Grim Reaper 6 Posted July 21 Author #78 Share Posted July 21 3 minutes ago, Sherapy said: Indeed, it is time to progress, and a leader while not expected to be perfect cannot be a convicted criminal, anyone that is gonna give the keys of their house to a convicted criminal needs to work on having better boundaries. I certainly agree with you Sheri, the last thing the United States needs now is an individual with 30+ felony convictions. The only place he should be is in prison, like any other American who committed those crimes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with you, I just believe if we’d addressed the overall problem decades ago we wouldn’t have wound up at this point. To put it another way while Trump is “a” problem he’s far from “the” problem. The only way to take care of the current problem is with a clean slate, otherwise we’re screwed yet again. cormac 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's a magic bullet. I was, sort of, kind of 'happy'?? "Trump is dead! They've killed that narcessistic idiot, that failed dictator!" But my next thought was, "these Neanderthals - USAns - will start a civil war, a war that would have an effect on the rest of this planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. ..how much of that ^ standing debt was run up by trump? It jumped up to pay for his idiotic handling of COVID…and was greatly increased by his idiotic tax cuts for corporations & the very wealthiest . From your linked article: “The new debt is also financing tax cuts of the Trump era, which are set to run until at least 2025.” https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-national-debt-dilemma#chapter-title-0-4 “In the 1980s, the Ronald Reagan administration vastly increased defense spending and enacted sweeping tax cuts, ushering in a new period of rising debt. During the 1990s, a combination of tax increases, defense cuts, and an economic boom reduced the debt as a percentage of GDP. In 1998, President Bill Clinton and a Republican-controlled Congress oversaw the first of four consecutive years of budget surpluses—the first such streak in forty years. Deficits returned under President George W. Bush, who led a period of tax cuts, war spending in Afghanistan and Iraq, and major new entitlements, such as Medicare Part D, which added prescription drug coverage to the program. Annual deficits hit record levels—more than $1 trillion—under President Barack Obama, who, in response to the Great Recession, continued the Bush administration’s bank bailout program and provided hundreds of billions of dollars in fiscal stimulus.” Edited July 21 by lightly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted July 21 #84 Share Posted July 21 40 minutes ago, Unusual Tournament said: To beat Trump the democrats will need someone not just strong on policy but strong of character because Trump is charismatic. It’s a difficult thing to say but Orange man is entertaining and has personality beyond his political views. The options for the democrats are limited and Clinton is the only one with enough mongrel to run him down I agree for tail gaters or WWF events low brow silly stuff convicted felon man was a hero idol buffoon to adore, BOM and that type charisma as you put it isn't fitting for serious things much less top office of the country it results in a life costing incompetent bumbling failure and blaming others for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask a Canadian, "hey, are you American?", you, as the foreigner you are, better duck. But they really ARE Americans, just like Peruvians or Brazilians. HI Rob Yes we identify as Canadian although we do have some that wish they could be a US citizen without having to move from here. When I use American it is in reference to the US only as Central or South define it's location. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramelin Posted July 21 #91 Share Posted July 21 You USAns, you are the only real 'guardians' of this planet. But those that support an idiot like Trump, or a near senile Biden, make us Europeans feel nervous, because you USAns don't want/like a 3d voice, a third party. We Europeans are not a unity, and we probably never will be. Why? History. Must of us have been at war with eachother. A couple of decades ago, a century ago, or centuries ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted July 21 #92 Share Posted July 21 1 hour ago, Abramelin said: I hope that you USAns will one day drop that primitive 2 parties system. It's a black and white system, left and right, and nothing in the middle or near the edges. Ever heard of coalitions between multiple parties with different political agendas? Of course not. Yeah, we had a revolution against that sort of government. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Presidents prioritised demand which is the correct thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted July 21 #98 Share Posted July 21 Well. the sock-puppet presidency is over. This is an opportunity for the party to retire to the smoke-filled back room, at the convention, and choose the best among them to run for the office of the president and vice-president. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I use American it is in reference to the US only as Central or South define it's location. I'll never forget the conversation I once overheard when I was on vacation in Peru. I was waiting for my mates in a railway station in the north of Peru. A train stopped and a big guy stepped out. He had a baseball hat on, wore a checkered shirt, and carried a big Hasselblat camera around his neck. "Idiot", I thought. He was just asking to be robbed. But ok, he introduced himself to a Peruvian guy who appeared to be his guide to be. "Hello, I'm XXX, I'm from America". I'll never forget his guide's respons, "Wow, what a coincidence! So am I !". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
