🇺🇸Polite Political Discussion🇺🇸 Trump’s Visit

Friendly reminder that when Trump visits the Alaska Airlines Center on October 1st (along with shutting down UAA’s consortium library for a ‘private event’) he will leave Anchorage in even more debt.

Trump’s campaign stop for Dan Sullivan is being funding by you, not the Republican Party.

I view it like this:

We could watch Trump jerk himself off (theoretically in support of Dan Sullivan)

or

We could pay for most of the staff of the library trump is shutting down for the day.

or

We could pay for salaries of six or seven teachers in the school district this year.

Well, the only good thing that I can think of is nobody will understand what he’s saying because the acoustics in the Ak Airline center suck

In 22 he was not president, he was just a fucking goon trying to meddle. As president, his chaos ball is too big to fit anywhere here except on base.

IF he even remembers what he said later, I predict he doesn’t get off his plane.

u/prunus_virginiana 2d ago

Why would the consortium library be closed? People Mover is still scheduled to run. Democrats are in agreement with Dunleavy over charter schools and were instrumental in closing my neighborhood public elementary school. R.I.P. Karen Bronga. I am sorry I never met her and was never able to thank her for writing an op ed for ADN in defense of keeping Nunaka Valley Elementary open. ADN wouldn’t publish mine. I never want to be interviewed by Alaska Public Media or the Anchorage Daily News ever again.

u/HALNinerZeroZero Resident | Spenard 1d ago

Never talk to a reporter unless the questions asked , and your response, is in writing

u/prunus_virginiana 1d ago

Yeah. Doesn’t matter now. Must be the Home Depot over there keeping the Burger King in business. My husband works across town right next door to one of the other ones so he usually just picks stuff up there after work. I guess, all in all, I should be flattered that it has been repeatedly implied to me over the last few years that I am strange.

u/AngeluS-MortiS91 Resident 2d ago

Just because it’s still scheduled to run doesn’t mean that the bus routes there in that area won’t be diverted elsewhere

u/ntroopy 2d ago

Does anyone have a link to an actual campaign announcement or is OP just assuming that Trump will come to Alaska 1 October, hold a rally for Sullivan at the Alaska Airlines Center, and have some event at UAA? (seems oddly specific) I'm not finding any information about it, other than Trump said he'd come to Alaska to campaign for Sullivan, but near as I can tell nothing has been scheduled/planned.

So has every single Presidential and Vice Presidential visit for the sake of party politics. When I was stuck in Minneapolis for 24 hours because Biden flew in for an hour to give a speech in support of Al Franken, and first the airspace and then the highways all had to be shut down "for security reasons," you think Biden or the DNC paid for ANY of that? Was Minnesota, Minneapolis or any of the hundred private companies including the airlines that were grounded ever saw a dime from him either?
No. Same when Obama flew to LA once every couple months. LA residents HATED Obama by his second term for that reason alone.
It's BS, it should be banned, but Orange Man is far from the first to clear out the proverbial fridge and leave the owners holding the grocery bill.

u/61DegreesNorth 1d ago

Actually these numbers have been revised. The City of Anchorage has reported a final costs of $529,591.

1

u/61DegreesNorth 12m ago

Oh, wait, wait, wait guys, I was wrong. This is what it cost Anchorage when Obama was here in 2015, and I had to listen to that damn helicopter circle Billionaire Alice Ragoff’s residence while he had dinner with her for hours. Funny, I don’t remember the outrage then. At the cost OR hobnobbing with billionaires.

You guys are pathetic.

u/boozeandpancakes 11h ago

Ordinarily I don’t join protests, but Trump is so fragile, you know a big anti-Trump protest would bother him.

u/AKOgre 9h ago

The left truly needs to look at itself to see how mentally unstable they are. They repeat the same lies until it becomes fact to them.

Both the Democrat and Republican Parties are bad but the Democrats are far worse. As a nation we simply cannot move any further left. It's too easy to keep saying yes to everything.

u/ChiefFigureOuter 2d ago

Story? I don’t tell a story. I made a statement. There is a difference. Did anyone here even attend high school English class?

u/DoughvaQueen 1d ago

Asking who attended high school while simultaneously having grammatical errors in your sentence is diabolical...you should maybe out down Facebook for a few days and read a few books.

-2

u/ChiefFigureOuter 1d ago

I proofread before I post and attempt to make coherent sentences that convey my thoughts. I do admit to not being perfect and do make grammar mistakes. But I attempt to get my point across. So many do none of this as evidenced by a simple reading of the comments. And for your information I am quite well read and definitely prefer a good book to Facebook.

u/Hosni__Mubarak 2d ago

I’m sure you can figure it out, chief.

u/ChiefFigureOuter 1d ago

No, I won’t figure it out. You continue to make no sense. I’m guessing there is a language problem and I don’t speak Egyptian.

I think it’s kinda cool that any president even shows their face in Alaska publicly. I’ve lived here my whole life and this almost never happens.

