You know what? I actually don’t know which ones had merit and which ones were frivolous so I apologize bringing it up.


Well no one said any of them were frivolous. If a judge tosses a suit due to lack of standing or some other issue, that doesn’t necessarily mean it was frivolous.

You should just know your attempt at a point about “losing lawsuits” is grounded in complete ignorance of actual issues. Yet I’m sure you’ve heard it repeated constantly.

Given the lawsuit talking point you’ve repeated that doesn’t make sense to anyone with knowledge of the issues, you should re-examine your information sources and other talking points you continuously repeat.

Same goes for your crime stats. Everyone here knows large cities stopped reporting crime data. It’s been beat to death. But with your limited, biased information sources you were not aware.
 
As VP, she was the deciding vote for the CHIPS act, Inflation reduction act, and the infrastructure bill.
These actions were overwhelmingly responsible for the inflation that has devastated the middle, working, and lower classes.

It is incomprehensible that you or anyone else could think these were positive accomplishments. Utterly incomprehensible.

They certainly added to the debt. I think global inflation can be attributed to COVID measures. I think stimulant checks that were started under Trump and then continued by Biden did more to conflate inflation.

Inflation is certainly down, but inflation calculators does not account for everyday purchases like gas and groceries. This blinder aided in my ignorance and hubris in a winning election for Harris.
 
I am a single issue voter in that I really want to redistribute wealth from the top to the bottom and I want to reduce the deficit. You can call me a dumbass if you want, many people have done that over the years, but these are my biggest issues.

If many people are consistently telling you you’re a dumbass, you may want to start listening.
 
I appreciate the longer leash. The vagueness of his finances just doesn't sit well. Once a person reaches a certain threshold of fame, money, or power, they have to prove in tangible ways that they are telling the truth. Word alone isn't enough for me. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything to counter this. Am open to changing my mind on this if the evidence is presented.
Tangible ways like donating his salary and losing wealth while being president?

Tangible in that releasing his taxes. Tangible in providing evidence to counterclaims that he charges secret services to stay at his resorts and hotels. Also the claims that foreign embassies funneled money into those business. I'd be a lot more forgiving of Trump if he sold these assets so that these allegations could not be used against him.
Wait - a fiscal conservative whose biggest issue is wealth redistribution? Lmao.
I'm slow. I don't understand the irony here.
 
As I try to reflect on past misconceptions, I have read fewer things from mainstream media and have tried to find media that shines the light objectively.

This channel is quick to call the BS on both sides and the videos are short enough to help my ADHD brain retain at least a modicum of info so I don't drool on myself when I talk to others.

 
I did vote for Harris.

I sincerely believe that if an online group of people who were unified under a common favorite team got together, we’d find out we share more in common than we don’t. There are foundational of the far left and far right that will keep those characters from agreeing, but I bet most people with common sense would be able to find a happy middle (coming from someone without a lot of common sense)

I’ll bite on the Trump bit. I don’t like him for a few reasons. The unfair reason is that he’s extremely wealthy and I have a natural distrust for everyone that fits that category.

I think the valid reasons I have for not liking him is that he has refused to give up his business holdings while in office. Being in public office should be one of the more greater sacrifices one makes and I don’t think anyone should be able to enrich themselves whilst representing the common man.

I also think that the people closest to him that have said negative things warrants a least a second look at his capabilities or running this country. Barr, Bolton, Pence, etc. have made some very serious allegations that has molded my opinion of his ability to hold the office.
Aside from letting other people do your thinking for you, and of course your acknowledged unfair envy ...while ignoring the wealth of Obama, Biden, and the rest of the elite Dems and their uber-wealthy supporters....

Just curious, if the very wealthy give you a natural distrust do you think that a homeless person would be a better POTUS?

You do realize that 45 took NO salary and that the attacks on him and his family likely cost him millions.

Why should he give up his business holding when his family is employed and runs them. Should they just take a 4yr exit from their own careers?

Enriching themselves? Seriously. Check out the before and after net worth of the Obama's who I would assume you virtue signal as your favorites of all time. Then check on the Clintons. Then Communist Bernie Sanders. Is it their abortion stance that allows you to enjoy your hypocrisy without flinching.

Does Kamala blowing through over ONE BILLION DOLLARS for a $400K/yr job bother you in the slightest. Are you capable of shame?
 
Bored at work. Just noticed another smug, holier than thou account that can’t be tagged and page not found…..AIChatGPT.

Or as austintxcat claimed him to be (and I agree)……Buckethead.

Name three accomplishments of Kamala Harris you believe qualify her to run the most complicated country in the world.

You voted for her, she literally PAID rich people to endorse her. She took a BILLION DOLLARS from rich men and blew A BILLION PLUS TWENTY MILLION. She represents the party of the rich and actually outspent her own campaign so badly Trump offered (ironically) to pay it off for her. YOU should be embarrassed.

Do you favor Nancy Pelosi, whose Congressional salary is $182,000 but she's worth over $200M? She obtained that wealth AFTER her first election. Did you begrudge her lack of divestment?

You're full of shyte.

Barr and Bolton were fired.

Pence is a little shit who has since come back and endorsed Trump.

I love how you're all about "allegations." But proof? Nah, right bruh?
She blew a lot more than money to be put in a position to even be known.

Must be great head to have nearly became the leader of the free world.

Close to 2 trillion dollars in completely unnecessary spending. All of it looting the Treasury as the spoils of victory in 2020.

There’s wealthy people and then there’s people with cheat code amounts of money. I have no qualms with people that have millions or tens of millions of dollars. It’s the folks that have tens of billions of dollars that I have a problem with. It’s neoliberalism gone amok.

So in the context of Biden, Obama, and Bush, I can overlook their millions because a lot of it came after their presidency when they were citizens and in the form of speeches and books. Does it make me a hypocrite? I hope not. I don't think poorly of Rubio who has also been afforded these things.

I think people that run the executive office most effectively are people that have spent time in that position already so think governors. I think the next best are people who have been in the house and senate. I really hoped that Mark Kelly would have given Harris a run because of his brief time in the senate coupled with the fact that the man has time in the military and is a freaking astronaut.

Younger Big Mike really liked Mitch Daniels of Indiana and John Kasich. I think both of these guys would have been amazing presidents.


Yes, been told that Trump took no salary and lost millions, but I've never seen any proof of this. If he could clear up the murkiness of his finances, that would alleviate a major dig I have of him. Just like I mentioned before, I believe most of his children have earned millions after his stint with speeches and book deals. I have no problem with that.

Yes. That is the sacrifice of being the most powerful person in the world. Don't want that sacrifice? Don't take the job.

Taken care of your 5th paragraph.

I have a huge problem with campaign finances. It is stupid on both sides.

Ok, can’t say that looks too appetizing, but I’d at least give it a try. How many craft brews needed prior?

Craft Brews???? Hell... Home Brew..... and a lot of it... I've been on drunks but I've NEVER EVER EVER stooped or even thought to stoop to that level of drunk... That hurt my heart seeing it... 🤑 🚽 🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠

Ya'll pray for 55... 😅
