Liberal Democratic Pomp, VS Republican Promises

[Dee]

I've watched this crap for years. Liberalism is "window dressing". They want the position, they want the power but they don't want the commitment.
They enjoy spending other people's money,, but its always on useless programs that look good, but duplicate some useless program already in place.  And accomplishes nothing.

Republicans on the other hand are promisers of more important things that matter to the people.
They're against things like abortion, but given the chance to end it. Do nuthin but promise, and put such issues on "the back burner".
They sometimes lower taxes, and very adept at starting endless wars, that somebody elses kids fights, which help the economy.

And then there are presidents like Trump.
Well, actually there has only been one president like Trump, and that was Trump himself.
The most narcissistic human being I've ever witnessed in the white house.
A person whom constantly brags on what he has accomplished, but actually did. Eho constantly complains about the fake news, but is right, and who was constantly investigated for wrongdoing, but never actually caught.
A president who constantly did what he said he would do. There was a first.

Yes, he in my view is "obnoxiously narcissistic".
But he'd have to be, to keep functioning in such an environment.

Holding slacker countries feet to the fire to do their part, when it's never been done before takes narcisistic self confidence. But it worked.

Calling Republicans and Democrats lazy, lying, sponges is never popular in DC, especially when true.

But paying under 2 dollars for gas was popular.
And calling countries out that were supposed to be our friends, but never really were, that wasn't popular either.

And how about putting Mexico on notice for violating our borders, that never happened before. But it worked.

Now a lot of folks wish he was back. Hell, I wish he'd never left.
By the time the next election comes around, Trump will be less than a year from being 80 years old.
I think Americas' ship of opportunity may have sailed.

If I had the voice, I say:

AMERICANS! WHAT THA HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN FOR?

But who listens to old men?

[NH Yankee]

Referring to your last sentence, old men learned the hard way what works and what does not work in life but we now have a generation that has been pampered and told that they are better than others.  I was brought up on a privy, cold water, horse drawn equipment and a ford fergusion and learned to appreciate that life has gotten easier but many of the brats today do not know "not having" every convience.   A depression might be what is needed to make them appreciate what they have.

[Casull]

Well said, Dee.

[Dee]

Well said, Dee.

Thanks, I'm sure some will disagree, but its how I see it.

If the Democrats get their way,We'll be Back to no running water,and Fergusons... course you won't have Fuel for It....

The next Depression, is Gonna make the 1930's,,Look like the Good ol Days...

Think I'd mostly agree,  still didn't like the man. When you stir up the mud it is hard to see anything but the mud.

Sometimes you have to decide what’s best for the country and Donald Trump is it regardless of what you think of him personally.

No. Actually we agree on a lot.
Even if we do piss down the others back at times...

Now, that IS a fact.

  Right on Dee !  Trump was all of those things..a braggart, a narcisist, a bloviator and hard-nosed negotiator.

  ...But he got things accomplished..our nation was better, stronger, more respected by friends, and more feared by our enemies, than it had been in decades...maybe ever !

   Those who were for or against him, excluding are the "never think of voting out of party" types, were either for or against him...were either moved by logic or emotion !

  Those driven by logic, had said for years that we needed a hard-nosed businessman, who knew how to deal with tough customers (foreign leaders).  We also kept ij mind, we were voting for a PRESIDENT and ta PASTOR !

  Those motvated by emotion, simply couldn't get past the idea that he talked "locker-room" stuff on an airplane, or was willing to call an ugly woman ugly.
  Guess it never occured to them that he may be speaking truth !  Perhaps they still don't consider Rosie O'Donnel either fat or ugly ! 

   For this spoiled generation..if they manage to launch communism in this last bastion of freedom, they can forget their pampered years, when Mommy did everything for them, and they could sit on theoir fat donkeys and play video games ! 
   Those days will be over, and the Ferguson will belong to the collective..and in turn, the government !

  "THey will OWN NOTHING..and be happy!"  ...Just like a goldfish in a bowl !

  Perhaps they are interested in those classic 1950s cars that are still running around Cuba..

[Casull]

I think I heard it best when someone said that his supporters took him substantively, while his opponents took him literally.

[Dee]

They'll take free money, steal clothes, tennis shoes, and beer. But before they leave they'll burn your store.
But don't be callin a spade a shovel. That's racist, and homophobic.

[Dixie-Dude]

Trump was probably like General Patton.  Brash but actually got things done, by moving fast to keep the Germans from digging in.  I really miss the $1.69 gas I bought from Sam's club.  Last week I paid $3.05 and Biden has only been in office a little over 9 months.  God help us. 

[darkgael]

There is a lot of truth in that.

[Mule 11]

There aren’t many sales at the grocery store either. I sure miss the economy and sense of freedom under President Trump.
I do appreciate bidens long list of accomplishments though. Higher murder and crime rates, higher prices, more human and drug trafficking, Afghanistan disgrace, vax mandates, open borders, etc...
Butt hey. Investigate those terrorists errrr parents at school board meetings.

Smooth, kind to your feelings talkers always seem to have a preference to American voters.  Trump is a very big narcissist. He was blunt, and many times just spoke his mind.  Its what many didn't like about him, and its why many voted for Biden. Disregarding the fact that Trump does love America, and he did what he could to preserve freedoms, and help America prosper.  On the other hand the person they voted for hates America, and he is living proof of that, but he isn't a narcissist. He has had 48 years in politics to learn how to make people like him by his smooth talking.   Anyway no matter what Trumps character is, America still voted for Trump to be its president. Trumps presidency was stolen from him, from America. and given to Biden.  I'm 100% convinced of that.

I don't think that many voted for Biden. Fraud in the election is what I believe.

[Mule 11]

I am also 100% convinced it was stolen...

That is right Dee. I don't think a guy with dementia that hid in his basement instead of campaigning got anywhere near 80 million votes. He was probably easily given 20 to 30 million of those.

[ulav8r]

Before the election, Bumbles was showing signs of beginning dementia.  My wife was saying his wife should be ashamed of supporting his campaign.  Apparently it was worse than was apparent.  Based on my mother's dementia, I know some days are much better than others.  I hate to think that they are only allowing him out on his better days.

I never liked Trump, but I voted for him both times.  Though I don't like him, I loved most of what he accomplished.

[Dee]

My mother, and her mother had dementia. You are exactly right. Some days you'll wonder if its you that are losing your mind.
Other days you'll wonder what happened to yesterday.
Dementia is a cruel disease, and the wife and myself, many times have wondered why Bidens wife would put ole Joe on display to the world to be ridiculed.
She's a real piece of trash.

[nw_hunter]

I agree with both your statements. For the first time in modern history we had a chance to elect a President who was not a politician. We did it once, and the results were positive. They did their best to steal it the first time and failed. Second go around they succeeded, and the country has suffered horribly for it.

And your second statement is spot on! What kind of wife would allow her mentally sick husband to be used in such a fashion. Same with the head of the Catholic church. Demeaning his faith, by calling Biden a devout Catholic. What does this say to the faithful?

[Dee]

Well, I don't expect anything but "holey stuff" coming out of the Vatican.
That guys been proving himself to be a fool since the first day he moved in.

From what I understand she was his baby sitter and somehow (ahem) became his concubine. So. Used to (sniff, sniff) submitting to what works best for her. Also the wife of his friend. Musta been his best friend as he ended up with his wife. Really. This is old and sad news. More to com...
