    And just like the narcissist he is, he answered the only way he could.

    Do you get the impression that the supreme court doesn’t like me (an attempt to garner sympathy)

    Then "these horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives." (not to his face because he can’t admit defeat) but to the faces of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives."

    What personal attacks?

    Someone can be cordial and also be evasive and unwilling to debate

    If you come to a place meant for debate and don't 'care to back up an opinion or statement’ then that’s been dishonest – it’s trolling

    I have been saying for nearly five years that Trump & Pence are Nazi White Supremacists with links to the KKK. Today Facebook pulled Trump's advertisements because THEY CONTAINED NAZI SYMBOLS which had been used during WWII to identify prisoners in Germany's concentration camps. This news comes during the same week where John Bolton said Trump encouraged China to put Muslims in concentration camps.

    Well we know for certain Fred Trump was arrested and detained at a KKK Rally in 1927.

    Looks like he’s a chip off the old block...lol..

    Trump is frustrated with the Supreme Court after a string of defeats this week.



    Trump calls for ‘new justices’ on Supreme Court, as conservatives rage at Roberts

    Trump calls for ‘new justices’ on Supreme Court, as conservatives rage at Roberts

    excerpt:

    "President Trump, in the wake of Thursday's defeat at the Supreme Court in his efforts to repeal the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, called for new justices as conservatives took aim at Chief Justice John Roberts for what they called a “pattern” of siding with the liberal wing in key decisions.

    “The recent Supreme Court decisions, not only on DACA, Sanctuary Cities, Census, and others, tell you only one thing, we need NEW JUSTICES of the Supreme Court. If the Radical Left Democrats assume power, your Second Amendment, Right to Life, Secure Borders, and ... Religious Liberty, among many other things, are OVER and GONE!” he tweeted."

    Trump experienced a bad week of Supreme Court decisions.

    It declined to hear cases about gun ownership rights.

    It declined to hear Trump’s challenge to sanctuary laws in California that protect immigrants from being deported.

    It preserved LGBT rights.

    It decided against ending DACA.

    Wow I wonder how people farmed in the past. I mean the sun was not even born until 1946:tearsofjoy: Seriously can he ever make anything not about him? The answer is no because he is mentally incapable of empathy.

    Why the US has failed in its coronavirus response, in one Trump interview

    President Donald Trump suggested in a new interview that some Americans may be wearing masks not to prevent the spread of Covid-19 but to spite him — and that testing for the deadly coronavirus is “overrated.”

    That bewildering pair of comments, delivered during his wide-ranging Wall Street Journal interview that covered everything from Trump’s upcoming campaign rally on Juneteenth to newly reported details from former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s upcoming book, managed to both needlessly politicize basic health precautions and dismiss the importance of surveilling through testing a disease that has killed at least 118,000 Americans.


    Trump said explicitly that, even if there is a worrying reemergence of the virus, he would not pursue the kind of dramatic increase in testing that China did when it tested an entire city after the coronavirus appeared to be spreading widely through the community again.


    “I personally think testing is overrated, even though I created the greatest testing machine in history,” Trump said, arguing that more tests means more confirmed cases. “In many ways, it makes us look bad.”

    Republicans are fine with Nazis now. I think they have forgotten that Antifa once meant you stormed the beaches of France to kill people like them.

    He is in panic mode. He also said he wants to increase the number of judges. How ironic, in that is something the republicans are accusing the democrats of wanting to do.

    Trump contributed to the current frustration being expressed by the public.

    He fostered an authoritarian, supremecist atmosphere with his praise of police, some of whom had repugnant histories. He encouraged them to not be so nice to suspects.

    He refused to grapple with problems related to white supremacists and instead used the words 'fine people' when referring to them..

    Trump exacerbated the coronavirus pandemic with his denialism approach of trying to pin the issue on the Democrats as their hoax against him, implying it was a fake issue like his impeachment. Neither was fake.




    This Researcher Predicted 2020 Would Be Mayhem. Here’s What He Says May Come Next

    This Researcher Predicted 2020 Would Be Mayhem. Here’s What He Says May Come Next

    excerpt:

    "Turchin looked at data analyzing peaceful and violent anti-government demonstrations that involved at least 100 people between 1780 and 2010. Using a computer model, he also factored in economic patterns—including declining wages, wealth inequality, exploding national debt and other social pressures that affect national stability—from the same time period. The model showed social and economic turmoil in the U.S. would come to a boiling point in the years around 2020, Turchin wrote in his 2010 paper.

    Worse conditions could still be coming.

    Turchin says societal crises, which are triggered when pent-up pressures seek an outlet, can typically last for five to 15 years. If the underlying roots of unrest are not properly addressed, turbulent events are easily set off again. In South Africa, for example, which is one of the world’s most unequal countries, according to the World Bank, intense protests and anger over race and wealth inequality still rankle the country, 26 years after apartheid ended. Residents burn tires in almost-daily protests, according to the Associated Press."

    '

    The long term plan is to own the Supreme court because they know the culture is changing as it always does. Because they can not use the electoral college and rigging to win as easily as before they can burn the whole thing down. They knew the Trump backlash would come but it's too late. Even if Democrats won every election for 20 years it's hard to have real change.

    What that dumb ass doesn't understand is that ideally, any mix of Supreme Court justices is supposed to be politically UN-BIASED - not biased in favor of one side or the other. They are supposed to interpret - not make pre-fabricated decisions based only on political whims of ANY president. What Rump wants is rubber stamps for his wishes. That's NOT what the Supreme Court is designed to be - that's actually counter to what was laid out by the Founders. The Founders didn't want ANY side to get the upper hand over any opposition by others. That's the one-sided authoritarian type of regime they were leaving behind in England.

