President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[swampfoxfan]

You have no clue. When Trump got elected interstate 40 got opened a lot faster. The county I live in has still got people working like crazy to get it cleaned up.

Magas idolize orangeman. Trump had noting to do with I 40. Trump is giving no nada zero aid to NC, Fema shut down up to the states.

Now you and the pack of maga worshipers have fun with your disagreements.

I disagree. End user technology is built for accesibility.

You could argue that old age fosters less of a desire or effort to simply learn new things. Old dog, new tricks.

Hey man! Wyse dumb terminals running 19.2k baud across an RS232 connection!

Hell. On. Wheels.

Oh boy..you stepped in it now..you know j6 was the worse thing experienced in the US in history...jeez

Nobody has ever said it's the worst, but it called for more punishment than a parking ticket.

They were jailed for years...more then punished for what amounted to most convicted as trespassing..did you miss the scouts ruling on the interference upcharge that was attempted and overturned...

Can you explain to me how this was different from kavanaugh confirmation riots .there was an officer attacked there..and they were pounding on the chamber doors..

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Yeah ....

Donald Trump made it clear that managing the safety and security of government property was a high priority of his on January 6, 2021 .... as well as holding people accountable for acts of vandalism and acts of violence against Capitol Security and DC police officers.

In other words, Donald Trump would never be in favor of wholesale pardons for people who were plainly seen on video committing violent crimes and vandalizing federal property.

This show of unity with law enforcement is rich. I'm not surprised that your cultish devotion to Donald Trump blinds you from his hypocrisy and phoniness.

This is nothing but grandstanding and divisive political posturing with a steaming hot pile of sanctimonious bull $hit thrown in for good measure.

Once again, no solution. Give it to you all…..not one Dem has offered any solutions today!!

No solutions and no willingness to do the hard work it takes to make things better = Democrats.

.... but when it comes to natural disasters, Trump has said that each individual state should take the steps necessary to satisfy the needs of its citizens, wildlife and habitat. It is not the role of the federal government to play nanny to every state - Trump's words, not mine.

Like so many of Donald Trump's executive actions, this is grandstanding and hollow political posturing.

And your point is?

Actually, I am not particularly enamored with the Feds stepping outside their jurisdiction. D.C. is theirs and he can do what he needs to do as far as I am concerned.

If Chicago and Illinois are happy with what their government delivers, more power to them.

If the denizens of Memphis are unhappy with living in a third world crap hole, none of the Feds business. However, the state of Tennessee may take whatever action is needed.

 

[volbound1700]

I don't like the idea of dispatching National Guard units across the country to stop crime. It sounds very 1984ish.

Trump Administration Approves Governor Stein’s Housing Recovery Action Plan for Western North Carolina

Governor Josh Stein announced today that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has approved North Carolina’s Action Plan for a $1.4 billion grant to help western North Carolina rebuild following Hurricane Helene. When compared to other states’ performance over the past...

You could argue that old age fosters less of a desire or effort to simply learn new things. Old dog, new tricks.

There may be some of that old dog aspect. When you 'grow up' with a certain level of technology, the new tricks aren't so simple. (How many people do you know that can work on a new car? I would say 50-60% of the people I grew up with could at least change the oil.) You probably grew up typing with your thumbs. I didn't. It is a new skill, but you are right, I can swipe and get to the end result so I really don't want to spend the time learning it.

I think the 'accessibility' argument is an interesting one. I always said when computers were becoming more ubiquitous that the designers were making a very important mistake. They designed these systems, and they are intimately familiar with how they work. To them it was simple. I have always said they needed to give one to my mom and simply have her turn it on. And go from there. And now, talking to tech support is an ordeal. You generally have crappy phone connections (because cellular connectivity generally sucks when talking to the Philippines or India) and a language barrier. I have trouble and I have spent the last 35 years going overseas and I have no trouble with Korean ATC or French women controllers. I can only imagine how hard it is for people that never left Alabama or Texas talking to "Suzy" in Mindanao.

What sucks balls is when software manufacturers 'update' their **** and change everything you are accustomed to into something that requires hours of study and relearning. THAT isn't improving end user accessibility, and it generally doesn't make the experience better.

