Vote Hard

[PaulS]

Good thing we have a long history of actions and statements of our president to see how flawed he is and that he is neither competent nor brilliant

As good, and competent and brilliant person that you are, in this case you are wrong.

If you took those rose colored glasses off, you might see the harm he has done, your response is as predictable as the direction the sun is coming up. People and this country will survive the Trump storm should it come at us for another four years, the damage done to the environment, relations with our allies and faith in our justice system will take decades to recover.

Four more years if you want to live on Trump Island instead of the United States and if the wording is changed from we the people to we the trump family.

The Republican National Committee will go without a traditional policy platform at the upcoming GOP convention, and said instead it “will continue to enthusiastically support the president’s America-first agenda.”

So the takeover of the Republican Party is complete.
All that remains is to change the name

This is no longer about politics is it?
This is about fealty to and adulation of a single person. No ideas or beliefs other than his. No accountability other than to him: Republicans to forego party platform in favor of full support for his agenda.
When a political party votes to have no political platform other than enthusiastically supporting its leader, it's no longer a political party. It's a cult.
Over time parties taken over by authoritarians lose identity apart from the leader- their resources and time are monopolized by the need to defend him no matter what he says or does.

You keep putting words in mouths that didn't speak them. It's an essential propaganda trick. "Republican National Committee members voted to extend the party's 2016 platform through 2024."

The GOP does have a political platform.

G.O.P. Platform, Rolled Over From 2016, Condemns the ‘Current President’

To capture the spirit of a convention held by a party now fully prostrate before its leader, Trump should insist on speaking each night from a replica of the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia.

So now that we've established that you told yet another lie, and the Repubs do have a platform, and after ragging on the G.O.P. for being a cult, you note something in it that you like. Something that belies your accusation that it "is about fealty to and adulation of a single person. No ideas or beliefs other than his. No accountability other than to him". Perhaps you should read the platform that you said doesn't exist, and you might be surprised to find traditional Republican stuff in it instead of your portrayal of the party losing its identity other than being some personification of Trump

Or from the podium at the Reichstag. You do have these visions of Trump as Hitler or Mussollini. Actually, he prefers hugging the American flag.

Fixed it for you

This reality TV President is a barking carnival clown
What other incumbent has ever run on "crime is up since I got elected, re-elect me because I say the other guy will make it worse"?

Actually, much to your chagrin, he is the President of the United States.

Meanwhile at the RNC
Kimberly Guilfoyle says she is "a first generation American" pointing to her mother, "a special education teacher from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico," and her father, "also an immigrant," so it's worth pointing out that Puerto Rico is a US Territory and its resident are US Citizens.
Nikki Haley says America is not racist and then describes how she experienced racism herself
The McCloskeys effectively and credibly conveyed the GOP’s message that if Joe Biden is elected, a day may come when you’re not allowed to shoot a Negro from your porch.

Technically Puerto Rico’s citizens are citizens of the United States not its residents

I figured it’s worth pointing that out

Why isn’t the GOP producing a new platform for its 2020 convention?

Because a platform means you stand for something.

In the middle of a pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, America’s billionaires have made a fortune:

Bezos: +$76B
Musk: +$43B
Zuckerberg: +$42B
Balmer: +$18B
Ellison: +$12B

Life is great, don’t worry it will trickle down.

7 out of 14 are named Trump or Kimberly Guilfoyle, JR girlfriend Her first husband was the Democratic politician Gavin Newsom,


Or Ms. McCloskey said that Democrats wanted to “abolish the suburbs altogether by ending single-family home zoning,”

That's funny you cant find.a house like theirs in. The suburbs as if their middle class people


SO under Trumps (AKA Joker) leadership they have turned America into Gotham city .

But if you elect Biden their coming for you. warning of a “vengeful mob” that would lay waste to suburban communities and turn quiet neighborhoods into war zones.

Sound like ever authoritarian government that ever existed , blame the other side for the problems you created

More disfunction w/our first family.

On Monday the media reporter Yashar Ali cited unnamed sources in reporting that Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former friend and adviser, “taped the first lady” and plans to share the remarks in her book.

They include “harsh comments about Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter and a senior adviser”, Ali wrote.
