What Real Successes Have the GOP had in the 21st Century??

[Smokin' OP]

Your entire post illustrates what the leftists are doing in this country. Thanks!

You're a delusional, gaslighting, Q-NUT.

President Donald Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, kept major media outlets, including the New York Times and CNN, out of the daily press briefing Friday, canceling it in favor of an off-camera media gaggle for handpicked media outlets and escalating the Trump administration’s fight with the press.

The White House picked which journalists could participate in the press briefing Friday. Reporters for CNN, the New York Times, Politico, BuzzFeed, and the majority of the foreign press were not among them.

The press pool, including NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox News, were allowed in, as well as several smaller conservative media outlets, including the Washington Times, the One America News Network, and Breitbart, which was formerly run by White House senior strategist Steve Bannon.

October 11 2017
President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested that NBC’s broadcast license should be pulled as punishment for the network’s reporting on his national security meetings, opening a new front in the president’s long-running battle with the press.

May 9 2019
In what appears to be an unprecedented move, the White House revoked the press passes of a significant chunk of the Washington press corps because they didn’t meet a new standard, according to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank. Under the new rules, rolled out earlier this year, in order to qualify for the highest level of access—known as a “hard pass”—journalists had to be present in the White House for at least 90 days out of a 180-day period.

What happened in the Trump era. During both his campaign for the presidency and his four years in office, Trump openly attacked the media, calling journalists or news organizations critical of him or his administration “fake news.”
Consequently, his supporters’ existing perceptions of media bias and distrust of news organizations intensified — this was especially true among his white supporters, who are more likely to consume exclusively conservative media.
For instance, at many of Trump’s campaign events, his supporters would disparage, attack and threaten the press. And now, when Trump’s supporters disagree with a fact, they can decry it as “fake news” — whether it be crowd size or election results.

December 24 2017
President Trump kicked off his holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago Friday night at a dinner where he told friends, "You all just got a lot richer," referencing the sweeping tax overhaul he signed into law hours earlier.
The president and White House have emphasized repeatedly that the tax legislation is targeted as a tax break for the middle class.
Corporate tax cuts are permanent, individual tax cuts expire in 2025.

October 22 2018
Nearly one year after he signed the Republican tax cuts into law, President Donald Trump has now repeatedly floated another round of tax cuts -- this one just for middle-income Americans, he claims -- just two weeks from the midterm elections.

April 4 2019
U.S. corporations spent a record amount buying back their own shares last year, using 2017′s tax-cut windfall to reward shareholders rather than to invest or expand their businesses.

Companies in the S&P 500 spent $806 billion on stock buybacks in 2018, blowing away the previous record of nearly $590 billion set in 2007. The information technology and financial service sectors were the biggest spenders, with Apple leading the pack. When share prices plunged in the fourth quarter it only encouraged companies to spend more, setting a fourth consecutive quarterly record for buybacks.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Leftists believe that the purpose of taxation is just to punish success and achievement.

Straight from lying, Hannity's mouth to lying, Billie.
Republicans think corporations will take care of them, given enough tax cuts.
Greed is good.

The original contract, entered into by former Gov. Scott Walker in 2017, envisioned a $10 billion investment by Foxconn that would employ up to 13,000.

Under that original deal, Foxconn could have qualified for nearly $4 billion in state and local tax breaks.

Foxconn has four buildings in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, which it describes as a nearly 1-million-square-foot “advanced manufacturing” facility; a 300,000-square-foot “smart manufacturing center;” a 120,000-square-foot “multipurpose building;” and a 100-foot tall “high-performance computing data center globe.”

Taiwan electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drastically scaling back a planned $10 billion factory in Wisconsin, confirming its retreat from a project that former U.S. President Donald Trump once called “the eighth wonder of the world.”

Under a deal with the state of Wisconsin announced on Tuesday, Foxconn will reduce its planned investment to $672 million from $10 billion and cut the number of new jobs to 1,454 from 13,000.


On February 10, 2016, Carrier Air Conditioner, a division of United Technologies, announced that it was moving its manufacturing operations to Mexico. A cellphone video shot by an employee and posted on YouTube rapidly went viral, making this particular plant closing a national news story, after which Donald Trump made the company's decision to move to Mexico, "a centerpiece of his stump speeches attacking free trade." The move played a role in the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, as a symbol of his protectionist position on international trade, and a lesser role in the 2016 presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders.

Shortly after becoming President-elect, Trump and Vice-President elect Mike Pence announced a deal with Carrier to keep some of the manufacturing jobs in Indiana, while others would still move to Mexico, in exchange for large tax credits granted to the corporation.

