Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
Trump is trying to bribe people into voting for his party, with a promise of $5000,
while Mike Johnson is spending his time discussing how to steal democracy.
They could accept that they fucked up too much and that the American people are fed-up with them, but they know that they are all traitors and fear that accountability is coming,
so they will try to commit some more treason, to stay in power.
How much do you need to gaslight yourself, to believe that you're the good guys?
For decades, the only thing they have done is murder people, give your money to
the wealthy and distract you with culture war bullshit. When do realize you are conned?
No matter how bad it gets to outsiders, we are still better off that if socialism-communism takes over,and that is the alternative. You don't seem to realize that. Since when did either of those 2 systems do anything but keep the people as pompers and all but slaves like china,and so forth.
I'm not talking about a socialism-communism takeover.
You are in the complete OPPOSITE situation.
It's like you are eating nothing but meat and then you are saying:
"You cannot survive on just vegetables, so don't bother me doctor!".
China isn't socialist or communist, it is state-capitalist.
You keep misusing the term 'socialism' the same way lying governments do.
The word "socialist" contains the root word "social" (from the Latin socialis,
meaning "companion" or "ally") for a very specific reason: it was invented to be
the direct polar opposite of individualism. It means an economic system based on cooperation, mutual aid, and direct worker self-management. There is no cooperation, mutual aid, and direct worker self-management in China, they have state-control.
By doing that, you are lying to yourself. You are using the lie that they use to sell you rugged individualism for the working class and state sponsorship of the wealthy,
turning you into the slaves that you say you don't want the people to be.
I think you have lost the plot here- so obsessed with our politics. Guess what- Not single American cares about your politics in Europe! Get back on your meds whacko
Illegals cannot vote. People like you espousing Great Replacement Theory is exactly why I take an interest, because you're repeating 1930s Germany's politics.
Did Trump get much? Maybe not, but china and russia will not be able to use greenland for military purpose. so our country is a bit safer now for the future.
Negotiations, you ask for more than you are will to accept so you can settle for what you wanted in the first place.
So very true.. But the economy is only bad because of the MESS that Sleepy Joe left. Autopen destroyed a lot of things under his fake presidency WE have to be involved with other countries.. unless we want China to take over the rest of the world..
Explain what mess Biden left, and why Trump hasn't been able to fix it yet,
while he controls the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court.
Trump left Joe with a pandemic; ~400,000 US deaths and people distrusting the solution, 6.4% unemployment, a $3.13 trillion Federal deficit, a ~100% of GDP Federal debt held
by the public and a major recession (−3.5% of GDP).
What is it you are trying to blab about now.. for Jesus's sake.. Joe Biden cheated in the election.. the whole world knows that. WHen someone takes a shit on the floor is someone else supposed to clean it.. He took a pile of shit on the floor at the vatican.. The pope was going crazy. He was still shitting in his pants on the way to the airplane. A long trail of fresh shit.
The right thing to do is to make a statement then you take the facts and connect the dots. You just posting bullshit links of fake news proves nothing at all. So I call this bullshit.. Get your facts by connecting the dots of things already proven.. NOT FAKE NEWS.... Do you really think I'm as stupid as you?
Joe Biden cheated in the election? TRUMP was in charge!
The whole world saw Trump goof off, Americans didn't like it either,
all the polls showed that he was going to lose the election, and then he did.
A year of investigations and NOTHING to show for it.
You have NOTHING but lies and bullshit.
Meanwhile, Republicans are already trying to steal the election in Texas,
in a brazen way, like they ALWAYS do.
1. Mid-Cycle Gerrymandering
Redrawing congressional districts before the normal redistricting cycle to lock in more Republican seats.
2. Restricting Mail Voting
Making absentee voting harder through tighter eligibility and identification requirements.
3. Imposing Proof-of-Citizenship Barriers
Requiring documentary proof of citizenship that could prevent otherwise eligible voters from registering.
4. Aggressive Voter-Roll Purges
Using voter-roll reviews and removals that critics say risk sweeping up eligible voters.
Important qualification: Texas's 1.2 million “suspense voters” have not actually been disenfranchised; they can generally still vote after confirming their address.
5. Closing Polling Places
Eliminating dozens of Election Day polling sites, potentially increasing travel and wait times.
6. Restricting Where and When Texans Vote
Moving toward precinct-based, single-day voting and limiting flexible voting options.
7. Encouraging Voter Challenges
Supporting efforts to challenge voters' eligibility, potentially intimidating or deterring legitimate voters.
9. Weaponizing “Election Integrity” Investigations
Using allegations of voter fraud and noncitizen voting to justify investigations and tighter voting restrictions.
10. Closing Republican Primaries
Trying to restrict Republican primaries to formally registered Republicans, changing who can influence GOP nominees.
11. Undermining Confidence in Election Results
Promoting fraud narratives and election challenges that can create grounds to dispute unfavorable results

CHEATING!!! And no investigations needed, because it's on their OWN platforms.
You are a complete numbskull and unable to make a decent point, ever.
The topic was "the economy is only bad because of the MESS that Sleepy Joe left".
He had nothing but a claim and you had nothing either. Only bullshit.
You couldn't even bring yourself to say: "But the DOW...". NOTHING!!!
Do I need to make your points FOR YOU?! IT'S EMBARRASSING!!
You cheat too.. You make comments and propaganda without looking at the other side. They cheated because they know they can't win straight up. Independent voters will not vote for them. Therefore they force open borders bringing in undocumented votes. China wants this so they send 3 million votes.. This is the only thing that keeps them in power. They have no plans other than to stay in power then increase taxes including gas prices in blue states that rip off the americans and giving the
lout to the illegals forcing them to vote to the left. The rest is to dilute Trumps popular approval.
