Trump is a xenophobe?

[Pete F.]

There is always a tweet for that, I'm concerned that Trump hasn't already fixed Baltimore himself. He's had years to do it.
I guess he's been busy watching TV (I'll never have time to watch TV, he claimed) and playing golf.

Trump promised never to golf. I guess that was like Mexico paying for the wall. Instead, he’s spent more than twice as many days golfing as Obama at the same point, with an estimated cost to taxpayers of over 100 million dollars and almost exclusively at Trump clubs. Hey, might just as well line his pockets with our money.

Without the first paragraph it is actually a very fair question. It should be simple enough for even you to grasp I would guess. But perhaps I overestimate you given the way you tried to dodge.

Keep thinking that it will be OK, that this too shall pass. Trump's effect on this country is horrific.

This is because instead of governing all the people, he acts as if he is the President of only those who agree with him and all dissenters are called names, denigrated and perhaps they should leave. He is the Great Divider Incarnate and celebrates it. Sad

The president, along with the vice president, are the only two public officials elected by the entire country. The president bears a unique responsibility to represent the unity of the country. Trump does not accept that responsibility. He treats his political opponents as illegitimate and even disloyal. He declared at the North Carolina rally, “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream — frankly, the destruction of our country.”

Almost all the members thought to be checks on Trumps behavior in his early Cabinet are gone now and replaced by allies, many of whom have not been confirmed by Congress as required by the Constitution.

This has all happened before in history and people believed then that nothing bad would happen, just welcome economic prosperity and the removal of constraints on the success of their nation.

Ex-Chancellor Franz Von Papen believed that conservative elites could control Hitler. Instead, by 1934 Von Papen’s political career was over, as Hitler, in a whirlwind series of personnel changes, set his propaganda machine – that same machine that denounced the media as the lugenpresse, the “lying press” – to work against his erstwhile allies and, despite not having won a majority of the votes in the previous election, purged his government of the moderating voices of non-Nazis.

You could have just shown me your badge!

Poor boy, you ought to realize all people have parents who love them, Jesus does also.

Even the ones who don't conform.

It's perfectly acceptable to you to insult some people because you don't like their appearance, (though I'm sure you would deflect and say he didn't really mean that) but suggest that yours might not conform and it is horrifying and a sure indicator that someone is one of the most evil things in your world.

Liberal

Would you shoot your children or yourself if those were yours?

Or just do this?

wdmso, the left has
no interest in admitting that democrats have (1) run baltimore for 50
years, and (2) that they've done a terrible job. trump pointed out their failure, and god knows they can’t admit he’s right, so they play their go-to card, racism.

Just what part of this are Liberal Democrats responsible for?

It's always the fault of the Liberals with you

During World War II, the steel industry underwent a production boom. Bethlehem’s mill at Sparrow Point, which built cargo and transport ships, expanded quickly to meet supply needs. The mill reached its peak employment in 1959, with 35,000 workers. Second- or third-generation steelworkers earning union wages could achieve financial independence with middle-class living standards, save for the future, and afford higher education for their children to prepare them for employment beyond the steel mill.

In short, union representation helped to transform an industry with a self-replicating workforce of unskilled workers into a means for economic and social advancement.

The latter part of the 20th Century saw a nationwide decline in the manufacturing sector, and Bethlehem Steel was no exception to this trend. In 1971, when Sparrows Point was the largest steel mill in the country, a surge in steel imports led to massive layoffs among domestic producers. Three thousand workers at Sparrow Point lost their jobs that year, followed by another 7,000 in 1975.

By the late 1980s, the workforce had dwindled to 8,000, accompanied by a decline in wages and benefits as the union conceded on many pay and benefits issues. Baltimore workers could no longer look to steel as a source of middle-class wages and job security.

The story of Bethlehem’s steel mill at Sparrows Point is a microcosm of economic changes that profoundly affected Baltimore and other “rust belt” cities across the US during this period. The manufacturing industries, having long been the economic base for employment and output for nearly a century, dwindled and disappeared.

Baltimore lost over 100,000 manufacturing jobs between 1950 and 1995, 75% of its industrial employment — not to mention most of the jobs with union representation. Currently, only 6% of all jobs in the City are in manufacturing. The collapse of industry led to a number of changes in the demographic makeup of the City and the surrounding region, contributing to a crisis in urban poverty that lingers today.

American Industry failed to change in the 60s when the rest of the world rebuilt their Industry after WW2 and suffered the loss of manufacturing jobs, this destroyed city after city including Baltimore and in Connecticut and Massachusetts, Machine tool, wire mills and others that failed to modernize their production methods and facilities.

[Jim in CT]

obviously it’s not the fault of liberalism that so many manufacturing jobs were lost.

But liberalism makes those inner cities worse. Because liberalism (1) doesn’t come
close to adequately stressing the downside of single parent households. liberals thing that the concept of the nuclear family is an anachronism, and that if something feels good, you should just do it and not worry about consequences.

(2) liberalism also crippled those poor people
in inner cities by making them
addicted to welfare, robbing them if the initiative to take care of themselves.

A great liberal, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, predicted this long ago. he predicted that liberalism would
destroy the black. nuclearr family, and that would
be a holocaust for blacks. he was right.

i don’t know how, with decades of
empirical evidence, that liberals don’t see the damage they are doing. my guess is that it’s intentional, because if you create this permanent underclass, liberals
make them dependent on welfare, and therefore dependable reliable democrat voters.

that also explains why liberals oppose school choice.

i may well be wrong, but i can’t see a more logical explanation. liberal approach to poverty is to give poor people just enough to stay alive, but not nearly what they need to climb out of poverty. i’m not sure liberals want them
to climb out of poverty, because if they do, many will no longer vote democrat.

i said i wouldn’t criticize who wins? when did i say that? i criticize whoever wins, regardless of party, when they screw up.

let’s be very very clear. my vacation from this forum had absolutely nothing to do with biden, it had 100% to do with Pete’s deeply offensive actions, and yours. I said that to you very very clearly. calling out someone’s wife is beyond what i would have thought was possible here. and the use of the word retard means you’re an uncaring jerk.

I’m fine with Biden’s win. i didn’t vote for him, but have made a ton of money investing in oil and lithium. any idiot could have seen that coming. paying for catholic school and hastening my retirement. if you’re not buying things that will do well in periods of high inflation, you’re blowing a huge opportunity.

Sense of humor? I’m writing a sitcom pilot with a brother, be happy to send it to you. I have no sense of humor about using someone’s children or ill spouse as a weapon against them, nor about making fun of people unfortunate enough to be born with special needs. you’ll say that means i’m angry. in reality, it’s because i’m a better man than you are.

interesting take, coming from the guy who got banned from starting new threads, specifically because of your psychotic obsession with attacking people who don’t agree with you.

how many guys post here? and how many have been formally banned from starting new threads? What do those answers mean to you?

Where am I confused, please straighten me out.
