Our nation would be stronger if more people believed in themselves

[ElmerMudd]

I believe in myself.
But we have a hard time getting anything done with so many Democrat Party communists in office, destroying everything we hold precious and stand for.

Life is not fair for anyone. Successful people deal with the world the way it is, not the way they wish it was.
Deal with it. Like we all have to.
You are as bad as those who take welfare when they don't need it. Maybe you do.

 

[ElmerMudd]

What is it like to be a communist? I mean, to just hate this great country and want to destroy it?

Trump is in love with Putin. He wants to be just like Putin.
He wants the US to be just like Putin's Russia.
Where the President is a dictator. If you disagree with the government, they kill you.

You keep spreading this ridiculous and hilarious lie. Trump has done more to harm Putin's reign than any president, you clown.

Our nation would be stronger if we just quit watching cnn and hanging on facebook for spiritual guidance.

 

[IM2]

Liberals do nor believe in the individual as self sufficient and confident
Stop lying

You are the liar. YOU are no conservative. YOU are a fascist. You believe in the ultimate power of the state to be used to eliminate anyone who opposes your belief.

Educate yourself
Weaker U.S. leverage and mixed pressure on Moscow

• Some analysts argue Trump’s approach has ceded leverage over Russia by pausing or easing aspects of the stronger sanctions regime built under the prior administration — which could allow Moscow more room to operate economically and militarily than before.
• Reports from 2025 noted that parts of Trump’s foreign policy (especially rhetoric and diplomatic signals) were hailed by Russian officials as aligning with Moscow’s worldview — something that could strengthen Russia’s negotiating position internationally.

Reduced emphasis on Ukraine’s battlefield support

• Early in Trump’s term, the U.S. reduced direct military and intelligence support to Ukraine, shifting focus toward negotiation rather than sustained pressure on Russia — a move some interpret as benefiting Russia strategically.

1. Called Trump “clever and pragmatic”
Putin described Trump as “not only clever, but a pragmatic man” focused on U.S. interests and suggested calm dialogue on broad issues of mutual concern.


2. Praised Trump’s character in past comments
In remarks around late 2024/early 2025, Putin praised Trump for how he responded courageously to an assassination attempt at a campaign rally, saying he acted “like a real man.” This praise was noted again into the post-election period.


3. Positive framing after talks in 2025
After meetings between Trump and Putin — for example at the August 2025 summit in Alaska — Putin spoke about the talks in a constructive tone, saying he hoped agreements would open the way to peace and that the discussions were very useful.


4. Christmas congratulation
Putin congratulated Trump on Christmas with a telegram, a customary diplomatic courtesy (not exactly praise, but a positive formal gesture).
Putin has thanked Trump

Trump has been on the national stage for over a decade now and has been elected President TWICE.
And you STILL don't understand how he negotiates, how he flatters his enemies????
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Leftists have absolutely no common sense.
And TDS is very real and highly dangerous.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Our nation would be stronger if more people believed in themselves. Self-belief results in self reliance. Too many people look to others to solve their problems.
I see most MAGA followers look to Donald Trump to solve their probems. They are selling themselves short. Most have the capability to solve their problems and make their own lives better.
Trump makes these people feel they need him to solve their problems. He works on fear. He makes people victims. You can only be a victim if you make yourself a victim.. MAGA is becoming more dependent on Trump and less dependent on themselves.

That is not a conservative value. Self reliance, personal accountability are conservative values.

Really? Don’t lecture about self reliance. Your the side that celebrates food stamps and cell phones from the government.

You have to be kidding.
We have never had a President insult so many countries of the world. Hehas insulted all of our NATO allies, he has called countries shit holes. Russia is one of the few he has not insulted.