So my question is to you, sir,,,,Name one thing the radicql left has done for america in order to make it a better country?
Well with all this aside, why is it that I have read 2 different articles about how the dems are already working on impeachment plans IF they win back a majority this fall? I will tell you why, Because the dems do not give a fiddlers damn about this country and are more interested in harming Trump in any shape or fashion they can.Even if it shoves the country off a cliff. this is the part folks like Ananas don't want to acknowledge.
IF the dems went into office next january and actually started FIXING problems, they could earn the respect and votes of the people.
At least 1 dem did vote to keep the supreme court the same instead of letting the dems stack it in their favor.
Just as soon as they take over the house they will go right into impeachment. Not because trump did anything wrong but it gives them political power. What is stupid is they are 0 for 4 tries. They know they can't impeach and remove him but it to them creates downplays his perfomance by lying.
Yes, and so they should, because Trump and his cronies are traitors to the Constitution. They are exactly what the impeachment process is designed for.
Under the Constitution, a president can be impeached for:
1. Abuse of power (occurred several times)
2. Corruption (occurred several times)
3. Obstruction of justice and Congress (occurred several times)
4. Defying the courts (occurred several times)
5. Political retaliation (occurred several times)
6. Election interference (occurred several times)
7. Personal gain (occurred/occurring continuously)
8. Undermining the Constitution (occurred several times)
9. Mishandling of classified documents and national security secrets (occurred several times)
10. Violating the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses (occurred/occurring continuously)
11. Systematic financial and business fraud (occurred/occurring continuously)
12. Severe personal misconduct and defamation (occurred several times)
13. Treason* (no other president of the United States has come as close to meeting the legal definition of a domestic insurrection through his actions)
*Note on Treason: Treason strictly requires either aiding a foreign power during an open military conflict, or actively waging an armed insurrection against the United States. In the criminal indictments regarding January 6th, the Department of Justice chose to charge specific statutory crimes, such as obstruction of an official proceeding, rather than constitutional treason, due to the different evidentiary standards required by law.
The evidence is all transparently documented in courts across the US,
so you don't have to ask me for it.
If the other side has anything that makes sense, then you could maybe convince me of something. This MAGA regime doesn't make sense on anything; it's just a cult worshiping a very flawed and selfish individual.
Your side has not just lost independent voters, you're even losing life-long conservatives.
Undocumented immigrants cannot vote. Only naturalized US citizens can vote in federal, state, and generally local elections.
I do agree that the Democrats haven't shown a lot of plans the last decades. They were just managing the country. That's still better than destroying everything that matters. For plans that improve people's lives, you need progressives. FDR was a progressive; your side would call him a Communist Marxist today. He was so popular that your side needed to introduce term-limits to get rid of him, because he was overwhelmingly popular. This is the time that most Americans want back now. They have seen the absolute failure of your side, they have seen that corporate centrist Democrats are useless, so now those progressives and democratic socialists are winning almost everywhere. There is a wave coming that you cannot stop, because most Americans a sick and tired of being sick and tired. They want a government that works for them, instead for the wealthy.
Sure, everything on the list below would be called socialism, communism, Marxism or radical left by your side, it it was introduced today:
• Social Security — Gave elderly Americans, disabled workers, and survivors a basic financial safety net.
• Medicare — Ensured virtually every American over 65 has access to health insurance.
• Medicaid — Expanded health coverage for low-income Americans, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
• Civil Rights Act of 1964 — Outlawed racial discrimination in employment and public accommodations.
• Voting Rights Act of 1965 — Protected the right to vote against racial discrimination.
• Fair Housing Act — Outlawed discrimination in housing based on race and other protected characteristics.
• Desegregation — Used federal authority to dismantle government-enforced racial segregation.
• Equal Pay Act — Made paying workers differently solely because of sex unlawful.
• Americans with Disabilities Act — Protected Americans with disabilities from discrimination and required reasonable accessibility.
• Child-labor protections — Prevented children from being exploited in dangerous and abusive employment.
• Minimum wage — Established a nationwide wage floor for covered workers.
• Unemployment insurance — Provided temporary support to workers who lose their jobs.
• Workers’ compensation — Provided protection for workers injured on the job.
• Collective-bargaining rights — Protected workers’ ability to organize and negotiate with employers.
• GI Bill — Helped millions of veterans obtain education, homes, and economic opportunity.
• Rural electrification — Brought electricity to millions of rural Americans.
• New Deal infrastructure — Built roads, bridges, dams, schools, parks, and other infrastructure that served Americans for generations.
• FDIC — Protected Americans’ bank deposits and strengthened confidence in the banking system.
• Food and drug safety — Established stronger federal safeguards against dangerous food, medicines, and consumer products.
• Occupational safety standards — Established nationwide protections against dangerous workplace conditions.
• Clean Air Act — Dramatically reduced harmful air pollution.
• Clean Water Act — Established strong federal protections against water pollution.
• Environmental conservation — Preserved public lands, wildlife, forests, wetlands, and other natural resources.
• Superfund — Created a mechanism for cleaning up severely contaminated hazardous-waste sites.
• School nutrition programs — Helped ensure children receive nutritious meals regardless of family income.
• Head Start — Expanded early-childhood education and support for disadvantaged children.
• Veterans’ health care — Expanded federal medical services for American veterans.
