the people i know, I consider friends

the people in what I consider bad shape, are what I consider acquaintance
- homiedclown

So then u meant to say “my friends are all much better off than 4 or 5 years ago”
and not
“Everyone you know...”

U realize how that’s very biased??
You literally are only talking about those doing well, and ignoring those who aren’t

And again...
these reasons you’re mentioning are secondary factors


The simple FACTS are that LESS people are making an income (vs cost of living & inflation) that can consider them in the “middle class”

And that number has IN FACT been shrinking for decades

your hero had meetings with his mentor Putin with no one there to record the conversation...he net with edrogan in the white house while outside that dictators thugs physically attacked demonstrators...he also befreinded a saudi king responsible for the vicious murder of a journalist and el trump also is a fan of little rocket man, the dictator of n. korea...before covid trump welcomed xi of china to mar a lago...

what's your point of that picture?
- Michael Pachla

Somehow this picture lets Trump off the hook for conspiring with Putin???. 🤷 I guess.
Notice all the trumpets show memes or pictures and we use paragraphs with proof and facts. Strange eh? How could they ever be so manipulated ?

So you personally think that you're better off now than you were four years ago? I am not challenging you - I am just curious as to what is better in your life?

So does the health of the rest of the country matter? I mean, we have done the worst job in the world handling the virus (200k deaths by election time), our intelligence community is in shambles and we have someone trying to become a dictator. Does any of that matter?
- Slump Buster

How is people attending parties infecting each other a presidents fault? Take NY and NJ disaster of a response to Covid and we have one of the best death rates in the world. This is a virus with no cure. 4 months ago epidemiologists said 70% of people will contract it. The narrative went from stopping hospitals to be over run to now its bad if some healthy person gets it and doesn’t even know the US is bad. I don’t get it. If other countries tested like we do their numbers would be the same. You really believe the numbers from higher populations of Russia and China? 😂

Should i just give up on trying to discuss hockey tonight with you fools? 😂😂😂

Yes Trump and Russia. Do you need to borrow more tinfoil for that hat of yours?

What has Trump done that’s been a “disaster”? Because people that don’t think like you means he’s a disaster? Everyone knows Trumps personality is scummy. so is Biden’s. He literally sexually assaulted his staffer and democrats don’t care.
- Fattony1187

- 170k needless deaths, not to mention his lack of response to this day that has devastated the economy with millions still out of work (including me) while he looked the other way
- A disastrous foreign policy that can only be explained by the fact he has been compromised (both sides agree that this has been a disaster)
- A tax cut that put trillions to our deficit

For the record, the woman that accused him was deemed to have lied as she changed her story repeatedly. If there was substance to it he would have been skewered in the Dem debates.

So back to you... what has he done that you liked? Honest question, as an independent I don't get the tribalism on either side. It prevents people from calling a spade a spade.

you can challenge me, doesn't bother me


part of it, I worked close to 100 hours a week for 10 years to build wealth, eliminate all forms of debt and create a savings


I plan on semi retiring in 2 and a half years, at 52



my business has grown over the last decade, in part due to large store closing smaller stores and my ability to diversify and sell on internet


left my job 2 plus years ago to just work on my business, and 2 or 3 years from now I will be able to downsize my business to a 20 to 24 hour work week



part of why I am better now, simple my work ethic and drive in my 30's and early 40's


part is being really good in my business, which I have been learning the trade since I was 10


part of it is the buying power of the middle class

It's his fault because if he had taken leadership and forced the country to wear masks for three weeks we wouldn't be in this position. This had to be a federal job - governors from both sides of the aisle were begging him to lead. Other countries have already beaten this because they followed the simple playbook.

You're right and Trump is right when he says that we are best at keeping infected people alive. That's completely true. But if we are also outpacing the rest of the world by our rate of infection that stat becomes meaningless.

covid


and the left is more worried about post office meetings then taking care of those unemployed

before covid, everything was going really well

jobs, stock market, etc


of course those that rip trump now over covid, also ripped him for not letting people from china and europe come into our country in Feb

Exactly. Is your post supposed to disprove what we are saying? The bi partisan senate intelligence committee released a1000 page document this week showing the collaboration and coordination between Eric prince, kushner, Donny jr, and a Russian intelligence officer (spy). Others were mentioned.

What is your point again? Wasn’t Covid supposed to be over in the hot weather? Bleach and uv light enemas? I remember you and your buddies crowing on here about it didn’t matter what Trump did because your retirement account was going up. (Nice morality btw) and all of a sudden the market crashed about March 14 or so. All the big talk stopped. It’s common for people who gamble-or dabble- in the markets to think they are really smart and shrewd when the market is going up and up on an artificial wave of tax cuts and deficit spending. Funny how republicans are complaining about the deficit now eh?

Trump is desperate to get the economy back so he can run on it because that’s the only thing he can say that he did well- ignoring the fact that Obama was in fact responsible for th economy recovering from 2008.

That's all well and good - I don't think you answered the question (unless I am dense, which is possible). How are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?

You can take that conspiracy any way you want to go. The bricks were either left by Antifa, the boogaloo boys or the cops.

Fascinating really. There's a case for any one of them.

Or there are just bricks around and there is no conspiracy.

It’s understandable to want to see him do more in the AHL

Hopefully we can make enough additions that we don’t have to slot him into the lineup before he actually “earns it”
We’ve done that too much over the years

1. no debt
2. no mortgage
3. on line sales up due to middle class buying more product

True. I would be hesitant to blame anyone though really. Maybe hard hat got a new job and fell of the wagon and forgot where he left his brick load? I dunno.

So what did Trump do to wipe our your mortgage?

Again, the economy kept humming under trump before he screwed up this year. My 401k is also good, and was good when he took office.

Biden, the worst case is he strokes out before taking office and an extreme left supported by bernie, takes over and runs the country. I mean she dropped out before the first vote was cast in the Dem primary.


second worst case is he lives and stays healthy for his term and goes on another 4 year apology tour, ruins the economy and makes us have to pay double in taxes and double in health care



at a glance, and I don't wish death upon anyone in office before someone thinks or suggests I want Biden dead

Interview between Michael Grunwald of Politico Magazine and Stuart Stevens a winning GOP operative. I’d definitely recommend reading the article but this stood out to me:

GRUNWALD:Even during your career, long before Trump, when has the Republican Party stood for fiscal sanity? It’s blown up the deficit every time it’s taken power.


STEVENS: You’re right! In 1994, after Bill Clinton raised taxes, I and every other Republican consultant made a million ads about how this would lead to the Dust Bowl. Instead, it led to the greatest period of economic expansion in American history. He was the last president to wrestle the deficit to a standstill.

GRUNWALD: Obama cut the deficit, too.

STEVENS: It’s true. The deficit has gone down much more under Democrats than Republicans. That’s a fact. You can’t argue with that. It’s a perfect example of how Republicans never believed what they were saying. If you asked them to take a lie detector test, do you believe in lower deficits, they’d say yes and pass. But they were never willing to do anything to back it up.

trump did nothing to wipe out my mortgage

working 100 hours a week for over a decade wiped it out and funded my retirement

the strong economy helped my business

Ah yes. Because if Biden was President we would of had zero deaths 🙄🙄. You know, the guy who called Trump racist for banning travel from the country the virus came from. Great leader there ...

sorry, the girl didn’t lie and Kamala Harris, Biden’s own VP pick stated she believes her.