Oh, and with regard to working on a car. I bought a new Mustang. I have ZERO illusions that I can do even basic maintenance on it and that the dealer probably has a $200,000 diagnostic machine that he needs to pay for so just getting the oil changes will probably cost me over $100.

You lie

Fact check: Did Trump reject Helene relief for North Carolina?

A widely-shared social media post lacks important context about the Federal Emergency Management Agency's recent decision about disaster relief in North Carolina.

Pigeon Forge for the Jeep Invasion. That was a group picture of White Jeeps at the Quaker Steak and Lube earlier today.

If you are coming back next year, let me know. I should know my way around here better by then and maybe we can grab a beer somewhere.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

It's not a matter of argument or discussion. Numbers are, well, . . . numbers.

The funniest part of your post is actually you labeling @BernardKingGOAT as in my "fanclub." He and I disagree, most of the time. However, we aren't blathering idiots, so there's at least some respect between us.

Yes, we disagree on some political matters which are exponentially less important than the matters we agree on

Ok sounds good. Wife and I definitely will be back next year. This is our 3rd year in a row

Who do you think you are kidding? So you were already thinking about what our federal government could do to help D.C. when Trump stepped in with a solution? If Trump had come out and said he wasn't going to deploy the NG you would have claimed that it was the right thing to do.

If you were really a true conservative, you would have a problem with many of the things Trump is doing. Instead, you support every move he makes.

Nobody said it was the worst thing experienced in US history.

However, I did say that there were people who Donald Trump granted full pardons to, who can be seen committing acts of violence against Capitol security agents and D.C. Police officers, as well as committing acts of vandalism inside of the US Capitol.

It was not the crime of the century, but that is not the point. They did not deserve to be granted full pardons ... but thanks to Donald Trump, they ALL got one, anyway.

There were people guilty of mere trespassing, who were deserving of receiving pardons. Those January 6th pardons should have been handled on a case-by-case basis,with those only guilty of trespassing given pardons, but that was not what Donald Trump did. Trump pardoned ALL of them and it was unjustified, and a slap in the face to the security and law enforcement officials who were assaulted by those (now fully pardoned) people.

Donald Trump's embrace of law and order does not apply to people who have committed violent crimes, while expressing their support of causes he believes in. Trump is completely self-serving.

These deployments of the National Guard amount to nothing more than grandstanding and divisive political posturing by Donald Trump. Law and order and holding people accountable for acts of violence and vandalism are not always a high priority for him. Trump has proven that.

Less desire for sure, I'm not writing an academic paper to present..I'm talking to a variety of people in a forum. As long as the point get across punctuation and spelling is moot.

Respectfully, I have misunderstood your sentiments on here at times because I think you gravely underestimate the power of an Oxford comma.

 

[Vol8188]

I'm not pro Trans but I am I'll leave you alone you leave me alone. With that said Trans make up less than 1% of our population, immigrants are about the same. Yet we are giving a major amount of publicity to both.

Massive difference between 15% and 1%. Maybe those conservatives at the NYT are just trying to scare us!

I have mentioned I am not happy using the NG, BUT if the Dems are not going to do anything to help, that is a tool at Trumps disposal that provides safety for the citizens. I support that. If Dems would do what theat are supposed to do in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, Memphis, Baltimore, Baton Rouge and other cities, we would not be in this mess.

Isn’t it crazy that the only person currently in prison for all this Epstein stuff is a woman?

Because the other guilty party killed themselves. Would you like us to incarcerate his remains

Keep playing what-about-ery in a thread about the Trump Administration, and ignoring Donald Trump's phoniness and blatant hypocrisy, while giving him bj's and your cultish unconditional love and devotion.

Look same ole talking points while you get plugged in the cheeks with your TDS lover

Can you explain to me how this was different from kavanaugh confirmation riots .there was an officer attacked there..and they were pounding on the chamber doors..

...what aboutism... there was a lot more than trespassing going on. Try climbing the fence at the Whitehouse with a couple hundred of your friends, see what happens.

Agree with every point you make, in my 70's the only tech I can use is the television remote.
Flying I to Mindanao never caused you stress?

Being lazy I took the wife's chevy spark to 5 minute oil change in powell. $115.00 it uses 3.5 qts of oil.
