foolmetwiceHmm I despise Trump so much that I’ll have to vote for a dementia patient in a failed attempt to keep him out of office but I actually think Trump is hilarious and has a professional stand up’s comedic ability and delivery
PartyBullshiit
PacificRimJobWell, when you say non-scientific shit like he says, and legitimately had a worm in your brain, then yeah... youre kinda a crackpot.
Trump and Biden aren't as much straight crackpots... Trump is just an old, sociopathic grifter who only wants the job for clout, and Biden is like 2 years older than Trump - but at least he's trying to ACTUALLY bring back manufacturing jobs.

VTshredder69If you think Biden is actually capable of doing anything in his current state you're the cracckpot my dude. He's senile. He's been in government 50 years. He's exactly what's wrong with our political system.
You're out of your mind
VTshredder69We must stop the terror.
Now watch this drive.

PacificRimJobTheyre both senile old men. How the fuck are you saying Trump isn't just as senile and idiotic? These guys are 80+ years old. Both are years beyond retired.

VTshredder69Maybe because he can form actual sentences and he doesn't have parkinsons?
Or maybe i just prefer people who don't get rich from politics who sit in office for 50 years and do little for the country.
PoikenzThey all get rich from politics, your brand of choice is no different. Sounds like you would be for anti-corruption legislation, shame neither party would go for it.
VTshredder69Trump didn't get rich from politics though. He was rich before politics by ripping people off.
You just misinformed or what?
PoikenzBeing rich before having a political career doesn't mean that he isn't profiting from being in politics (he was/ is, incase you are misinformed).

milk_manTrump has faced massive legal troubles simply because he entered politics, and it has hurt him financially. You really think they would be going after him this hard if he had stayed out of politics? Lol, no
VTshredder69You sound like "orange Man Bad" type of person. He did a hell of a lot more for me than Biden ever has.
Sorry, you better get ready for another 4 years.
PoikenzBut it hasn't, his net worth is presumably the highest it has ever been (6-7 b according to bloomberg), even if he has to pay out half a billion. White collar crime always pays off, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
I think you are just discounting me because I am not blindly agreeing with you on everything. I do agree that bribery and corruption in politics are a problem and people shouldn't be in politics for a monetary gain, but to serve the people. I do not agree that "bad orange man" is better than other politicians when he is also profiting in a similar manner. I am not in support of either, just pointing out your bias.
Let me ask again, wouldn't it be nice if there was a candidate who was anti-corruption?
VTshredder69You mean like RFK who wasn't allowed on the debate stage? He's the environmental lawyer who I think would be the best choice.
Is he also bought though?
PoikenzI don't think he is anti-corruption, just someone promoting an economic policy that would help the US. I'd assume he is bought which is why his tax increase plan for corps is actually quite low for what he claims he wishes to accomplish.
VTshredder69Lol. He's for the green new deal that would add 1 trillion to national debt.
PoikenzYou just said you'd support him though?
I don't think that the debt of any nation matters anymore, and I understand that it is a huge conservative talking point but it's all just talk, they want that debt all the same. Plus investing in one's own country works, or would you say that the new deal was bad?
I shouldn't say too much as I'm just a dumb canuck, but this country is idiotic when it comes to investing in infrastructure, they should have upgraded everything 20-30 years ago, now they are spending a fuck ton just to catch up to where they should be. 30 years from now they'll need to upgrade it all again instead of just doing it now. Labour and materials aren't getting cheaper.
VTshredder69The national debt is a serious problem. As other nations switch from the USD to the Yuan, America might be in serious trouble. Our dollar is backed by the military but we're accruing 1 billion in interest a day, without spending anything.
Ultimately if it doesn't get fixed the dollar with fail and the country will become insolvent and shit will get very very bad.
Fiscal responsibility is a huge and important talking point that neither republicans nor democrats can get in check. We need to fire 2/3 of our government employees that are leaches on the system in order to actually fix the problem.
The debt of a nation certainly matters when it's china that most of it is owed to. It's a form of manipulation if we can't pay it back. YOu think China will just forgive it? NOPE.
Before we do any more spending we need to fix the fucking problem instead of Trump and Biden fucking racking up record levels of it.
PoikenzBut it hasn't, his net worth is presumably the highest it has ever been (6-7 b according to bloomberg), even if he has to pay out half a billion. White collar crime always pays off, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

Let me ask again, wouldn't it be nice if there was a candidate who was anti-corruption?
PoikenzIt's completely possible to take on the new green deal and reduce the debt to record low levels within a couple of decades, but I agree that it won't happen.
I am not sure how that matters though as neither of those 2 candidates are for the new green deal (bidens plan is different) or reducing debt. I am confused as to why you would pick one over the other as both don't seem to support anything you would want.
milk_manIt isn't as simple as "net worth up." We have seen at least 20% inflation since 2020... everyone with lots of physical assets had their net worth increase.
VTshredder69Because one candidate is actually with it. I'm not sure what station you watch, but Trump's tax cuts benefited me. Our country wasn't funding a proxy war and giving hundreds of billions of dollars to a country who isn't even our ally. The economy was better, inflation wasn't out of control.
You can hate Trump's character. But other world leaders respected him. Biden is a fucking laughing stock.

