Another example of nothing. No data, no reference to anything he actually did while in office. You say we don't want to know the truth about Trump but the only thing we ever get from you is an endless parade of idiot memes that say Trump is some kind of superhero. This is WHY people like me develop this sense (wrong or right) that you're all morons.

How 'bout this... Why don't you tell me the "truth" about Trump? Show me one provable thing that he did to help the American middle class. And please don't send me a long list of links... I'm not asking you to show me how many idiots are out there publishing nonsense. I mean, YOU pick just ONE thing that Trump did and explain to me how that action warrants such admiration from you.

I'm listening.

Slatten is mad at Trump because he said that getting a VD was equivalent to combat injuries or something along those lines.
When I first had contact with Slatten, I thanked him for his service, but that is no excuse to be excused for treason.
He supports a child molester, a President that aided the enemy by giving them 91 billion in weapons, betrayed the American people by opening the boarders , screwed over veterans so he can give illegal aliens money for rent, healthcare and schooling for their kids and much more.
When I called him out for being a piece of shit, many of you on this site defended him but now you are seeing the true Slatten for the treasonous POS that he is.
Biden’s policies and decisions are killing America and Slatten champions him as a king.
Slatten posts all kinds of articles by super extreme leftist nut jobs and if you challenge him , his retort is always a long windbag idiotic response with long words and nonsense.
You posted that 8-9 years ago he was reasonable, well now you see that he is nothing more than a leftist democrat to ashamed to admit he was wrong!!

Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns.

An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior.
During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.
Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost.
Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery.
Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020.

Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States.

Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones.

Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero.
Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home.
Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs.
Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments.
Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.

Instead of 2-for-1, we eliminated 8 old regulations for every 1 new regulation adopted.

Reduced the direct cost of regulatory compliance by $50 billion, and will reduce costs by an additional $50 billion in FY 2020 alone.

Issued a final rule on the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard.
Eliminated the Waters of the United States Rule and replaced it with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, providing relief and certainty for farmers and property owners.

Americans now have more money in their pockets.

Deregulation had an especially beneficial impact on low-income Americans who pay a much higher share of their incomes for overregulation.

I think calling people “ASS BREATH” as you do, is not a way to get people to align with you.

EmilyD

WELL SAID! This is how we fight the craftiness that the left is taught by their master, the Father of Lies. It's clear from whom these Pinheads learn how to be so cunning. 😐

So I make spelling mistakes when addressing an asdhole like you. You got the point as you get the point in this comment. If you weren't such an arrogant bastard you'd know my comment about the CIA could be read two ways. However, If your raison d'être is to be a nip picking asshole maybe it'll keep you off the streets and out of the bars for awhile.

straightUp Loc: California

You already failed. I specifically asked you NOT to send me a long list. I said... "And please don't send me a long list of links... I'm not asking you to show me how many idiots are out there publishing nonsense."

I said that because this is what you twits always do. You can't actually explain a single accomplishment so instead you have some bookmark that you can click on to show a long, long list of Trump's "supposed accomplishments" that other people have written, hoping that the sheer volume of words is enough to settle the argument.

The reason why I asked for ONE is so I can read it and respond. Again, I'm not challenging the existence of massive volumes of BS. I'm challenging YOUR understanding of just one of Trump's supposed "accomplishments".

Do you want to give it another try? Or is this already too much of a challenge for you?

Oldsailor65 Loc: Iowa

All you need to do is find someone to read it to you. I'm sorry that Trump's list of accomplishments id so much longer than yer buddy Biden's list is. Maybe let's compare lists of F**kups between Biden and Trump.

I live my life by God's Word. There is no mockery of any sort in my post, not even of you. My only emotion is disgust at YOUR vanity and heresy. My only guess is that your are either a full fledged atheist engaging in a personal game, or you are spiritually and mentally ill.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Projection at it's finish.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Being SOLID is not the same as being RIGHT. You are not.

TJKMO Loc: Bicycle Heaven

If you are going to be so UNCHRISTIAN as to call someone an “ASDHOLE” (sic),
you should make an effort to review your work before posting.
And it is not “ NIP PICKING ASSHOLE”, is it?

straightUp Loc: California

You make spelling mistakes all the time. I only point it out on occasion and when I do, it's to emphasize a person's relative command of language, or lack thereof, which probably says more about you than you think.

The main point here is that a person who struggles to write, probably struggles to read which presents the question, how much can a person know about complex issues crisscrossing politics if he struggles to read?

I don't even know you are as a person, so try not to take this personally. I am only using you as an example to emphasize a much larger pattern. We already know that Trump supporters tend to be less educated than his critics. I am actually suggesting that Trump supporters in general are less likely to understand the complexities of our reality, which would help explain how he has been able to play you for all these years.


Well, there's the literal interpretation, which I went with and there's the forgiving interpretation, where I could say... "Well, what he MEANT to say is..."

But that get's back to my point. If you struggle so much with language, how do you expect me to believe that you actually understand this complex world?

straightUp Loc: California

Nah, that side-stepping isn't working, Sparky.

One more chance... Can you explain - in your own words - how one single thing Trump did has helped the American middle-class in any significant way. It's a very simple question. Can you do it or not?

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

One correction. TDS was invented to describe a certain type of behavior among anti-Trump fanatics.
Those who enthusiastically embraced the Russian Collusion Delusion by ignoring all the evidence that was not true. Those who kept repeating long debunked falsehoods about Trump. Those who did and still do claim that Trump is racist despite enormous evidence that he is not. Those who took every little misspeak and demanded that Trump was racist, hated women, was corrupt, was bribing judges, etc, and was openly admitting it.
That's what TDS actually is. It has very little to do with Trump, but illustrates fully the liberal attitude.
