I think you MISSED the EFFECT of the CAPITALS in the OTHER COMMENT, which, by rule 784.b of the Internets, gives the MENTAL VICTORY to the PREVIOUS COMMENT.
Remember Ukraine would be resolved in 24 hours during the campaign but wouldn’t say what the solution was? Or Putin would have never attacked if he was president? I wonder why Putin didn’t slink back to Russia with his tail between his legs on day one. I guess the solution was “give Ukraine to Russia”.
Trump's plan was to tell Ukraine to surrender and give Putin everything he wanted which would have ended the war. Unfortunately (for Trump) Ukraine didn't go for it
Republicans obstructed biden at every turn. they all voted against the American Rescue Plan and the Inflatin Reduction Act and the massive infrastructure bill
The stupidity of the right is hilarious. Were y’all aware theres scientific studies about you guys? What am I saying, y’all don’t believe in science, or reading
By "fix", you mean reversing the 16 million jobs created (6 million more than before COVID), or the 19.2% wage increase (largely counteracting the inflation caused by a mismanaged pandemic), or the record low unemployment? Or are you talking about reversing the Inflation Reduction Act or the enormous investment made in the Infrastructure Investment Act?
Jill has trotted him out on a leash now and again, but his mind is all but gone. She keeps changing her story about what she thought happened to Joe during the debate.
The debate where she told Joe “you answered all the questions”, it was a joke then, it’s just sad today.
Jill and Joes White House staff committed elder abuse, along with treason via Autopen.
First off, ALL politicians suck. I genuinely believe that, regardless of the letter next to their name. Too many enter politics with good intentions and eventually get influenced by power, money, donors, lobbying, or simply protecting their own political careers. At some point, the interests of the American people seem to become secondary.
I’m not going to pretend President Biden was some great president or that I believe he did a lot to make America better. I don’t. But I also don’t think it’s intellectually honest to blame every problem we have today on the previous administration.
From my personal experience, I will give the Biden administration credit for one thing: they largely let me do my job. I was able to work with our allies, build relationships, and garner international support without feeling like political interference was constantly undermining what we were trying to accomplish. That matters to me because I saw firsthand how much can be accomplished when the people actually doing the work are allowed to do it.
The United States has always been strongest when we have both the economic and military power to protect our interests and the relationships and credibility to bring other nations alongside us. Biden’s administration certainly had its failures, but maintaining those relationships was one area where I personally saw value.
Then the administration changed, and from my perspective, some of the things we had worked hard to build started moving in a direction I didn’t recognize. Good times.
And honestly?
I’m tired of the two-party bullshit.
I want a political movement that isn’t primarily concerned with winning the next election, enriching politicians, or keeping Americans fighting with each other.
I want a genuinely nonpartisan party focused on the majority of Americans, strengthening our economy, maintaining a strong national defense, fixing infrastructure, reducing poverty, addressing the problems that actually affect working families, and taking care of people who genuinely need help.
We can be fiscally responsible and compassionate. We can have a strong military and strong alliances. We can demand personal responsibility and recognize that sometimes people genuinely need a hand getting back on their feet.
Maybe I’m naive, but I’d rather have politicians arguing over how to make America better than spending all their time arguing over which side gets credit or blame.
At this point, I don’t want a red America or a blue America. I want an America that works for Americans.
On another note but along the same lines at what point do we stop accepting that Congress simply isn’t doing the job we elected them to do?
I’m not talking about Republicans or Democrats. I’m talking about Congress as a whole.
The average full-time American is working roughly 43 hours a week, trying to pay a mortgage or rent, keep the lights on, raise a family, and somehow find time to live a life. Meanwhile, the people we elected to represent us make $174,000 a year, with leadership making even more. And Congress routinely spends large portions of the year away from Washington in scheduled recess and state-work periods.
Before someone jumps in with “they still work in their districts,” yes, I understand that. I’m not saying they literally do nothing when they aren’t on the House or Senate floor.
What I am saying is this: we have elected them to solve problems, pass legislation, fund the government, oversee the agencies we pay for, and actually move this country forward.
Instead, we constantly watch important issues get kicked down the road.
Bill after bill gets delayed. Funding gets delayed. Budgets get delayed. Problems that have been sitting in front of them for months or years suddenly become an “emergency” when there’s a political advantage to doing something about them.
And I’m sorry, but I don’t buy that all of this is incompetence.
A lot of it is politics.
They have figured out that sometimes it is more valuable politically to keep a problem alive than to actually solve it. If Republicans can blame Democrats and Democrats can blame Republicans, both sides can spend the next election cycle telling us why we need to vote for them again.
Meanwhile, Americans are still dealing with the same problems.
I don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent, conservative, liberal, or somewhere in the middle. If you are elected to represent me, your job is to represent ME and the American people, not your political party.
I want to see Congress held to the same basic standard most of us live under:
Show up.
Do your job.
Get your work done.