• Consumer protection — Strengthened Americans’ protection against dangerous products and deceptive business practices.
• Nuclear arms control — Democratic administrations negotiated agreements that reduced the risk of nuclear conflict.
• Peace Corps — Created a long-running program of American volunteer service abroad.
• AmeriCorps — Created opportunities for Americans to serve their communities.
• Protection of interracial marriage — Federal constitutional protections ultimately eliminated state bans on interracial marriage.
• Protection of contraception access — Established constitutional protection for married couples’ access to contraception and later extended that protection.
• Marriage equality — Extended the legal right to marry to same-sex couples nationwide.
Now your turn; give me a list of things that Christian Nationalists, far-right conservatives or MAGA has done for America in order to make it a better country?
I am not christian. It all comes down to education and reasoning.
If you are a dope or illegal you will support democraps where they give you money which keeps them in power.
So let me ask you this. Are you a dope or illegal?. All of these are lies but let us go down if it is true.. The democraps party did at one time help americans. But at the time there was no radicals.. Which means you have not answered my question? Are you dumb and can't read or are you just plain stupid? Oh and by the way I am over 65 years old. Now I am making more than I did when shithead Biden cheated in the office.
Ananas, When you give people a safety net, they don't need to do for themselves,nor are they motivated to.
Social security is for people that work and pay into it or get hurt trying to work.yet to many folks get it that have never worked or worked very little.
As for illegals not being able to vote, legally no,they can't but they buy fake id's and vote. why do you think I had to make sure my dead mothers name was off the roster? because some damn illegal would buy the info on the dark web and vote in my mothers name.
The Dutch Socialist Party is one of the most democratic parties in my country. Only 2 other parties come close and they are both on the left.
The SP is highly democratic because political power is deliberately organized from the bottom up: members organize in local branches, directly control those branches, elect representatives to higher bodies, collectively control important national decisions, participate in choosing the leadership and retain mechanisms for holding both party officials and elected representatives accountable.
The Republican denied the existence of Project 2025, didn't give you any consistent program to vote on, but expected you to vote for them just because of partisanship. You had candidate Trump promising to fix every problem in the US directly in very short times, and as soon as he got elected not even trying to do any of it.
When you are an SP member, you are involved in writing the program.
Then the representatives will work tirelessly to get as much of it done.
If they don't do their best to do exactly that, they can be replaced with
someone who will, at the members demands. We don't need to wait
for the next primaries.
The difference; you are loyal to your party, my party is loyal to it's members.
I support them, because they represent me, not the other way around.
And my country is more democratic, because I can easily switch to any of the many others. You have only two damn awful and corrupt choices, that have been there for ever and collude together to keep out other parties. In 10 years, we gained 4 new national political parties that gained seats; FVD, Volt, BBB and BIJ1. The BBB was even in the last government coalition. It wasn't a success, but it is giving my people lots of democratic choices that you don't have.
The most popular senator in the US is Bernie Sanders.
There is an onslaught of socialist candidates winning elections.
In your country, people are now ready for socialism more than in my country.
Of course they see the failures of capitalism much more clearly.
The US is quickly turning into a dystopian hellhole.
Humanity evolved in groups, who worked together to thrive. We do that, because our young are the weakest of the whole animal kingdom. That's why it's our nature to care for each other. And because that's our nature, we became the dominant species on Earth. And you are now supporting to abandon our biggest strength. And the only reason you support that is the constant othering from your media and politicians, because that favors the wealthy. It's divide and conquer.
You are so confident that all illegals would surely vote for Democrats. Is that maybe because you understand that it takes decades of indoctrination to become stupid enough to vote for Republicans, and they didn't have that?
Christian Nationalists aren't Christians either, they are a political movement abusing religion for power and submission. There is nothing Christian about that.
You keep accusing me of lying, but you keep failing to show it.
FDR was MUCH more "radical" than the majority of the current Democrats. Most of them are centrist corporatists. They are about as right-wing now as Reagan was, and you can see it in their policy proposals. You ignore more of my questions than I ignore yours. I would, if it was in good faith and worth answering. Mostly they are not.
I can spit facts and evidence until hell freezes over.
It doesn't matter, because you will accuse me of lying anyway.
And then you just spit out nonsense without ANY facts or evidence.
You're either delusional or a troll.
Put some evidence towards those killed Jews.
"Leadership vs. Ruling is the same as Utpia vs. socialism."
That's just word salad. I guess, it must be delusional.
Rejecting Jews to be forced into the gas chamber by not letting them go through the port of entry.
The MS St. Louis (1939): The most famous incident involved the German ocean liner St. Louis carrying 937 Jewish passengers fleeing the Third Reich. After being turned away by Cuba, the ship approached the U.S. coast, but the Roosevelt administration refused to let them disembark. The ship returned to Europe; roughly 254 of those passengers ultimately died in the Holocaust.

No it is not word salad. Ruling is socialism, communism.. Democracy is leadership. The only ignorant troll here is you.
That's not the same as killing Jews. It's turning away refugees,
which is exactly what you want Trump to do. There are genocides and mass murders going on today too.
In Marxist theory, socialism is democratic worker control and ownership of the workplaces and means of production.
Communism is the ultimate, stateless, and classless society that emerges after socialism.
Democracy is any system of government where power is vested in the people and exercised by them either directly or through elected representatives.
Democracy under socialism is inherently different from capitalist democracy. Marxists argue that capitalist democracy is an illusion (bourgeois democracy) because wealth dictates political power. In contrast, democracy under socialism is envisioned as a radical, bottom-up system where the working-class majority rules society and democratically manages the economy.
