Wasteful because you say so? Well you don’t have to tune in, your choice.

That's not how the Constitution works. The winner of the "popular vote" doesn't determine who becomes president.

Please. Give me a break. You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me. He isn't the 'lesser of two evils'. Otherwise that would be an admission that this man is himself evil, just a little less than others. You do realise that that's what you just said? But you don't mean it. This is a man that you support. This is a man who can seemingly do no wrong. This is a man who can play dress up as the pope while the man who was pope is still being mourned.
This is a man who people in this forum thank the Lord for him being president. They sing Hallelujah at the end of posts singing his praise.
The lesser of two evils? Please, don't treat me as a fool.

Don't rain on the parade, it's the first time in 20 years the Republicans were able to get the popular vote.

Which is such an indictment on US Christianity.
I'm not a Democrat. As an overseas observer, I can dislike both for no other reason that they're eminently dislikable.
What does "neutral media" mean?
Trump said anything and everything that he thought would appeal to those he thought would vote for him or the particular crowd he was addressing. Frequently he embraced contradictory and logically incoherent positions - but it never mattered, because those that like him seem to be able to ignore all the negatives and see only what they want to see.
The Biden administration was, in ideology and approach, mildly right of centre. It's just that US politics have taken on such a rightward list that it appears (to you) to have gone "so far to the left".
The US, under Trump, has become a global laughing stock. That's when the rest of the world is not shaking its head in dismay or goggling in utter disbelief at the behaviour of its leaders. Or desperately worried about what appears to be the inevitable slide of the largest Western democracy in the towards authoritarianism, anti-intellectualism, repressions, Christian-nationalism and kleptocracy/oligarchy.

Ignoring the truth of what I wrote by not including will not make it any less true.
You ask for an honest answer, I give you one and you attempt to denigrate it.
If you cannot even acknowledge a differing viewpoint, how does one ever learn.

Trump did not win by a popular vote. This is not how we elect the president.

I repeated what you said. You admitted that he is evil. The 'lesser of two', in your opinion. He's bad, but oh, not as bad as someone else. He lies, but possibly not as much as someone else. He is unfaithful, but not as much as others. He's degenerate, but there are some who are worse. Yet you don't hold him to account. You don't demand improvement. You don't ask for some humility. You don't expect anything better.
In fact, far from criticising his plainly obvious failings, you actually support him. You sing his praises. You put him on a pedastal and encourage his actions.
Why don't you hold him to the same standards that you'd expect from yourself? Is there no price that you'll pay to try to get what you want?

Here is Executive Order Number by the president.
President Biden – 4 years ( 1460 days) 162 EO
Resident Trump -105 days -145 EO
If you believe one executive order per day by the president is acceptable, remember that actions have consequences. This practice may continue with future presidents from either party.

But I do have to pay. How about we don't pay and you can still tune in or not as you choose.

Its the opposite of that. The democrats have taken such a wildly left turn that it makes the right seem all that much more far right. When you are an extremist like so many on the left and in the Democratic Party anything right if you seems wildly right.
We are the group that is trying to be more center right. But that seems extreme to the left becauae they are so far away from that.

There is a debate about whether NPR and PBS should receive government funding. Opinions vary, and I have no opinion since I rarely watch them.
The controversial question is whether the President can use an Executive Order to terminate funding for these programs. Congress approves funding for NPR and PBS. Does the President have the authority to remove funding allocated by Congress? Isn't this similar to why President Trump was first impeached?
Can a Democratic president use an executive order to revoke Fox News' license, just as President Trump can terminate PBS funding with an executive order?

Since the 2016 election, many Evangelical Christians have said they had no choice but to vote for President Trump because Clinton was pro-choice. They valued the sanctity of life. The same sentiment was expressed in 2024, with Evangelical Christians feeling compelled to support President Trump because Vice President Harris is pro-choice.
In the 2016 primary elections, Evangelical Christians had 17 different candidates to choose from, while in the 2024 primary elections, there were 9 options available. Among them were devoted Catholic Christians, born-again Christians, and one ordained Southern Baptist minister, Mike Huckabee. In 2024, the born-again Christian candidate, Mike Pence, received less support from GOP primary voters compared to idolatries Vivek Ramaswamy. If Mike Pence had secured even 10% of the Evangelical Christian vote in the GOP primary, he might not have needed to withdraw before the Iowa caucuses.
In 2024, a Baptist Minister stated on TV, "What is wrong with Hinduism? I agree with all his policies; why should I care about his religion?"
Evangelicals had many choices, but they chose President Trump three times.
