Sadly he is the comic book character we all think he is ..

He flew that boy for Trump and the brand .. he was just a good PR . He didn’t care about the kid.. and if by chance he was sincere 1 good deed in a life of wickedness .. is meaningless

re-read what you posted.it’s like a sitcom script.

“He wasn’t sincere. And even if he was, it’s meaningless.”

so you admit you have no idea if he was sincere or not, so rather than embarrass yourself with that nonsense, just don’t speculate.

Ask the parents of that child
if it was meaningless.

Is it so crazy that we judge someone based on everything they do, not just the bad? i’m not saying ignore the bad, but you’re all
ignoring everything that’s not bad. That’s as biased as it gets. You sure don’t use the same method to evaluate democrats.

please explain the point of this post. are you saying that because the child died, trumps attempt to help him aren’t noble? or are you saying because the child’s father may have committed a crime, trumps attempt to save his child arent noble?

How is Trump in any way connected, to what this kids father did?

please clarify. and then do a little soul searching.

Good God, Jim. My hope is when you are old and wiser, you will be able to look back and recognize how dangerous this man is....

I think Trump, on balance, is an awful human being. Awful.

But a record-number of Americans polled in 2020, said they were better off after 4 years of his presidency. Never before had that many Americans said they were better off after 4 years of a president (Gallup does this poll every 4 years). Which is why I say that even though he's personally bad, the policies he advocated for, are things that Americans liked.

I would not want to live in a country where Trump was a dictator, for sure. Then he'd potentially be dangerous. In our country, with the checks and balances, he's not really metaphysically dangerous.

I don't recall Trump's justice department flagging people as domestic terrorists who express opinions at Board of Ed meetings. Bidens DOJ is doing that. That’s not dangerous?

I don't recall Trumps IRS being used as a club against people who disagree with his politics. Obama's IRS did that. That’s not dangerous?

I'll judge Trump, like I do everyone, based on everything they do. I don't ignore the good (if the potus is in the other party) or the bad (if the potus is in my party).

Nightfighter, was it a good thing Trump did, when he donated his jet (when the airlines refused to do so) to fly that kid across country?

Was that a kind act, yes or no?

trump deserves all kinds of heat for looking into that. i don’t know that he actually tried to do it. i know that in january 6, he told the crowd explicitly to be peaceful
and patriotic, he used those exact words in that day. but for sure, he considered some potentially scary things. which is exactly why i said i wouldn’t want him to be a dictator. i’m not revising history, i’m the one who considers everything he did. you’re the one who refuses to accept that he ever did anything good. that’s revising history.

now can you please answer
my question? why did you post that the kid that trump helped died, and that his father was accused of financial mis-doings?

you posted it, so clearly you saw that as a rebuttal that trump is capable of doing anything good. i’d like to know why.

we have this routine, you and i. i answer your questions directly, and you dodge mine.

i hate trump. can’t stand him. but the fact is, he’s done some good things, helped some people. that’s simply the truth. that truth scares some people because it undermines their political agenda. that’s not my problem.

Jim echoing the rights mantra

Trump wasn’t wrong

FYI

Jim the borders haven’t changed
Jobs are fine just nobody wants the #^&#^&#^&#^& ones
Crime is crime still lower than decades ago
And inflationary trends are world wide
You left out the stock market is still breaking records

And unemployment is 4.5%

Here are some Trump stats from his term


The economy lost 2.9 million jobs.

The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.

After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records.
The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.

The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.

The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Home prices rose 27.5%,

Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.

Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.

Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.

The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.

Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats.

Biden still got 3.4 years to go but we know how the Republicans plan obstructing anything. No matter how many Americans want it or will benefit from Dems legislation …

You didn't read the memo, did you?
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21066248-eastman-memo

I don't recall Trump's justice department flagging people as domestic terrorists who express opinions at Board of Ed meetings. Bidens DOJ is doing that. That’s not dangerous?

First of all, the current DOJ is investigating threats to public officials serving in both school and public health positions. A threat to kill or harm is not expressing your opinion in a public forum.

The Trump administration perpetrated widespread abuses of power (including potential criminal acts) both within the Department of Justice and throughout the executive branch. Career staff were co-opted into participating in many of those abuses (although many also pushed back). If there is no internal accountability, the same lapses will happen again – and everyone knows it. The Department, primarily under Attorney General Bill Barr’s leadership, acted several times to aid President Trump politically, interfering in ongoing criminal prosecutions to favor Trump allies, using the power of the Department to target Trump’s perceived enemies and critics, making improper public statements, giving illegal orders to and illegally deploying federal law enforcement officers, being less than completely forthright with courts, enforcing a human rights-violating policy of separating families at the southern border, and generally acting to represent the personal interests of former President Trump rather than those of the office of the presidency and the country (and this is by no means a comprehensive list).


I don't recall Trumps IRS being used as a club against people who disagree with his politics. Obama's IRS did that. That’s not dangerous?

