Biden's policies are literally crushing the U.S. economy, causing rising inflation, destroying our energy independence, and forcing everyone to pay a higher cost of living.

What's worse?
Mean words, or a collapsing economy?

Desantis/Noem 2024 is the political match made in heaven. If nobody can see the opportunity here, they are blind. They should make it official way before the primaries even hit, to keep out potential opponents, such as Trump, who is too polarizing at this juncture in my opinion. Desantis for 8 years, Noem for 8 years... 16 years without democrat rule, with a nation in basically what would be gridlock, 16 years of not bailing everyone and everything out and trying to play Robin Hood, would be another 16 years of this nation not collapsing from progressive policies... as long as the right doesn't go too authoritarian and puritan this is easily achievable.

Get too many "contraceptives banned" headlines in the MSM and their popularity will wane. People want freedom, not nannies telling them how to live their lives. It seems like neither party is actually capable of providing this.

Wow! That was quite perceptive, I like your thinking. Trump would have done well if he would've just keeping his mouth shut and stuck to his job. His good at business, but has very little political savvy.

Astounding.
Yeah, it was wonderful, wasn't it? Now we also have to suffer the absolute sabotage of having our Country run like a thriving business on the world stage.

That's all been destroyed now, purposely, and with malice.

About the only thing that remains is a slightly better SCOTUS.

Still winning.
Yeah, it's better than nothing. It might be the thread to tug on from time to time... until Novemberish... ticktoc... ticktoc...

He could have been a good president, maybe not great, if he had focused on a few things and got out of his own way. He was his own worst enemy and his mouth and ego did him in. Everyone knew he was inexperienced and not a politician, but had he focused on what he really did know and was experienced with he would have fared better. He was more engaged with the trappings of being president than actually doing the job. He was too attracted to shiny things and infatuated with his own persona. He could have surprised his critics but instead, he played into their hands. In the end, he could not pass up the con.

I always thought he could have been the infrastructure president that brought the country into the 21st century in so many areas. Transportation, communication, ports, highways and bridges, public institutions -- he knew how to do those types of major projects and he had two years of the GOP congress to get it started. He squandered those two years trying to rule by decree instead of legislation. We are still waiting for his plans for infrastructure and healthcare. The pandemic would have blind-sided any president in office, and we are still trying to recover. His approach was to politicize it and look for ways to blame others.

He gave us millions of rude, crude, self-centered morons in his likeness, that's his only contribution to America.

Exactly. Trump couldn’t get out of his own way.

True. And Biden, The GOP, and our corporation-loving Federal Government aren't going to be able to do much to reverse the damage.

What is so wrong with Loving our Country and making it a better place for everyone? Well the Democrats had plenty of doom and gloom to dump on us because they do not like America.



America was humming right along with Trump and now look at the mess we are in thanks to the Democrats.

Imagine where we would be today if the Dems had met Trump even halfway with his Pro America Plans instead of fighting him and trying to destroy him 24/7?



Trump had his ups and downs but above all the support he achieved from so many should have been a wake up call to every politician out there that We the People don't want a self serving politician but we want one that puts America First. Sadly that sentiment has been lost thanks to the perpetually grumpy Democrats.
If Trump spent more time promoting his great policies than having temper tantrums and worrying about his delicate ego he would still be president and the Dems would be in the minorty.

Instead, he spent all day tweeting nonsense whining starting petty fights, and doing stuff that would get him in hot water.

Well, all the Left has given us is a bunch of domestic terrorists like Antifa and BLM, that has kill dozens of people in riots, looting and arson, at the tune of Billions of Dollars in property damages. Now, we have Leftist nuts, many of them are elected officials, threatening physical harm to Supreme Court Justices, and an actual attempted assassination of a Justice after their Call to Arms by these same elected officials!!

So, in reality AND based on facts, who are the true morals in America?

I love how the Left are so quick to forget their own sins, while rewriting history. Simply amazing, while being scary at the same time since they truly believe their own BS and lies!!
