You can't have it both ways. After the lockdowns had taken their toll, your buddies in the Democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself) were bashing Trump for the economy, which had been ARTIFICIALLY recessed. So Trump was using their OWN ARGUMENTS to show that he had brought things back to normal. But your boys in the blue states would have none of it. Now that Biden's in control, they want to play that same game and claim a 'recovery.' You guys always operate on double standards.

I get that, I was only pointing out the hypocrisy that when someone on the left posts something about jobs or anything really people on this board call it "fake news". Yet when the same stuff is posted by the right it's fine.

I used an article from Fox as an example where Trump was touting a jobs gain but when @sambowieshin posted a similar article from CNN it's called "fake news"

In both situations, the jobs gained were jobs that existed before the covid crash.

Second point, Trump touted that job gain but the nation still had an unemployment rate of over 10%. Things weren't "back to normal" as you say. They won't be for years.

Third, one cannot blame Trump for those losses in March/April 2020. I never he should be blamed. I was just using the logic of those on the right against them. So you saying "you cannot have it both ways" is also a double standard as you put it.

In reality, the only thing the current administration can take credit for would be the stock market performance from 11/2020 to the present because Trump did the same thing taking credit from after 11/2016.

GoP is done with baby hands Cheeto face. A cleanup crew already hired to clean the shit stains out of the WH.

* KA BOOM *



So much for trust.
 
You realize the zip ties were something somebody picked up off of a table in the capitol, likely left there by one of the Capitol Police officers but gotten to by one of the people who got inside.

An you Honestly believe in your heart of hearts that a group of unarmed individuals were capable of breaching the Capitol Police and Secret Service to get to Mike Pence and thusly carry him outside to actually publicly hang him from a makeshift noose? The premise of that alone is laughable and absurd on every surface. The fact you'll apply literal interpretations of things people chant in a protest is laughable as well. Did you think when Kathy Griffin held up a fake bloody trump head, that she literally had sights on breaching security and beheading Trump? do you know how many examples we can provide of people in the media and even some democrat politicians openly opining for the assassination of Trump during his presidency?
Before 1/6 I wouldn't have believed it was possible for such a large group of people to break into the Capitol and yet here we are.

If the roles were switched and it was a liberal mob raiding the Capitol, you cannot honestly say you'd have the same opinion as you do now. That's my point. I would see it the same, I would see it as Americans going against the government, and in both situations, they should face justice.

Sure what Kathy Griffin did was messed up but using that as an example isn't the same thing. She wasn't physically in the same area. The people in the Capitol were steps away from the government employees that worked in the Capitol building.

Lastly, you're excusing the guy who picked up the zip ties because "they were left there" but why pick them up in the first place? Was that man picking them up to be a nice person and return them? I don't think so.

By taking credit for the stock market I assume you mean the absolute shit performance it is having? I know my overall portfolio is down almost 8% for the year under this "performance".

Not directly related to your post, but I love how Trump's quoted is looked at by the left as praising Putin as genius, when in reality he is just saying how he is playing Joe Biden like a fiddle currently is genius. No one believes that Biden can outwit a pet rock, so of course Putin looks like a genius in comparison. But the left, see Trump is Putins clown, praising him and calling him a genius. Nooooo...just in this current situation is looks like a genius because the person his outsmarting is defenseless mentally.
 
A sliver of truth here. Most of us wish he would not have picked stupid fights with stupid people. However, as the adults in the room, we were willing to set that aside for the good of the country.

I was not a trump supporter in the primary. I voted for Carson. However, i grew to like trump because of how he GOVERNED. Our country was better off everywhere. Shoot, things were so good even CNN could succeed.
I enjoyed him picking fights with the media.

The only criticism I had of Trump was his unwillingness to take on the Deep State and fire people in DOJ. AND his stance on DACA.
 
It's a mistake to think you can reason with these people, that you can have some good faith dialogue reaching some common ground.

