Do you not realize how close we were to a one party state?
No, please enlighten me.

Hell they wanted a one party state so bad there was 2 assassination attempts
Ah yes, the nefarious "they".

And by "they" you're talking about one deranged conservative kid who by all the evidence was motivated by nothing more than a desire to be famous by killing someone famous, and one Vivek/Haley supporter. But tell me more about "they".

What type of defense is "well there is an opposition party so the intent to make America a third world country by continuing the inflation, opening borders, cutting the penises off of gay kids and continued attacks on free speech doesn't matter"
It's the type of defense one makes up because they have no rational position to defend so instead they invent a cartoonish caricature of the opposition to attack as a distraction.

You claimed that voting for the status quo would turn us into a third world nation. The status quo means doing the same. So I challenged you to explain how the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth doing the same thing it always does would turn it into a third world country. Still waiting for an answer on that.

The rest of your post is just hard to take as a serious set of beliefs, yet I've interacted with you enough to know that you really do believe them. Inflation was a global phenomenon resulting from the disruptions of COVID. The US handled it better than all of our peer nations and it had already fully subsided by the time Biden left office. So claiming the Dems fully intended to keep it going is just plain stupid.

You already said the borders were never open.

Cutting penises off of gay kids... This is too stupid to even comment on. Moving on.

Attacks on free speech??? Says the guy now supporting the president who is ordering the FCC to investigate news networks he doesn't like, deporting students based on their political views, ordering the DOJ to investigate former employees for their political views and now ordering the investigation of a rival political advocacy group. Right, tell me more about how much you value free speech.

Yeah that's the typical throw away response I would expect.

Neither of those individuals were known to be Trump supporters, but they certainly weren't blue blooded democrats acting on subliminal orders from MSNBC as you guys love to portray it. Two random individual people do not represent an entire political movement in any rational sense, especially when they didn't even share the ideology you guys are trying so desperately to slander. The point is that your implications here are absurd.

@TheGreatSunGod
the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime
When you are rich and famous, you can do anything. Grab them by the pussy
You mean want to be famous. Trump became famous after he was sued for grabbing E Jean Carroll’s pussy.

Apples to oranges comparison. The government doesn't charge for it's services, it does the opposite, because government has a very different purpose than the private sector.
Sure, but that wasn't my point; point is, a given sum of money retained by taxpayers because of budget cuts has a greater chance of creating new private sector jobs than the number of public sector jobs created by that money being spent by the government.
Now to be fair, you could argue this isn't the case here since money specifically allocated to paying a public sector employee is kept by many pockets to be spent many different ways, but if those layoffs force the government to take on a smaller workload and spend less money each year than just the salaries it's doling out, then the end result is the same.

Granted, none of those benefits will materialize if the saved money instead goes toward lowering the deficit, but that's a price well worth paying if said reduction is anywhere near substantial.

There have been 9/11 conspiracy theorists since 9/11. That doesn't make it acceptable to put one in charge of Homeland security.
Fair, but it remains to be seen to what extent he'll refuse to bend to internal and external pressures; for example, in light of the Texas thing he's already endorsed the MMR measles vaccine. Some anti-vaxxers who've grown to trust RFK Jr. might now denounce him as a traitor, but a few might change their minds if the message to get their child vaccinated was coming from someone with his level of street cred within the movement.

Buteven if not, vaccines are just one part of HHS's mission. Enough positive reforms in other areas, such as getting random chemicals out of what we eat, could plausibly outweigh whatever damage he does on this front.

You think banks not ripping us off or company's keeping our air clean happens by itself?
The government's job is to enforce contracts and property rights. Insofar as a bank tries to violate either of these things, then yes, it's the government's job to stop them. But a Republican-sized government is up to the task. And, a bank can only "rip you off" in an involuntarily transaction. To frame voluntarily transactions as involuntary is doing no one a service in the long run.
From what I understand, the Biden administration made a big stink about banks charging fees for some services, such as overdrafts. I'm no expert on the subject but overdraft fees make sense; the customer is withdrawing money they don't have, which is effectively a loan. Overdraft fees let the bank recoup some of their costs incurred by people who never repay the loan, without which they'd be more inclined to deny the service to customers with poor credit. And, it discourages needlessly overdrawing, which might actually do some customers a service.

I work in a tourist attraction in NYC. Our business is down about 20% from last year, a significant reason for that is a loss of international customers. Our contacts in Canada who normally organize school groups have flat out told us they're not coming because of Trump. Just yesterday I sent an email to 4 individuals we were going to hire to tell them we don't have an open position for them to fill after having to downgrade all of our projections for the rest of the year. We cancelled the entire hiring wave where we were originally planning to hire another 9 people.
Okay. That is unfortunate. But we can't decide national policy on the basis of not angering foreign tourists who contribute a tiny sliver of our GDP.
