I praise Trump because unemployment, before the pandemic, was at record lows while wages were rising. That he was resisting entering ever more wars and destroying nations like Libya just, cuz for the permanent war wings of both parties, this theoretically looks good. Not as forcefully as Gabby, Trump is resisting this sort of abuse and exploitation of the American people. Biden? He'll double down. If elected, expect a shooting war with Iran shortly.
Have you checked what Trump has been saying and doing about Iran for the last few years? This would be the Trump who ordered the assassination of an Iranian general and incited a reprisal that injured a dozen US personnel? Who threatened war crimes against Iran of bombing Iranian cultural sites? Trump was threatening military action against Iran as recently as last month. The US president scraps diplomacy, ratchets up tensions from mild to outright threats of warfare?
This is just absurd hyperbole, though, isn't it?
He's making the right noises. Noises people like Hillary or Biden are not. It gets a conversation started. While Hillary giggles, "we came, we saw, he died." The resistance to forever wars has to start somewhere. Gabby is better than Trump. But Trump is better than the bi partisan forever war party. Were Hillary POTUS, I have to think we would not have just killed one of Iran's terrorist generals. We'd be at all out war. It was Trump that walked things back after they shot down our drone. And the war party was pissed at him for doing so. It aint easy. There is sooo much money in war.
That Hunter is unemployable, yet is bringing down big bucks is evidence. That Joe got the prosecutor fired is evidence (though not conclusive). That Joe BRAGGED ON TAPE of getting the guy fired is evidence. Not conclussive. At what point to you state you have had enough? That your are dealing with a crook?
What noises exactly? Is it when he calls Mexicans rapists? When he threatens to bomb cultural heritage sites? When he snarls at the press like a small, irritable dog?
Correction: you choose to think that.
Again, you make assertions with no evidence and scream from the rooftop about criminal behavior while cheerleading for a mobbed up land shark who pals around with authoritarian dictators from Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Turkey. Nobody's going to believe justice is your motive when you support Trump.
A member of the Pol Pot Left may ignore what I write. May plot to murder my family and enslave me and any who survive authoritarian genocidal purges. We have to hope the truth will out.
I was wrong and short with you. I apologize. But I am frustrated. See below.
No Mexican has ever committed rape? Ever? Did you know a huge % of women that use illegal services to get into the USA are raped by their vendors? Was Trump wrong to call MS 13, people that gang rape children, "animals"? Because he did. And the Legacy media called it unacceptable that he did so. I support calling child rapists animals.
This is where I got short. Trump, like it or not, has done a fantastic job for which I think he will be rewarded with re-election.
There is no reason to think or pretend that Trump is actually doing anything substantially different on this score. And "selling out the US to China" is overheated. Foreign companies giving our politicians some mild conflicts of interest is hardly any different from domestic ones doing so. Garden variety soft corruption is something that both Biden and Trump have engaged in quite a lot. Much like the blue wave #resistance, Trump isn't resisting shit.
He has increased the number of drone strikes over even Obama, just as Obama increased them over Bush, so his "noises" are just hot air. Pretending that he's an improvement is as silly as pretending that he's substantially worse.
You're not frustrated, you're just taking out your problems on us. You do it again below.
See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I expressed criticism of Trump, and you immediately bellow at me as if I have committed some grievous moral trespass. You then go on to strawman my argument and declare yourself the moral one in the equation by bringing up a tangentially related crime.
No he hasn't. He's just been effective at hurting people you hate. And if you think over 90,000 dead Americans is a fantastic job, then we'll never be friends because that legitimately horrifies me.
He only appears that way if that's what you want to see. Multiple people have asked you how a billionaire jet-setting real estate shark and TV personality who shits in a literal golden toilet can be anything but an elitist, and instead you just insist that Trump is fighting to save us the Iranian-Mexican Satanic Pedophile Church. If the only way you can claim the moral high ground is by comparing yourself to monsters, real or imagined, that's not a good thing.
Your evidence has no merit because you author the connective tissue yourself and disregard evidence that is inconvenient for you. Hell, the fact that you prefer to him by his nickname instead of anything slightly less familiar indicates that you've decided the man is innocent, fuck the evidence to the contrary.
Our Legacy media went whole hog for the poison gas narrative. An HRC White House would have us in Syria full on. Really is trying to get us out. Just, faster please. Do we have drone strike numbers? Again, he was going to do an air strike over the Iran downing of a US drone and pulled back, for which he did get criticized.
Bringing up the, "Mexican's are rapists" lie is a huge part of the problem. Even then, in the primaries, Trump used hyperbole to set himself apart from the pack of some 13 other better experienced contenders, he was NOT making racist comments. But a legacy media compliantly repeats this lie, and your inclusion of it here is part of the problem.
White people don't get to decide what is racist against people of color. People of color do. If you want to tell me what you believe is racist against white people, you can. Not saying I'll agree, but if you take genuine umbrage toward being called a cracker, I couldn't question that if I wanted to.
You're doing it again. You go from 0 to Apocalypse in a sentence and it makes it hard to talk to you.
And when you make gratuitous, facile claims that the only reason people disagree with you is because they have malign intent, expect not to make a lot of friends.
I'm a "person of color", and I say it's not racist. Therefore, it's not racist.
Well, with people all too happy to make excuses for morons I'd certainly take the opinion of someone with something on the line over the typical Trump supporter.
What you consider "unemployable" is not what is actually considered unemployable in the executive world, though. Neither administrative discharge nor drug use is very notable at all in that world. Both are really, really common.
When the claim in question is that he fired him for a specific reason-- to quash an investigation-- then the very bare minimum evidence you need is to actually demonstrate that there was an investigation in the first place.
When I was in the service, they assured us that being discharged for reasons other than Honorable was a major black mark against employ ability. I believe that. When you add to it, that with Hunter's clout, his discharge was not just a run of the mill issue, he just is not employable. But there he was, bringing down big bucks.
Yes.

A think tank devoted to analyzing United States foreign policy "from a realist perspective" (which is to say a polite warmonger's perspective) suggests that the large increase shouldn't count because it's mostly in Afghanistan, but it's not clear why that should matter. I mean, this doesn't look like a good reason to me:
So, you believe anybody discharged from the military will just never attain a high position-- even in an overseas company, with no connection to the US military-- without corrupt shenanigans going on?
But you haven't actually demonstrated that he was "positioned" to investigate him. There's no indication at all that such an investigation was happening, or was about to happen. We literally just have Trump and Giuliani's word.
The recently-fired IG was inspecting Pompeo's abuses of power and whether or not the administration's arms deals with Saudi Arabia were actually illegal. Funny how Trump keeps firing people for doing their jobs.