In Marxist theory, a political state and its democratic systems (like voting, parliaments, or laws) only exist to manage conflict between different social classes. Because full communism is a classless society, the mechanisms of political rule become completely obsolete.Instead of a political democracy, society is organized through .the voluntary association of producers. Without a state or money, society relies on rotating administrative bodies to manage resources and plan production based directly on human need. Because automation and collective cooperation create an abundance of goods, survival is guaranteed. Individuals are completely free to pursue their creative potentials, erasing the distinction between the governors and the governed.
Personally, I think that communism is too complicated. I prefer socialism as
an end goal, but I would already be satisfied with a hybrid of capitalism and socialism, in which important public services are socialized, but luxury consumer goods would be produced and owned by private companies,
that are regulated and taxed enough to limit their power.
Its leadership vs. Ruling.. If you can't figure it out I can't help teach you..
Yeah it is the same. Just as guilty.. Who do you think funded Hitler's 3rd reich... No it wasnt Germany..Wasn't the Vatican or Russia.. It was the United states of America..Led by FDR.. When he sent the Jews to the gas chamber he knew what was going to happen.... You know what.. Just shut the fuck up already.
I understand the difference; leadership is about the capacity to change people's minds on influence, inspiration, and shared goals, whereas ruling relies on forcing your desires onto others and demanding obedience.
Have you seen Trump at work? HE DEMANDS OBEDIENCE.
Socialism and communism are derived from the words social and commune for a reason; because their core theory is built on collective ownership and cooperation, NOT a ruling class.
Why do I even try to talk some sense into a person who believes fringe conspiracy theories, historical revisionism, and factually upside-down claims? You are explicitly contradicting history, as it is recognized by allies and enemies alike.
There is a massive paper trail showing exactly how the Nazis funded their own regime, mostly through plundering occupied Europe and stealing the wealth of Jewish citizens. FDR didn’t run Germany, nor did he order the Holocaust. The US government actually fought a total war to destroy the Third Reich. Blaming the country that helped liberate the camps for building them ignores the real perpetrators: Hitler and the Nazi regime.
Over 400,000 American soldiers died fighting across Europe and the
Pacific to destroy fascism. American troops were the ones who liberated concentration camps like Buchenwald and Dachau. To claim that the US government and FDR actually ran the Third Reich and sent people to gas chambers completely spits on the sacrifice of those American veterans.
I'm accused of hating America a lot, but what you just said is worse than ANYTHING I have ever said.
To the others on this forum who usually back him up: if you stay silent on this, you are showing a complete lack of principle and intellectual courage.
Yes it is.. Thank God you don't live here.... Just stay there.. Do all retards in your contry,, Do they act like you or are they too complicated for you to understand?
So? Then I shouldn't care that a president who controls the largest military in the world is associating with self-professed NAZIs, white supremacists and holocaust deniers? That's not an argument, that's a dodge.
People on your side are singing a "Heil Hitler" song, from a guy who ran for president, and actually got 60,000 votes. The current president, said that he and Kanye West have been friends 'a long time'.
Don't forget:
Nick Fuentes (Mar-a-Lago dinner, 2022)
David Duke (2016 campaign endorsement controversy)
Tucker Carlson (Regarding the platforming of Nick Fuentes, 2025)
The Proud Boys ("Stand back and stand by" debate comment, 2020)
Charlottesville "Unite the Right" Marchers ("Very fine people on both sides" statement, 2017)
The worst antisemites, the people who are walking around
with shaved heads chanting "The Jews will not replace us!",
are voting for Republicans, not Democrats.
With so many outright Jew-haters on your side, you cannot claim neutrality while running interference for them.
You claim you are not left or right, but 'in the origin, the center.' That is
a convenient lie. We see it all over social media and online forums; everyone who brands themselves a 'centrist' magically ends up completely up Trump’s ass. You aggressively defend everything he does and attack everything a Democrat has ever done. That does not make you a centrist; it makes you a partisan who lacks the courage to own their label.
When I bring up documented history, you just claim I 'misunderstood.' Yet, when I press you for details, you never correct or clarify anything; you just repeat yourself. That failure to explain proves I understand
your position perfectly.
The worst antisemites, the people walking around with shaved heads chanting 'The Jews will not replace us,' are consistently voting for your candidates. If you truly stood in the 'center,' you would be just as repulsed by these associations as I am. Instead, you dodge, deflect,
and claim 'nobody is perfect,' which is disgusting; especially since you keep trying to brand me as an antisemite in multiple posts just to deflect from the literal neo-Nazis on your own side.
Aligning yourself with a movement that platforms Holocaust deniers is not a minor imperfection; it is a moral failure. If you want me to believe you are in the center, start acting like it, by holding Republicans accountable, instead of making excuses for the inexcusable.
Half, maybe 1/3 of what you just cited happened under 3 repub. Presidents. Ike, tricky dick and ford! Lbj, at the signing of the civil rights act! Robert byrd "how could you do this to us!" Lbj's response to byrd, "don't worry, we'll have these niggers voting democrat for the next 2 hundred years!" I watched that on live tv! They put forrest gump in that scene, and took out what lbj said to byrd! Facts! Now STFU!
Not true. I posted a list of 34 items.
Single Democratic president/authority: 23
Single Republican president/authority: 5
Multiple presidents / non-presidential authority: 6
That's not half, not a third, that's 1/7th.
None of these accomplishments were implemented with much more support
from Republicans than Democrats.
