No. That they were desperate, hopeful and trusting.


And no surprise whatsoever Trump has let them down pretty hard. Which is weird. He told them exactly what he'd do. Experts said it was stupid. All the outcomes have been bad.

And other than Republicans everyone can see through his stupidity at the reality of his policies (hes losing independents quicker than his mental faculties)
And yet we are not talking about now, are we? What the nation thinks about what he is doing now will be determined in the 2026 elections. The democratic party still spewing the same nonsense message that lost them the election because the far left still runs the party. It was the weak and stupid message from the Democratic Party that gave us Trump in the 2024 elections. Live with it.

The resistance to safe and clean is astounding.
Explain to me how you think this is a cogent argument against what has been said by those you disagree with?

How does this claim disprove their arguments

Do what you want. Its your life.

Its still bad in DC and people want something done.
So now you've abandoned reason and are trying to argue by assertion. Which is a sufficient admission for now.

I believe that in the future the ENTIRE trump presidency will be blamed on the Democrat party.

You guys are hilarious.

"People" is so vague though.

"People" think scatology is cool

"People" rhink it's okay to awxuall assault women.

"People" think the earth is flat.

"People" call the police to report back men bird watching in public parks.

I'm tired of cowtowing to "people".

He's pointing out the obvious. Every time Trump messes up, he blames Biden, Obama, Pelosi, or whichever democrat is making the most noise in his head at the time.

Is that referring to your regiatration or your position leanings?
My posting leanings go mainly, but not exclusively, against the Democratic party in this cycle because the Democratic Party message sucks. I don’t agree with a lot of things that Trump is doing and have voiced it in other threads. However, my vote for 2026 remains undecided.

He makes assumptions. The fact that Trump won in 2024 because of the terrible nonsense message from the Democratic Party happened. The Democratic Party needs to self assess and move away from the far left.

Excuses.

Trump never takes personal responsibility for the things he does. Instead, he just blames Biden or whoever. Blaming the democrat party for Trump's lack of character is pointless.

This forum is profuse with cheap political attacks clothed in righteousness against Trump.
... And?
That would have made my point as well, if they were actual cheap attack. It doesn't make your reaction any less of an example of what I was talking about.
False! It appears you have just ignored the numerous faults by the previous administration which directly led to the election of Trump.
You can cry "false" all you want, doesn't change it. A really large portion of the US electorate is very partisan, they'll vote for the candidate of their party no matter what. This also ignores that some of the "faults" were just the opposite side yelling "this is bad!" even if it wasn't and their own side taking it without further thought. And the entertainment factor still very much lived there, it's quite obvious in how Trump (not just him, but he leans a lot into it as that is what he knows) acts.
Victim of illegal law fare. A sham trial with phony trumped up charges (pun intended) with a corrupt judge. The only goal was to prevent Trump from running for President again. Tell us how that worked out for the left!
What was that you said? Umm.. oh, yes, False. Come on, that's just conspiracy theory stuff, the forum section for that is elsewhere. He had the ability to defend himself in court properly, even go to higher courts afterwards. He was convicted by juries his lawyers signed off on. He is a felon and a rapist (yes, he can be called factually that after the result of that case), you just gotta deal with the fact that, well, it doesn't matter what his character is for his supporters. Like I said, it's all just a conspiracy against him by the other side. And doesn't erase the fact that he cheated on every single wife he has ever had.
Ok so what. I didn't vote for the man he used to be , I voted for the man he is today. If lifelong purity is the standard, Washington would be a ghost town. Our God is a God of forgiveness and redemption a trait in short supply by many.
Oh no, certainly not a requirement. But it does show the character of a person how they've conducted themselves and continue to do so and whether you care about that. If we take his latest cheating on his wife for example, it ain't that long ago that he turned into a pious monk suddenly. I doubt God forgives and says you are redeemed when you haven't shown you've changed. I mean Trump himself said he has nothing to get forgiven for by God.

Out of curiosity, what would be your time limit for when you'd consider someone's behaviour relevant?
Very questionable but never the less see above comments.

How many things about the previous occupant are on the top of your mind?
The first part of that should have gone to the previous part, but oh well. Oh, usually none. But when the topic of him comes up, those certainly pop up immediately. Kinda like of anyone mentions Clinton the first thing to mind is the White House slurpie job. Or mustard suit for Obama for some reason, that always stuck me.
That was the goal of the left but the God of the universe had a different plan. Yes I really did say that!
Arguements about God are hardly meaningful when it comes to talking about people's mind, unless you're claiming that free will doesn't exist.
Nevertheless, it just shows that a politicians character and behaviour matter more in other western democracies.
He actually does what he says when allowed to by the system, He is not a typical politician which is refreshing. They (you figure out who) tried to murder him at least twice probably more, but the God of the universe spared him, (there, I've said it again) . The failures of the previous occupant was also a major factor in Trump being elected. Sure he is at times entertaining but that was no factor in his re-election.
He doesn't though. I know it's been hashed a lot here but just one word. Epstein.
They would be a Republican off his mind, the first case I believe. But again, you're just diving into conspiracy theory area there, stop it or leave it in the appropriate forum. Not healthy for you dude.

No, the entertainment factor is a factor. He's loud, rude and obnoxious and a section of the electorate loved that. He wasn't a boring politician. He was entertaining. That was a big part of his initial draw, the childish nicknames and all.
Politics is a nasty business but truth will prevail. Just hold on while some of the swamp is eliminated. The hunted is now the hunter!
Not sure how this relates to ignoring what's bad about the opposite side, the American electorate is very much guilty of that. Very few things seem to go far enough for them to go "yeah, that's bad" about their own side.
The hunted comment sounds just juvenile. This is policies and governance, not Hunger Games. Politics is boring, tedious, arguements about details and points and how to do things and generally at its best when no one is truly happy.
Your point was clouded in bias, I hope this helps. You are very welcome!
Hmm, ironic calling someone biased with what you're saying. And technically, everyone has bias. We all have our views and values. What matters is how much they align with reality and facts.
And as are you.
:bye:

Hey last year we had three hurricanes that destroyed property and killed people. This year we are having two thats destroying property and killing people. Therefore becauae it went from 3 to 2 its not an emergency. Problem solved.
Your analogy fails badly as any hurricane that hits land can be an emergency, but the higher crime rate was not one while the lower one suddenly is one. Three hurricanes are not more of an emergency than two, depending on factors such as where it hits, what force it is, etc.
