It is at the top of my head, which I admit is a strange thing. But I have had occasion to discuss it far too much. I have been somewhat compelled to defend my position with more than usual frequency. There is what I might call an "intent" to dislike Trump, but to pretend that this dislike is not personal, but is instead about his policies etc....which is of course not true. To me it is some acknowledgement that his policies were as good as they appear. His outcomes cannot be denied, so instead there is the effort to pretend his policies were bad. Dislike him all you want, I frankly find him unlikable, but who cares.....if your life is better and you dislike the President then move on, live better and dislike him. Let's be critcal of our leaders no matter what. No matter who they are, or what ideology they espouse. Historically they are flawed, they do some good things and they do some bad things. This movement to pretend Trump is come kind of threat is beyond comical....it really makes the Democrats look like clowns. They fear him, rightly so.....he does not have the standard political baggage with which you can leverage him. PLUS....now he has a much more clear perspective on government and its abuses and corruption....if you are in the DOJ right now, his election is likely horrifying to you.... I hope he gets in there, wipes out DOJ leadership and replaces them with impartial people...if they even still exist....and directs them to CLEAN FOCKING HOUSE and expose all their behaviors.....

This recent Palestine thing really highlights it as well. Its almost like an SNL skit. PersonA: "I do not believe that people can change their biology and become a member of the opposite sex" PersonB: "You are a transphobe!!" PersonA : " I think it is wrong for these people to march and protest in support of Hamas" PersonB" "Its more nuanced than than"

Why indeed.....

Someone needs to tell those two countries that their borders are secure, get Mayorkas on that sh!t....

But thats not what CNN and MSNBC said Its almost as if.....media wants to portray the same situation in disparate ways....depending on the participants.

Yeah, all those elements that evolution accentuated and which led to human survival and flourishing are funny I guess.

I think those two need to get a room

That is unfortunate. Often when posting our thoughts the response is "sourcce?" or "link?" as if we need some substantiation from the internet to have a thought. When I get ahead of that little game by posting the source, from a valid source I might add, you want to pretend that suddenly sourcing is not enough. Perhaps the pain of the people today is enough?

I will not be able to compel you to see what you are unwilling to accept. If you want to observe the progress that was initiated as not being true, I likely cannot change your mind. I know it was progress, I understand the implications of building the basis for progress. That was what we had, and that is what Biden unwound and destroyed.....and now we have soaring costs, diminshed value of the dollar....and think about who that hurts most....

Absolutely. All those were core policies for which Trump delivered, notably for the AA community who was finally getting some help, getting jobs and progressing....because the right policies were in place. There is no magic wand, but when you get people employed, they progress....he funded HBCU's as well, opportunity zones....all of these things were pointedly beneficial to the AA community. I want that back for them.

Joe Biden has declared those people not black I guess

Oh my....

I tried to watch it, but just couldnt.....that girl is so galatically stupid.....I just had to stop....

Please understand that for all of history, this mental illness was certainly present and those afflicted were not treated well. Science in the 20th century arrived at a conclusion, and that conclusion has been challenged.....as it should....this is how science is done. So a new idea about this emerged, and is being engaged.....but it is being done as if it is some proven "truth", and if that is not bad enough permanent changes are being done to children.....to children..... So clearly, this recent emergence suits you, and perhaps you see it as some correction to past mistakes.....but when learned scientists do not fall in line.....you seem now suddenly unwilling to move. If that is your position, why should anyone who disagrees with YOU change THEIR position? This is the problem with absolutism.

Incorrect. These were core to the Trump policy approach. They worked. Let's do them again. I do not care who does it, let Biden do it during a second term, hell.....he can even keep harveting payments from foreign adversaries....just get us back to what we had....

It really does, its not as complex as some might want to make it. You foment job growth through common sense policies that empower small to medium businesses, in parallel you ensure education is not merely well-funded, but accountable as well. If we take a simple common-sense approach, the major issues plaguing the most economically disadvantaged are easily fixed. It does require that we stop pretending its not the actions of individuals that create their own problems, and stop pretending the system is doing it. We can easily get back to where we were during the Trump admin, lower prices, higher employment, more purchasing power....just better all around. Just need to get back to those simple common-sense policies.

We might be looking at this incorrectly. Consider, if you will, that eventually there will be no women on podiums.....moreover, what if it becomes possible to say replace almost all of the WNBA with men? We suddenly have a watchable product. The incentivization of this is working, more and more women are being sidelined, prevented from access..... it sucks for them, but if none of their organizations are willing to stand up for womens rights, then so be it.....they just get screwed I guess....

The way they stepped in and cleaned up prior to the arrival of the China visit indicates they know its wrong, but also that they have the ability to deal with it....but choose to allow it. I do not think these people understand the role of government.

I think it is good and proper that these people arrive at the place where the Mayor has indicated they are more than welcome. Happy that the message got out, and the people were able to get there.

Hmmm....but apparently, they are also real... https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/#:~:text=The unemployment rate reached 3.5,a nearly 50-year low.

The only thing that should matter is why they are leaving. It would be rather useful to attempt to harvest that little point. And learn why it is they feel a place like California is no longer for them. That being said, modern Liberalism is about never being wrong, even when the results pointedly suggest it. So if they were to perhaps suggest it was crime, then the Liberal response would simply be some kind of whataboustism that suggests they are wrong, intsead of careful reflection....

Agree completely. Now we need to bring them in, reason with them, help them escape this place we find them. Its an opportunity IMHO. Further.....where did they develop this kind of poisonous thought system? Can we figure that out and fix it? As disappointing as this is, from it we should be able to find some ways to make this better.

I do think people should be able to voice their opinions, even these moronic and vile Palestinian supporters. Of course their intimidation tactics, which include supression of free speech, are problematic. Consider this, would we really appreciate the hate and poison being fed our kids at Universities if these repugnant fools were not out there showing us just how hateful and maligned they are? Is is not better to know they exist, where they are, how bad it is? Moreover, look at all the voices of reason rising to stand up to them. It is inspiring. SOme are reluctant, since these sub-humans are part of their political ally system, but they are doing it just the same!! Its great! Reason is out there, its still around....some people still have it.....I am inspired....

Some that come to mind would be.... Improving Middle-Class family income Lowering the unemployment rate for Unemployment rates for women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma Through economic emplowerment get people off of food stamps. Lower poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans Income inequality correction African American homeownership increases Incetivizing marriage and parenting through tax rebates Cut the business tax rate, accutely for small to medium business, this inspires more hiring Opportunity Zones Withdrawling from any trade partnerships that hurt domestic workers. There are more, but these are just at the top of my mind
