[quote=mike340;1251806]I consider Hillary the most "despicable" of them all.

Many/most political "contests" have criticism of the opponents. But I remember NO election where a candidate denigrated the constituency of the opposing party until this one.

I was a Democrat and then switched to Republican in 1981. Until 2016 I felt one could have a reasonable conversation between people of the different parties. Now all the Republicans I know are afraid of telling anyone they're Republican. That is not at all true for the Democrats I know. Hillary has single-handedly made communication impossible by reducing Republicans to "despicables" in the eyes of Democrats. And, as well all know, despicable people don't need to be listened to.

As far as why I became a Republican: in 1981, I was working as an actuary and heard all the partisan rhetoric about the Tax Act of 1981. But because of what I was doing at work, I actually had to read the entire document. When I was done, I realized that the Democrats portrayal of it was extremely distorted (for their own ends) and the Republican portrayal was quite loyal to what the act said. Between that and the Democrats ridiculous demands that the tax system should not be reformed (no movement of tax brackets with inflation?) I could no longer be a Democrat.

Hillary's "despicable" remark made it impossible to vote for her, as it also reminded me of the Inquisition. ("You will believe like I do or you're dead or garbage.")

In addition, I lived in Boston from 1975-1989 and saw the beginning of the career of John Kerry. I remember thinking at the time that he was an enemy of the U.S. (I was still a Democrat at that time.) Whenever he traveled he always made sure to visit our worst enemies and do photo ops with them. He also always spoke well of them.

Combine that with the fact that the Obama administration started up relations with Cuba who had tried to kill our family and my father in particular (bomb under his desk that someone else set off) because he was the Chief Consul at our town in Venezuela, and that one of my best friends in elementary school lost his father (an ambassador) to assassination by the Cubans: this action also made it impossible to vote Democratic. Maybe if there had been a change in regime, but it was still run by the same family (the even-worse brother of Fidel, Raul.)

Years ago I had great hopes for Ross Perot's new party until Patrick Buchanon abused the rules to get the nomination. I was hoping for a new centrist party.

In the end, I was happy Trump won last time since it would (hopefully) give the Republicans a message that we don't want religion controlling the platform. My hope was that an old-style Republican party would re-emerge, focusing on smaller government, and not controlled by the religious "hard-liners.

So, hopefully, no one will rip me a new one for this post, but since all my posts up to now have been ignored, I may be pretty safe after all.[/quote]

Hey mike, hope all is good with you. I didn’t reply to your coronavirus posts because I know you were providing data but it looked like something out of the matrix with a wall of numbers.

As to this post, you do you man. I can understand if you voted for trump thinking he would help separate the Republican Party from the religious right .... but I find it absurd that you blame democrats for blocking trump. Republicans controlled both senate and house for 2 years.

Any reasonable and intellectually honest person can’t blame dems for trump cow toeing to the religious right. That’s his base, he has embraced that. Pence was brought on to reinforce that.

Just my opinion. I don’t think you are being objective or honest. Which is cool. That’s fine. Your life, your thoughts, your vote.

Do you. But I find most of your reasoning to be tunnel visioned and not intellectually objective.

Which cool. Cheers

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

I should say I find your political reasons to be bias .... I am sorry to hear about your personal experiences, those type of events would certainly shape my world view more than Hillary one time using the term “deplorable”. Your personal story can never be bias or wrong because you lived it and only you get to decide how you view and grow in life from your past experiences.

The Trump Administration wants to include $337m in its next coronavirus relief bill to pay for a renovation of the White Houses’ West Wing.

The administration says the work would “increase the White House campus’s ability to detect, mitigate and alleviate external security and pandemic threats.”

The nearly $400m sum, included in the draft aid legislation from Senate Republicans, would cover a new security screening facility for the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in the White House complex.

Officials said other necessary work includes renovations to electrical and information technology infrastructure and unspecified security improvements.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

337M .. lol thats nothing. Small fries.

McConnell tried to slip in a 1.8 BILLION dollar package to renovate the FBI building in downtown DC. You know, the one that since 2012 was being planned to be torn down and moved to the more secure and cost friendly area in the suburbs.

That was the plan ... until Trump became president and intervened. Not wanting the current old building torn down bc most likely a luxury hotel would be built there. A luxury hotel that would rival his hotel just 2 blocks away.

Im sure Trump, who just loves the deep swamp FBI, isnt doing it for his own benefit and truly cares about .... I cant even think of a reason/lie why he is trying to block the move honestly.

I struggle to comprehend how 40% of my countrymen can support him. I have to remind myself what is right for me or how I think is only right for me. Each one of us has their own unique story. I cant diminish or dismiss their thoughts or feelings just as I hope they wont diminish or dismiss mine.

Sounds about right. How do the deaths effect him personally? Not at all. When your world revolves around yourself, the only way the 'rona could affect him is if he catches it and has to be hospitalized.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

President Trump on Thursday said he is withholding approval for a coronavirus relief package because Democrats want to include funds for mail-in voting.

The president said Democrats want $25 billion for the U.S. Postal Service, [B]$3.5 billion of which would be used to shore up infrastructure amid logistical challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is predicted to keep some voters from going to the polls in November.[/B]

“They want $3.5 billion for something that will turn out to be fraudulent, that’s election money basically,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “They want $25 billion, billion, for the post office. Now, they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. Now, in the meantime, they aren’t getting there. [B]By the way, those are just two items. But if they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting[/B].”

Priorities.

Need to make sure the SC can confirm Trump as the next president, while also making sure it leans conservative for the next 40 years. No way they would prioritize helping average Joe's in desperate need over that.

Constitution

and stimulus relief bill proposed by Dems was full of bullshit and the GOP bill wasn’t big enough


But in Virginia Democrats rammed thru a sales tax increase, even when coffers were overflowed last year from the Trump tax cut. Instead of delaying the tax increase do the COVID crisis, they raised taxes anyways.

Was is it ok for Democrats to raise taxes during the COVID crisis?

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

Don't give me constitution with what happened in 2016

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

2014 republicans took control of the Senate and effectively stopped confirming President Obamas federal court nominees under Mitch McConnell. That allowed a slew of empty federal court positions to sit for Trump/McConnell.

2016 to 2020, allowed Republicans to ram through very conservative, young and inexperienced judges.

-------------------

Going forward ... if the Senate is controlled by a different party than the President, I dont think we will have any more federal court confirmations.

It is what it is.

There are more Democrats then Republicans in this Country and the gap is only widening as republicans base of older people die off and young people are turned away from the religious platform.

McConnell and Co. won this round .. but they set the table for majority rule.

Majority is democrat. Perhaps within 10-20 years, it will be democrat President and Senate for many terms.

Table is set.
