President Trump: Making America Normal Again

[Foxfyre]

I remember those days before the pot caused derealization disorder and fucked up my life. Same with several others I know.
Stick with beer in moderation. It doesn’t cause psychosis with one dose.

I have a nice who is seemingly hopelessly--she won't admit she needs help and won't seek it--addicted to pot. It has permanent scarred her lungs and definitely changed her into a different person. Those who say pot isn't addictive just don't know what they are talking about. It isn't for everybody. But for some it is.

You still seem to have plenty of common sense Roshawn and at least you realize you have the issue. I'm sure it does diminish some quality of life.

We all know that the drug culture has played a huge roll in the deterioration of family, American culture, and the soaring crime rate.

I'm not sure President Trump has a firm plan on how to correct that, but his war on the Mexican drug cartels should begin the process whatever it will be.

Derealization isn’t a condition you admit to any more than a heart attack or stroke or gun-wound would be. It’s an effect of pot. For some it happens the first time, for others after years of use. You’re never the same after that.
Then there is cannabinoid hypermesis. That causes a serious abdominal illness that can result in kidney failure and death. I have a musician friend suffering from that right now. But no one wants to admit what it is because most of my music colleagues are ignorant pot advocates.
The pot industry is in control of the messaging and politicians right now. Sad state of affairs.

Most addicts or those who have unknowingly or unwittingly damaged themselves from some recreational substance don't want to admit their problem.

You are very courageous that you are doing so and you could very well spare someone else the terrible effect of these things.

We need more people speaking out with a clear and unmistakable voice to overcome those who maintain it's always the person's fault if he/she is damaged or becomes addicted and you can choose not to do that when you use the substance.

President Trump posted today that even the Democrats acknowledge that the DBO has projected that Trump's tariffs will reduce the deficit by $4 TRILLION!!!

And a new Rasmussen poll out indicates that most Americans agree Trump didn't have time/get it done to drain the swamp in his first term. But they--Patriots, black, white, brown, Asian and even half the Democrats polled--want that to be his next primary initiative.

Power to you President Trump and your co-warriors to make America normal again.

My neighbor was over a while ago and was musing that he voted for President Trump last year and would do so again, but was frustrated that some of his rhetoric was so over the top he just wasn't very presidential.

I said you didn't notice that about him in his first term? And he agreed he had.

You know, I think most of us MAGAs are tired of professional politicians who govern by what is politically expedient instead of what is effective and efficient and good for America. Instead of sometimes empty eloquence and impressive images, we wanted somebody with instincts, intuitiveness, skill set and courage to get things done.

If we wanted the closest thing to a perfect person we could get, we would vote for a saint, a role model of virtue who had taken a vow of poverty. He would probably be completely incompetent to provide leadership for a country, but there would be no lawsuits or other lawfare or any personal baggage included in the deal.

But we didn't want a saint. We wanted somebody who loved America and Americans with a track record for problem solving and getting things done.

So let's get unified fellow MAGAs/Patriots. Let's set aside that pet peeve or favorite issue for awhile and do something to make our country better by sharing and working for a vision of a great America. Once that is accomplished we can argue out and figure out how to deal with those special interest issues.

Our guy isn't perfect. In fact he can be annoying, irritating and obnoxious at times. But he's getting things done. We all need to have his back.

For those who say President Trump is anti-science, anti-facts and never questions anything, he posted this on Facebook yesterday:

CHICAGO MAYOR vs TRUMP

So right after the Chicago mayor ordered the Chicago police to give no cooperation, help, accommodation to the National Guard or anybody else sent in to help with the violence there, Chicago has one of its most violent, bloody weekends ever.

TDS is especially sad when it results in the needless death of the innocent.

Sending federal troops to take over US cities is considered “normal” to the cult members.

Seems the democrats think this is a way to influence voters to vote for them. SMH, they have the same thought about obstructing the deportation of illegal immigrants. Democrats are history.