Nixon signed the 1970 Clean Air Act, so he gets presidential credit for signing it. But the legislation itself passed Congress with enormous bipartisan support.
The vote was 375–1 in the House and 73–0 in the Senate.
Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in 1970. Again, the congressional vote was overwhelmingly bipartisan: 310–58 in the House and
83–3 in the Senate. So Nixon deserves credit for supporting and signing it, but the legislation wasn't remotely something Republicans enacted against Democratic opposition.
However, we cannot give him credit for the Clean Water Act, because Nixon vetoed it. Then Congress overrode Nixon's veto.
None of these accomplishments were implemented against a large majority
of Democrats voting against it.
Only ONE time did a Democrat need Republicans to pass an accomplishment
and that was for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in which LBJ (Democrat) actually needed Republicans to help pass it.
For the other accomplishments, it was either bi-partisan or dominated by Democratic votes in favor.
And there is an important historical complication: the 1950s–70s Republican Party was substantially different from today's Republican Party. On civil rights, for example, liberal and moderate Republicans were often essential to passage, while conservative Southern Democrats supplied much of the opposition. The Senate's own historical account explicitly describes this bipartisan coalition and the deep divisions within both parties.
Understand that the current Republican party would vote against ALL of these accomplishments, and they are in fact trying to cut, gut or destroy them.
And that's a fact, so STFUYS.
What a fucking crybaby! So Canada makes nice with the EU and Donald Trump is pissed off for whatever reason this time and threatens tariffs on the EU and of course says that Canada has been a terrible trading partner. Huh?
Donald Trump is like the malicious ex-girlfriend or boyfriend that doesn't want you but doesn't want anyone else to have you either!!
while Mike Johnson is spending his time discussing how to steal democracy.
They could accept that they fucked up too much and that the American people are fed-up with them, but they know that they are all traitors and fear that accountability is coming,
so they will try to commit some more treason, to stay in power.
How much do you need to gaslight yourself, to believe that you're the good guys?
For decades, the only thing they have done is murder people, give your money to
the wealthy and distract you with culture war bullshit. When do realize you are conned?
You are in the complete OPPOSITE situation.
It's like you are eating nothing but meat and then you are saying:
"You cannot survive on just vegetables, so don't bother me doctor!".
China isn't socialist or communist, it is state-capitalist.
You keep misusing the term 'socialism' the same way lying governments do.
The word "socialist" contains the root word "social" (from the Latin socialis,
meaning "companion" or "ally") for a very specific reason: it was invented to be
the direct polar opposite of individualism. It means an economic system based on cooperation, mutual aid, and direct worker self-management. There is no cooperation, mutual aid, and direct worker self-management in China, they have state-control.
By doing that, you are lying to yourself. You are using the lie that they use to sell you rugged individualism for the working class and state sponsorship of the wealthy,
turning you into the slaves that you say you don't want the people to be.
Take a jab get a free hamburger!
Biden handing out money to every beggar here and importing even more for free votes.
VS
Bribing people to protect themselves and the country, with a hamburger
I see how you could think that these this are very similar (Trump vs Biden)
I think you have lost the plot here- so obsessed with our politics. Guess what- Not single American cares about your politics in Europe! Get back on your meds whacko
Did Trump get much? Maybe not, but china and russia will not be able to use greenland for military purpose. so our country is a bit safer now for the future.
Negotiations, you ask for more than you are will to accept so you can settle for what you wanted in the first place.
-Texas Republican senator John Cornyn
while he controls the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court.
Trump left Joe with a pandemic; ~400,000 US deaths and people distrusting the solution, 6.4% unemployment, a $3.13 trillion Federal deficit, a ~100% of GDP Federal debt held
by the public and a major recession (−3.5% of GDP).
You're only showing that you have no valid arguments.
The right thing to do is to make a statement then you take the facts and connect the dots. You just posting bullshit links of fake news proves nothing at all. So I call this bullshit.. Get your facts by connecting the dots of things already proven.. NOT FAKE NEWS.... Do you really think I'm as stupid as you?
The whole world saw Trump goof off, Americans didn't like it either,
all the polls showed that he was going to lose the election, and then he did.
A year of investigations and NOTHING to show for it.
You have NOTHING but lies and bullshit.
Meanwhile, Republicans are already trying to steal the election in Texas,
in a brazen way, like they ALWAYS do.
1. Mid-Cycle Gerrymandering
Redrawing congressional districts before the normal redistricting cycle to lock in more Republican seats.
2. Restricting Mail Voting
Making absentee voting harder through tighter eligibility and identification requirements.
3. Imposing Proof-of-Citizenship Barriers
Requiring documentary proof of citizenship that could prevent otherwise eligible voters from registering.
4. Aggressive Voter-Roll Purges
Using voter-roll reviews and removals that critics say risk sweeping up eligible voters.
Important qualification: Texas's 1.2 million “suspense voters” have not actually been disenfranchised; they can generally still vote after confirming their address.
5. Closing Polling Places
Eliminating dozens of Election Day polling sites, potentially increasing travel and wait times.
6. Restricting Where and When Texans Vote
Moving toward precinct-based, single-day voting and limiting flexible voting options.
7. Encouraging Voter Challenges
Supporting efforts to challenge voters' eligibility, potentially intimidating or deterring legitimate voters.
8. Tightening Election Administration
Adding stricter ID, registration, ballot and voter-verification requirements.
9. Weaponizing “Election Integrity” Investigations
Using allegations of voter fraud and noncitizen voting to justify investigations and tighter voting restrictions.
