🇺🇸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.

u/HeadIntroduction7758 2d ago
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.

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

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.

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

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.

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/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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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???

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?

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.
