    So you want to take Trump down because Ribeyes are too expensive?    We need to do something about that 5th grade writing level. Gofundme grammar classes maybe.   

  • I heard that trump is planning to invade Australia, in order to let the Aborigines rule again.

I didn't know Biden imposed tariffs on every country and product that came up in his mind, and surely not on islands populated by pinguins.

 

You have a link for that?

When Biden imposed tariffs was your narrative "he's just taxing Americans"

 

No. No it was not. Why now?

 

Busted😅

It is very important a)what previous Presidents did/the norms, and b) how the forum hivemind reacted to it.

 

When Biden imposed tariffs it was Hooray payin' down the defecit. Whoopie!!

When Trump imposed tariffs it was as if the world was ending. It was a dishonest narrative and totally nonsensical. After the stock market kept hitting daily all time highs the tariff meltdown squad moved on to the latest manufactured outrage.

I wanted to convey a point in one of my posts: the left would have gone into an uproar if Trump had killed two US citizens with drones without due process, as Obama did. They seem to overlook executive overreach that of past administrations. This thread discusses "authoritarianism," but all they want to focus on is tariffs. If they really wanted to talk about roots of authoritarianism they would have talk about FDR. ie Exective order 9066 and executive Order 6102

Exactly. And they literally tried creating a Ministry of Truth headed by whackjob laptop denier Jankowicz to ban fact harmful to the left's narratives. Pure authoritarianism. Pure fascism. Did they voice concern then? Nope

Also, let's remind them that Joe Biden was pressuring social media sites to ban people and posts they didn't like.

Did you forget the US citizens, and families of Americans killed in Gaza in an Israeli genocide supported by Trump?

I guess you forgot that Joe Biden supported "genocide".  Then again, there is no genocide.

Critics blasts Trump admin for firing FBI agents who took knee at George Floyd protest

Choke on it': Trump dismisses outrage at his political prosecutions

I want law enforcement agents who represent me and are there to protect me kneeling on honour of a petty criminal.

 

I think those enraged at the Comey prosecution should be enraged at Fanni Willis...crickets.

 

I have no fear of authoritarianism, and this entire topic is a troll by a person so deranged by Trump that they cannot even see reality anymore....

Why you expect US law enforcement to represent someone living in a Third World country? Actually, you should be the subject of the ICE raids.\

Wow thats a pretty stupid, meaningless and childish assertion, even for you.

 

It absolutely amazing that you continually reach new depths of off topic inanity every time you hit the enter key in mommys basement.

Please somebody enlighten me: What happened to the famous "check and balances"? Not much reaches congress/senate. Trump is governing this country by "decree". How much legislation can a US president enforce without having the approval of Capitol Hill?

 

Seems to me that Trump can govern this country by decree and the folks on Capitol Hill are reduced to mere spectators. The spectators finding nothing wrong when their country is converted to an authoritarian regime.

 

Please, somebody "in the know" tell me how Trump can govern this country by decree?

Sadly no comments concerning my question. The usual social media crap involving hate speach, fake news supported by other fake news.

I must therefore conclude that US citizens are not very fluent when it comes to their "political system".

 

"Panem et Circenses". Donald promisses both.

Are you living in Beverly Hills surrounded by 2 meter high walls?  Step out in the real world and start paying attention to reliable newssources 

. If you don't want to understand what is currently happening in the US you will eventually have to try to explain that to your grandchildren. Good luck.

I don't remember anyone on the left having fits when Biden used the power of the tariff. 

Are you referring to Biden’s tariffs on Russia for their raping looting and murdering in Ukraine?

They aren’t honoring George Floyd ya dunce they are acknowledging the wrongdoing towards people of color….one of the first steps in healing the wounds caused by us whites against them.

No, I'm talking about him putting tariffs on Chinese EVs, solar panels, and other projects.  I'm surprised you're not familiar with these tariffs.  But, then again, I'm not surprised.

You should go to jail for your crimes against St. George.

We need to do something about that 5th grade writing level. Gofundme grammar classes maybe. 

 

He may want to take Trump down because his distant family in the US are asking him for more money so they can buy the ribeye??

As for his 5th grade writing level. You can follow his comments and see whenever he is typing something about Trump, his writing falters. I do not think there is any class he can take that addresses writing whilst using your hatred as a means to come up with content and maintain your writing skills.

But your real world consists of thinking everything is correct if it can make Trump look bad. If it is posted by a Dem or anti-Trumper you consider it fact. That is the sad fact of a real world for some people, especially in this forum.

Reality has become blurred with the red behind their eyes towards Trump. 

The US has not and is not any worse in using authoritarian practices within the government. Biden admin did it.  The admin before Biden did it. Jeez, I can even recall it being done 20 years ago. 

The difference is that red blur again. Only seen by Dems and Trump haters.

Im glad you brought this up. Steps towards healing. If I recall correctly you are a land owner yes ?  Why not start your own healing journey for 'us' whites. Donate a piece of your land to a black family in need ? Na would never happen.

 

For you society needs to change before you do to enforce YOUR moral code.

The left focuses on healing by utilizing funds from other people's resources, rather than its own.

Due to the violence the issue caused in Alabama.

Show me 1 past president that acted in the manner and level of controlling of the office like the current buffoon?
