Also, if you're not putting an asterisk on Trump's first tenure for the spending that was needed to keep the country standing through the pandemic, you're being dishonest.
comment in response to post
Do you only care about deficeit spending when there's an R in front of it? Can you at least admit Obama and Biden also had runaway spending habits? Do you think the market dropping is directly related to Trump? Or the start of a correction to a bubble that most economists have been predicting?

What are you all going to do after Trump's term ends and none of your doom & gloom came to fruition?

Do you have evidence of this being anything other than a political realignment? Presidents have replaced generals before. Did you whine about those?

Damn, I'm getting blocked by a ton of people. 😂

How about we allow the appointees to do their jobs before criticizing their entire existence?
comment in response to post
It's just funny watching them trip over themselves criticizing Republicans for things their cherished overlords did so much worse. I'm not even a Trump guy.

The people who voted for him are tired of mainstream thinkers. That's the whole god damn point.
comment in response to post
No, he wants people who aren't war hawks.
comment in response to post
The oft-used "Donald Trump could eradicate all terminal disease and still be hated" mentality is definitely at play here.

What exactly would you like me to read again?
comment in response to post
That is nothing but speculation.

Mail volume has declined by over 45% since 2001 while expenditures have increased. USPS experienced a net loss of over $87 billion during that time and labor costs make up 80% of the total expenses. No private business would operate that inefficiently and still survive. Why should the government?

What am I wrong about? Did we not give Ukraine half a trillion dollars?
comment in response to post
I dislike both parties equally.
comment in response to post
Just not sure why you can't engage in good faith discussions as if your reaction isn't a large part of the reason we are where we are as a country.

I'm not a Trump supporter.

The Executive Branch.

You think, in order to win a lucrative government contract, a private company wouldn't figure out a plan to service currently unserviced areas?
comment in response to post
If you're going to try and drive home your point with insults, maybe run a spell check? Or, at the very least, give me a reason you think I'm a troll.
comment in response to post
Thankful for your admiration.
comment in response to post
The government has definitely never deliberately misled the public for their own gain either, you're right.
comment in response to post
If that specific company needs to adhere to certain government standards and submit themselves to regular audits, why not?
comment in response to post
Modern Dems want nothing to do with reducing the size of government. Only inflating it. It's the sad truth, and anyone who lives outside of that bubble is now ostracized entirely.
comment in response to post
The private sector is more efficient than the government by nearly every metric and always has been.
comment in response to post
I don't expect everyone to agree on everything, and I'm only intentionally disrespectful if it happens to me first. Given we've gotten this far without you blocking me immediately, you're one of the good ones. Genuinely appreciate the dialogue.

Good thing I'm not a native.

Why do you support the form of voting that is most susceptible to fraud?
comment in response to post
If I needed to give even a single example, I'd point to his EO on student loan forgiveness, which were unconstitutional.
comment in response to post
Mail-in voting shouldn't exist.
comment in response to post
What an original retort.
comment in response to post
Why aren't you answering the question?
comment in response to post
So, Joe Biden's Executive Orders were what then?
comment in response to post
Have you forgotten about the half trillion dollars in aid we've given?
comment in response to post
How is this predatory? We've given them unlimited sums of money and are now asking for something in return.
comment in response to post
The Constitution mandates its existence. Not its structure or method of operation.
comment in response to post
Excruciatingly accurate.
comment in response to post
You either believe the powers of the executive branch should be restricted or you don't. There is no false equivalency. You can't support it when your team does it and trash it when the other follows.
comment in response to post
I don't entirely disagree with you.
comment in response to post
Because its hockey players and citizens had nothing to do with that decision.
comment in response to post
Now do the Executive Orders of Joe Biden.
comment in response to post
It has nothing to do with mail-in ballots. Republicans and Libertarians have wanted to privatize the postal service for an eternity. It's an inefficient mess.

This is the Russia commentary I signed up for.