10. Closing Republican Primaries
Trying to restrict Republican primaries to formally registered Republicans, changing who can influence GOP nominees.
11. Undermining Confidence in Election Results
Promoting fraud narratives and election challenges that can create grounds to dispute unfavorable results

CHEATING!!! And no investigations needed, because it's on their OWN platforms.
You are a complete numbskull and unable to make a decent point, ever.
The topic was "the economy is only bad because of the MESS that Sleepy Joe left".
He had nothing but a claim and you had nothing either. Only bullshit.
You couldn't even bring yourself to say: "But the DOW...". NOTHING!!!
Do I need to make your points FOR YOU?! IT'S EMBARRASSING!!
lout to the illegals forcing them to vote to the left. The rest is to dilute Trumps popular approval.
So my question is to you, sir,,,,Name one thing the radicql left has done for america in order to make it a better country?
IF the dems went into office next january and actually started FIXING problems, they could earn the respect and votes of the people.
At least 1 dem did vote to keep the supreme court the same instead of letting the dems stack it in their favor.
Under the Constitution, a president can be impeached for:
1. Abuse of power (occurred several times)
2. Corruption (occurred several times)
3. Obstruction of justice and Congress (occurred several times)
4. Defying the courts (occurred several times)
5. Political retaliation (occurred several times)
6. Election interference (occurred several times)
7. Personal gain (occurred/occurring continuously)
8. Undermining the Constitution (occurred several times)
9. Mishandling of classified documents and national security secrets (occurred several times)
10. Violating the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses (occurred/occurring continuously)
11. Systematic financial and business fraud (occurred/occurring continuously)
12. Severe personal misconduct and defamation (occurred several times)
13. Treason* (no other president of the United States has come as close to meeting the legal definition of a domestic insurrection through his actions)
*Note on Treason: Treason strictly requires either aiding a foreign power during an open military conflict, or actively waging an armed insurrection against the United States. In the criminal indictments regarding January 6th, the Department of Justice chose to charge specific statutory crimes, such as obstruction of an official proceeding, rather than constitutional treason, due to the different evidentiary standards required by law.
The evidence is all transparently documented in courts across the US,
so you don't have to ask me for it.
Your side has not just lost independent voters, you're even losing life-long conservatives.
Undocumented immigrants cannot vote. Only naturalized US citizens can vote in federal, state, and generally local elections.
I do agree that the Democrats haven't shown a lot of plans the last decades. They were just managing the country. That's still better than destroying everything that matters. For plans that improve people's lives, you need progressives. FDR was a progressive; your side would call him a Communist Marxist today. He was so popular that your side needed to introduce term-limits to get rid of him, because he was overwhelmingly popular. This is the time that most Americans want back now. They have seen the absolute failure of your side, they have seen that corporate centrist Democrats are useless, so now those progressives and democratic socialists are winning almost everywhere. There is a wave coming that you cannot stop, because most Americans a sick and tired of being sick and tired. They want a government that works for them, instead for the wealthy.
Sure, everything on the list below would be called socialism, communism, Marxism or radical left by your side, it it was introduced today:
• Social Security — Gave elderly Americans, disabled workers, and survivors a basic financial safety net.
• Medicare — Ensured virtually every American over 65 has access to health insurance.
• Medicaid — Expanded health coverage for low-income Americans, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
• Civil Rights Act of 1964 — Outlawed racial discrimination in employment and public accommodations.
• Voting Rights Act of 1965 — Protected the right to vote against racial discrimination.
• Fair Housing Act — Outlawed discrimination in housing based on race and other protected characteristics.
• Desegregation — Used federal authority to dismantle government-enforced racial segregation.
• Equal Pay Act — Made paying workers differently solely because of sex unlawful.
• Americans with Disabilities Act — Protected Americans with disabilities from discrimination and required reasonable accessibility.
• Child-labor protections — Prevented children from being exploited in dangerous and abusive employment.
• Minimum wage — Established a nationwide wage floor for covered workers.
• Unemployment insurance — Provided temporary support to workers who lose their jobs.
• Workers’ compensation — Provided protection for workers injured on the job.
• Collective-bargaining rights — Protected workers’ ability to organize and negotiate with employers.
• GI Bill — Helped millions of veterans obtain education, homes, and economic opportunity.
• Rural electrification — Brought electricity to millions of rural Americans.
• New Deal infrastructure — Built roads, bridges, dams, schools, parks, and other infrastructure that served Americans for generations.
• FDIC — Protected Americans’ bank deposits and strengthened confidence in the banking system.
• Food and drug safety — Established stronger federal safeguards against dangerous food, medicines, and consumer products.
• Occupational safety standards — Established nationwide protections against dangerous workplace conditions.
• Clean Air Act — Dramatically reduced harmful air pollution.
• Clean Water Act — Established strong federal protections against water pollution.
• Environmental conservation — Preserved public lands, wildlife, forests, wetlands, and other natural resources.
• Superfund — Created a mechanism for cleaning up severely contaminated hazardous-waste sites.
• School nutrition programs — Helped ensure children receive nutritious meals regardless of family income.
• Head Start — Expanded early-childhood education and support for disadvantaged children.
• Veterans’ health care — Expanded federal medical services for American veterans.
• Consumer protection — Strengthened Americans’ protection against dangerous products and deceptive business practices.
• Nuclear arms control — Democratic administrations negotiated agreements that reduced the risk of nuclear conflict.
• Peace Corps — Created a long-running program of American volunteer service abroad.
• AmeriCorps — Created opportunities for Americans to serve their communities.
