Recommended Posts

Trumps executive orders can be rescinded

His cabinet employed to sabotage the agencies they were to lead are fired

International Relations damage will take years

Handpicked judicial appointees are in for decades or life.

The basket of deplorables many are doomed to a lifetime of ignorance

Radicalized like any extremist very difficult to help even with years of therapy

Wait a minute.  That package was negotiated for 8 months.  Trump could of jumped in months ago to demand this, just like the dems did. But he didn't.

 

Anyone with half a brain cell knows this.  He came in at the end, after stopping the package from passing, then throwing this grenade in just to create chaos.  Sad you fell for it.  But yes, Mitch was also part of the problem.  Has been for years now.

I only commented that he said the GOP senators had a death wish if they didn't vote for the $2000. He was right.

The rest of what you posted is nothing to do with my comment.

Poor guy didn't stand a chance with the lefty judges, mayors, BLM, ANTIFA, the media, sports and hollywood out to get him from day one. Surprised he stuck around for one term.

What?  He started the mess.  If he just shut up and let others around him manage things, he'd still be president.  Don't deflect the blame towards others.  Trump was the top dog and should take the blame for losing.

Yeah, thank God for that.  Nobody wants the free speech Trump and his enablers have been spewing.  It lead to an attempted coup.  So much for free speech.

 

P.S. Conspiracy theories about the election are down 75% after Trump was banned from social media.  Who would have guessed...not you for sure.

 

Misinformation went down after Twitter banned Trump - The Washington Post

If speech you don't like is restricted, there is no free speech. If one wants to restrict speech one is by definition against free speech.

Seems a lot of Americans are against free speech.

When does the book burning start?

Are you planning on calling those wrong too?

Unlike some on here, I'm not predicting who WILL win in 2022. However mid terms are often a protest election and the Democrats can't afford to lose many seats to keep the house and the senate. Will only take a few.

Remember that the GOP didn't lose a single seat in congress this election ( that I know of ). That must worry the Dems over the next 2 years.

We don't have freedom of speech per the constitution.  Seems some don't understand this.  Do some research.

Polls were right in 2016 (they predicted the popular vote, not EC vote) and they were right in 2020.

 

45 lost. Badly. Largest loss by an incumbent repub ever. A Landslide.

 

He leaves having lost 2 popular votes, after 2 impeachments, and after entering with an (R) Senate, (R) House and (R) WH, he leaves with a (D) WH, (D) Senate and (D) House.

 

He entered with a growing economy, falling unemployment, a declining yearly deficit, and no pandemic. He leaves in the midst of an horrific pandemic, rising unemployment, an economy in Recession, and a skyrocketing national deficit.

 

That is failure on a grand scale, an absolute humiliation.

 

45 is going to disappear like flatulence in a typhoon. It's over.

THREE conservatives on SCOTUS is not a failure. Had he done nothing else at all that is a success. He also got rid of the horrible Pacific treaty, which is a very good thing, IMO. I'd like to have seen him go harder on China, but we can't have everything we wish for.

 

BTW, he's not going to disappear- CNN will see to that. Without him to attack constantly they don't have much to keep the ad revenue coming in IMO.

From reading this ( and other ) threads, seems that many posters only believe that democracy works if the candidate they want wins. That's not democracy, if you didn't know already.

I thought the MAJORITY of voters decided which candidate wins!

You keep harping on this nonsensical point. What did Trump do so that 3 seats opened up on the Supreme Court? Did he orchestrate hits on Scalia and Ginsberg? Did he threaten Kennedy in order to get him to resign?

That would only apply if every voter voted. Few countries make all voters vote which leads to minority governments.

Voting is not compulsory in USA, another quirk in a crazy voting system. It all depends on how many get off their butts and get out and vote! Fortunately the Dems had the numbers this time around!

The constitution also gives the electoral college. Do some research.

It would be nice if you just admitted that Trump LOST, finished, finito, gone, out, over, When will you come to terms with reality??? Or is Denial a river in Egypt?
