This is a ramble, because i just don't get it.

Women dying in hospital parking lots.

The policy of solving the nations woes by placing high tariifs on other nations.
(You don't hear much, as of late, about drill baby drill)

Planning to deport 21 million immigrants. Apparently, if they have some skin color, legal immigrants are included. Placing them in camps and giving them a "serial number."
And for kicks, tent cities for the homeless. Definitely out of sight. Away from commodities, of course.
They can be delivered in rations. You know, like the native americans.

Excuse me...im watching a pair of eagles hunt my property....

Talk about executing the unfaithful. Or simpy imprisoning them.

He takes no responsibility for his actions.

He bowed to putin and the world watched. He kissed Kim's ass as the world watched.
He allowed the woman he called weak and stupid to rattle him over crowd size. Crowd size. Could you imagine if someone he idolizes critiqued him, in person?

His lies are repeated so often and with such conviction that he has millions believing.
I have a brother than can do that. He is a sociopath.
Remember that in just these past weeks, the maga crowd has vehemently insisted that haitians are eating pets. They argued, showed videos and photos. They were convinced of this absurdity, because trump said so. The idea that it put people's lives in jeopardy is of no concern.

He lies about the state of the economy. (It is the best recovery in the world). He says, as he did in 2020, that the stock market will crash if she is elected. If anyone that reads this has investments, they are doing pretty well with them.
Unless of course it's trump stock. That isn't doing so well...

He lies about crime.

I could go on.
And on and on.

I won't even go into his legal woes. That's a whole thing...

So, tell me maga people. What is it? How do you support a guy with these flaws? Do you people ever listen to a full speech or interview with him? I am not an educated individual, but what comes from his mouth has no meaning. He says what floats in his aging head. He's laughable. Seriously.
And his truth social posts. Come on people. Potus? Really?

It's about one thing and policy has nothing to do with it.
The GOP machine has, for years, played the "us vs. them" game. And with Trump, they found someone who truly subscribes to that. You're either with me or you're against me.
Everything he does, and they do, is around the concept of enemy. And to get there they use fear, anger, hate, lies and oppression.
He CLEARLY can't stand on his record. According to historians he's already one of the worst performing Presidents in history. But that doesn't matter to his voters.
They've been systematically trained, like dogs, to have a visceral response around the idea of "enemies." So they're not voting for him. They're voting against "them."
Ask a Trump supporter what they're for and they'll answer with what they're against.
It's the biggest mind-fuck we've ever seen in this country. And it might succeed.

@Carla The people who yell the loudest about "freedom" are typically the people least likely to apply it to others. THEIR kind of 'freedom" is what they want.
Ynotisay · M
@MistyCee I thinking "breaking shit" is entirely accurate. There's no consideration of what it will be replaced with. They just want it broken.

I feel what ya saying his followers are a trip if he told them to they need to start selling everything they own so that the moon could turn to the sun these people would… he speaks no sense and they believe he is the savior when actual FACTS show differently they don’t care… it’s sad … and his cult will ignore any negative and twist his words to positives just to be right. When individuals lose the ability for their OWN critical thinking be It right or wrong that’s when Trump known he has them and many have lost that long long ago
Carla · 61-69, F
Indeed, @black4white. Can't blame it all on trump either. He had many enablers along the way.
Now we have this.

That's because under Biden we've been setting records for energy production!

Our AMAZING 2023 oil production numbers

The US produced more oil in 2023 than any nation ever produced in a one year span. It's funny how the right wing pretends Biden curtailed oil when in fact we set a world record, LOL!!!

the United States set a new record in 2023 by averaging 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil production, including condensate. This figure surpasses the previous US and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. What’s even more impressive is that this record-breaking trend culminated in December 2023, when average monthly U.S. crude oil production soared to over 13.3 million b/d, marking a historic milestone.

@ElwoodBlues To be honest, I'd rather Biden had curtailed oil and promoted renewables to a FAR greater degree, despite the IRA.
@Illyria I hear you. I think, hidden in the reports, is the " including condensate" number, which I take to mean natural gas. Natural gas has about 1/2 the carbon footprint of coal, 2/3 that of oil, so it could be worse. I don't know what percent of our production is natural gas though.
BRAVA! ALL YOU SAY IS TRUE
be ready for the catcalls of sycophants and those that wish we lived in 1890
we must vote, in record numbers,, not just the POTUS office but every congressional ansd senatorial race
i love watching Eagles too
I don't disagree.

One point that likely gets eye rolls outside the US though is this naive idea that Trump is somehow an exception by being chummy with unsavoury leaders.

This is a decades long American tradition.

Be it Kim or Pinochet, Rhodesia, Apartheid South Africa, or Boris Yeltsin, various Saudi Kings....and the list goes on and on.
@Patriot96 Heck Canada and the US used Syria to outsource torture until Gitmo was up and running.
@Patriot96 The fact you have no idea what is going on going back to the 70s is a you problem.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That fits perfectlt with the US tradition of being a maker and seller of weapons of war . And always looking for places to demonstrate them..😷

And more than likely he's going to be reelected and finish destroying what little is left of this pitiful broken country.
Carla · 61-69, F
@Repete there is no way he hasn't been briefed on p2025. Whether he remembers is another question.
It's 900 pages. He may have read some of them. If they had his name on them.
Repete · 61-69, M
@Carla he has a great way of remembering things the way he wanted or wants them to be and totally calling everything else a lie or fake news. He’s the biggest spreader of fake news. 😂

Carla, step away from the weed and CNN. You need serious help.
SpudMuffin · 61-69, M
@TexChik ok, that's the childish remarks out of the way. Can you answer the question?
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
A woman dying in a parking lot is tragic. Sounds like an unsubstantiated story. Poor decisions on her part.
Tarifs? Trying to even playing field for american workers and consumers.
China in taking advantage of senile Joe and useless Harris

@Patriot96 can you actually answer the question?
Carla · 61-69, F
