The Donald Trump Score Card

I know several white suburban women who are vehemently opposed to trump.

 

The behavior of Ben Carson has been what would be expected for someone with no experience in housing before Trump appointed him as secretary of HUD, a cabinet level department.



The many ways Ben Carson has bumbled through his time at HUD

excerpt:

"November 15, 2016: After reports that Carson turned down an offer from Trump to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, his business manager and confidant Armstrong Williams tells the Hill, “Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

March 2, 2017: Carson is sworn in as HUD secretary.

April 12, 2017: Firefighters rescue Carson and six other officials from a broken elevator in an affordable housing complex in Miami.

May 3, 2017: The New York Times quotes Carson as saying that compassion means not providing “a comfortable setting that would make somebody want to say: ‘I’ll just stay here. They will take care of me.’”

May 24, 2017: Carson says in a radio interview that “poverty, to a large extent, is a state of mind.”

July 6, 2017: HUD’s deputy general counsel for operations writes a memo raising concerns that Carson’s decision to let his son and daughter-in-law help organize his Baltimore “listening tour” ran afoul of federal ethics rules.

December 23, 2017: A federal court strikes down Carson’s attempt to undo an Obama-era program that makes it easier to use housing vouchers in affluent neighborhoods.

January 5, 2018: Carson delays, until 2020, enforcement of the signature Obama-era fair housing rule requiring communities to analyze housing segregation and submit plans to reverse it.

February 20, 2018: Asked whether HUD is investigating Carson’s family, a spokesman for HUD’s inspector general says, “It’s an open matter.”

February 27, 2018: The Guardian reports that a HUD senior career official was demoted and replaced with a Trump appointee after refusing to approve Carson’s request for a $31,000 dining set. The legal limit for office decor is $5,000.

March 5, 2018: A HUD internal memo indicates the agency will remove anti-discrimination language from its mission statement. The same day, the New York Times quotes Carson as saying, “There are more complexities here than in brain surgery. Doing this job is going to be a very intricate process.”

May 8, 2018: Housing advocates sue Carson and HUD for delaying the Obama-era anti-discrimination rule."

 

I thought she said 9 seconds.

 

These people, and people who live in other rural areas, are the very people who voted for trump.
Rural Utahns worry about post offices

 

Lately, not so much--praise and endorsements, that is, except from the usual sycophants.

Rural Utahns worry about post offices

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump has questioned the USPS’s ability to handle ballots by mail and referred to the postal service as “a joke” in March 2020.

However, according to the Pew Research Center, the USPS has a public approval rating of 91%: a rate higher than any other government office.

Cost-saving measures like reducing post offices, regionally adjusted pricing or even shortening the delivery week from six days to five days have been proposed as solutions to the USPS deficit in the past.

For the citizens of Boulder and other rural towns, this could mean a whole host of difficulties. Without a currently staffed post office, the town is already feeling some of those effects as residents must drive over an hour to and from the post office in Escalante, Utah, to buy stamps or pay for postage

“We've got people who receive Social Security checks, pension checks and medication through the mail,” said Van Wetter. “If we lost our post office, that would mean that our aging population has to travel 40 miles over two-lane highways to get those same things.”"

Postal Service: Trump says he opposes funding USPS because of mail-in voting - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"During an interview on Fox News, Trump said that if USPS does not receive the additional $25 billion funding request that Democrats included in the ongoing stimulus negotiations, then he believes the Post Office won't be able to handle the influx of mail-in ballots in the upcoming election.

"They want three and a half billion dollars for something that'll turn out to be fraudulent, that's election money basically. They want three and a half billion dollars for the mail-in votes. Universal mail-in ballots. They want $25 billion, billion, for the Post Office. Now they need that money in order to make the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump said, repeating his false claims that mail-in voting would be "fraudulent."

"But if they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting because you they're not equipped to have it," Trump added.

Trump has criticized mail-in voting for months, baselessly asserting that it will lead to voter fraud.

 

Is your suburb full of white suburban women is it?

 

It's irrelevant at the moment anyway, you have to offset the hit to investment properties Covid is currently going to deliver

If Obama was still Pres, he'd say something like that, and that we can get back to AFFH rules in a few years, and you'd lap it up

 

The bloated yam is flipping out!! I have never made fun of the mentally deficient, but--Oh, what fun to watch!!!!!!!!

Trump is again criticizing Wray. This time he's accusing Wray of being protective and not releasing documents in time for a narrative he wants for the upcoming election.

Trump goes after FBI director Wray, whom he appointed, and issues warning to Barr - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Trump railed against Wray, who he said should provide more documents to John Durham, who was tapped by Barr to lead the review into the origins of the Russia investigation.

"So Christopher Wray was put there. We have an election coming up. I wish he was more forthcoming, he certainly hasn't been. There are documents that they want to get, and we have said we want to get. We're going to find out if he's going to give those documents. But certainly he's been very, very protective," the President said on Fox Business."

 

Nine days later, U.S. deaths have increased another 10,000 and have surpassed 170,000 for the coronavirus that Trump has dismissed as embers and ashes whose little hot spots here and there he said he would stamp out in an unspecified manner.

"it goes away in the summer with the heat" ~ Donald J. Trump

 

Biden should use that as a campaign talking point. A lot of these small rural towns are conservative, and voting for Trump is voting against their best interests.

 

Trump's scheme to manipulate the mail will bite him in the ass.

 

When are you going to start making sense?

 

What's the confusing part?

You said this:

"I know several white suburban women who are vehemently opposed to trump."

I said this:

"Is your suburb full of white suburban women is it?

I assumed local, unless you are talking about "ladies" in the suburbs of Novosibirsk you talk online with who agree with you that orange man is bad. They would technically count as "several white suburban women" , you didnt specify where the suburbs were, although maybe a bit iffy on the ladies part

 

You have to pretend the weather has nothing to do with it, since Trump said that, so death rate isn't way down now, and won't go up again in winter. So this coming winter you have absolutely nothing to worry about, I mean if you did, Fauci would certainly be warning you now wouldn't he?
