Nobody is gonna make you acknowledge the damage being done. You are dug in deep. As a kid, I watched the news, just like you, …
I listened to the nightly “body count” news during the Nam, mostly during the administration of one of the other Presidents who were impeached. Give Tricky Dick credit for stepping down.
I watched the coverage of heads getting cracked at the Democratic Convention and now compare that to January 6th.
I watched coverage of college kids shot on campus by the National Guard and now think of ICE officers killing people on the streets.
If you can’t figure it out, Ned, you are willingly compliant. The Cheeto guy is not only destroying systems and norms, he is bankrupting us and robbing us blind.
well, I watched from the inside of an attack helicopter.....
Sorry, you guys love to rant about trump...you don't like him...great. I'll bet you though (figuratively) that at then of Trump's term, the country is still here, we will still be arguing over whose fault it is that we have $40trillion in debt, you'll be saying trump and others will be saying democrats. A lot of these are the same arguments that went on during the=the Obama years, the trump 1 and Biden. Just people from different sides of the aise saying them.
If you think I support Trump's Iran "excursion" or his tariffs than you are selectively reading my posts. I have also said that DOGE was a failure, just to name a few. But I like the prescription drug, trump kids accounts, border closing, deportation of undocumented migrants (not the ICE extremes) and some others.
I'm just not in the "end is near" approach as a lot of you. If you've lived through Vietnam, Nixon: the reagan years with the high inflation, Iran Contra : the Clinton years - I did not have sex with that woman- the whitewater, the pardons, the conflicts in Haiti, somalia, bosnia and kosovo : and I could go on, then I'm kind of surprised you're so concerned about today's environments....
people wanted to oust Johnson: Nixon resigned: there were two calls to impeach Reagan: Clinton was impeached: democrats called for Bush 2 to be impeached: and there was a resolution to impeach Obama.
You could look up all the military excursions taken by other presidents in the near past.....but since you're older than many on here you remember them.
You guys don't like Trump, I get it. I wouldn't invite him home for dinner. I think he's narcistic, hard headed, and pushes the envelope, does too much at one time and runs a chaotic government. But I'm pretty sure that at the end of of his term, the country, it's government and our systems will be intact.
Bankrupting the country? We were almost $38.5 trillion in debt when Trump took office in 2026. And trump is the one bankrupting the country? To quote a great President, "come on, man" If Trump is bankrupting the country he's following in the footsteps of his predecessors. In fact his additions to the debt are equal or less than Biden's at this point of their presidencies
No matter, Trump was elected by both a majority of American voters and won the Electoral College. Voters knew what they were going to get - chaos - and yet they rejected Harris in favor of trump.
Now I know the reaction, "you can't figure it out Ned, you're compliant". I figured it out a long time ago, Bit*hing and moaning on a message board is not going to change the situation. Might make you feel good but accomplishes nothing. Have you written your representative or senators yet? What are they doing? Go March in a no king rally, that will change things...oh wait we've had at least two of those, maybe the third time will be the charm and trump will resign. I wouldn't hold my breath.
Now if you only want to talk Iran, trump has botched this royally