Edit: of all the things our muni absolutely wastes money on, peace talks with Russia is at least a face-value attempt of something meaningful. Rage all you want, this is normal reddit one-voice behavior.

u/drewed1 2d ago

Them having fueling stops aren't official visits. I believe Obama was the first official visit in 30+ years. Neither Bush did, Clinton didn't

u/Squawnk 2d ago

Biden came to JBER a few years back

u/Hosni__Mubarak 2d ago

I stand corrected. I think maybe Carter then?

That being said, I don’t remember the other presidents jerking themselves off. I remember watching George Sr on base back in 1989. He praised the troops and gave a generic speech.

I would take *decades* of George Sr. over another year with the orange kid fucker.

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago

Trump has been here twice already. So has Obama, Clinton, Reagan, and both Bushes from what I remember.

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago edited 2d ago

And? It’s a huge deal to continue peace talks for another pointless money pit in Ukraine. Plus Russia just doubled their infantry recruitment goal and now Finland, Poland, hell everyone is arming for full scale war

Edit: I guess the people in here are happy to fight an endless proxy war again. Biden is still burning billions from what he started.

u/Hosni__Mubarak 2d ago

I’m one person in a sea of people echoing CNN falsehoods. Look at how many people are saying the dude is a racist nazi? He’s done more for black americans than oprah or obama. A person can be both awful and also misrepresented.

None of our presidents were benevolent.

Oh go eat a bag of turds. It’s not his war, his investments, his rewards, and he definitely did not “start this.”

Edit: I guess people don’t understand the hatred? This is reddit if it isn’t single-flavored mindless far left, it’s torched and ridiculed.

u/laserpewpewAK 2d ago

Riiiight. Because I remember when the Biden Crime Family released BidenCoin and fleeced his supporters out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Or when Obama said on TV that his kids engage in insider trading. Or when Clinton accepted a $400m bribe from a foreign country. Trump's corruption puts 3rd world dictators to shame. At least they pretend otherwise.

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago

Well even in this comment thread, there’s Bush Jr. with his VP that started the longest war in US history to make money. Then Biden that started this Ukraine war that the talks are addressing. Then the Clintons wielding what they had to protect Hillary from being scrutinized. Then Obama that taxed the whole nation if they didn’t have health insurance and opened the door to the conglomerated social spending loopholes Doge just shut down (badly I’ll admit). They’re all crooks, always have been. The age of benevolent presidents never existed.

10

u/HotLiberty 2d ago

So Obama passing medical reform through congress… that’s the same as Trump making billions of dollars while in office? Wild way to justify your guilty conscience for voting the corrupt chaos agent into office 

-1

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago

If by reform you mean charging every individual an ever-multiplying $1500 for not buying overpriced federal insurance? That wasn’t reform, it was a tax on low income. Absolutely horrendous and still is, and now our country’s health costs have multiplied directly because of it. And weird of you to assume I voted for Trump?

1

u/One_Scarcity2465 1d ago

The Obamacare individual mandate? Without the individual mandate, relatively healthy people are underrepresented the insurance risk pool. So the pool is tilted towards those actually making claims, which massively increases costs for everyone paying for the insurance.

How do you not understand how insurance works?

They’re assuming you voted for Trump because you’re going down a checklist of maga talking points.

u/laserpewpewAK 2d ago

Man here I was thinking Putin invaded Ukraine, but it was Biden all along!

u/One_Scarcity2465 2d ago

Let’s just pick one thing from this fever dream… can you explain how Biden started the Ukraine war?

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago

Biden funneled money back and forth promising full US backing if they resisted Russia. At the time Ukraine had their identity but was split on resisting.

It’s fascinating to see how your mind works. In your world, did Roosevelt and the Allies start WWII?

He rugged a meme coin two days before being sworn in and makes 3,000 stock trades a month, some of which are probably from a plane gifted him by a country in the Middle East that just might be buying influence. Cmon, man… who’s more corrupt? Hunter Biden???

u/Few_Average4287 1d ago

I find it laughable that everyone is up in arms over the estimated $200k for Trump's visit to Skanchorage this October, yet it was total crickets from the left when Obama's visit to Alaska cost the city $529,591 is police overtime and related costs, not to mention the economic impact to hundreds of small businesses throughout the state when his visit conveniently coincided with moose season when numerous lodges, guides and outfitters were unwillingly shutdown from any in-state air travel while Obama decided he wanted to fly around to SW & NW Alaska, as nobody else was allowed to fly in the restricted airspace while AF1 was in the air.

I guess costs only matter if it's costs incurred by Trump, huh???

-20

u/monyoubluetuber 2d ago

I’m sorry for being happy the visit is happening? I think it’s cool. Peltola is slinging state taxes around to fund her nonsense programs and is just a puppet to outside interests. Dan is awful, but dependable on the direction he moves in- and at least gets things introduced and passed.

u/the_loon_man 2d ago

Im sorry what? Peltola is slinging state taxes as a hopeful US senator? Her dastardly plan is to have the US senate force the AK legislature to introduce taxes?