PoikenzThe assumption is that he was at 3b in 2020, so even with inflation that's a damn good return. Again, giving up a fraction of that is a pretty good deal and why there is a large problem with white collar crime in general.
I don't watch tv, so I couldn't comment on that, basically get most of my news from ap. I feel like global respect is a hard thing to wield, I think both candidates fail at that depending on which countries you are cherry picking. Look at N.Korea, yes he went there, but they clowned him.
Inflation is more or less a current global problem, we are doing much worse than you are. The economy is poor due to covid, it takes time to recover and see what effect policies are having, again you are doing better than other nations so far.
Which war are you talking about? Both candidates support Israel and keeping your hands tied on Ukraine is a bad move as well- Russia isn't an ally and is starting to probe into Canada more (aka big threat), not supporting Ukraine would alienate your ties with other nations. It would be nicer if those decisions wouldn't have to be made but I don't see the opposite being a better choice.
Christian_BaleWhat’s Russia doing to Canada? I’m Canadian and haven’t heard anything about this
PacificRimJobSoo.. you prefer people who got rich from daddy?
Look, I don't think anyone whos president should be rich... The poorer they are the better.

jfpOrange man is bad. He's an absolutely terrible person. A total piece of shit. A malignant narcissistic sociopath con man career criminal rapist pedo.
VTshredder69I think having a rich father and then building on that is admirable. I know far too many dead beats with rich fathers who don't work at all and leach off their parents at age 35.
Someone who doesn't understand economics shouldn't be in office either. Maybe being poor would help the national debt but people who are poor usually pursue a passion or are just dumb. I'd prefer someone who knows how to run a business run the god damn country.
Not that it fucking matters at this point. We are Rome under the emporers ... only a matter of time.
PacificRimJobTrump would have been richer had he been a deadbeat and didnt do any of the bullshit he did lol. If you want someone who understands economics, it's not Trump - who failed at CASINOS of all things...
Also, why do we think that running a business is anything like running a country. Running a business - especially a corporate business in this late-stage capitalist world - is all about extracting wealth and growth at the expense of everyone else - be that exploiting the working people of this country, or the labour and resources of other countries'. Is that a good thing? I don't mean for someone's pocketbook, I mean a WHOLLY good thing?
A government is not here to make money. That never was nor should ever be the point of it.
A government's whole point of existence is to make everyone's lives better by keeping us safer, healthier, and overall happier. Thats why we give it tax dollars. If it's just another fucking corporation, then why are we even calling it a government? It's a banana republic at that point. If we hand over the reigns of the country to some guy who simply inherited all of his wealth and then proceeded to make himself a self-important playboy out of it.

hi_vis360I’m a farmer and net farm income is way up under Biden, and they have been giving a lot more financial support to small and medium size farms. We are getting a huge addition onto the barn from the NRCS
VTshredder69Yea, trying to lock him up still won't work. LOL.
At this point i'm rooting for him. Because of comments like yours. Gotta love the frivolity of idiots.
jfpThat's because you're an inherently bad person who was raised terribly, carry on.

VTshredder69What's your degree in? You got a lot of bark, but there is no bite.
VTshredder69You sound like you're 12 kid. You're a brainwashed clown who hasn't gotten laid yet. Carry on.
Biden is literally braindead destorying the country but Trump hurt your feelings? Fucking pussy generation.
PacificRimJobHave we now.. lol.
Please tell me specific policies that Trump personally enacted on his lonesome that were oh-so-great for our overall way of life as a national population...
milk_man2. Throwing gas on an inflation fire without stopping, even after the pandemic was waning and we had a vaccine. Keeping interest rates near zero for over 8 months too long (technically not the president's fault, but silly to pretend there isn't some behind the scenes work here).
milk_manMost of the reasons why we were better off under Trump is because of what Biden has done, not because Trump did anything spectacular.
A few of the biggest are:
1. Biden's day 1 repeal of Trump's interior enforcement executive order along with other insane immigration related executive orders that set the stage for the border chaos we've seen for years at this point.
2. Throwing gas on an inflation fire without stopping, even after the pandemic was waning and we had a vaccine. Keeping interest rates near zero for over 8 months too long (technically not the president's fault, but silly to pretend there isn't some behind the scenes work here).
Americans care about illegal immigration and inflation - Biden has been trash at both of these. Lets not forget other stupid policies that will raise prices for Americans in the future, such as his new power plant rules.
milk_manoh you mean the unsustainable, money injection stimulated spike? get back to me in 2-3 more years when more reality starts to set in

PacificRimJob1. You seem to forget how much of a chaotic mess the border was under Trump as well. Its been a mess for a long time, but comprehensive immigration reform is not going to come from the President. Its going to come from congress.. and neither party really wants to touch the subject because its become such a hotbed of ridiculousness... Trump had the whole of congress controlled by the GOP and all they did was give a tax break to the 1%. They did nothing for improving immigration and their solutions were nothing besides "give a bunch of money to this stupid wall that wont work" (and no.. a wall will not fucking work to curb illegal immigration - most of which happens due to visa overstays) Whatever though.