    But we can't expect Rump to KNOW this - or care. Rump wants what Rump wants, and he wants it right now ………………… spoiled brat of a child that he is. He didn't know the UK is a nuclear power and that Finland wasn't part of Russia ………………… he's nothing but a self-centered, narcissistic, used-car salesman / bullshit artist. It doesn't say much for our population that so many sucked in his load and swallowed it by voting for him to be president. It's an embarrassment to the U.S. - and the rest of the world laughs at us for being so stupid. Putin and Xi must have to change their shorts every hour or so - harems of beautiful women couldn't make them this happy.

    there is a difference between opinions and statements ?

    agreeing to disagree would be considered trolling by you?


    "LOL for someone that is on record as saying they would have no objection to slavery as long as it was advantageous to them, I’m not sure if you know what is morally right or wrong … but leaving that aside…"


    genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

    In his typical narcissistic fashion, Trump claims he made the best testing (he didn't) yet dismisses its usefulness as being overrated (because the results may hurt his reelection bid).



    Trump describes coronavirus testing as 'overrated' and calls for less if virus reemerges

    Coronavirus: Trump calls testing 'overrated' in Wall Street Journal interview

    excerpt:

    "Several states, including Arizona, South Carolina, Texas and Florida, have seen increases in cases recently. Though experts haven't agreed on an explanation, some said both lifting lockdown restrictions and isolated outbreaks have played a role.

    Trump has leaned hard on governors and local officials to reopen their economies.

    The president has argued for weeks that the high number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. is a reflection of the nation's testing regime. It is a narrative that Trump is likely to echo on the campaign trail ahead of this November's election.

    While the U.S. has ramped up testing – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 25 million tests have been administered as of Wednesday – the effort is still less than many other countries on a per capita basis."

    More Rump bullshit / scare tactics. I don't fear ANY of that - AT ALL. These are some of the same scare tactics used by the REPUBLICAN PARTY since the mid-1980's. When Bill Clinton was in and the Dems had control of Congress, the 2nd amendment, religious liberty, secure borders, etc ….. NONE OF THAT was under attack when they had total control of the White House and Congress, and a much more balanced Supreme Court. It's just bullshit to sucker people into voting Republican.

    Whenever the Repubs get in power ………. it's always the same horseshit ………………….. big tax breaks for the wealthiest people, - jobs disappearing overseas, - attempts to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, & unemployment insurance, - take away workers' rights, - gut environmental protection laws, - gut jobsite safety laws, - make it harder for the avg. citizen to sue companies for unsafe, faulty products - gut workmen's compensation laws & protections, - basically tilt everything in favor of big corporations and the very rich.

    AND REMEMBER
    ……………….

    This all started with REPUBLICAN President Ronald Reagan when he said in a nationally televised address to the American people, "We're going to change our economy from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy." That's when all the so-called "U.S. companies" took flight off shore and those millions of U.S. jobs went with them. RONNIE REAGAN started the whole offshoring process. For those who don't know - a service-based economy is one where most jobs will be in customer service ……………………. clerking in stores, restaurants, businesses, or working in landscaping / lawncare, painting, hair salons, etc. Gone are the technical manufacturing jobs with much better pay & benefits.

    As the lines in Billy Joel's song "Allentown" say ………………. "All the promises our teachers made, if we work hard - if we behave" ……………."Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got - but something happened on the way to that place -They threw an American flag in our face ….."

    YES ......…. they did throw an American flag in our faces …………………. starting with REPUBLICAN RONNIE REAGAN. I doubt many people remember that FACT - but I watched the whole nationally televised address. Those words are B-U-R-N-E-D into my memory. They ought to be burned into EVERY U.S.citizen's memory ……………. to be recalled every November on election day.

    Trump in trouble
    Why Republicans are worried about November
    The Washington Free Beacon
    May 29, 2020

    Trump in trouble | American Enterprise Institute - AEI

    excerpt:

    "Well, maybe not this time. The 2020 election looks more and more like a contest between luck and precedent. On one side is President Trump’s incredible run of good fortune. On the other side is the weight of history. Consider: Every president reelected since Mr. Gallup’s first poll in 1935 enjoyed at least one day, and often several, when his approval rating was above 50 percent. That is something President Trump has not experienced.

    Not since 1940 has a president been reelected with a double-digit unemployment rate. Nor has a president been reelected with an unemployment rate 2 or more points higher than when he entered office. Unemployment was 15 percent in April 2020, and is expected to rise for at least a while longer. It was 5 percent in January 2017. The recovery will need to have the trajectory of an Elon Musk rocket for unemployment to fall to less than 7 percent by November 3.

    That is when America will hold its 59th presidential election. In all but 5 of the previous 58 contests, the same man won both the popular and electoral votes. The fact that two of the exceptions occurred in the past 20 years has distorted our perspective. We begin to consider it not only possible but probable that President Trump could win reelection without winning the popular vote."

    Anyone else notice that the trump--suckers are getting a little scarce around here? I have said before in here, that down the line we'll be hearing---"well, I didn't like the guy." I didn't vote for the guy." ' I knew that guy was a --( fill in the blank). Sweet isn't it??

    The George Floyd protests, and the Covid lockdown created the perfect storm.

    If the court makes a decision favoring the conservatives, next week, this DACA decision will be forgotten.

    I see that three republican morons, Jim Jordan, Tom Cotton, and Rafael Cruz, have their panty's in a bunch.
