So trans men aren't real men? It's a pretty straight forward yes or no question.

YES!

Trans "so called men" are self identifying as non men!

In your recent posts you have quoted Fox News.  twice.  And nothing else.  So that is where you get all your information?

Yes, but Republicans, including Trump, are more likely to increase deficits on their watch.  Democrats are more likely to reverse them.

 

Do you recall the Republican panic early in the George W. Bush Presidency regarding the small budget surplus the Clinton administration left them?  They were actually arguing for more deficit spending, then they delivered big time.

“yes, but Republicans, including Trump, are more likely to increase deficits on their watch”

 

And I’m sure you have the stats on how much was added by Obama phones.

 

How much will be added for student loans forgiveness and reparations for never slaves owned by never masters.

 

I’m sure you have the stats in USD on  how much military weapons, hardware and infrastructure was abandoned in Afghanistan.

 

I can add more but we’ll see what numbers you come up with.  Don’t want to overwork you.

Was this because trump signed an order/agreement to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.......

 

In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States–Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar,^[7] which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments.

 

trump signed off on the US withdrawal, so sheet it back to him. It did not help that the US military made a hash of it, the same military which served both trump and Biden.

It's ironic how when one retires his prior employment becomes so much more exciting than what reality really was. I'll bet you're a hero in all your afternoon naps.

I bet you can tell a joke or two, at a party, eh? nudge-nudge wink wink. say no more.

I do not believe that there are enough idiots/non intelligent voters in the USA who cannot look at what he did last time and what he is doing now and even think of electing it!

Nice try !

 

Withdraw and taking what we owned with us vs leaving it all behind like the fool Biden.

 

Still haven’t answered the question of total USD added to the deficit by giving them the gift that never stops giving.

Poor deflection.

 

We are talking federal deficits.  Not future expenses, not down in the dirt details.  Annual federal deficit history, which shows that both parties are bad, but Republicans are the ones who increase deficits and Democrats the ones who decrease deficits at the end of their time in office.  When Democrats are enter office after Republicans turned the US economy into an economic basket case, as Obama did when he took over from Bush, some initial deficit increases are warranted, but then they come down dramatically.

I see you survived Trump’s last presidency.  How is your life different today under Biden?

 

 I know you’re paying more for groceries and gasoline today. 
 

I could say you’re portfolio took a dive during Biden’s first few years despite doing better today.

 

I say could but won’t because the markets go up and down for various reasons regardless of who is President.  Cyclical, similar to Global Warming.

You saw the clusterf— on TV under Biden the same way I did.  If he would of followed Trump’s guidelines what we saw would not of happened.

 

Especially the weapons and hardware and more importantly lost American lives.

To make sure the peace deal would be easy to negotiate, Trump did not include the Afghanistan government in his negotiation of the Afghanistan "peace" deal. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-taliban-peace-deal-agreement-afghanistan-war

 

Can Trump supporters understand why that was a bad idea?

Trump won 10 out of the last 11 polls. Biden is finished. Old puppet put in place by the deep state to keep the money flowing and wars going.

I watched Trump at one of his recent rallies, on Fox (courtesy of Youtube). To quote him: 'the last election was stolen from us and we're not going to let the 2024 election get stolen again'.  This is a con man speaking, a circus ring master. He ADMITTED that he lost the 2020 election ( to a man you call senile). But his personality disorder is so screwed up, he cannot 'man up' as you Americans say, and admit it, in public, to his fans. It is difficult to understand how sane people can consider him a safe pair of hands to look after the future of the USA, in a world where the main players include Putin, Kim, Xi. I love them...they love me. As the frmer intelligence officer described Trump, at CIA headquarters - ''me-me-me-me-me-me-me ''.