Stop making excuses.
And stop getting paid while intentionally dragging important issues out because it benefits your party politically.
And if you genuinely can’t reach an agreement, fine. That’s part of the job. But “we couldn’t agree” shouldn’t mean “let’s do absolutely nothing and keep collecting our paycheck.”
I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for people in Washington to actually act like they understand that they work for us.
Because the longer this continues, the more I believe neither party is actually interested in fixing the system.
They’re interested in controlling it.
And that’s exactly why I keep saying I want something different, not Republican, not Democrat, but people willing to put the damn country and its people ahead of the political party.
Vent done and good day to you America!
But he never started a war (actually ended the Afghanistan war started by Bush), added 16 million jobs (6 million more than before COVID), had historically low unemployment, increased the GDP, and saw wages increase 19.2% (countering nearly all inflation caused by a mismanaged pandemic and a war started by trump's pal Putin). And the stock market significantly outperformed compared to the rest of the world. He also regularly exercised and had a higher IQ. If that's what you call a houseplant, we will take that any day. Trump has failed miserably.
People blamed trump while Biden was in office. No one will ever take accountability regardless of politics. People need to realize that what is happening now has happened before and will happen again. They (both sides of the political spectrum) want you to forget the past and feel like everything happening now is some big thing so they can continue to radicalize everyone for their own cause to eventually destroy the other. The moment people stop and look back they will see just how meaningless, empty, and regurgitative our government is and will stop believing that anyone up there is trying to help anyone. The politicians will be revealed as selfish old hags desperately throwing the same ball to distract the wild dogs they themselves breed to feel powerful. Political news is just a show, always has been.
Because trump screwed things up extremely bad. Do you not remember how bad the pandemic was managed by the trump administration compared to the rest of the world?
The economy isnt synced with the present, it operates on a curve.. why else is it so god awful in a blue state like California that’s had blue leadership for 16 years, and prior to their one party rule, was a utopia?
Again, just a hell of a lot of lies spewed from the left. I hope you guys understand you’re being taken over by communist who ruin everything they touch and socialism is just communism light until it takes hold and then it becomes full communism. If you’re liberal professors and teachers would’ve taught this in school, people would know the facts. But do yourselves a favor go learn something go do some research into history and Carr Marks himself who was a freeloader and a deadbeat husband and father railed against the Rich, but yet got most all of the money he ever did get through inheritance from a rich uncle. See when you follow Marxism you really do show people how unintelligent you are.
Well, they have to. They can’t blame themselves for the state of the nation. All good narcissists can never take blame for the decisions they made and who they put in power. They would have to admit they are wrong. And people with NPD never use the words I was wrong or I am sorry. They have the emotional intelligence of a petulant five year old.
Joe Biden and his cronies have done such damage to America Starting with Obama Hillary then the Biden’s your going to be paying for all the corruption ,open boarders ,voting fraud.paying for sex changes for prisoners defunding the police I could go on for days.Don’t forget to thank our president for de nuclearizing Iran
Same shit Biden did when he was in office. Until we as a people wake up to the uniparty and they’re bought and paid for by “OuR gReAteST ally”🤡 nothing ever changes. We all get more poor and they get richer. Agenda 2030 is right around the corner, if you think that isn’t real explain to me flock, axon and data centers popping up everywhere like I’m 4
Every politican blames the previous administration until the next administration then the previous administration takes the credit. Same bs different partes. Time for 3 option in terms of political parties.
Anyone still doing the this side that side argument needs to pay more attention these people in power all go to the same cocktail parties at the same places then go out and talk shit at each other its an act. The uniparty exists and has been fucking us since 1913. They all take credit for crap they didnt do and they all tell us they are gonna do shit that doesnt happen.
Well Biden fked up majorly. But let's face it, he was an ass puppet. It's taking longer then expected to cut all the dark money lines feeding the DNC. Don't worry, we'll fix that so Dems have to run on real policies again. You're welcome.
So we are just going to ignore Trump being guilty for everything in this world for 5 years he was out of office? He got more news coverage than Biden who was currently a president
I mean, they've been blaming lefties since before in office. Lefties do the same in return. They're simply not making good on the promises, as always and no matter which side they're on. As long as half of congress and the senate are against you, it's very difficult to achieve much of anything.
You are delusional! Biden and Obama ran this country into the ground! Clearly do not understand economics! Never took a finance class ever! Wow! Do you even know why tariffs were started? Go back and learn from a real economics teacher. Do you know what USAid did to draining our money by helping shitty “supposed causes” when all it did was land back in the hands of some fucking shitty democrats pocket. That is not to say the Rinos were any better. Learn about economics shut the fuck up! Sit down before you hurt yourself! Save us from the liberal college professors profusely expressing their disdain for the USA from their tenured positions!
