Gullible. Which one of us can never, under any circumstances, say anything critical of their party? And which one of us goes wherever the truth takes them? Hmmm?

You could not point to a single, solitary meaningful issue, in which you disagree with democrats. Not one. What does that tell you about your ability to think critically, Spence?

Covita's Great achievements

Candidate Trump decried the national debt in 2016 and promised to eliminate it. It's only gotten bigger.

The National debt, which doesn't matter to Trumplicans has increased 36% and was up significantly prior to the Trump plague.

Today, ISIS is anything but destroyed, and is again beginning to pose a threat. It has a significant presence in Afghanistan and Covita is ready to pull out.

The peace agreements Israel signed with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are a clear success—although the fact that previously hostile Arab states joined Israel due to their fear of Iran’s growing strength is a reminder that Covita's increasing sanctions against Iran had not produced the regime change the administration obviously hoped for.

When people talk about Covita's great foreign policy there is never any mention of Venezuela or North Korea. Nicolás Maduro is still head of Venezuela, increasing repression of its citizens, many of whom have fled or are attempting to do so, and opposition leader Juan Guaidó has failed in his bid to replace the regime and begin a policy of democratization.

Meanwhile, Covita's love affair with Kim Jong-un has not led to denuclearization—in fact, Kim’s regime just flaunted a giant new ICBM. The personal diplomacy Covita bragged about turned out to be the careful playing of the president by Kim. North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is now obviously larger than when Covita took office, and the danger of war still exists.

Start off with the claim that Covita exemplifies the doctrine of “hard work, faith, family and autonomy”—the very middle-class values that provide the framework for American society. It is hard not to chuckle at these words. We all know that Covita began with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, going into business with a few million dollars given to him by his father. Rather than engaging in actual hard work, Covita was the tabloids’ favorite New York playboy, making money by ripping off contractors, not paying workers for their labors, and setting up phony business schemes like the fabled Trump University, whose suing clients were paid off with undisclosed sums of money and prohibited from talking about it with nondisclosure agreements. His business acumen is questionable, as he has declared bankruptcy for his businesses six times.

The claim that Covita is “in favor of manufacturing jobs.” But many of the plants that Covita claimed to have saved have closed. And the coal mines he said would reopen have not—and coal mines in general have continued to disappear, leaving more miners jobless. And don't forget Foxconn, operative part is Con, talk about socialism and central planning............

As for Covita's faith, he has provided many examples of his actual unfamiliarity with the Bible, and his lifestyle shows, shall we say, an inclination to not follow middle-class family values. Someone who respects family does not sleep with a porn star while married or brag about grabbing women by their genitals.

Then look at Covita's mode of campaigning, in which he holds potential superspreader events one, two or three times a day, where his crowds wear no masks and do not practice social distancing?

How about the appointment of Dr. Scott Atlas—a neuroradiologist lacking significant expertise in infectious diseases—to the White House’s coronavirus task force, from which platform he has said that people shouldn’t wear masks (“Masks work? NO”) and that the United States should adopt a herd immunity approach to fighting the disease—a strategy that would cause hundreds of thousands of new American deaths?

Then to top it off you have Covita playing to his base and waging a campaign against the infectious-disease specialist trusted by the American people, Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling him a “disaster” and an “idiot”?

But you're all set because policies don’t matter; “owning the libs” does.

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?

Lets Go Darwin