In the art of the deal "Trump advises responding aggressively if attacked in negotiations or business disputes — both legally and publicly — to deter future challenges"

If you want to win with Trump, "you compliment him, he does not compliment you"

You have no idea about what you are talking about. You are embarrassing yourself

I am a person who appreciates self-reliance and personal accountability.
I appreciate morals and ethics.
I appreciate conservative values. That does not include 5 kids by 3 wives, Being an adulterer. Grabbing women by the *****.
I believe in helping those who are not capable of doing things on their own and helping those who help themselves.

Not a bunch of whiny, spineless white supremacists who want Donald Trump to save the. Too fricking lazy to help themselves.

They ******* deserve to be insulted.
They've sold out. They've allowed an unprecedented influx of immigrants, many of whom have absolutely zero interest in the melting pot.
Look at Minneapolis here in the States: radical Islam has totally transformed that once-lovely city and turned it into a violent and corrupt shit hole.
Then look at London.
And Paris.
On and on and on and on. Uncontrolled immigration; spies, criminals, weirdos, thugs, homeless, sad poor people ... And huge increases in violence.

No, YOU have no ******* idea what you're talking about.
You're part of the "Orange Man Bad" crowd. Nothing else.
You don't have a goddam clue what the Real World is about.
We're fighting a battle for survival here, you idiot. And Trump understands it and understood it years ago.
You don't. You're still slack-jawed, lukewarm IQ barely sparking.

 

[Thinker101]

Bullshit, MAGA whines the world is not fair, blacks and other minorities, immigrants, foreigners, non-Christians, liberals, on and on get an an advantage. They have all had a tougher time than any white male MAGA whiner.

The world is not fair. DEAL WITH IT. Quit whining. grow a couple

Wow, right after you whine about the world not being fair in post #10....what a shock.

It's not our job, or our responsibility, to make sure the world is fair....dumbass.

LOL! You are the one with TDS. We are losing allies because of Trumps great negtiang skills. We made a mistake in electing this moron and in the next 3 years, you will come to understand this fact.

 

[jotathought]

Yes. And the most conservative thing a government can do is invest in its citizens. This means the government invests in things that allow people to become more self-reliant. Things like livable wage legislation, affordable housing, education, and health care.

Affordable housing = get rid of illegals .. check
Education advances = get rid of libtards focused on what to think vs how to think / what we know and how to intelligently question it
Healthcare = remove government dependency and administration that drives up costs .. check!

You aren't living in the real world. Who is fighting a battle for survival here?

Whites like you believe this nonsense because you are about to become a minority, and you won't be able to bully everybody else. So you racists are scared and have created a narrative about fighting for survival. You are a sad, pathetic loser. Elmer Mudd has said it right, you are:

a bunch of whiny, spineless white supremacists who want Donald Trump to save them.

Getting rid of illegals won't create affordable housing.
You right wing MAGATS are the ones trying to control what we think, how to think, what we know, an opposed any intelligent questioning.
And for healthcare, eliminating the profit motive and private healthcare will drive down prices.

So in short, you are competely wrong about everything.

Typical right winger.

Me too.

I appreciate morals and ethics. As for multiple kids, would you rather that be from multiple daddy’s or multiple mamas and the taxpayer having to pay daddy and mama? As for grabbing women by the *****, how come you are not holding Clinton and Biden accountable for all of their groping? Trump just dreamed about it.

I believe in helping those who are not capable of doing things on their own and helping those who help themselves.

Me too. What I don’t believe in is funding the state and NGOs that purport to help those in need yet simply use their plight to profit for themselves as we are seeing in Minnesota.

Not a bunch of whiny, spineless white supremacists who want Donald Trump to save the. Too fricking lazy to help themselves.

Im Mediterranean and my wife and sons are Mexican so we wouldn’t be welcome at a white supremacist gathering. At the same time, we are not buying into liberals using the plight of the poor to advance themselves.

Bullshit .. it’s one of the leading causes of increased housing prices

Libtards prefer to teach political topics as opposed to education.. a major influence on why many can’t read or do basic math as a senior .. creating retarted students instead of educating them.
