Spider,

 You forgot to mention that he has now turned the US into a copy of Russia - run by the Oligarchs with DJT at the helm.  He appointed the richest that kowtowed to him to the cabinet positions - 14 being worth more than the GDP of 172 nations around the world!  The Congressional hearings on these new heads of agencies are actually a laughingstock as each shows how ignorant they are to run whatever agency they now head.   Seems one of the first things most are doing is to get rid of any senior leadership in that department that does not totally agree with the leader!  Of course this is my honest opinion of US politics today where the Supreme Court decided years ago to allow unlimited funds to pour into the election campaign chests for BOTH parties and now they seem like a UNIPARTY to me.  Hopefully, we can survive another 3+ years unless enough congress folks lose out and the dems do decide to impeach but it may be too late for too many people.  If the dollar continues to drop as some economists are predicting, it might prove difficult for some that have retired here on limited funds, IMHO and if those economists are correct of course.

Cool story bro.

It doesn't matter. The Democrats ran such a ridiculous campaign with an even more ridiculous candidate that 47 was a shoo-in. Hell, a moldy ham sandwich would have beaten Biden/Harris. And the current approval rating for Democrats overall shows they haven't learned ANYTHING and will remain in the minority for years to come. I'm hoping I'm wrong here, and 2026 will be an indicator. By then, the damage done this year will have started biting people - ESPECIALLY Republicans - in the butt, and perhaps THEN they'll start waking up to the bad place their votes put us all in. But that's assuming they have a functional brain.

How are these guys being effected.

Gas prices are down everywhere, inflation is down, proper Magas will buy American products over 'commie' Chinese stuff,  so tariffs wont effect them much either.

 

Other than daily attacks and critism of the orange Messiah, i dont see anything policy wise coming from any Dems, they dont have any clear leadership,

Another vague, boorish and vain attempt at trying to elevate yourself.

 

Spidermike makes some of the most well written posts I've seen on AN. Sometimes I don't agree but at least he can write. You on the other hand, well.. uh no.

Don't be silly, he writes in threads, the same as you, where your turmoil is Putin.......

There are so many reasons why Trump is the wrong man for the leadership of America at this time.

 

Here, let's try an experiment.

Pretend you are the president.

Make a list of 5 things you would do.

I guarantee you half the people on AN will attack you.

No matter who is in charge, there's always people who will not be happy. 

 

A lot of lower level political leaders have quit their jobs because they got tired of dealing with the hostility and hatred from the general public.

He sounds depressed. 8am to 10pm whingeing about Trump. That's not a happy person. Stocks are up 20% since April. Inflation is down. Unemployment is steady. There is no reason to claim everything is crashing. Even the dollar is higher than 5 years ago. People hide behind words or other people. He hides behind long posts.

Musk said lots of payments work like this. Dead people getting payments. Why they try to cut the waste. Contract finished 3 years ago yet still getting paid for trimming hedges around a building. Musk said heaps of things like this were happening. America would have millions of automated payments.

 

Biden is senile yet the country still functioned.

So why do people hate Trump? A Burilam bargirl could be leader and the nation would be 95% the same.
