I have stated many times and will do so once again... I have never liked Trump... I liked some of his accomplishments in making America prosperous, but have always regarded him as a narcissistic ass and all around <deleted>... so move on 

Another case of I-don't-like-Trump-but...

Can you share with us what accomplishments of Trump changed the economic trends that he inherited? To make this easy for you to prove, I've posted these 2 graphs.

"This year so far, neo-Nazi appearances have been spread across 15 different states and generally involved members from relatively new groups that initially formed as loose online communities, and then metastasized into formal organizations, such as NSC-131, Aryan Freedom Network, Blood Tribe, Goyim Defense League and a national network of Active Clubs," reports Vice.

 

And while former President Donald Trump gained the support of many avowed Nazis in past elections, Vice has found that many of the current crop appear attracted to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over his hard-right stances on immigration and LGBTQ rights.

 

Brian Levin, former director of Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State Univ. San Bernardino, tells Vice News that rhetoric attacking undocumented immigrants and the transgender community from mainstream Republican politicians has helped embolden far-right extremists to escalate their actions.

"Young people are not warming to the MAGA message," said Romney.

 

I don't think it will be successful long-term because I think young people are paying far more attention and are not going to be sucked into the populist notions, and so I think our party goes back to, if you will, the wise wing of the Republican Party as time goes on."

 

I quote that H.L. Mencken line, which is, 'To every complex problem there is a solution which is simple, clear, and wrong.'

Appeals court limits access to GOP congressman’s phone in defeat for special counsel

Published 3:40 PM EDT, Wed September 13, 2023

 

(CNN) A federal appeals court has blocked federal prosecutors from obtaining a swath of cellphone records from a Pennsylvania Republican congressman who worked to overturn Donald Trump’s election defeat in 2020, in a ruling that could have dramatic legal implications that benefit federal lawmakers.

 

The ruling from the three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals made public Wednesday blocks special counsel Jack Smith’s office from obtaining Rep. Scott Perry’s discussions with other lawmakers about the 2020 election.

 

At very least, the appeals court proceedings have put on hold prosecutors’ ability to access a cell phone they wanted to examine of a top, well-connected official backing Trump’s election fraud beliefs after the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

Tell that to the poor students whose debt he wants to cancel

You mean the ones who spent a a hundred grand on a gender studies degree, can't find a job (surprise, surprise) and want welders and farmers to pay their debts?

That's a nice fiction.  Can you give real examples of these people?

Here.  I'll let Mike Rowe speak for me:

 

https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/mike-rowe-speaks-out-against-student-loan-debt-forgiveness-how-is-any-of-this-the-taxpayers-responsibility.html

 

Back in my day, we called it "basketweaving and ceramics"  Nowadays, it's "Gender Studies", code for a degree with no jobs on the other side.

 

In the hierarchy of debts that the gub'ment (and taxpayers) may want to forgive, I'd much rather see them forgive health care debts.  Because unlike college debts, nobody applied for cancer or willingly signed up for a heart attack.

 

So far, all I've seen Biden do is to throw $$ trillions of dollars that we don't have at problems.  We won't know if any of those investments giveaways will pay out, often for decades.

The fact of the matter is all he did was Golf and Grift and supports Putin he golfed an average of 309 days a year what did he actually accomplish, the Wall he tried to attemp to build is falling apart , accepting 2 Billion dollars from Saudis thru his son in law , startling Documents to show rogue nations , you should be on Cult Island 

What does that have to do with a judge who has already (and on many occasions) shown extreme prejudice against a defendant recusing herself from a trial?

Nothing, because the alleged ‘extreme prejudice’ is nothing of the sort.

Please share with us that people who enganged in gender studies constitute a significant percentage of those who are still paying off their student loans. Just another flagrantly ridiculous claim.

Your going to let the Dirty Jobs guy Mike Rowe give us an opinion , that’s who you follow Geezus get back on your Qanon outlet for more intelligent audience and Cult

Prosecutors: No grounds for judge to recuse in federal case against Trump over 2020 election
The former president’s lawyers contend Judge Tanya Chutkan should step aside due to prior comments.

09/14/2023 11:27 PM EDT

 

Special counsel Jack Smith’s office on Thursday sharply rejected former President Donald Trump’s push for U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to step aside from the federal criminal case related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.

 

In a 20-page filing, prosecutors said Trump had failed to show any bias by Chutkan against Trump, despite allusions she made to him in a pair of sentencing proceedings against Capitol riot defendants in 2021 and 2022. Rather, argued senior assistant special counsels Molly Gaston and Thomas Windom, Trump “cherry-picks” from Chutkan’s quotes at those hearings to cast accurate and appropriate statements as inappropriate commentary.  ...

 

However, judges also have wide latitude to state their views from the bench based on the facts and information they learn in the course of their cases — and both defendants explicitly invited a comparison to Trump and others who stoked the fury of the mob that day.

Your remark is utterly clueless. As the graphs I posted show, Trump's policies made no discernible difference to the economic trends that preceded his Presidency. Exactly how do you construe that to mean I endorse Trump's record or the reactionary and fact-free babbling of Mike Rowe?

Does one need to have a job on the other side. Music and arts degrees guarantee nothing. Are they worthless? Is education only about work for you? Plug into the system. Work, consume, die.

In other words, neither you nor Mike Rowe can give examples of your gender studies major expecting student loan debt relief.  Still a fiction.

It's just more red nasty meat for fools to munch on.
