Looks like Americans need to learn about Trump the hard way

[daveman]

And if you aren't with us , you should be ... That sounds ominous. Like saying if you aren't with us you're against us. That's the type of thinking that got US into this situation the first place.

This from a member of the party that called all members of the other party Nazis and white supremacists.

 

[Rawley]

Looks like rumpole needs to learn about Trump the hard way, Trump just won AZ, so the final EC tally is 223 for Kamala and 312 for Trump, PLUS Trump won the popular vote, which has some value for democrats.

Swept all seven swing states. Swept.

 

[daveman]

If you think that will help people to agree with you , that is wrong ; it is the complete opposite.

This from a member of the party that called all members of the other party Nazis and white supremacists.

Did you win any converts like that?

 

[daveman]

Not helping.

Then your reply it is propaganda is not appropriate.

You aren't anyone to tell me what's 'appropriate'.

Congress has a Constitutional role as well.

Article 1 Section 4

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Better check your Amendments. Things change.

I was a top systems engineer in my field during my very successful career. I'll put my IQ up against yours anytime, Rumply. Your ridiculous stereotype of Trump followers as "low educated and/or stupid is indicative of a simple minded, hateful person.

Here you go, I found some lost Benny Hill episodes that may help you get through this difficult time.I

Let’s be accurate here: 'stupid' is an easy label to throw around, a loose rhetorical term, but it barely scratches the surface of what's actually at play. What we’re talking about here isn’t about raw intelligence -- it’s about wisdom, and, well, the two are worlds apart.

IQ? Sure, it’s a handy measure of certain mental skills, useful for showing aptitude in areas like math and engineering. But it’s not the total sum of human intelligence, and it doesn’t even begin to measure a person’s awareness quotient, or AQ -- the depth of their awareness, the breadth of their insight, the sensitivity they bring to the complexities of life and human nature. An IQ test measures analytic power but ignores self-awareness, social insight, emotional intelligence -- the qualities that actually make us wise.

Wisdom is something else entirely. It’s built on lived experience and reflection, a rich, practical intelligence that enables a person to see the subtleties, to navigate the complexities, and to act in ways that consider long-term impact and the well-being of others. High IQ can solve a problem; wisdom sees its broader consequences. So someone might ace an IQ test and yet fall painfully short in wisdom, illustrating that real awareness cannot be reduced to a sterile number.

In truth, IQ scores can’t measure wisdom. They don’t even hint at freedom from ignorance. Let’s remember: a person can score off the charts on an IQ test yet be entirely clueless about navigating real life, lacking any true social awareness -- case in point, the math genius who’s a social misfit. So yes, someone can have a high IQ and still be utterly devoid of the wisdom necessary to discern that Trump, given all that is known, is not fit for the office. Wisdom demands the ability to judge character, to evaluate foresight, to weigh ethical implications -- all things that IQ tests miss by a mile. If you had even a trace of wisdom, a flicker of social awareness, you’d understand this.

And if this acute, but limited spate of words designed to illustrate one inescapable truth tests your attention span, take it up with the descendants of Hamilton, Jay, and Madison, all of whom apparently needed 85 long winded essays to convince Americans to back the Constitution of 1787. By the standards of today’s attention-deficit crowd, they could’ve wrapped it up in a single pamphlet.

Well ... If you are playing to lose ... Side with the losers.
In reality ... It took me ten seconds to come up with an example that shot your stupid "never" to shit ...

.​

Given the anemic caliber of your response, that makes perfect sense, particularly since, contrary to your wishful thinking, it actually doesn't.

I am trying to be brief.

Then briefly link to it.

O.K.

This is pretty common knowledge.

Nice long rant to say what ? People don't pay attention ?

 

[Rumpole]

Gonna be a long hard four years for you and your cult. And don't believe we aren't loving every moment of the schadenfruede,

Yes, you loved it when Trump left Biden with a dismal economy, so we can expect more of the same. You love it when Trump ruins America.

What did Trump leave Biden?


Trump's Final Numbers - FactCheck.org

COVID-19 Pandemic: Over 401,000 Americans had died from COVID-19 by the time Trump left office, and the pandemic was still raging.

Economic Recession: The economy had lost 2.7 million jobs, and the unemployment rate had increased to 6.4%.

Healthcare: The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million during Trump's tenure.

Federal Debt: The federal debt held by the public increased from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.

Trade Deficit: The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services increased by 36.3% from 2016.

Illegal Immigration: Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose by 14.7% compared to 2016.

And what will Biden leave the next president?

You proved to this forum why you are a danger to this nation you hate so much.

Incompetent rebuttal; vacuous drivel is not a merit worthy counter argument.

 

[Rumpole]

We plan 2 round up all the lesbians, unhappy women, and those with mental illnesses to clean up the gene pool. From there we expect Vance to win a historic 90% the vote, demonstrating there is still work to do.

I expect that you are so full of gas you will be gaslighting this forum for years to come.

 

[boevans]

The people spoke, you're ignoring them. The best solution is to simply ignore the likes of you. You are of course free to whine, just don't expect anyone to give a damn.

The minority will oppose where it can, yet. It is certainly not hopeless at all.

Trump isn't the President. He will be playing golf, while his shadow presidential crew makes the decisions. He will just mindlessly sign what they put in front of him.

His league of minions that voted for him, have the job of pointing out why its somebody else's fault none of his promises are happening.

Just like the first time.

I wonder. He’s achieved his main goal. Avoiding jail.

He never showed any real interest in governing or policy

He can’t be elected again

He has no real kinship with the Republican Party

It really comes down to how fucked up the people he installs are

Better check your Amendments. Things change.

Nothing is changed regarding the Congress's Article 1 power over elections. If there is a congresscritter on the ballot, the Congress has authority to regulate the election, including over-riding State laws.

There are a number of amendments that deal with voting rights, and they also empower the Congress to enforce them. The 17th changed the way Senators were chosen, but nothing in it takes away the power of the Congress that is described in Article 1 Sec. 4.

The term "federal election" is a term of art- it's not Constitutionally defined. It is universally recognized to mean any election where a federal office is on the ballot.

Only because now they can't oppress.

 

[Rumpole]

How come none of that happened during Trump's first term?

Clearly you didn't read the OP

Try the third paragraph

I understand your admission.
