Don’t elect felons

It would appear that a majority of the American people did not feel that way, ergo he got elected.

@soar2newhighs good luck to them now
@Kypro If you mean those who voted for him, we will be fine. Joe wasn’t wanted by his own cabal( handlers) and Kamala was not by any means fit to be a president, and we aka “ them” did not want a failure in 1600 .

@soar2newhighs well trump was already a failure and you put him back in
@KyproAnd who would you have preferred?

Your beliefs about Trump being a felon must stand on an altar of political naïveté.

Wake up to the reality that politics has been is now and most likely will be a dirty, hardball, underbelly aspect of American life

And if you are under any illusions that there are no felons in the party of your choice, I again respectfully urge you to ,wake up!
And if Trump isn’t your cup of tea, so be it, but he is the PRESIDENT , much to the dismay of many.

@soar2newhighs no I don’t accept him a valid choice. That’s why the constitution bans treasonous people from running. I’ve voted since 1984 so not too naive.
@soar2newhighs Actually, the majority of Americans voted for someone other than Trump.
@BohemianBabe And who was that?
@soar2newhighs Harris-Walz, third parties, and write-ins.
Trump did win the popular vote, but it was a relative majority, not an absolute majority.
@BohemianBabe Well your choices didn’t make it( Thank God) So, you will have to live under this administration. But if you enjoy comedy, you can hope and pray that Joe, now having been signed by an acting agency; will perform as a puppet. He was great at that until his own ilk kicked him to the curb.
@soar2newhighs That's nice, but it's beside the point. The point is that the majority of Americans did not vote for Trump.
Also, I'm living in Germany right now. So I'm not going broke under Trumpflation, like you.
@BohemianBabe Stay there. This way you won’t have to worry and fret over Trump. And make sure you get in whatever anti right marches take place, there.
On the positive side…enjoy the beer. I hear they are good at brewing it.
@soar2newhighs Well I am concerned for the working-class in America. You like that Republicans are hurting other workers, but these policies are going to harm you too.

@BohemianBabe How is he going to do that to me?
@soar2newhighs Do you think massive inflation won't affect you? How about cutting social programs so billionaires can get more subsidies? How about the mass firings of workers who regulated airports and subways?

Maybe you're a cishet white man, so you won't be targeted like women or minorities. But you'll still suffer under the economic and authoritarian policies of MAGA.
@BohemianBabe I doubt that.
Massive inflation already has…courtesy of the previous administration.
I don’t advocate cutting social programs except where there is fraud.
Politicians have always pandered to the rich.
No doubt being you’re a socialist you very likely though it was right for Biden to tell the wealthy to pay their fair share. Am I correct? Now I wonder and perhaps you should too; if when he was running, and went to NYC to solicit monetary backing which he got ($25m) from wealthy New Yorkers, if as he had his hands out, did he at that point , tell them to pay their fair share?
What do you think?
@soar2newhighs

Bruh. We all know that was because of the lockdowns, which lasted so long because Trump failed to handle covid.
Eventually, inflation went down under Biden, but now it's up again because of Trump's tariff threats.

I don’t advocate cutting social programs except where there is fraud.

But the Republicans are against social programs, so they're going to cut them and then lie about there being fraud.

Now I wonder and perhaps you should too; if when he was running, and went to NYC to solicit monetary backing which he got ($25m) from wealthy New Yorkers, if as he had his hands out, did he at that point , tell them to pay their fair share?
What do you think?

Depends who he was talking to. Like most centrist Democrats, Biden tailored his message for the audience.
But either way, Biden's policies were pretty good for the working-class. Not great, but he was certainly more pro-worker than most presidents have been. And needless to say, he was a hundred times better than Musk and Trump.

@Kypro He was not convicted of Treason and the FBI never declared the events of Jan 6th as an insurrection.

@BohemianBabe wow ! You certainly are delusional , Trump has been in office for a little over a month and you think all should be fixed by now ? I’m a truck driver and remember paying over $5 a gallon for fuel at one point a couple years ago after Biden had been in office a while and you say he was for the working class ? What about stopping all oil production on US territory just before he left office ? And I could go on with more policies he put in place to hurt the working class especially the high inflation
@Jake966

Not what I said. I said that things are getting worse under Trump, which I'm sure you're aware of.

I’m a truck driver and remember paying over $5 a gallon for fuel at one point a couple years ago after Biden had been in office a while and you say he was for the working class ?

Once again, inflation was a result of Trump failing to handle covid. Nobody was driving during the pandemic, so the cost of oil plummeted into the negatives. When Biden ended the pandemic, the price of oil shot up. That's basic economics.

What about stopping all oil production on US territory just before he left office ?

That's a lie, which you probably heard on Fox. Biden actually had record oil production. America was closer to energy independence under Biden than under Trump.
@soar2newhighs
Then answer why his own party, handlers, call them what you will basically forced him out of the race.

Because he was sundowning. His policies were still good.

See, you're in a cult where you worship Trump. You don't care about policy, you only care about Trump winning so that you can OWN THE LIBS.

But I'm not in a cult. I can acknowledge that Biden was sundowning and had no business running for reelection, but the policies he passed were good.
Jake966 · 56-60, M
@BohemianBabe policies Biden passed were good !? Really ? Inflation the highest it’s ever been , gas prices higher than they have ever been , handing countries billions while telling the American people FEMA is broke and can not help them ? FEMA is broke because his administration used that money to give to other countries . All the wasteful spending we are finding out about now and you say he had good policies ? And then just before he left office he stopped American drilling and pumping oil ? How about his mandate of all autos being electric by 2035. ?

@Jake966 you’re incorrect on all those.
