I think that it would physically kill him or some of the others here to ever admit that Trump did something right. That is what years of media conditioning does. It is very hard for people to learn to look at direct sources and form their own opinion. Most think that they have their own opinion, but when pressed have no more than "they are saying" I saw an article", "The news says" or at best, "muh research" which is googling for the top result that fits your narrative. When you have legacy media outlets lying and campaigning for one party for over a decade, this is the end result.

That's fair. I don't fully trust musk either. What i would ideally like to see is a shift to a bipartisan search (although I doubt the dems would cooperate) and transparency to the point where every single thing is viewable to the public. That would be enough to help offset the potential of Musk or Trump taking things too far with power in this. I understand a stance like "I just don't trust Musk/Trump to do it fairly." What annoys me is irrational thoughts acting as if overspending isn't a problem and the media purposely lying about this affecting social security. Overall, I would have much rather seen Trump than Harris, but don't care for him either. Given the choice, I decided that I would prefer a President who runs his mouth like an idiot, but actively works hard with an intent to improve the US than one who gives fuzzy happy platitudes, but does absolutely nothing. There is a slight chance that he goes off the rails, but I trust that if him or Musk were to ever get too power hungry, that enough Republicans would shift and get him out.

To the libs out there protesting DOGE like it is the end of the world. Do you think that the US has been inefficient in their spending over the past few decades? Is DOGE terrible to you because of who is behind it or what it consists of? If Obama or Biden did this, would you have still been against it? Personally, I can say that some things go beyond politics. I am fine with this regardless who the president is. Same way that I was glad to see Biden put through an infrastructure bill (despite the climate scheme pork.) No President is 100% good or 100% bad. Financial accountability and transparency in the government was desperately needed and the spending leaking out has proven it. Edit: One last request. They aren't going after our Social security, every cabinet member for any president is unelected and some wasteful spending was definitely uncovered, so don't play those three cards and give sensible replies only.

Wow, a cheap and baseless insult three days after the conversation ended? Try to make your trolling less obvious. Welcome to my ignore list. Edit: If I was sick, I would consult my Primary care provider. I would not try your Natty Ice and meth "treatment", and I would definitely not reach out to an old, unethical quack who is probably currently living in a third world county due to losing their license after "prescribing" too many opioids to themselves and their friends.

I am not deflecting, the question is very relevant. Are you against the misspending of tax dollars? The dems and media are trying to scare the masses into thinking "ThEy GoNnA tAkE mUh, SoSha LSeCoOriTeE!" but no on in their right mind should buy into that. This is resulting on MORE freed up money making it LESS likely for the need to cut vital services. Perhaps The victims of Helene and the wildfires would have had more aid if the money wasn't going towards proselytizing the LGBT lifestyle to other countries I know that many including you have been conditioned by the media to be 100% against Trump even if he cured cancer or made world peace, but if it was from someone else, would you be happy with reducing frivolous spending or helping disaster area residents? Or do you just prefer in general that your tax dollars are wasted?

The US having a surplus would be positioned as "Trump hoards Millions in treasury! How Americans could lose ALL of their social services."

I posted, you responded. Get it straight. If you are too senile to remember the order of posting after ten minutes, then maybe you aren't mentally fit to be here. You are nothing more than a bitter, ignorant old man and if you think that I am wrong on everything, this means that I am on the right track. People should strive to think opposite of you. You are a sad and bitter person and should be pitied.

He was my least favorite coach when here, but seemed like a nice person who genuinely cared for his players, He also had some success as a coordinator and player. RIP Dick Jauron, and my condolences to his family.

Anti_Christ? That's a new one for Trump. I'm used to Christian Nationalists and Penecostals calling Clinton and Obama that, but I've never seen a progressive try to play that card with Trump.

Libs were fine when Soros and Gates were doing it for the other side. The hypocrisy is obvious. Give it a rest.

Looks like a judge stepped in and blocked Musk from accessing the treasury. Thank God that they rescued the government from having financial accountability while helping Americans fight for their right to have their tax dollars wasted and misspent. Thanks also to the media for telling us what to think about it (that DOGE is bad cause Orange man bad) Crazy how those MAGA's wanted transparency in their government. How dare they! We have a right to be lied to by the government and media. Kidding aside, Do progressives actually want to help people or is scaring them into accepting third-world living conditions and dividing the country to the verge of Civil war the only things that they care about?

Ryan Fitzpatrick: Hall of Famer? or First Ballot HoFer?
dgrochester55 replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I do like fun, and I do like Fitz, but I do not think that he is a Hall of Famer. He was one of the best backups of a time, which resulted in him often finding his way back to starting, but at no point was he considered a top 10QB, let alone at an elite top Tier. To add more perspective, Philip Rivers was a good QB who probably won't get in. Would you have started Fitz over Rivers over a long term period of time? Fitz's best chance of getting in would be as an announcer if he were to stick around for a couple of decades and stand out as one of the best and most entertaining. -
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/southwest/texas-dem-al-green-gaza-articles-of-impeachment/ Couldn't even wait a month. I wish that they would add a rule when anyone who puts up an invalid impeachment charge loses their job after. Progressives will hopefully keep this crap up until only the sheepiest of the left buy any of their lies. That way, we never get what we had under Biden again. Note to dem politicians, grow the hell up, get a life and try to make the country better instead of wasting politicians time and the court resources.

Agreed, but the gap is even larger. 20-30 years ago when Pat Summitt had a woman's dynasty for Tennessee she would scrimmage them against division 3 mens teams, but eventually went to intramural players because there was still too much of a gap in competition to keep up. Women's basketball has advanced since then, but a top Division 1 Women's team would still struggle to reach .500 in men's d3 or NAIA. In a sport like tennis where the gap is closer, Serena in her prime might crack the top 100 in men's, but not much higher. A premier woman athlete may beat an average schmo or maybe even a lower level league player, but they would fall short against a top ranked male. The reality is that a bench player for any D1 men's team could get snipped and lead the women's division in scoring during the next season. There is a reason why most people (including many who were for trans rights otherwise) knew that it was a bad idea to let boys play girl's sports.

He doesn't, you just hate anyone that thinks differently from you and want to go back to the days where dissenting views were censored. You also hate that you can't treat the country like.Veruca Salt treats her parents in Charlie and the chocolate factory ("I want a pony!") and that the country is exposing the wasteful spending." Why do you hate freedom of speech and fiscal responsibility.?

Cut the crap. The "ThReAt To DeMoCrAcY" schtick fell on its face. Your party pulled s&%t like this for four years. Most Amercians can see right through the childish assumptions and manipulation. If your party wants any chance of winning in two or four years, take ownership of went wrong for and try to be better. No redirects or childish assumptions please. Now, what is your real question?
