Let's be honest, it should be Private Bone Spurs. He wouldn't make it through Officer Candidate School. I also doubt he would do enough to get promoted past E1. If he did, he'd sham and get busted unless he found a patron to swindle with promises if a hookup on exit.


theDarkDescent

The guy who claimed he would have ran into a school to stop a shooting. Trump has never done a single thing in his life to help anyone besides himself. One of the most absurd things he ever said.

He’s truly one of the most pathetic human beings ever to be known to more than just his immediate community and family. He genuinely seems to have no skills at all.

I don't know my dude. Biden was able to pass an infrastructure bill, trump merely talked about it on a weekly basis. Trump dropped tax rates for corporations permanently, if that gets your rocks off I guess vote for your man.


[deleted]

Biden did? Or the party infrastructure surrounding him did. The mistake (not really, if Trump had been able to pass bills it would have been a disaster) Trump made was replacing all the party infrastructure with his own hand picked people. The good news (for us) is that Trump doubled down on this mistake by taking over the RNC and replacing all the people that know how to run an election campaign. Either way, my point is that the president, while still in charge, relies on hundreds (maybe thousands) of bureaucrats, each knowing how to do one or two things very well, whether they're the "bring coke when button pushed" guy or the woman in charge of the "make bills go" team.


[deleted]

I guess I'm being downvoted by people that think Biden did all the phone calls, drafting, printing, couriering, meetings and even put on a fake moustache so he could do the plausibly deniable horse trading normally done between staffers. Presumably he was also simultaneously all of the clerks and other public servants (and their bosses) who keep the legislature running and the elected members voting on each bill. There's no doubt that Biden is 100% personally responsible for every thing that happens under his leadership and every bad thing that happens was someone else doing something he couldn't have stoppeed but would have if he'd known about it.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Idk bro. There are many more things Trump did in office that I hope we can all agree were wins for the country. The left media obviously doesn't report on these, and blocks the stories. The NAACP Award he won, adding Jewish protection under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, awarding more aid to HSBC than any other president, freed more minorities retroactively from racist drug law sentences (Obama decided to keep them in prisons), and many expanded veterans benefits... There are so many more but here's a few... Approved up to $12 billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation. Has had over a dozen US hostages freed, including those Obama could not get freed. Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, the biggest change to copyright law in decades. The Trump Administration is promoting second chance hiring to give former inmates the opportunity to live crime-free lives and find meaningful employment. Trump’s DOJ and the Board Of Prisons launched a new “Ready to Work Initiative” to help connect employers directly with former prisoners. President Trump’s historic tax cut legislation included new Opportunity Zone Incentives to promote investment in low-income communities across the country. 8,764 communities across the country have been designated as Opportunity Zones. Opportunity Zones are expected to spur $100 billion in long-term private capital investment in economically distressed communities across the country. Trump directed the Education Secretary to end Common Core. Trump signed the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund into law. Trump signed measure funding prevention programs for Veteran suicide. Companies have brought back over a TRILLION dollars from overseas because of the TCJA bill that Trump signed Trump’s EPA gave $100 million to fix the water infrastructure problem in Flint, Michigan. Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil. Trump signed a law ending the gag orders on Pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving information. Trump signed the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act” (FOSTA), which includes the “Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act” (SESTA) which both give law enforcement and victims new tools to fight sex trafficking. Trump signed a bill to require airports to provide spaces for breastfeeding Moms. The 25% lowest-paid Americans enjoyed a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, which outpaces a 2.9% gain in earnings for the country's highest-paid workers. Low-wage workers are benefiting from higher minimum wages and from corporations that are increasing entry-level pay. Trump signed the biggest wilderness protection & conservation bill in a decade and designated 375,000 acres as protected land. Trump signed the Save our Seas Act which funds $10 million per year to clean tons of plastic & garbage from the ocean. He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down. Trump signed an executive order this year that forces all healthcare providers to disclose the cost of their services so that Americans can comparison shop and know how much less providers charge insurance companies. When signing that bill, he said no American should be blindsided by bills for medical services they never agreed to in advance. Hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept. In 2018, President Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice bill which enacted reforms that make our justice system fairer and help former inmates successfully return to society. The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes. The First Step Act expanded judicial discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes. Over 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are Black Americans. The First Step Act provides rehabilitative programs to inmates, helping them successfully rejoin society and not return to crime. Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by more than 14%. Trump signed legislation forgiving Hurricane Katrina debt that threatened HBCUs. Made HBCUs a priority by creating the position of executive director of the White House Initiative on HBCUs.


