But it won’t matter to the converted, @thunderbolt23…
The reality of Trump is often followed by defensive dribble like: “He delivers, and gives us what we want!” “We elected a PRESIDENT, not a Saint!” "But he shook up Washington and “drained the swamp!”…
It never ends and never will…and right now, the far Left seems to be making Trump Nut-Hanging more and more attractive, not less…
It all can be infuriating…
Actually, it seems that Trump understands GOP and modern “conservatives” better than they do themselves.
He’s careful not to cross the only red line that matters to them - SC justices. It seems that if he delivers (and he has so far) in that regard, they’re willing to ignore literally everything else, from tax dodging to 200k (and counting) dead from Covid.
Oh, I agree, it’s a cult. I gave up on them years ago. But there are a lot of “voted for Trump in 2016” voters that are persuadable, and this is the kind of stuff that shows what we’re truly dealing with here. Whether it’s the fraud, or the hypocrisy, or the national security threat, we need to clean (White) (H)ouse in November.
I don’t disagree with you on much, my friend…
But it just all “feels” (once again) that the momentum is with Trump.
I believe you’re right about disqualification for sensitive posts–and for good reason. You don’t want secrets given away in return for making debt disappear. So many questions raised.
I’m honestly surprised at how bad Trump has performed–I knew he exaggerated for effect, and I knew he was more marketer than manager, but seeing how deep in the hole he is is surprising. Tax returns obviously don’t show the whole story, but man…looks like he didn’t learn from his 90s bomb out. The image I was left with was one of a Ponzi scheme with Trump trying to stay ahead of collections. Con man indeed.
EDIT–It’s quite obvious that Trump cannot manage anything. The best performing part of his portfolio besides Trump Tower: a business he has no management responsibility in. Ouch.
Haven’t the Saudi’s (or one of those Oil Wells with a Country on Top)…“bailed” Trump out in the past?
I have heard estimates (by insiders) of his net worth only being a couple hundred million. He may owe more than he has (I may be richer than Trump LOL).
Is it possible that the reason he has been so hesitant to shut things down, and want to open quickly is that it is the only way he stays afloat? His businesses are likely hurting because of the shutdowns and capacity limits. That would be a conflict of interest for sure.
Him winning might be the only thing that keeps him from being broke or in prison.
Rumors are that his campaign is low on money. Ads are not being run in several swing states that look to be swinging blue (or at least the quantity of ads is low). I haven’t seen hardly any Trump ads in MN.
Yes - I think equal to the story of that he appears to be a tax cheat is that he is a complete failure as a businessman. Over and over. That’s not liberal or conservative - it’s a terrible non-partisan truth that says he shouldn’t run the federal government.
100%. A classic reason someone so deeply in debt should not be in charge of policy. Too many conflicts of interest and NatSec risks.
Tax returns don’t show net worth, but it wouldn’t surprise me. You really should read the Times article I posted above. It goes into all kind of details.
Agreed, that’s one thing that stuck out to me. When almost all your core businesses are losing millions year over year, you shouldn’t make overtures about how great of a business mind you have.
The other thing that sticks out to me is that his business acquisitions seem to lack foresight as well. So not only does he seem not to be able to make POTUS decisions with long term thinking, his SOP has been doing the same thing with his business purchases for decades now–they’re also controlled by his ego more than anything: hence why he has to keep the scheme going, to stay afloat.
Here’s the most recent example. An Asian dictatorship decided to restart a war after a 25 year hiatus. What would be the underlying motivation for such a move? Maybe, just maybe they felt emboldened after having spent some petty cash at a hotel owned by you-know-who.
That’s what you get when the POTUS is perceived as a low-level grifter.
Yes, I did. How else would I have known the guys who submitted the report.
The Hill is a left-wing rag, no better than the NYT. It activism journalism, like the rest. I use them for as one my left-wing sources. When I want to know what the left says, I go to The Hill.
Which one of his policies? He’s mentioned several. Did you read the Biden-Sanders contract? That’s different than the policy in the piece.
Now your just trying to mess with me. Biden doesn’t write any of his own shit. He can’t barely get out of his basement. When the world exploded after the Taylor grand jury announcement, where was he? Basement.
You can make the same claims about the CCP. Did you even look at the Biden-Sanders contract?
That’s a totally different economic policy, complete with the Green New Deal and 4 trillion in new taxes. So which policy is Biden going to implement, the one his campaign actually put out, or the one The Hill liked the best of his many proposed policies?
See, Biden’s campaign has put out many economic policies, many conflict with one another, which one should I believe is going to be implemented?
Well? I gave you what you asked for. Overwhelming evidence.
You said you were waiting and I didn’t want to keep you waiting too long, so I presented some evidence. So what, nothing? Why aren’t you telling me I am wrong? Or twisting it to make it so that Trump is making his own ballots disappear so that it looks like the democrats are trying to cheat or some kind of BS, because he’s playing 7D chess, all over the country.
Really… and what is your skeptic meter telling you?
If there’s one source I trust to give it to me straight it’s the NYT. Especially if they have Trumps tax returns.
Oh, they don’t?
Well then, the tax data they claim to have is probably just as good, especially since they share the data.
Oh, they don’t?
Never mind any of that. This is more good journalism seeking to inform the electorate. How else would we know that Trump is a Russian asset who stole the election to nominate gang rapists to the Supreme Court? How else would we know about the looming white supremacist menace amidst a summer of peaceful protests? How else would we know that American institutions are racist to the core and actively seek to murder black men?
It is more important now than ever to take everything negative about Trump at face value. There couldn’t possibly be more to the story.
#resistance
No, you didn’t. And more besides, you have examples of ballots with errors, which are not examples of fraud or mishandling.
But in any event, over to you Director Wray:
Yep, those strait shooters who brought you never ending, irrefutable evidence for Russia Collusion. Those stalwarts of journalism that told us the protests were “peaceful” over and over and over again…
Oh yeah.
Hilarious. Next time just say “I have no idea.”
I’m waiting…
It seems rather silly to argue that Mail-in voting is an inherently secure process. Maybe that’s due to my background in information security, or perhaps my gullible nature that’s led to my indoctrination into The Cult of Trump.
Here’s an open question. Who here would be comfortable conducting all of your financial transactions by sending and receiving envelopes stuffed with cash via the US Postal Service?
