Yeah, one in my office was asked what she liked about Trump.
Well as someone that lives and travels the Heartland I will argue that your full of sh!t with things aren't happening with manufacturing in the USA.
LOL, Im down in Mississippi for a bit and on Friday, we went to the Civil Rights Museum in Jackson. Some of the view points that I was told from other folks that were visiting and that worked there were very very interesting with opinions of the new President and DOGE.
I’m going to agree with him on his point with Ukraine and Russia. I think Trump thought he had more pull with Putin than he had and it didn’t work out that way. If he gets it done within 6-12 months with a fair deal I’ll still count it as a win.
repeating it, maybe you’ll believe it. Nobody else will.
In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy a secure border, no more money flush down the toilet on endless wars, fraud being rooted out of every crevice of government bureaucracy, the Democrats money laundering operation with taxpayer dollars coming to an end, someone finally attacking the chemical industry of the food supply, the FBI, CIA, justice department, and others finally being reigned in.
Yeah, you go on with your bad self, lamenting all of that.
but it's just irritating to watch people claim something, then demonstrate the exact opposite. I don't respond well to that.
It's *what* you criticize. "He didn't get this thing done on Day 1 like he said he would, the liar." That's silly, especially since we can actually see him working on it; it's his opponents who refuse to be reasonable.
The judges thing - that's an unreasonable criticism. Lower court judges don't have jurisdiction over the federal government, and even federal judges don't have power over the President or Congress. Especially when what they're trying to ding Trump on are existing laws that he is merely directing officials to follow.
There were a couple more that made me think you were grasping hard to find something to be mad at Trump over.
Nothing wrong with that. But when you are contrary just to be contrary, you're going to get pushback. It's like Newt Gingrich and the Contract With America:
Oh, I hate that Gingrich and his contract on America!
Which of the specific reforms do you disagree with?
.... .... .... (silence)
Lefties would bring it up on here occasionally to retro criticize the GOP and I'd always ask them what specifically they disagreed with, and I never one single time got an answer. And the reason is because they had no idea what they were talking about, just bitching to hear themselves.
This person:
Why do I criticize Trump so much if I'm conservative? I expect better from GOP. | Opinion
Readers wonder why I criticize Trump so much if I'm conservative. The Republican Party will become weaker if we're unwilling to point out blemishes.www.usatoday.com
He says he is a conservative, but really he's a Never Trumper cultbot. "Why is it so bad to criticize my party or the people leading it?" It's not *that* he's criticizing, it's *what* he's criticizing. All those pundits who claim to be Republicans, then sht all over every single Republican who isn't part of the corrupt entrenched elite while bemoaning Trump wanting laws to be enforced, which one would think is a cornerstone of conservative ideology.
I disagree with Trump on things, you just disregard it so you can insist I march in lockstep. One is I think Trump should stay out of the Ukraine/Russia thing, let those two tards work it out and have Europe referee. And Trump seems to be realizing his folly because he's signaling that the US will back off, which of course also makes the bots keen in the streets.
Trump's mistakes come about when he thinks corrupt slimy deranged shitbags are reasonable people who want peace and prosperity for their country, whether it's the US or somewhere else.
Anyway, I went off on a tangent
That's fair. I wasn't necessarily calling you out as much as some others that I know. I really was calling out the republican congress who is so afraid of being primaried that they won't dare oppose anything he says. Particularly Mike Johnson who even before Trump became President was sucking up to him. People always said democrats in congress march in lockstep, with good reason. Republicans now do the same.
I read your link and I agree with him. You seem to just want to dismiss anyone who criticizes Trump by calling them a Never Trumper or a Rino. He makes good points. The MAGA movement is one that is Populist and Isolationist. No problem if you believe in that, but it is not conservatism. The MAGA movement could actually be a separate party from the Republican party, but that would be suicide for the Republican party and would probably hand dems an easy road. We shall see what happens in the mid terms. I think the republican house is going to be eviscerated, because independents are now headed the other way. But many people thought the same thing for the dem house under Biden and that red wave never happened. Still, the current republican party is split between true conservatives and what the party is now.
I disagree with the judiciary a lot, as nowhere within the Constitution are they given authority for "judicial review". That is an unchecked power they declared for themselves. It has been explained to you several times that the inferior courts have no authority outside of their jurisdiction, Their districts have been defined and that is where they can wield their authority, the circuit courts equally have a defined area of jurisdiction and their opinions only apply within that defined jurisdiction. For cases of national implication it is solely the Supreme Court that is authorized to opine and in doing so they cannot make law (think Roe v Wade) as that violates the separation of powers doctrine of the Constitution..
I'm going to disagree with this statement. Compromise is the lubricant that allows disparate groups to work together without undue friction.