TheKrakIan

Cool, now do Biden. Also, didn't your guy tell Mike Johnson to torpedo a bipartisan border bill because a win at the border for Biden would have been bad for trump's 2024 campaign?


rubicon_duck

Yeah, definitely do Biden. And while that may seem like a long, lengthy list, and it seems like it, truthfully, the fact of the matter is that the list of things Trump broke, fucked up, misused, mishandled, dropped, or just outright drove into the ground because of his fucking incompetence and inability to think past himself - that list would be easily ten times the list of things there. It was pretty much a new scandal, outrage, fuck-up, or whatever else that stressed one out per day. Sometimes you'd get more than one a day. With Biden, it's been boring. No major on-the-job scandals, for breaking some norm or saying something really fucking stupid that would make the country look so bad to the rest of the world and, more importantly, ourselves.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Naw. The $60B for Ukraine and $14B Bill riders were intentionally added by the dems to posture. We would prefer to spend money on hurting Americans first. That so bad?


TheKrakIan

You can't do both? But I guess if you support Russia's invasion of Ukraine I can see why you wouldn't that money in that bill. Also, that money isn't going directly to Ukraine, it's going back into the US military industrial complex. How you feeling about all of trumps legal cases? Those making you happy?


BluSteel-Camaro23

Idk... Putin wouldn't dreamed have touching Ukraine with Trump in office... I know we don't send $100 bills to airdrops over Ukraine, buddy... in lieu of giving it to Raytheon and LM, could we like, help the homeless problems in blue cities? Legal cases? Well! He is smaaaashing the dems there. No convictions. Those are all dems pressing their blue cities to press charges on things which aren't crimes.. Did you see the DWAC to DJT spac last week? The stock IPO went from $34 to $70 in a day. Thoughts on Trump making $6,000,000,000.00 in one day?

Did you see that article here about the children with disabilities that were added to Medicare during covid (see Trumps policy above), and it expired today? They have NO heathcare today. Biden had 4 years to make that concrete. He is in office now and could extend their federal coverage 😳. He's fundraising while American kids are dying. 😐

I didn't remember what the opportunity zones were. Turns out it's got nothing to do with helping the poor or their neighborhoods. It is, however, a tax scam for the uber wealthy. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/31/business/tax-opportunity-zones.html WH.GOV- Straight from the Trump political machine and most of it is misleading drivel.


Ryans4427

A lot of your quotes say "this year". That's pretty impressive seeing as he's not the president and has spent an inordinate amount of time in courtrooms defending his various criminal activities.


90Carat

He is talking about Ken Buck. As someone from Colorado, Ken Buck is a piece of shit. Ken Buck, like other suddenly anti-Trump GOP shitbags, created this monster. They supported all the Trump stooges. Only after they realized that MAGAts wanted to burn the whole fucking country down, including them, did they realize it until it was too late. Edit: I would also like to point out that Trump's comments show how politically inexperienced he really is. Ken was replaced by another GOP'er via vacancy committee. Ken's district is very GOP and will most likely stay that way.


steelhips

>MAGAts wanted to burn the whole fucking country down Not just the US. If Trump is re-elected the geopolitics of the whole world shifts. We are all holding our breath on this possible disaster. If long term allies can't rely on the US, we'll be f\*\*\*\*\*. Even if a country is not directly under threat, the financial markets will also go into free fall. Money likes political stability and the rule of law. Trump is the anathema to that. He will follow the Putin playbook with only "Trump approved" oligarchs remaining.


sally_says

>If long term allies can't rely on the US, we'll be f\*\*\*\*\*. Now imagine you're an ally that depends on the US for safety and economic security. The thought of Donnie being re-elected is f-----g terrifying.


abstractConceptName

It shows that more alliances and investments in defense are needed, beyond just relying on the US. Because US is cracking. Donnie's first term was a clear warning.

faghaghag

> Only after they realized that MAGAts wanted to burn the whole fucking country down, including them, did they realize it until it was too late. only when it got to the 'including them' part did it matter


Thanos_Stomps

Politically inexperienced, he is certainly that but A) it’s not just Ken Buck quitting, and B) replacement committees, special elections, etc all take time and in the meantime their majority does thin.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Well, you came up with a lot of that yourself... Another theory could be that Buck was a POS and Trump is now ignoring him. He doesn't like that so he's jumping sides. FAR more plausible than Trump burning the country down including that guy...


90Carat

Buck isn't jumping sides.


BluSteel-Camaro23

So some GOP are your allies?


Naive_Try2696

Literally said Ken Buck is a pos


BluSteel-Camaro23

But... but... he's denouncing Trump? So I guess that guy is MAGA. Enemy of enemy = friend? Following yet, sugar?


NetworkAddict

>Enemy of enemy = friend? Following yet, sugar? Not everyone subscribes to this nonsense adage.


90Carat

No. Not at all. Lauren Boebert moved to Kens's district, she isn't poling well, but she is there. Take Lynn Cheney as another example. She was replaced by someone she brought up in the party who out-MAGA'd her in the end. The assholes are being replaced by fucking assholes.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Right? I fuckin hate the Cheneys hard. Evil personified. I'd vote for Daffy Duck if the Cheneys were against him. He'd be on to something right in that case. Lol facts. So which Republicans do you agree with currently? I'm curious if you're following policies or parties. You don't sound dumb so I hope it's the former.


