    The problem of the gullibility of the American public needs to be remedied. The article posted about the farmer who acknowledged he was duped by Trump's sales job on him shows that people cam learn from a mistake. Four or eight years of damage might be done before the public finally admits it was duped, the Vietnam War years and the G.W. Bush Iraq war years being examples. The reelected Bush ended his second term with a job approval as low as 25% after the damage was already done and the seeds had been sown for more (The Great Recession).


    Dick Smothers: Tommy, why did you wreck the song we were trying to perform?

    Tommy Smothers: The piano player told me to wreck it.

    Dick: If the piano player told you to jump off a bridge, would you do that too?

    Tommy: Not again.

    We need to remind the voters our government is there to serve and protect the people. The main reason behind a government funded postal service was to provide stability and confidence in our government. Our postal service was and still is the best and most reliable in the world. Our environmental protections and food safety must be restored.

    Trump has had over three and a half years to remedy problems and hasn't.

    He has sown chaos. Now he's claiming he needs four more years to stop the unrest he incites, like the racial unrest related to police behavior and the problems he created for farmers.



    Republicans Insist Only Trump Can Stop This Chaos. But He’s in Charge Now.
    The convention seems engineered to prove that the president is in control of the good and not responsible for the bad, worthy of praise for the nation’s successes and exoneration for its struggles.

    Republicans Insist Only Trump Can Stop This Chaos. But He’s in Charge Now.

    excerpt:

    "Even as president, Mr. Trump has often appeared most comfortable in the role of back-seat driver, jeering his own government like a common bystander, insisting that someone really ought to do something about all this. (“When he has an opinion,” Mr. Pence said, “he is liable to share it.”)

    The effect during a week like this one — as a public health crisis proceeds apace and unrest consumes Kenosha, Wis., after another police shooting of a Black man — is particularly jarring, all the more because Mr. Trump has also strained throughout the convention to display himself in various scenes of presidential busyness: issuing a pardon, meeting with freed hostages, presiding over a naturalization ceremony. In the process, Mr. Trump and his team have effectively ignored distinctions between campaign activity and official business — less line-blurring than ostensible law-violating — co-opting public resources for political gain.

    Through it all, the intended takeaway has seemed clear: Mr. Trump is in control of the good but not responsible for the bad, worthy of praise for America’s successes and exoneration for its struggles."

    Trump sits in the back seat and lets states grapple with the problems he exacerbated. If the outcomes are good, he takes credit. If not, he blames the states.

    In April he said it was the responsibility of states to get their act together and conduct more coronavirus testing. A couple months later, he called for less testing because he thought the numbers were hurting his image.

    Trump took both positions on the issue of testing. Any way the wind blows.

    A bottle of extra strength Maalox is needed after listening to Trump, a 74-year-old toddler.

    He's already forgotten that he has said this before in here and it didn't trigger anybody that time either.

    Apparently it triggered you hard enough to remember it.

    I wasn’t sure if I posted that here or on Parler

    YES !!! The REPUBLICAN PARTY counts on the stupidity of many of it's base to swallow every word of shit & lies they spew. They use the people's ignorance against them - like bullets.

    There's a social media piece of propaganda stating that Biden will take away everyone's 401-k's. AND MANY PEOPLE ARE BUYING THAT PIECE OF SHIT STORY!!! It just goes to show the supreme stupidity of many U.S. voters. They bought the Hillary "child sex trafficking ring" run out of pizza shops around the country. This shit is probably the work of Russian government hackers who have stated that they want Rump to win again. I'd like to see our country enter a shit-ton of electronic crap to the Russian system so bad that it would take decades to unravel it. But our country under Rump has NO BALLS !!!! And Rump won't want to piss off his idol Putin. Then Putin would have to release the "pee-pee" tape.

    If the people want REAL FACTS - they ought to review all the REPUBLICAN attempts to cut funding and/or eliminate Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid for DECADES. T-H-A-T is a provable FACT. They'll bite right onto a LIE about Biden taking away their 401-K's - but ignore REAL, PROVABLE, TRUTHFUL FACTS about their Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid under attack by THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

    Many people don't even have 401-K's, or their employer won't contribute to it or match what the employee puts in himself - or they put in measly amounts for the employee. And remember - there is NO LAW MANDATING that an employer has to contribute to an employee's 401-K plan. But there IS such a law for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. A 401-K can crash if the market crashes - you could end up with next to nothing to retire on. Not so with Social Security if the REPUBLICAN PARTY would quit attacking it.

    The really tragic thing is ................. many of the very, very, extremely under-educated people who would MOST benefit from having Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid survive are voting REPUBLICAN each election ................... which is financially cutting their own throats. Exactly how rich do those people think they are to retire without SS, Medicare & Medicaid??? If the REPUBLICANS get their way with those 3 programs - those people who voted REPUBLICAN ............................ ARE S-C-R-E-W-E-D!!!!! If they aren't really rich .................they're screwed.

    The REPUBLICANS in Congress cut funding for those 3 programs - - - and then scream that they're so far in a hole they need to be eliminated - scrapped, etc. They're the ones doing the UN-FUNDING !!!!!
    But the people of their base pay no attention to reality or the REAL NEWS. They believe all the lies ............... YES LIES .......... from Fox, Alex Jones, Hush Bimbo, Glen Beck and others of that ILK.

    I don't even pity those idiots. When they retire and have very little - or NO Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid .......................... I guess they'll lose their homes, get evicted from rentals, and starve or die from lack of health care. GOD gave us all brains ............................... and some refuse to use them on their own ......................... SHEEP electing their own BUTCHERS.

    Much of Rump's base can't see or understand this fact!!! They'll listen to a FOX talking puppet saying it's all the Democrat's fault ...................... and B-E-L-I-E-V-E it !!!!!!!! This is precisely why I call those people stupid. They can't take time away from their can of beer long enough to actually LEARN something.

    These same people would bite right on to a propaganda rumor that Obama started the corona virus himself .................. or the Viet Nam war ....................... or is a pimp on 42nd street in N.Y.C. Remember ................... they latched onto the Hillary "child sex trafficking" ring being run out of pizza shops.

    COMPLETE - - - TOTAL - - - MORONS.