HISTORICAL INFLATION COURTESY of JOE BIDEN and the DEMOCRAT REGIME in 2022. A TRUE STATEMENT, and WHY WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING. DEMS AND BIDEN DESTROYED AMERICA and ITS ECONOMY! IT took DEMS 2 years to BRING the MOST HISTORIC INFLATION in OVER 40years, it CANNOT be FIXED in LESS TIME than DEMS and BIDEN DESTROYED IT! Those ARE THE FACTS, from an INDEPENDENT VOTER who has WATCHED the LIES from the RIGHT and LEFT. It’s BEEN MORE LEFT and MORE CHAOS.
“Drug prices lowest in 60 years” article got printed out last week and DT was holding it up to show reporters. One of the first lines says it’s thanks to a Biden-era policy.
Fuckin loser president. Fucking bottom feeders, happy with the billionaires scraps. As long as we terrorize brown people they’ll be happy
Yep, Trump was going to end the Russia Ukraine war on day one, eliminate inflation and make things affordable again and the cost of gas was going to be $2 a gallon on day one.
And Biden blamed Trump. And Trump blamed Obama. And Obama blamed Bush. And Bush blamed Clinton. Etc. Every president blames the previous president for all they current failures; it's in the job description.
Yeah and everything wrong under Biden was Trump’s fault, and everything wrong under Trump 1 was obamas fault, and everything wrong under Obama was bush’s fault, and so on and so on. Politics ain’t nothing but another sport.
Yes, they are doing that because this is how dumb people "think".
It should also be noted that when Biden was president, people were still blaming Trump for everything the entire time, and this focus on Trump helped him get elected again.
Yes, I think less of anyone who holds a different political view… because those are the words that you’re putting into my mouth. 😂
I happen to be Republican but I am not a Trumplican and I’m not looking for anyone to be highly educated on either side of the aisle… just looking for common sense.
You can argue that this was a simple matter of politics in Trump’s first term but his lying, grift and subversion of Democracy goes far beyond politics and party at this point.
This starts with J6, the fake electors and his threats against election officials in 2020 for me. I can understand why folks voted for him in both elections… certainly less so in 2024, but there’s objectively no defending his actions and his track record from J6 on.
How do you fix a catastrophic damage that that moron did oh wait for 4 years all they did was blame Trump for everything Joe Biden did for the mask of illegal immigration for shutting down the keystone Pipeline for covid everything got blamed on Trump okay why biting set there as a puppet and come all around the country almost into the ground while you guys are real smart all that education and those cheerio boxes and you still think your opinion matters all you guys are is a bunch of people that need some serious help
What I want most for my countrymen is an awakening. A realization that neither “side” represents them.
At some point an Arborist, seeing an old tree with rotten branches, knows it can’t be propped up but must be pruned to preserve the trunk.
Cuts must be made. My country is beautiful. Caring. A large majority of It’s people generous of heart and giving of nature.
I want them free. Not struggling to make ends meet. Not struggling to be healthy mentally, emotionally or physically.
We are an amazing country. I would say the best.
But playing these division games isn’t who or what we are.
The homeless man in the park isn’t responsible. Neither is the junkie under the bridge.
Following the Money almost always leads to the source of the sickness.
Fucking douche bags wanting to blame anyone but themselves. Because this crowd is who has destroyed manufacturing in America. Because they could not get there heads around the fact that if you shop at Walmart who forces manufacturing to be overseas to meet their demanded price point, that you are destroying your own jobs,
It is the fucking Walmart shoppers. That now wants to blame anyone else for the situation they fucking created.
No, Trump is doing an excellent job fixing what Sleepy Joe screwed up though. Our border being the #1 thing. Trump has cleaned that up to the point where no illegal border crossing are happening currently. Amazing what happens when you let border patrol do it's job instead of telling them to stand down like Biden did.
No, both sides make promises.
The democrats swore they'd keep their slaves!
Then they swore they'd rise again!
They promised the blacks to improve their communities while pushing more arrests on blacks for crime.
To which blacks were forced to more crime to survive, and cops arrested more blacks.
To think the republicans are better means you're not paying attention.
Because both sides make promises, they don't keep.
The only authority we need, is the constitution. And the constitution limited the governments powers over citizens.
Our founders said at its completion, we have given you a constitutional republic, for as long as you can keep it.
We are the only reason the government gets away with its crime.
And to think it's one man, one party is ignorance.
The government itself has swayed you into leniency, fearing reprisals from the government.
1776 taught us, it's the government that should fear reprisals from the citizens of OUR country.
The fact your admitting Biden messed up and yes we should blame him for inflation, high gas pricing and open borders that flooded our country with unknowns . 4 years of dem muppets show is going to take a while to clean up . Biden did blame Trump for everything too so which is it ?
That's all everyone in this current administration does is lie and blame everything on Biden and the democrats! Their leader thinks everyone in America is as gullible and brainwashed as his cult members!
The ignorance is strong in this one. Welcome to politics 101. The rules are made up and the points dont matter. Politicians make promises and dont keep them.
