I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

Agreed! And the left called Cheney, a nazi and hitler sympathizer. Yet, since he is still a war monger and Trump isn't, he is voting for kamala, who continues to send billion$ of our tax $$$ to ukraine a war, ukraine will never win. Dems have called over 60+ Republicans nazis, fascists, a threat to democracy. Its what dems do, fear mongering, but the real fascists sit on the far left
That's not exactly true but hyperbole is so much fun, right?
That bit about Trump being a fascist and using language and strategies which reflect that fascism is upsetting for Americans. We all show that in different ways.

oh yeah, because hyperbole is when you disagree LOL
Trump was POTUS for 4 yrs, what did he do that was fascists? We had ZERO wars. We have more freedom of speech than we have now. People were making more $$. Food prices were low. Mortgage rates wicked low. Gas prices low! putin didn't dare to invade ukraine. Abraham Accord kept peace in the middle east. FACT!

Read the thread where all of these things have been discussed.

I don't need to refer to anything. I lived the Trump presidency and know for a fact, that our Republic thrived under his presidency. And he will again, when he is voted back to the WH. Hope you can handle your meltdown LOL

they're not feelings, they're FACTS!! Trump's success during his presidency is evident to the record.
Sure, that's how his devoted fans feel about Trump's record but the evidence and expert analysis doesn't support those feelings. It's important to keep in mind that Trump's record of accomplishments include being the single largest source of misinformation about a pandemic and then assembling a mob that attacked the Capitol to intimidate Pence into breaking the law for him.

hmm I wonder what happened with the party of JOY? kamala and her cult followers have gone dark. They're invoking hitler, nazi, fascists, you name. Looks like the joy vibe was just fake, as their cult leader is. Sadly, dems don't realize that voting for kamala, will take us way way back. Our Republic will become like San Francisco. Thankfully, most Americans are tired of lies dems spew every election cycle, and then do nothing. We are not woke, but we are AWAKE!
Btw, kamala just turn down doing Rogan's podcast. She knows she cannot answer questions for 3 hrs. Sad!
The democrats don't care if the world will end as long as they prevent Trump from being president again.
Trump isn't ranked as a great president. Trump is ranked among the worst.
Trumps accomplishments include 2 impeachments, several indictments, a bunch of felonies, a sexual abuse finding, a big fraud case in NY and a completely mismanaged pandemic. Then there's his scheme to try to retain lost power using lies and threats.

That's not what you were saying earlier this Summer, even after his disastrous debate performance. Is it?
Surely you jest. I thought Biden was too old in 2020 and said so. I have simply denounced the idea that Biden has dementia when he clearly has obvious evidence of normal aging. I bet you didn't misunderstand my stance after all of those posts and exchanges.

That's some interesting hyperbole right there. Have you heard Trump talk?

Anecdote versus evidence.
Yeah! What did Trump do that was fascist in his first term?

....and he's still the better choice.
LOL
That's not really supported by the evidence given that Trump is a pathological liar who already showed that he doesn't care one bit about the constitution. But, millions of people have set aside their critical thought and discernment to vote for him.
