What has Trump done to this country?

mooray said:

At 416 pages, I'm certainly not going to say anything that hasn't been said, but one of the worst things he's done is empower and legitimize dumb and scared people with dumb and scared ideas. Worse yet, he's empowered them around the world. It's an issue that extends way beyond politics and it's a cancer that needs chemo.

Why do you think he said, "I love the uneducated" during his campaign?

And I said that in 2016 to a buddy. He did not get that Trump can shift what is acceptable world wide.

There ain't no workin' with them.

The evil are the enemy of the good, doing the right thing and character mean nothing to them.

Let's talk about Biden, Haaland, and extra scrutiny....

Looks like it might be a race between Donald screwing Mitch and going to prison! If Donald gets Mitch removed from the senate leadership, it will screw them, Mitch is shrewd and while he might be amoral and ugly, nobody ever said he was stupid. Nobody is more eager to see Donald indicted than Mitch and he would be delighted if the courts muzzled and or jailed him pretrial. The longer Donald is on the loose the more damage he does to the republicans, their biggest issue in 2022 will be getting him out of prison, cause getting out of prison will be Donald's biggest issue. Mitch needs Donald removed from the scene before Donald removes Mitch. Mitch will wait quietly for the law to catch up with Donald, when it breaks, it will be like a flood and there will be a traffic jam at the prosecutors door.

Trump Statement On McConnell Calls Him 'Political Hack' : NPR

Trump Blasts McConnell And His Leadership In Lengthy Response To Recent Criticism

In a highly personal attack, former President Donald Trump blasted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, calling him an unfit leader of the Republican Party.

"The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political 'leaders' like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm," Trump said in a lengthy statement Tuesday.

"Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again," he added.

The statement comes three days after McConnell voted to acquit the former president in his second impeachment trial but then condemned him for his actions on the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In remarks on the Senate floor after the vote Saturday, McConnell said Trump was "practically and morally responsible" for the insurrection. McConnell said he voted to acquit nonetheless because of constitutional concerns about trying a former president.

The Kentucky Republican also released a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Monday doubling down on his rhetoric against Trump, saying he "bears moral responsibility" for the insurrection.

The back-and-forth between two main figureheads of the GOP underscores the deep rift in the Republican Party.

"Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First," Trump said in his statement.

Trump said McConnell only won his November election because of Trump's endorsement and seemed to attribute the twin losses for Republicans in the Georgia runoff elections to McConnell's decision not to cosign Trump's proposal of the $2,000 direct payments as part of coronavirus relief.

"McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work? It became the Democrats' principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was," Trump said.

Many Republicans have actually pointed to Trump as a reason for the pair of GOP losses in Georgia, which ceded control of the U.S. Senate to Democrats.

You know, I find it odd rooting for McConnell.

The turtle with ill fitting dentures does nothing that doesn't benefit himself. Don't let your guard down about him. Don't give accolades to those who simply do the right thing. The 7 that voted guilty, for instance. They're still just fuckin' repulsivecans.

It's funny because there are different tiers of being dumb. One tier would say, "hey man, fuck you!" and then stop being a supporter. Then there's a whoooooooole other level well below that which has no idea whatsoever that he's talking about them. That's the bulk of 'em.

I knew Trump was a douchebag back in 2016, so did many people going back to the 80's, as is evident by the mockery that's been made of him in pop culture for decades. However, I think I was like your buddy, unable to comprehend the future global impact of his contagious idiocy. I think in 2016 you had a far more realistic perception of reality than I did. It's been eye opening. I had no idea we were this awful.

I have been a news junkie since I was 12-13, almost 50 years ago. So seen a a few events go by. I also read a lot of the outside world, the US is part of my outside world. But it is also history. My parents were German, and the little guy with the funny mustache was more than a foreign concept. You get nationalism cropping up one place and it seeds another. Or reinforces the concepts. Not a good thing in such an interconnected world. 9-11 was caused by men who wanted to use the impressionable in their society to do their will. Now they are ruing the day they put things in motion. Al Qaeda got its start in the Egypt Brotherhood. And they had legitimate beefs at the time. No, hate brings no good.

Cheers for the reply. You sound like you'd be an interesting fellow to grab a beer with.

Oh, I'm just watching the snake fight! If Donald does Mitch it would be a good thing, Mitch is smart and ya want someone stupid running their show. The sooner Donald is indicted the better for Mitch, since his focus will shift and be absorbed by the level of shit he's in. Donald is gonna shred Mitch until the law gets him by the neck and threaten his leadership of the senate.

The more these fucks fight among themselves and rat each other out the better for America, peel off 20% of their voters or make them stay home in 2020. They know if 10 or 20% walk away from the party they are screwed and the crazies will drive the big donors away. Many have walked away from the GOP since Trump and since the sacking of the capital hundreds of thousands have walked away from the party. Almost all the brains have left, just the scum remains and with the Qanon crowd and Trumpers it's only gonna get worse with lunatic candidates.