You conservatives, no offense, are naive in that respect. These aren't your grandad's emocrats.
Yeah. Sadly I had to re-block DukeBlu's sock and also I had to block Trueblujr2. He literally took an entire page responding to these trolls.

The point is your side won't talk policies or agendas. The blind hatred for the evil, "monster", dictator, Nazi, Trump is all you all have. or "muh..Jan.6th". None of you can discuss how his policies and the things he put in place hurt you, harmed our way of life in America, or how they made our lives worse off. You all have this blind hatred fostered into your brain by the Liberal media, and all of the doomsday, everything is racist, or Jim Crow 2.0 or everything is a "threat to our democracy" BS being spewed 24/7 about Trump with Zero basis in fact to back up those claims.

So if you want to have a legitimate discussion on "ideals" then put the blind hatred for Trump aside and talk policies. we can talk about the policies and agenda items we want to see without mentioning Trump. We honestly don't care who leads the charge on the republican side as long as they stand by those ideals. Right now, Trump just happens to be the face of that platform. I'd like to see somebody like DeSantis replace him, but it's looking like that's not going to happen just yet. Our platform is a pretty simple one. Yours isn't. So lay your "ideals" out there without mentioning a politicians name and lets see if we can find some common ground.
I have wondered ... the whole Q thing couldve been the democrat corporate media spying that was going on in the WH and Trump towers.

From what i understand, "Q" (whatever in the he11 that was) was supposedly well informed.
 
Reminder … the first thing Joe Biden did in office was to destroy our energy independence - all to appease far left loons who think cow farts are going to destroy our planet.

The gas prices you’re about to see are 100% the Democrat party’s fault.

None taken. Yeah the stock market, it's still up around 20% since election day, closer to 30% before everything started going to hell the past few months. Again, I'm just using the logic of the board against them.

I don't think a president typically has any impact on the stock market or at least they shouldn't. Most of that can be attributed to world events or actions of the FOMC (FED).

With regards to Trump and Putin or at least that "praising" speech he gave a few days ago. Yeah, it wasn't praising, the sound-byte made it sound that way but the full clip showed differently. Though it's understandable why the left would act that way based on Trump's previous interactions with Putin. The summit in Finland as an example.

So you have posts showing how you condemned the portland riots? Doubt it, Duke...

If you looked at the origin of this conversation I said "both can be bad". It's not an either/or thing.

Your logic is like me talking about a crime near me and saying "what about the crime in another area?"

Both are bad but the latter has no bearing on the situation near me.

Based on our conversations last year I know you're smarter than that.
 
I know it's a fools errand but I keep trying. After 10 years I finally moved back to KY at the start of covid. Most of my family are like the people on this board when 5-10 years ago they were completely normal.

Had some family so far gone they'd threaten their significant other over stuff like this.

Quotes I heard visiting my parents:

"When the uprising happens, y'all will be the first to go"

"We need to drive to the border to shoot those illegals, idc if they're men, women or children"

I saw numerous trucks with Trump flags and Confederate flags or the U.S. flag and the Confederate flag flying side by side.

Needless to say I moved back to Chicago because I actually felt more safe here than in small town KY.
And I don't think I have ever seen a more blatant SELF OWN than this post. Think about it, Chicago is a top ten murder rate city in this country, but you feel safer there than Podunk, KY. LMAO

I know MEAN TWEETS ruined your livelihood, but the rest of us can see what crappy leadership is doing to this country.

That's not a self-own there chief. I lived in Chicago for 10 years prior to moving back to KY so it's not like I was moving there for the first time. Also, it's not even in the top 10 in terms of the per-capita murder rate. It's still high yeah but the metro area has 9m people, the odds of one seeing a crime are slim.

The tweets didn't do anything, those were entertaining. The propaganda that led people in my small-town to become horrible people is what made me move. Hearing people talk about murdering others isn't normal. You're just brainwashed by what you see about Chicago or any metro area in the United States.

They're just going to get the War thread closed/punted here by enticing you into political conservation. They can't have open dialogue.
