Oh, How Much Better Can This Get?

LOL. Don't let me put words in your mouth, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you just admitted that the "everyone else" you mention above is outnumbered by the "poor/welfare class, gays, immigrants, minorities, and rich elites." So, if that's the case, then isn't that the way democracies are supposed to work -- you know, the folks who outnumber the other folks (and vote) get their candidates in office? Or is it supposed to work another way?

Trump is obviously not a shoo-in, precisely because the, ahem, poor/welfare class, gays, immigrants, minorities (soon to not be minorities), rich elites, and let's not forget the socialists -- they outnumber the "everyone else." Plus the "everyone elses" are older and dying off faster than the list previously mentioned. Now last I checked, and again, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought that was the way democracies worked.

Of course, if you're advocating for something other than a democracy, I'm all ears.

Two notes from me:

1) I was horrified to find the kind of blowback Biden caught from Latino organizations for stating a couple of practical immigration policies. I cannot believe that family reunification is supposed to (pardon the pun) trump the pragmatics of immigration. The United States does not have unlimited resources, regardless of how much we blow on defense spending.

2) Conservative radio host Joe Walsh delivered some hard-hitting anti-Trump interviews in the last few days, basically finally saying what I can't believe conservatives have kept a lid on for months.

Redietz, this might be the stupidist post you've ever made. You imply I'm against fair elections. GTFO. The "everyone else" I'm referring to is the working class who have taken it up the ass for 30 years while your precious democrats take care of the poor/minorities/gays/immigrants. The working class is sick and tired of no representation. And then that "if you're advocating for something other than a democracy" bullshit. Get the fuck out you fucking buffoon. Or should I say "If you are advocating for a civil war I'm all ears."

PS: Joe Walsh is a wingnut.

You know, mickey, the "working class," which by your definition doesn't include "poor/welfare class, gays, immigrants, minorities" and socialists, I suppose, evidently doesn't outnumber "everybody else" (according to you). So what's your beef? If they haven't voted their interests, and they're outnumbered, what exactly are you complaining about? You don't like a two party system with nobody catering to the working class? Great -- welcome to the club. You may be a card-carrying communist and not know it.

Meanwhile, mickey aside, here's a column by an author whose book, The Death of Expertise, I loved. He's an international specialist with a Russia focus who teaches at the U.S. Naval War College. Not exactly a wingnut.

I have absolutely no idea how anyone following Trump for 40 years could possibly draw the conclusion he would be a working class champion. It requires you to prioritize what he said for 18 months during the campaign over what actions he took for 35 years. We're talking about 3500 lawsuits against subcontractors or launched by subcontractors because he refused to pay them. It was his standard operating procedure. If that's how you make decisions, okay, more power to you.

Trump was so desperate for loans in the early 90's, he tried to acquire some money from Las Vegas sources. The conversations did not go well. He then began his relationship with Deutsche Bank -- after what most people would consider a last ditch effort.

Redietz, you are really going off the deep end here lately. Do you think I give a rats ass about what a TDS Never Trumper has to say? I already studied them assholes. They're bullshit. Nichols is just another wingnut pushing an agenda. Then you come up with the weirdest shit "40 years Trump didn't do anything to show he's a working class champion." WTF? Oh, thats right, you're a far left TDS socialist. It ain't that 40 years. It's what he campaigned on and followed through on.

Seal the border
Cut taxes
Cut regulations
Create jobs
Tariffs on goods of the companies that move out of US
Repeal Obamacare

That's what makes him a working class champion. And he's gotten most of it done. He's still plugging away on getting the border sealed, though the asshole dems fight him every step of the way. Dems are phony hypocrites because they used to be for sealing the border until it became a Trump cause. He couldn't repeal Obamacare because of traitor John McCain who stabbed the working class in the back just to get Trump. But he did get rid of the individual mandate.

There's another thing I like about Trump. For decades you lefties have had it your way with the name calling. Calling conservatives racists, fascists, nazis and a host of other viscious names. Bush43, McCain, Romney were all called that by you lefty trolls. No pushback. They didn't say jackshit back. Now comes someone, Donald Trump, that pushes back. Calls you unscrupulous lefty, socialist punks what you are, SLIMEBALLS!!!

And you lefties go into convulsions over it. "Woe is me!!! Woe is me!!! Boohoo!!! Boohoo!!! Trump called me a name!!! He can't do that!!! I'm a lefty!!! I have a right to call him names!!! He doesn't have a right to call me names!!!! He's!!!! He's!!! He's a moron!!!! Yeah, thats it!!! He's an idiot!!! Thats the ticket!!!! Trump has to go!!! Trump has to go!!! He can't call me names!!! Where's my safe space?"

That's why you lefties detest Trump. He pushes back on you name calling socialist idiots and you can't stand it. Its been a pleasure watching you lefties have to take a dose of your own medicine. And it's been an orgasmic pleasure watching you lefties squeal like pigs over it. A bunch of banshee chickens. Squak!!! Squak!!! Squak!! LMAO at you sissified punks.
