Trump's Second Term

Segnosaur said:
Ok, does anyone else recognize how tone-deaf this is?

At a time when Americans are facing significant financial hardship (high gas prices and rising inflation), sticking the word "gold" with "white house" is bound to rub a few people the wrong way. Granted the hard-core MAGAchud might not care but swing voters might.

I was thinking that. I'm sure it plays well with his own insecurities and his cult.

But even habitual Republicans who haven't paid much attention to politics must be put off.
 
The senses that you do have can all interact to give you the whole picture. A blind person is a bit limited if they are just sitting around. The majority of the imput is through hearing. When they fall asleep it must be sort of abstract thoughts and events of the day they think about. They are only aware of space and objects if they move around or touch them. On the other hand, they could think of practical things: what do I make for dinner tomoreow, and where in the freezer is it?

Different thread?
 
Cherished structure? His buddies smeared feces on our cherished structure. Trump is on to something! But the Democrats have some power once Trump loses Nov election we will go shake his structures and track down his flow of $$$
Thank you to our great Secret Service and Law Enforcement for the swift and professional action taken this evening against a gunman near the White House, who had a violent history and possible obsession with our Country’s most cherished structure. The gunman is dead after an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service Agents near the White House gates.

The gunman is dead after an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service Agents near the White House gates. This event is one month removed from the White House Correspondent'Dinner shooting, and goes to show how important it is, for all future Presidents, to get, what will be, the most safe and secure space of its kind ever built in Washington, D.C. The National Security of our Country demands it!

So what do people think of her resignation?

Person with a legitimate concern over a family member with a serious illness?
A rat deserting a sinking ship, trying to save what little dignity she has left?

Don't know much about Lukas (her replacement). His earlier confirmation to deputy director was 51-46 (don't know exact votes but it suggests partisanship "democrats against/republicans in favor of"). It does seem like he has at least some relevant experience/knowledge (although working for the CATO institute suggests a more... libertarian.... thought process)

We all want to show up at the half finished ballroom, not a cherished structure, and smear feces on it. Then tear it down.

Just two things of which you must beware:
Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!
Pollution, pollution!
They got smog and sewage and mud.

And get hot and cold running crud!"

True, but they might stay at home. For some reason it's a big leap to actively vote against one's habitual party.

I think we're in trolley problem territory, people who've been bathed in soundbytes about how terrible Democrats are are going to be more reluctant to make a positive act to put them in power and be responsible for the bad as well as the good, they'd sooner passively not vote and risk worse outcomes.

SHOCKING REVELATION: This woman, who has never voted in a presidential election except for Donald Trump in 2020, reviews her voting history and discovers that Democrats appear to have been voting in her name in the last three elections. "The United States needs election reforms."

In any free and fair election, you wouldn't be able to check how an individual voter (even yourself) voted years after the event. That's the whole point about a secret ballot, that only in the moment of voting you and only you can know how you voted.

It's sad that this even needs to be said.

"Having a visa to this country is a privilege, it is not a right.. if you’re wishing death upon America, you won't be welcomed here anymore."

Frankly we should be deporting citizens who wish death upon America too.

Fine Kevin, I nominate you for deportation to Kerguelen, in your birthday suit.

I thought that at first, but the claim was that she had never voted until Trump. I still haven't any idea if someone can see *whether* they voted.

However the claim that it was Democrats who voted in her name. Surely the record would be that she voted in her name?
