What happened to Churchill afterwards? As you may remember, the Allies won the war. But England's economy was very bad following the war. They voted him out because of the economy. Winston Churchill! They voted him out even though he was most highly beloved, admired, idolized, venerated, etc. If that was Churchill's fate, what hope does Trump have?

Incumbents usually win. They lose when the economy is bad. Trump's only hope will be to convince voters that the direction of the economy is improving and that the direction of the economy is more important than its current position.

Surely, you're intelligent enough to actually present logical arguments and not just call names all the time. For all of the trash that you, SHM, PB, and Tgo talk, there's very little logic coming from you guys. Just throwing shade. Be like your president, try to shine the light on stuff... or in stuff. Something like that. Someone being dumb is just your opinion. So call names all you want, but you're not actually accomplishing anything but furthering a divide that needs to be bridged.

The whole point of left and right is to keep it balanced. If anyone side gets their way all the time, it's counter productive. But situations like we're in now should unite us, not bring us further apart. Seriously, be part of the solution and not the problem. Hate has no place in our society any more, and that's all you're spreading. Be better.

I realized a long time ago that trying to have a "normal" conversation that involves any sort of logic or reason with megatards like Soyran, time4fun, Back, past idiots like cwolff, etc. is a colossal waste of fucking time, so now they're just entertainment to help me pass the time at work. I've made no secret of this.

It's literally the only thing they're useful for.

A decent President?

Yesterday peaceful protesters were attacked with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bombs- on his order- to clear them away from a church so he could have a photo op.

A few days ago, he retweeted a video of someone saying "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat"

Last week he issued an EO targeting social media platforms because one of them dared to fact check (i.e. criticize in his mind) a tweet that, among other things, heavily implied CA residents they didn't have to register to vote because mail in ballots were being sent to everyone in the state.

In the last two months he's removed 4 Inspectors General (without giving Congress the legally mandated 30 day notice with an explanation demonstrating cause) and replaced them with political appointees who are still serving in the very agencies they're supposed to be performing independent oversight of.

He tried to blackmail a foreign ally- that was desperately in need of military aid to fend off Russia- into interfering with our elections by announcing a fake investigation.

When a global pandemic hit the US, instead of preparing the country for it he went on a campaigning spree telling everyone that it was a Democratic hoax despite having been briefed repeatedly on the reality and severity of the situation.

He also got up and- not once but twice- told Americans to use dangerous methods of curing COVID that won't work. And people did.

Inept doesn't begin to describe the situation. We need a new word for how mindblowingly incompetent and dangerous this man has been. And we all know I could have gone on for pages delving into the multitude of things he's done that range from merely incompetent to downright dangerous.

No, he has not been a "decent" President. And it's okay to admit that.

It's amazing how brainwashed and retarded you are that you're listing all kinds of shit that's already been debunked.

Not that anyone is surprised though, being that you're a giant cancerous ball of fail who smells like moth balls.

His increasing willingness to mix politics with the military and to deploy it against Americans on US soil is a massive red flag.

He's retweeting people who are- in not-so-subtle ways- calling for the death of US citizens who aren't a part of his own political party and threatening violence himself against protesters in stark language.

He's retaliating against private entities for daring to criticize him (And specifically just call out his inaccuracies)

He's spreading misinformation about our elections and trying to convince people that there's massive fraud afoot

He's ordering attacks on peaceful protesters who are exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and assembly


I don't know what everyone is waiting for here, but can we just *not* wait for it to get worse? This is a first for our country. Do we really want this to be the first of many? And this is him having to worry about re-election. What do you think this all looks like with 4 more years and no accountability to voters?

Put the forum flame wars away for a moment. Take off the partisan hats. Put aside the years of built up resentments from endless political debates. Just be Americans right now.

Is this what you want America to look like?

This really can't be overemphasized, but I'm going to try.

5 days ago, the President of the United States of America retweeted a video of someone saying the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat, and the guy in said video immediately specified, in that same video, that he means only in a political sense, and not a physical sense. But I tried to leave that part out because I'm a lying piece of shit because Orange Man Bad > everything else in my pathetic life of moth balls and cat piss.

This is correct.

Yeah because no president has ever deployed the military inside of the US before.

Oh wait, Kennedy did it twice, LBJ 4 times, and it was used as recently as 1992 by Bush.

But don't let facts get in the way of your moral indignation! Tell me again how these riots and the way the Democrats and the media are responding to them and Trump's actions aren't at all political!

For all of the bluster I have heard over the years from the conservatives on this board about fighting to keep Communism and Socialism out of America, it is absolutely astounding to watch those same people usher in the worst parts of Communism.

"The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat"- that's single party rule. You'll find that in China and Russia.

Teargassing peaceful protesters- that's what you can get away with in countries with authoritarians who aren't beholden to things like Freedom of Speech.

Leveraging the power of the Presidency to retaliate against organizations who criticize him? Yeah, guess where else you find that?

Doing mass purges of career employees who haven't demonstrated proper "loyalty" to the President? Guess where else that happens?

Firing oversight watchdogs and replacing them with political appointees who are helping to run the agencies they're supposed to be performing oversight for?

Inviting foreign interference into our elections? Leveraging the power of the office to attack political rivals who dare to run against him?


So watchdogs of Democracy- if you're okay with all of this, what exactly was it about Communism you were trying to protect us from?

Please snap out of this before it's too late. On some level you must understand that this is not the direction we should be moving in.

"Gosh I can't understand why you guys just troll these people all day instead of trying to engage in civil conversation!!!!!!"

Wow that took an incredibly racist turn.

How is that racist if he's only referring to specific people and not an entire race?

This is reason #57843202 why you're a fucking idiot and an unintentional parody of the every leftist stereotype in existence.

Fun fact: Your post actually makes you the racist. You'll just never have enough (or any) self awareness to realize it.

She really did peak when she told a black man that he was racist because he didn't agree with her views on racism in America. I don't think her posts will ever be as good as that one.

June 3rd, 2020, time4fun officially jumped the shark.

[Methais]

I assumed from your posts that was likely the case.

No you didn't. And lol @ you being accidentally racist again.

Loser.
