Popular Post onthedarkside Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 In his keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Saturday evening, former President Donald Trump aired grievances with his familiar foes: President Biden, the Department of Justice, and the litany of legal fights he is embroiled in. But Trump, now an official presidential candidate who is expected to see a crowded field of other challengers, also took subdued shots at his potential opponents, and argued that any GOP option that's not him represents an establishment "we're never going back to." "This is the final battle," he said. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-cpac-2023-03-04/ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. people can have different opinions about social supports, wars, abortion, and many other issues, I accept that. The problem with many losers and stupid people is, that they don't care about the truth and reality. I.e. if Trump would say something like: I lost the last election, and now I will work harder to win your trust so that I win next time. That would make sense. I still wouldn't like him, but I would accept that he fights for his believes. But Trump still denies reality on so many levels. And his followers should know that he is lying all the time.

I'm sure you are better than that, from your posts on other threads but you seem to have a problem when it comes to Trump. BTW, they may not like him, but hate Washington so much they support him over the professional politicians. I can understand why that is. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone on the left of politics objects to being labelled "woke" or "communist" every time they open their mouth because the right wing have no coherent policy platform. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 Some of you may be shocked, but it turns out Trump's speech to CPAC was full of falsehoods 1)He claimed killings are at an unprecedented level in NYC. This is false. In 2020 and 2021 murders started falling again. In 2021 there were a total of 433 homicides in NY. In 1990 the total was 2245 2)He claimed the US left 85 billion dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan. The total was actually about 7 billion. 3)He claimed "windmills" created the most expensive form of energy every developed. False. He also claimed that they kill birds which is ture but the numbers are negligible compared to what slaughter domestic cats , the fossil fuel industry and buildings are responsible for. Isn't Trump in real estate? 4) Trump said he shut down border crossings. Not true. And they began to climb back up again in 2020. 5)He claimed that no previous administration had gotten anything from China. Again false. Tariffs from Chinese imports on a yearly basis varied between 8 and 14 billion dollars per year. 6)He claimed that NATO members were delinquent in paying their bills. 7)He claimed that the Obama administration only sent blankets to Ukraine. Actually, the rendered assistance worth about 600 million dollars. 8)He claimed that the wall between Mexico and the USA was "completed". https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/04/us/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac.html 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he isn't the candidate, but if he is I expect everything about it to be very interesting. I said that before he was elected and I was not disappointed in the ensuing 4 years.

No, it wasn't anyone else who prevented him from doing what he wanted, it was himself not wanting anything except being at the pillar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
