#47 President Donald Trump

OnWis97

I’d love to see the alternate history where Biden announces in 2023 that he’s not going to seek a second term. That’s what should have happened.

Harris may have won the nomination and then the election since people would have been less put off by how she ended up at the top.  Or maybe someone else would have.  Trump also might have won regardless. But Biden really left the party in a terrible spot.

Wondering if anyone has more insight regarding the changes that may occur to Social Security? 

Apologies if already discussed.   

And please, I’m not trying to make anyone do my research, I just may have missed something. 

Just got my first check so any info would be appreciated.

I never thought it was the campaign. It was the process, or lack of. People don’t like her being just appointed. Even Obama wanted some sort of process and was against it at first.
Several months before Biden dropped Kamala’s approval was very low, people were even asking if Biden would stick with her. I think most knew he would, but she was disliked enough to ask. Then all of the sudden she’s the top of the ticket.
In most elections you only need to win by switching 2-3% of the voters, or not give them a reason to vote. I think not having any process and just handing it to Kamala was enough to do that.

she wasnt. there was and is a process to contest her nomination. theaggreeed upon delegates representing each state had the opportunity to object or put forward another nominee of their choice. They chose to give her one of the higher delegate totals in recent history.

I wonder if those bitching even voted in the primaries to begin with. seems to me, if you didnt or dont choose to participate,  then you have ceded your voice to a small group to decide for you. I have no sympathy for non-participants.

man up or shut up is my view.

My thought was if they held an open primary and VP Harris lost, you could kiss the African American support in the general goodbye. 👋

I don't know about that...not sure the AfAm support for her was all that great honestly

recent update on the actual program(s)

as for fuckstick changes or congressional attempts(do they pass the senate anyway?)

the only disruptions are from "fired" emoyees and the shuttering of 7 field offices.

the impact has been increased wait times on the phone is what has  been reported thus far, not sure personally of the office closures  yet. some other stuff specifically singling out Maine is just arbitrary and serves no broader purpose than he's an asshole who likes to sow chaos

Five years ago when Covid hit in 2020, Trump said there were only 15 cases in the US and promised the number would soon drop to zero.

By the time he left office in January 2021, there were 25 million US Covid cases and 400,000 Americans had been killed by the disease.

Heyyy, JD Vance, watch this video. You’re using your daughter for political gain while condemning those who support Ukraine. But what about our children—the ones who have been ki##ed, raped, and kidnapped? Look at this beautiful Ukrainian girl, she lost her leg due to a russian attack.

That had to have had an impact but I do think the campaign funds were the big issue. And maybe time...was there time to go through that process? It seems like the dems came together after those issues came to light.

Yep, money wins elections, pure and simple.  Musk bought the election.  It's a fucked up system.

January Littlejohn, highlighted at Trumps address as a story of a school transitioning her  child without her approval, sent an approving email to her child’s teacher stating that her child was identifying as non-binary and preferred to be addressed by a new name and they/them pronouns.

Then she tried to sue the school, which the judge ultimately dismissed after these emails came to light.

Everything Trump said about trans people was lies

The UN voted 161-1 to create an International Day of Hope. The only No vote? The U.S.—under Trump.

161 countries: 'Hope is good.'
Russia & China: 'Sure, why not.'
USA: 'Hard pass.'

Nothing says ‘leading the free world’ like refusing to toast to hope.

Volleyball player Peyton McNabb highlighted in Trump’s address went on to play softball and basketball after her “career ending injury”. The supposed injury was likely caused by a cisgender athlete anyway. The identity of the supposed trans athlete has never even been mentioned, nor trans status confirmed. Everything Trump said about trans people was lies.

Why? You know how he talks. He often has a few fleeting thoughts but only a few become complete sentences. It was almost like he verbalized an ellipsis; “they rigged the election…and I became president”. The missing part being “and then Biden was a disaster”. No chance he meant maga rigged it.
