Remind us, which candidate
* Promised a tax cut that pays for itself;
* Promised to replace Obamacare with something better and cheaper that covers everyone;
* Promised a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure spending;
* Promised "We're going to see economic growth of 4, 5 & maybe 6%!";
* Promised to reduce deficit and eventually balance the budget;
* Promised to reduce prices of prescription drugs;
* Promised he had made the world safe from Kim Jong Un's missiles;
* Promised to LOCK HER UP!
* Promised to make Mexico pay for that wall;
* Promised to release his tax returns;
* Promised to cut the number of tax brackets, repeal the alternative minimum tax,eliminate the carried interest loophole, and allow individuals to deduct health care insurance premiums from taxes.
That's several trillion dollars worth of broken promises there, LOL!!

@ElwoodBlues And democrats blocked every one! Your TDS is showing! You should talk to someone about that.

@fanuc2013 BULLLSHITTT!!!

Trump got his tax cut - it produced EVEN YUGER deficits!!

Trump NEVER OFFERED an Obamacare replacement. He kept on saying "two more weeks!" The promise was a lie.

Trump & the republicans NEVER OFFERED an infrastructure bill. The promise was a lie.

As for GDP growth, that was a promised outcome that never happened. It was a lie.

Trump's deficit reduction was actually deficit growth due to a tax cut that wasn't balanced with revenue cuts. Voodoo economics fails again!!!

Prescription drug price reduction? Trump tried to jawbone some pharma CEOs, nothing changed. The promise was a lie.

Kim Jong Un's missiles??
In 2019, NK launched missiles on May 4 & 9, July 25 & 31, August 2 & 24; Sept 10, Oct 2 & 31, and Nov 28. Some of those days had two launches. Trump got totally suckered by that guy!

Lock her up?? Trump's 112,000 person Dept of Justice never filed a single charge against Hillary.

Mexico pay for the wall?? Don't make me laugh!!!

Release his tax returns?? You gotta be kidding!!!

Graylight · 46-50, F

@fanuc2013 Patently false. We blocked tax returns? We blocked tax relief? We blocked the very infrastructure we ended up passing?

Ijit. You support a failed authoritarian racist. There are no words that will ever make that sound intelligent.

Graylight · 46-50, F

First, relax.

How does Biden suck and how is he full of it, specifically?
How are the Democrats corrupt, specifically?
How are Republicans out of touch, specifically?

We have a military stronger than the next ten [i]combined[/i]. We have shores very, very hard to invade. No one's talking about war, nor have the countries you've mentioned stated any intention of destroying us.

If you're worried, vote. If you're worried, go canvassing. If you're worried, volunteer or run for office or start a blog. If you're worried, name the fears, check that they are objectively legitimate and take action. Otherwise,

@Graylight unfortunately, there are those that will never be convinced that they have been duped. perhaps the suit against Fox will "convert" some, but, I bet the 30% who have been brainwashed, and fed the anger and hatred, will stay convinced.

Unlike the republicans who are so not corrupt at all.
🙄
I don’t think sides matter anymore.

NO. The USA have too many countries on our payroll to ever lose to China and Putin. The world is changing it's no longer Industry it's Innovation and although we aren't always the best we are pretty dang close to it.

Graylight · 46-50, F

@LostNForgotten This assumes innovation is the ultimate benchmark for success.

LostNForgotten · M

@Graylight I think it is. I think innovation and logistics, is today the revolutionary force like industry was in the twentieth century.

Graylight · 46-50, F

@LostNForgotten Okay. And just because it's the lunch hour... I'm pretty much on the same page with you regarding innovation, but where does it take us? To lower population levels? To solutions to problems we should've been smart enough to avoid? To more targeted advertising? More efficient online shopping?

When you take a close, hard look, innovation has done little but quicken the pace in our race against mortality.

DragonFruit · 61-69, M

I trust myself to find out what I can and vote accordingly.
I have voted in every election since the age of 19. Some people say that they refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils....had I done that I probably would never have voted for any candidate.
I always vote for candidates that I perceive as the lesser of two evils. Sometimes most voters agree with me and sometimes not.
There are flaws in the election system....but what better system would you propose to determine who leads the country?

@samueltyler2 1971....when I was 16.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@DragonFruit thanks. I just reviewed the story of how that happened. Very interesting.

fanuc2013 · 46-50, F

@samueltyler2 1971.

texasborn89 · 31-35, M

forget ten years. I highly doubt we will be 10 years from now probably not even 5 or 3 years actually. this world can't and won't last for too much longer. people aren't even aware of what's coming soon and will be completely shocked and caught off guard by it. nuclear war will happen soon probably this year sometime

@texasborn89 I would like to be at ground zero.

texasborn89 · 31-35, M

@Graylight we've never been this close to nuclear war...

texasborn89 · 31-35, M

@Diotrephes me too lol at least it instant and painless

Entwistle · 51-55, M

The illusion of democracy. What choice do you really have if all the candidates are arseholes?

BohemianBoo · 18-21, M

That's why the public needs to be involved in politics as much as possible and we need more transparency.

WhisperingAngel · F

I trust Biden to do this.
Biden reveals he will RAISE taxes in his March 9 budget as he ups war on billionaires - but insists he won't make Americans earning less than $400,000 'pay a penny more'

@Diotrephes Funny thing. I just watched you make a positive assertion, and someone else dismiss it. This is the point where you would be expected to prove it, but you won't.

Diotrephes · 70-79, M

@LordShadowfire Real Americans do know at least one or two things that are in the federal constitution. Which foreign country are you based in?

Article 1 Section 7 = "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills."
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei#section1

So, per the federal constitution, the President may express a desire to raise or lower taxes but he has to get his stooges in the House of Representatives to write it in a bill, which has to be approved by the House and the Senate before he can make it happen by signing it into law.

If you are a real American you should know that basic fact. If you are a foreigner then you should Google the topic before commenting on it so that you won't appear to be completely ignorant about the topic. Otherwise you will expose yourself as a foreigner.