On February 10, 2016 Carrier announced its plans to move its manufacture of air conditioning equipment, now located in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Monterrey, Mexico in 2017.
The move of the Indianapolis plant to Mexico was expected to result in the loss of 1,400 jobs in Indianapolis.

The Republican tax law slashed the corporate rate to 21 percent from 35 percent, leading proponents to contend companies would use the windfall to increase their investments in labor or business expansions. That playbook isn't panning out so far.

After getting its taxes lowered, Harley-Davidson has announced a plant closing with the loss of 800 jobs, and it's buying back hundreds of millions of dollars worth of its outstanding shares.

Foxconn announces it's going to repair sections of I-39.
Carrier announces it's going to repair sections of I-70.
Harley announces it's going to repair section of I-55.

Nope, that would be the USDOT, paid for by taxpayers.
NOT corporations.

Really?
That's what trumptards believed at Trump's rallies.

That's true, a dishonest person made it up and ignorant people believed it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks she would make a good VP, she's a loon and she's dying..................at least her brain is.

All three of the lines you posted are false.
You should quit thinking that everyone is as stupid as you are.
They are not.

Guess, you never went to any of Trump's grifter rallies or watched a video of the lying, retard?

March 4 2016
At a rally Friday morning in Michigan, Donald Trump called on Former Mexican President Vicente Fox to apologize for dropping an "f-bomb" about his Wall, leads a chant of "Build the wall!" and actually goes into some detail about his immigration and trade policies with Mexico.

When he brought up the subject of "immigration, trade, borders, and cars," the crowd began to spontaneously cheer: "Build the wall! Build the wall! Build the wall!"

"Don't worry folks," Trump said, smiling. "We're going to be building the wall."

"And who is going to pay for it?" he called.

"Mexico!" returned the crowd.

No, one is dumber than a trumptard.
Trump is a "genius"................compared to his cult

No one at the rally thought that President Trump was going to send an invoice and the Mexican Government was going to send a check.
Money is fungible.

Again, stop thinking everyone else is as gullible and ignorant as you are.

I really think that one problem is that President Trump speaks on a level that is so far over the heads of the left that you don't understand the actual message and you just basically make up in your head what you want it to mean, and then be against the made-up version.

Of course he does, and he can declassify, top secret documents with his mind too.
The actual message is, Trump is retarded.

How's that Clinton Crime Family doing lately?

They’re doing great. Living sweet lives. Not looking over their shoulder for their eminent arrest.

Unlike the Trump crime family, that doesn’t do anything but get arrested.

I hear the head of the Trump crime family isn’t getting much sleep these days.

 

[easyt65]

I can't think of any at all

Bush inherited a balanced budget, passed trillions in useless do nothing spending bills that blew up the balanced budget and led to minimal economic growth. Then Bush started 2 wars and totally mismanaged those wars resulting in total devastation for America. Bush then crashed the economy epically, leaving America in ruin.

Trump inherited a US annual deficit of $587B, passed massive spending bills like Bush, blew up the deficit viciously, had a weak low growth economy (only +2.13% GDP growth in 2019) and then blew up the budget worse with $3.1T deficit in 2020 (Biden has dropped that all the way down to $1.1T in 2022). Trump also failed miserably at a world health crisis with the US having the most cases and most deaths in the entire world. Trump also incited a riot at the Capitol based on total lies.

Republicans like to fabricate success, but I see no real deal big boy successes from Bush or Trump, only failures, blow ups, riots, impeachments, deficits, recessions, and weak low GDP growth.
Where are the GOP successes?

The relentless failure of Trump-era Republican politics - The Nevada Independent

In a sane world, last week’s electoral results would have inflicted a mortal wound to the era of Trumpian GOP election politics. Unfortunately, like many of the candidates promoted by the GOP’s most popular political loser himself, our world is clearly not sane.

thenevadaindependent.com

'Pearls before swine.'

Waste of time to engage in this thread by producing the ling list you already know exists...of couse it is long of a list of Democrat scandals, Biden's, lies, or Democrat fuck ups the last several decades.

Lies, denies, alibis, and endless arguing back and forth declining into immature liberal name-calling and insults.

Just wanted to point out this is another dessparate snowflake attempt to bait / gaslight

If the OP can't name any successes himself he has had his head up his rear for decades or is proving my point.

 

[Faun]

There was never going to be a check.
That is just a strawman that really ignorant and or dishonest people thought made a good talking point.

LOL

"Make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year. There are several ways to compel Mexico to pay for the wall including the following..." ~ Dondald Trump​

I take that back -

The Fake News Media thought that -
Told the rest of the cult that.
That's been a ludicrous talking point since.
