The American people need to know WHO is in this debate before they debate. Release your tax records, Mr. President. You claim to be a very wealthy man, and the American people deserve to know who you depend upon for your wealth before going to the polls in November.

I don’t think that’s going to mean much to most voters.

Just comes down to people with empathy or the guy who thinks the stock market is the economy




Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

The free market is not based on nor driven by empathy. If anything, empathy would be a barrier to creating a thriving economy. The best empathy would be a result of a good economy, not a driving force behind it.

Create a strong economy first and then you will have the realistic means to devote time and money to spend on empathy.

More baloney, need a capable administrator

If we had a normal president—Obama or Bush, Jeb or Marco or Ted or Carly, Hillary or, yes, Bernie—we would have contained and rolled back the virus, and businesses, schools, and college football would be reopening. Trump alone could have mishandled the pandemic so disastrously.

A normal president?

You mean weaponizing the postal service to influence an election isn't normal?

You mean helping a popular black entertainer with mental health issues run for president in a desperate stunt to try and siphon off a few votes isn't normal?

It's perfectly normal for Belarus, why isn't that good for us?

need a capable administrator

The U.S President can only administrate the duties prescribed to him in Article 2. I realize that you prefer an "administrator" with greater power. Voting in Progressives is the surest way to create such an administrator to run the administrative state they prefer to replace our constitutionally limited system.

There you go falling back on the "just say" model of argument. You have no proof or even evidence that those supposedly "normal" people you mentioned would have, or could have, done the wonderful things you say they would. You just spout it out as being self evident.

It's more like a Trump rally where he proclaims things and his audience cheers him on. You spout stuff to your peanut gallery here and expect unspoken rah, rah's from your like-minded, or slow-minded, allies. Just say it and it is truth and balm for, and reinforcement of, their desire that Trump be that horrible, uncompassionate, and totally corrupt beastie.

As I've said many times. You're a lot like Trump in many ways.

The government is not the free market
Tweety is not a capable administrator and that is the role of the president
The President does need to lead the administration of the USA
