Allow me to make an audacious suggestion. Albeit one that's a bit tardy.

Lyndon Baines Johnson and the then Progressives did that. Social programs expand exponentially year after year. With state, local and regional governments forced to pay for federal legislation also and their own programs. Add the then space program and the Viet Nam war and its costs and we peaked out around 1970 or so.

The peasant people paying taxes would be in the 50% tax bracket today if earning 50 thousand a year if changes were not made. The federal budget was around 500 billion dollars when Johnson took over. It is 7 trillion today. And the state, local and city governments are much worse in budgets. Their taxes have increased in monstrous terms.
 
They don't see a thing. I think they literally block it out, or pretend it's something else.

And they try to equate Biden with Trump, while Trump says and posts divisive shit MULTIPLE times, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

They want as much division as possible. Opposing ideas are evil to them. They think they're at war with evil.

America's jihadis.
"It's different because Trump "

 
You maga sycophants have chosen the path of always being a victim.
a. I'm not MAGA

b. They learned from the best - namely, you clowns on the Left - the Ultimate Victim Mindset
Was the maga propaganda over the political attack on Paul Pelosi pushing the Democrats too far?
Entirely irrelevant to the current matter in-question...
 
He turned our nation from being a creditor one to a debtor one.
You are mistaken

Reagan jumpstarted our economy

But congress spent more than it should have, which Reagan did go along with

First of all, being a creditor/debtor nation was affected by our modest budget deficits/surpluses.

We had enough working capital to loan other nations more than we borrowed. Reagan started running massive budget deficits for the first time in our history(not war related) that caused us to be a debtor nation.

The deficits are in large part due to us GIVING MONEY to other countries.

You want to stop that?

You mean that we loan to other countries more money than we loaned from other countries that made us a creditor nation?

Which ended under a republic president.

Yeah, refute that.

No stupid.

Google the word GIVE and get educated.
 
This is obviously the opposite of presidential leadership, but any notion that he has ever been "a President for all Americans" has been a farce from the beginning.

He simply doesn't have the capacity. He is now, literally, a President who has clearly chosen sides against half the country. Just another first for Donald Trump.
He's chosen sides against the half of the country that tried to kill him twice and did slaughter his friend.

Hmmmm

Sounds reasonable.
 
Don't follow trump down this rabbit hole.

Trump ramps up attacks on left, Democrats after Kirk assassination​

In a four-minute video posted hours after Kirk was shot, Trump said years of attacks from the left comparing figures like Kirk to Nazis was “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.”

When co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump how the country can come together, noting there are “radicals” on both the right and the left, Trump defended those on the right as concerned about crime, while condemning those on the left as “vicious” and “horrible.”

On Sunday, Trump again insisted the problem “is on the left.”

“When you look at the agitators, you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that’s the left, that’s not the right,” Trump said.

Trump calls his opponents 'scum' and lawbreakers in bellicose speech at Justice Department​

President Donald Trump on Friday walked into the Department of Justice and labeled his courtroom opponents “scum,” judges “corrupt” and the prosecutors who investigated him “deranged.”

With the DOJ logo directly behind him, Trump called his political opponents lawbreakers and said others should be sent to prison.


trump is no one whose vitriolic rhetoric you should want to copy. His approach shouldn't be anyone's example of how to behave in civil society. Parents don't raise their kids to be petulant and vindictive. Americans never embraced politicians who are, before now.

To the extent national leaders set the tone for the country, Don's tone needs to be rejected in the strongest possible way. Not copied.

Antifa will be crushed.
 
The kid was a MAGAt larvae. Raised with a gun and taught to handle issues with violence.

Have some more Brawndo, kid.
/---/ Using your logic (snicker) then why haven't his two brothers gone on a shooting spree as well? -- DERP

/----/ I believe his mother over a moron who never listened to Kirk except maybe highly edited videos to distort Kirk's words.

Mom of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin describes radical shift in last year: 'More pro-gay and trans rights'​

Tyler Robinson went from scholarship recipient to alleged killer after becoming 'more political' and lurching left, mom says​

I agree trump has some self centered behavior but were talking about divisive rhetoric here. Both sides do this. Why do you all try to pretend this is not the case?
Democrats are much worse and its not even close

Tone deaf? You are aware that Kirk was killed for speaking opposing ideas to the left, are you not?