No, He used the DOJ

I'll judge Trump, like I do everyone, based on everything they do. I don't ignore the good (if the potus is in the other party) or the bad (if the potus is in my party).

Nightfighter, was it a good thing Trump did, when he donated his jet (when the airlines refused to do so) to fly that kid across country?

Why you would praise Stalin and a third of Russians still do:

1. Stalin transformed a fairly backwoods and largely illiterate peasant country into a world superpower(with Nuclear and Space capability) in a matter of 30 years. This is a monumental achievement. For example, a lot of people know about the legendary T-34 tank that was both innovative and simple enough to produce in large numbers. But take a moment and think that producing a tank(or any other complex machinery) requires thousands of parts. There needs to be a ball bearing factory and an engine factory and munitions factory. Not to mention all the raw materials and fuel. Russian Empire had a very limited industrial capability and all of this had to be created from scratch. It’s a huge logistical and organizational challenge.

2. Quality of life. The quality of life for the 90% of Soviet population improved dramatically. Before revolution there were famines roughly every five years. Majority of population was illiterate and had practically no access to healthcare. Child and mother mortality rates were very high. Living conditions were horrid. All of this saw huge improvements and for the first time in centuries there were no more semi regular famines.

3. Pragmatism. Works of Marx and Lenin(to an extent) are all theoretical and have never been applied in practice. Stalin had an ability to shape and interpret them in a way that allowed practical application of socialism in Russia.

4. Humbleness. It’s a well known fact, that after Stalin died, the only material goods that he left were few old uniforms and boots(and some money in the bank from the publication of his works)

The important thing, though, is that all of this happened not because of the meticulous planning, but because of the unprecedented cruelty. Collectivization, propaganda, slave labor of the prisoners, repressions — and the list goes on. In a way, one could say Stalin took the USSR by force. Monumentalism, which was expressed both in architecture and governance, was a distinctive feature of Stalin’s times. It is unacceptable to forget at what cost did the nations of the Soviet Union make these grandiose changes, but it’s also good to know that some of them have turned out to be useful.

"Republicans across the nation are enacting polices on issues from Covid safeguards to restrictions on abortion"

I don't think people elect republicans because they promised to make abortion more widespread.

We get it, you don't like republicans. But there are huge pockets of the population that embrace conservatism. You need to learn to deal with it. Sometimes you get your way at election time, sometimes you don't. As Obama liked to say, "elections have consequences."

Unless there's another major crisis, the midterms are going to be a referendum on what America thinks about open borders, abortion until birth, men going to the bathroom with little girls, demonizing the police, viewing EVERYTHING through the lens of race, huge spikes in the price of gas, meaningful inflation for the first time in many many years, green new deals, druggies shooting up on the lawns of public elementary schools, China continuing to rise in power, etc. Not all of that is the fault of Democrats, but not all of covid was Trump's fault, either. Sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As Obama liked to say, "elections have consequences." yes jim elections have consequences when the republican is willing to rig the game to hold so many seats while representing only if you add up the population of states and assign half to each of their two senators, “the Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.”

The Republicans don't need to do anything, just sit back and watch AOC lead the entire democratic party right off the lefty cliff.

we'll see who the republicans put forward as candidates it will be interesting .. that 41,549,808 million more people than the republican Half just saying

10 minutes ago you told me 19 republicans voted for it. Now you're saying it hasn't been voted on.

I'm trying to take you seriously, you make it difficult.

the republican is willing to rig the game to hold so many seats while representing only if you add up the population of states and assign half to each of their two senators, “the Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half

Did "the republicans" do that? Or the founding fathers? WDMSO, that was the deal the founding fathers offered to the less-populated colonies, to get them to join the union. I'm not going to deny that lately, that's working out better for the right than for the left.

Maybe it wasn't that smart for the left to come up with an agenda that's only popular in the heavily-populated areas on the two coasts. Maybe if the left didn't have such obvious contempt for everyone who lives between the coasts, they'd do better within the electoral college. That's their fault, not the GOP's fault.

Meanwhile in the real world, the Justice Department has added two top prosecutors from Washington to the child sex trafficking investigation of Republican Matt Gaetz

it hasn’t been voted on in the house.

DO YOU KNOW WHO CONTROLS WHAT GETS VOTED ON IN THE HOUSE?

Nancy Pelosi controls that. She won’t bring it to a vote, because the progressives have made it clear they won’t vote for it.

Naturally, You say that’s all the republicans fault.

That’s some sound logic there. I mean it’s so rational.

If the democrats weren’t so completely dysfunctional, heys have passed the 1.5T i infastructure bill, that would have been a huge win. it’s a good bill that the country actually wants.

but nope. AOC and her marxist squad successfully held it hostage, connecting it to the 3.5T bill that was never going anywhere.

The democrats had big win right in their hands, but managed yet again to blow it.
