Republicans trying to make our most basic right of voting more difficult.
Interesting.

Paul, if you go down this road, then you cannot possibly support Harris on the ticket.

Same deal with Iran. From the JCPOA, we essentially got this;


Just as important, they allowed inspectors on the ground to verify. All Europe nuclear powers were on board.
Now that's gone. The only reason I can see is that Obama signed it, and Trump is set on undoing anything Obama did.

I'm not sure we are better off, or that the mid-east is safer as a result.

Iraq was a disaster. Bush F’d up.

Iran in the 80s is not what Iran is today. TRUSTING this version of Iran’s regime is not a good idea, IMHO.

Please deny the fact that trump lies every day. He believes the lies and gets his supporters like you to believe them. He is a pathological liar. FACT: He lies about everything everyday. Every speech is full of lies. How can you support a pathological liar? Really would like to know. And forget the usual refrain "all politicians lie". NOBODY lies like our President. Such a role model for kids.

And you still have no problem supporting baby killing democrats, politicians that hate our biggest Mideast ally, want our cities to continue descending into chaos while defunding the police, and want to stifle any and all speech on college campuses and in public (or just conservative speech).

You'll gladly vote for Biden, who picked Kamala Harris, a woman who is anti-Catholic, as his running mate. I mean, just look at the way she treated Brian Buescher during his 2018 confirmation to serve as a district judge in Nebraska.

You want to talk about liars? Biden has been a serial plagiarizer his entire career. He had to drop out of the Democratic primaries in 1987 because of it. He has lied about his education. He has lied about being a part of the Civil Rights Movement.

He thinks of himself as an "average Joe", but he shows contempt to the real average Joe. He called a man at a campaign stop in Iowa "fat, old, and a damn liar". He called a college student in New Hampshire a "lying dog-faced pony soldier", and told a factory worker in Detroit he was "full of shit" when he started asking Biden about gun rights.

Biden hasn't had to face an honest press since the 80's. Trump stands in front of a hostile press and engages them.

100 percent agree. I remember Trump saying once how if elected, he was going to go in to Washington and “drain the swamp”. I really believed him at the time feeling that career politicians McConnell, Pelosi, etc. have hurt our democracy. However, his four years have been anything but draining the swamp. In my opinion, the swamp has gotten bigger and more dangerous.

I don’t think he expected the swamp to fight back as much as it has. Having spent some time auditing a federal government purchasing group, it became painfully obvious that rule #1 was protect the bureaucracy.

Voting has never been more easy. You can vote in person for weeks leading up to an election. You can vote by absentee ballot. But God forbid the Republican party thinks that maybe mail in voting, ballot harvesting, and sending out ballots to non-updated voter registration lists are bad ideas. Every other civilized country requires some type of ID or way to verify who they are, but somehow that is racist.