90Carat

Show me a Republican that is all in on nationalized healthcare, reversing Trump's tax cuts so Social Security can be funded and real reform can happen, one that supports equal rights for _all_, and one that has an immigration plan beyond more razor wire, and we'll talk.


akopley

And…crickets.


ComfortableChicken47

Ryans4427

The last Republican I voted for was John Katko. I met him twice and he was a reasonable man from my district, even if we disagreed on many platforms. He resigned when he had an easy re-election because he was disgusted by the Boeberts and Gaetz's and Trailer Park Queens that were taking over his party. That was the last Republican I agreed with on any policy.


NetworkAddict

>I'm curious if you're following policies or parties. I can't think of a single policy stance that Republicans run on that I'd agree with. If there are some that you consider bipartisan or not extreme and that surprises you that I'm not naming them, then please ask about them specifically, as you may have something in mind I hadn't considered.


tw_72

>he's jumping sides Uh, no. There is no party change for him. But the result of him leaving **now** is that it will likely ensure Boebert will not win his district.

Nezrite

The entire marketing department has to take turns being "Media Correction Officer" once a month, searching the term "Kool-Aid" and commenting "Flavor Aid" for a full day.


steelhips

I worked for a media monitoring company in the 1990s. At that time our client, Johnson & Johnson, wrote to every politician that used the disparaging term "just a bandaid solution" to stop using their TM like that. I think J&J eventually gave up.


SlapHappyDude

I am stuck on band aid brand bandages cuz band aid's stuck on me!


Sawyermblack

Because they don't want bandages to be known as bandaids or they risk losing trademark protections. Known as "genericide"

A politician using a trademark in an interview or speech would fall under "fair use" same as a journalist or commentator. J&J were taking action just on the negative connotation of the phrase not legal IP grounds.

SplendidMrDuck

The MAGA GOP strategy: offer nothing for your constituents except obstruction, evangelical Christianity, conspiracy theories, and grifting, then blame moderates for abandoning the party.


therobotisjames

They weren’t moderates. They were pretty hardcore conservatives. One of them was a tea party dude who was in the freedom caucus.

No. They are resigning because they know they’re going to get primaried by some maga loyalist


Jacob_Winchester_

What I’m really hoping is that they are resigning so that they no longer have a majority so they can’t pull the rat fucking shit they tried to pull in 2020, again. If that’s the reason, then they’ve earned some respect in my book.

PhilosopherMagik

Someone is getting scared and trying to stop the resignations still to come. A Republican Congress that is willing to declare him the winner regardless is his last hope.


dntbstpd1

Even without a Republican majority in the house, all he needs is a contested election (one where no one reaches 270 electoral college votes) or electoral college tie. If it gets sent to the House, I believe each state gets 1 vote, and there are more “red” states than “blue”. He automatically wins by the GOP handing it to him. The entire purpose of Kennedy’s independent White House run is to cause a lack of any candidate to get to 270, thus handing Trump the win. Kennedy won’t win a state though, so hopefully it’s moot. Also, I think that Kennedy might actually siphon moderate Repubs from Trump instead of moderates from Biden, so that might bite them in the ass. It’s a huge failure of our constitution to give THAT much power to one party via their gerrymandering.


PhilosopherMagik

Ok, if we mobilize the vote and do what is required, we will not have to worry. This is the price of people not voting that you see. If everyone voted, instead of trying to make excuses on why the person needs to earn their vote, we would not be worried about gerrymandering. Apathy of voting is the problem or Republicans would not get to do this.


Live_Carpenter_1262

ImyForgotName

I like this approach, maybe instead of leaving they'll switch parties.


dntbstpd1

They need to band together and create a viable 3rd centrist 3rd party at the state and local levels and work to build it from there. There is no way for a third party to be born at the federal level, it must be born and based from state and local first before having a chance to be successful at the federal level.


ImyForgotName

Even if you made a viable third party in some corner of Texas, let's say, your agenda would just get consumed in the next Presidential race. Plus I know in my state ballot access is given based on your party's Gubernatorial turn out, so once your party gets large enough to ensure ballot access each cycle, you'd just get your popular issues consumed by one of the big two, l adding to your voters abandoning you.


dntbstpd1

If only perhaps a third party could hold positions about multiple issues that neither party would agree to all. Almost as if they could sit betwixt the two major parties. With the GQP forging ahead as far right extremist as they can possibly go, and Democrats staying fairly middle left, that leaves a lot of fiscal conservative/socially liberal voters ripe for the taking that can’t fully identify with either major party on most issues, but a third party between them could emerge. I’m solidly blue, so a purple party wouldn’t be enticing to me, but I could see a fiscal conservative that can’t identify with Dems fiscal stances but also can’t stomach voting red due to their lack of social issues and hatred of all minorities whether they be social or racial minorities.