• Protection of interracial marriage — Federal constitutional protections ultimately eliminated state bans on interracial marriage.
• Protection of contraception access — Established constitutional protection for married couples’ access to contraception and later extended that protection.
• Marriage equality — Extended the legal right to marry to same-sex couples nationwide.
Now your turn; give me a list of things that Christian Nationalists, far-right conservatives or MAGA has done for America in order to make it a better country?
If you are a dope or illegal you will support democraps where they give you money which keeps them in power.
So let me ask you this. Are you a dope or illegal?. All of these are lies but let us go down if it is true.. The democraps party did at one time help americans. But at the time there was no radicals.. Which means you have not answered my question? Are you dumb and can't read or are you just plain stupid? Oh and by the way I am over 65 years old. Now I am making more than I did when shithead Biden cheated in the office.
Social security is for people that work and pay into it or get hurt trying to work.yet to many folks get it that have never worked or worked very little.
As for illegals not being able to vote, legally no,they can't but they buy fake id's and vote. why do you think I had to make sure my dead mothers name was off the roster? because some damn illegal would buy the info on the dark web and vote in my mothers name.
The SP is highly democratic because political power is deliberately organized from the bottom up: members organize in local branches, directly control those branches, elect representatives to higher bodies, collectively control important national decisions, participate in choosing the leadership and retain mechanisms for holding both party officials and elected representatives accountable.
The Republican denied the existence of Project 2025, didn't give you any consistent program to vote on, but expected you to vote for them just because of partisanship. You had candidate Trump promising to fix every problem in the US directly in very short times, and as soon as he got elected not even trying to do any of it.
When you are an SP member, you are involved in writing the program.
Then the representatives will work tirelessly to get as much of it done.
If they don't do their best to do exactly that, they can be replaced with
someone who will, at the members demands. We don't need to wait
for the next primaries.
The difference; you are loyal to your party, my party is loyal to it's members.
I support them, because they represent me, not the other way around.
And my country is more democratic, because I can easily switch to any of the many others. You have only two damn awful and corrupt choices, that have been there for ever and collude together to keep out other parties. In 10 years, we gained 4 new national political parties that gained seats; FVD, Volt, BBB and BIJ1. The BBB was even in the last government coalition. It wasn't a success, but it is giving my people lots of democratic choices that you don't have.
There is an onslaught of socialist candidates winning elections.
In your country, people are now ready for socialism more than in my country.
Of course they see the failures of capitalism much more clearly.
The US is quickly turning into a dystopian hellhole.
You are so confident that all illegals would surely vote for Democrats. Is that maybe because you understand that it takes decades of indoctrination to become stupid enough to vote for Republicans, and they didn't have that?
FDR killed many Jews. Woodrow Wilson killed Jews as well as henry ford and thomas edison.
I hate democrats and I hate replicans. Just a couple are worth hearing what they have to say.
Leadership vs. Ruling is the same as Utopia vs. socialism. You're a socialist right?. you and me is like oil and water.
Humanity evolved from Africa, also the middle east which is in Asia.
I know, so what?
You keep accusing me of lying, but you keep failing to show it.
FDR was MUCH more "radical" than the majority of the current Democrats. Most of them are centrist corporatists. They are about as right-wing now as Reagan was, and you can see it in their policy proposals. You ignore more of my questions than I ignore yours. I would, if it was in good faith and worth answering. Mostly they are not.
FDR killed many Jews. Woodrow Wilson killed Jews as well as henry ford and thomas edison.
I hate democrats and I hate replicans. Just a couple are worth hearing what they have to say.
Leadership vs. Ruling is the same as Utpia vs. socialism. You're a socialist right?. you and me is like oil and water.
It doesn't matter, because you will accuse me of lying anyway.
And then you just spit out nonsense without ANY facts or evidence.
You're either delusional or a troll.
Put some evidence towards those killed Jews.
"Leadership vs. Ruling is the same as Utpia vs. socialism."
That's just word salad. I guess, it must be delusional.
The MS St. Louis (1939): The most famous incident involved the German ocean liner St. Louis carrying 937 Jewish passengers fleeing the Third Reich. After being turned away by Cuba, the ship approached the U.S. coast, but the Roosevelt administration refused to let them disembark. The ship returned to Europe; roughly 254 of those passengers ultimately died in the Holocaust.

Why It HappenedImmigration Quotas: The Immigration Act of 1924 set strict national origin quotas that Congress and the State Department enforced rigidly.

No it is not word salad. Ruling is socialism, communism.. Democracy is leadership. The only ignorant troll here is you.
which is exactly what you want Trump to do. There are genocides and mass murders going on today too.
In Marxist theory, socialism is democratic worker control and ownership of the workplaces and means of production.
Communism is the ultimate, stateless, and classless society that emerges after socialism.
Democracy is any system of government where power is vested in the people and exercised by them either directly or through elected representatives.
Democracy under socialism is inherently different from capitalist democracy. Marxists argue that capitalist democracy is an illusion (bourgeois democracy) because wealth dictates political power. In contrast, democracy under socialism is envisioned as a radical, bottom-up system where the working-class majority rules society and democratically manages the economy.
In Marxist theory, a political state and its democratic systems (like voting, parliaments, or laws) only exist to manage conflict between different social classes. Because full communism is a classless society, the mechanisms of political rule become completely obsolete.Instead of a political democracy, society is organized through .the voluntary association of producers. Without a state or money, society relies on rotating administrative bodies to manage resources and plan production based directly on human need. Because automation and collective cooperation create an abundance of goods, survival is guaranteed. Individuals are completely free to pursue their creative potentials, erasing the distinction between the governors and the governed.