 

[Stann]

The majority of Americans who voted for President Trump did so because of the MAGA vision of a strong, secure, free America that offers maximum liberty, options, choices, opportunity and prosperity for all.

That is what is normal America to those people.

So far the cabinet President Trump is putting together are all committed to that vision, but wow, they sure are causing a lot of heads to explode. Nevertheless Trump is moving forward to make the MAGA vision a reality and is putting together the most unusual, interesting, unexpected and unlikely team in American history to accomplish it.

I am a bit curious if the most hard core left aren't at least a little bit curious and interested in how this will all work out. I sure am.

What does a normal America look like to you? Is the Biden Administration agenda and results what you think should be normal? Or are you willing to give the MAGA team the majority of voters voted for a chance?

Setting aside the talking points, partisan rhetoric and propaganda, aren't you a little hopeful that the MAGA agenda, the MAGA team heading government, the resolve to make America great again, will yield good things? Or are you hoping it fails?

First off trump didn't even get the most votes. No one did , 80 Milliion chose not to vote. Most probably totally disgusted with both parties. . That would not give trump a majority. Less than a third. What I find amazing is how republicans can justify giving billions to the ultra rich and at the same time cutting funding to food pantries when they are needed more than ever.

I wish. But they've been so crazy for so long now, too many Americans are used to it so it seems. I have friends who are Democrats and so TDS infected they can pretend all the carnage in Chicago is 'normal' and no big deal.

Restoring law and order and protecting the people that our elected leaders are sworn to do is considered 'normal' to MAGAs/Patriots/libertarians (little "L")/sane independents/most Republicans.

Unlike the left, we do not think the carnage in Chicago is a normal America.

Learn the language and the meanings of words. Trump did not get a "majority of total votes cast." He did get the most votes as he received more votes than any other candidate. If you're going to play semantics, at least get it right.

And taking all the non sequitur (and completely false) part out of your post, the rest of it changes the facts/truth of my argument how?

The people of Chicago elected their mayor, did they not? They’re better represented by their mayor than by Trump.

As for what you consider normal, it appears you’re not well informed by history or statistics. Not only are there roughly two dozen cities with a higher murder rate, about half of which are in red states, Chicago has a precipitous decline in violent crime since it spiked under the first Trump administration.

Chicago hasn’t seen an April with fewer murders since 1962

The city appears on pace to hit Mayor Johnson’s 2025 goal: fewer than 500 murders for the first time in a decade.

Based on these factors, it appears most likely that Trump is trolling.

News flash. This is September, not April. I accept that a leftist numbnut thinks 50 people being shot and 8 more killed this past weekend is okay because the people of Chicago elected their mayor who hasn't done anything to prevent that and won't let the police help any help sent to stop that kind of thing.

That's your normal America? It's sure not mine.

P.S. the discussion is not what cities have the highest crime rate but rather a mayor rejecting help because it is offered by President Trump.

Anecdotes are useful for generating emotional responses but generally done drive useful policy like data does.

There is and always will be violent crime in American cities. It actually is quite normal.

The idea that national guard troops being forcibly deployed against the will of the local elected government (potentially illegally) is either normal or a viable policy solution is absurd.

58 people shot, 8 of them fatally.

Do you even care? The Chicago mayor apparently doesn't.

 

[Foxfyre]

Okay in the interest of intellectual honesty and fairness, I don't like that huge banner of President Trump's face hanging off the Labor Dept. building. While intrinsically there is nothing wrong with it, in my opinion it does come across as a bit narcissistic and doesn't enhance his image.

But any Labor Dept employees who quit because of it, I say good riddance. Do it quickly so we can replace you with good public servants instead of quasi political operatives.

Have you noticed that at the SCO summit, the leaders of the countries talked about joint projects, building peace, fighting hunger and poverty, mutually beneficial trade and cooperation? But when representatives of the West get together, they talk about arms buildup and war with Russia and China?
