President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[LSU-SIU]

Why doesn't Trump solve this like he said he would if he was President? Why isn't Trump at the white house bringing everyone together like he said he would if president? Is he too busy making other countries great again like Argentina and Australia?

Your position is like blaming the refs for the QB throwing a pick..

I blame the commentators.

I blame the commentators.

Or the fans. I like to blame the negavols.

Can't get reelected if you cancel elections due to a war!

I guess the NYT needs to reevaluate their saying Trump is "demanding" and their "sources" labeled as "people familiar with the matter" ... The NYT, what a joke they are.

From the article

“All I know is that they would owe me a lot of money, but I’m not looking for money. I’d give it to charity or something,” Trump said, signaling once again that this fight isn’t about profit it’s about principle.

The complaints trace back to the infamous FBI witch hunts during and after the 2016 election, when the bureau relied on false and fabricated evidence to pursue baseless claims that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia.

Since then, Trump has faced an endless stream of lawfare,

And yet, through all of it, the president has stood tall and now he’s going on offense.

“I was damaged very greatly,” Trump said. “Any money that I would get, I would give to charity.”

President says he was “very greatly” damaged and pledges to donate any payout to charity.

Or, we could allow Congress to do their jobs on this.

Unless, of course, you truly do want a king to step in and fix everything your representatives have screwed up. In that case, keep inviting his excellency to fix it.

Because he is doing what the people voted him to do. Democrats are just mad at Americans for voting for Trump a 2nd time. Why want Democrats listen to Fetterman

Democrats want families to suffer

Who is dumb enough to actually say that out loud?

@FLVOL_79 thinks clips like this is just Russia propaganda when our Democrat representatives say it out loud

Again. It's that death spiral. They are talking to the only strong supporters they really have left--the radical fringe.

at least some Rs have the balls to withdraw support

You guys had a discussion a few days ago about whether this forum is a right wing echo chamber. It was a very numbers-based discussion.

I considered suggesting that you discuss the effect of some non-quantifiable observations such as disparity of responses or reputational harm from ridiculously partisan statements (and whether the presence of dissenting minority creates a social climate that actually makes it more of an echo chamber).

I thought it needed a recent example that wouldn’t be so contentious that it pulled the discussion off topic. This seems like a pretty good one.

The claim that republicans can be favorably distinguished from democrats by their courageous (or ballsy) withdrawal of support for embattled candidates or nominees is not a statement to be taken seriously.*

It would cause some reputational harm to say that in a forum that truly valued balanced opinions. Here, there’s no real threat of harm, the comment went largely unnoticed, and receives mostly positive feedback from those who acknowledge it.

This (speaking of the trend, not so much this one example) contributes to creating an environment where the perception of reality is skewed a bit to the right.

No. Its not Russian propaganda. I'm saying you are pushing kremlin approved propaganda and may or may not be compensated for doing it. If you HAVE TO ALL CAPS things THROUGHOUT your POSTS, you might be a Russian bot and not even know it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Sometimes.

since you chose my quote I'll respond.

I was speaking of a single instance in which what I stated was correct. As a general rule Republicans are no more courageous on this issue than Democrats and both lack courage in what appears to be equal amounts and I have not claimed otherwise.

While dumb, what else does she say? Its edited to end mid sentence.

To go golfing every weekend and not lead? To add trillions to the debt? To increase taxes? Yall must be some suckers then.

Whoa whoa whoa slow your roll there. That right there is a problem. Allow congress to do their jobs? In what world do they ever do that?

Who’s your pick to save us?
Bernie, AOC, Crockett?…Zandami - that’s your guy for White House amiright?
Give us a name to get behind.

There are zero people in the public spotlight right now who I would vote for. I am thinking maybe just voting for my girlfriends German shepherd but not sure he can run without being labeled a nazi.

But Crockett..do you mean Davey Crockett? Is his ghost available?

edit - I'd say maybe Shapiro from PA. But hes a dem so I would never vote for him. And he is a Jew so 99% of American wouldnt vote for him.

You’re saying you’re correct that there were “balls” involved in refusing to support a nominee who said he has a Nazi streak, who can be pulled and replaced immediately, and whose replacement can take place without even the potential for loss of any government control?