Personally, I think that communism is too complicated. I prefer socialism as
an end goal, but I would already be satisfied with a hybrid of capitalism and socialism, in which important public services are socialized, but luxury consumer goods would be produced and owned by private companies,
that are regulated and taxed enough to limit their power.
Yeah it is the same. Just as guilty.. Who do you think funded Hitler's 3rd reich... No it wasnt Germany..Wasn't the Vatican or Russia.. It was the United states of America..Led by FDR.. When he sent the Jews to the gas chamber he knew what was going to happen.... You know what.. Just shut the fuck up already.
Have you seen Trump at work? HE DEMANDS OBEDIENCE.
Socialism and communism are derived from the words social and commune for a reason; because their core theory is built on collective ownership and cooperation, NOT a ruling class.
Why do I even try to talk some sense into a person who believes fringe conspiracy theories, historical revisionism, and factually upside-down claims? You are explicitly contradicting history, as it is recognized by allies and enemies alike.
There is a massive paper trail showing exactly how the Nazis funded their own regime, mostly through plundering occupied Europe and stealing the wealth of Jewish citizens. FDR didn’t run Germany, nor did he order the Holocaust. The US government actually fought a total war to destroy the Third Reich. Blaming the country that helped liberate the camps for building them ignores the real perpetrators: Hitler and the Nazi regime.
Over 400,000 American soldiers died fighting across Europe and the
Pacific to destroy fascism. American troops were the ones who liberated concentration camps like Buchenwald and Dachau. To claim that the US government and FDR actually ran the Third Reich and sent people to gas chambers completely spits on the sacrifice of those American veterans.
I'm accused of hating America a lot, but what you just said is worse than ANYTHING I have ever said.
To the others on this forum who usually back him up: if you stay silent on this, you are showing a complete lack of principle and intellectual courage.
People on your side are singing a "Heil Hitler" song, from a guy who ran for president, and actually got 60,000 votes. The current president, said that he and Kanye West have been friends 'a long time'.
Don't forget:
Nick Fuentes (Mar-a-Lago dinner, 2022)
David Duke (2016 campaign endorsement controversy)
Tucker Carlson (Regarding the platforming of Nick Fuentes, 2025)
The Proud Boys ("Stand back and stand by" debate comment, 2020)
Charlottesville "Unite the Right" Marchers ("Very fine people on both sides" statement, 2017)
The worst antisemites, the people who are walking around
with shaved heads chanting "The Jews will not replace us!",
are voting for Republicans, not Democrats.
You have missunderstood everything. You've even missunderstood me.. I'm not lerf or right.. I am in the origin, the center..
You claim you are not left or right, but 'in the origin, the center.' That is
a convenient lie. We see it all over social media and online forums; everyone who brands themselves a 'centrist' magically ends up completely up Trump’s ass. You aggressively defend everything he does and attack everything a Democrat has ever done. That does not make you a centrist; it makes you a partisan who lacks the courage to own their label.
When I bring up documented history, you just claim I 'misunderstood.' Yet, when I press you for details, you never correct or clarify anything; you just repeat yourself. That failure to explain proves I understand
your position perfectly.
The worst antisemites, the people walking around with shaved heads chanting 'The Jews will not replace us,' are consistently voting for your candidates. If you truly stood in the 'center,' you would be just as repulsed by these associations as I am. Instead, you dodge, deflect,
and claim 'nobody is perfect,' which is disgusting; especially since you keep trying to brand me as an antisemite in multiple posts just to deflect from the literal neo-Nazis on your own side.
Aligning yourself with a movement that platforms Holocaust deniers is not a minor imperfection; it is a moral failure. If you want me to believe you are in the center, start acting like it, by holding Republicans accountable, instead of making excuses for the inexcusable.
Single Democratic president/authority: 23
Single Republican president/authority: 5
Multiple presidents / non-presidential authority: 6
That's not half, not a third, that's 1/7th.
None of these accomplishments were implemented with much more support
from Republicans than Democrats.
Nixon signed the 1970 Clean Air Act, so he gets presidential credit for signing it. But the legislation itself passed Congress with enormous bipartisan support.
The vote was 375–1 in the House and 73–0 in the Senate.
Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in 1970. Again, the congressional vote was overwhelmingly bipartisan: 310–58 in the House and
83–3 in the Senate. So Nixon deserves credit for supporting and signing it, but the legislation wasn't remotely something Republicans enacted against Democratic opposition.
However, we cannot give him credit for the Clean Water Act, because Nixon vetoed it. Then Congress overrode Nixon's veto.
None of these accomplishments were implemented against a large majority
of Democrats voting against it.
Only ONE time did a Democrat need Republicans to pass an accomplishment
and that was for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in which LBJ (Democrat) actually needed Republicans to help pass it.
For the other accomplishments, it was either bi-partisan or dominated by Democratic votes in favor.
And there is an important historical complication: the 1950s–70s Republican Party was substantially different from today's Republican Party. On civil rights, for example, liberal and moderate Republicans were often essential to passage, while conservative Southern Democrats supplied much of the opposition. The Senate's own historical account explicitly describes this bipartisan coalition and the deep divisions within both parties.
Understand that the current Republican party would vote against ALL of these accomplishments, and they are in fact trying to cut, gut or destroy them.
And that's a fact, so STFUYS.
Donald Trump is like the malicious ex-girlfriend or boyfriend that doesn't want you but doesn't want anyone else to have you either!!
