I concur. When inflation is high and prices soaring, you can't tell people how great the DOW is doing or LOOK AT THE GDP!!! To them, their personal finances are economics, not the stock market.

The sad part is, this is the same economic measure that Trump used to tout the "economy". For the record, the economy is the best it has been since 1960s. That said, the people's perception of it is what matters unfortunately.

So looking at the first one (seattle), apparently they used to have a no-nudity law that was challenged in court and the city lost. It violated their first amendment according to the court. Yeah, probably shouldn't be taking kids to these kinds of events. Never fails you'll have dipshits that really go overboard and make everybody look bad. Only takes a few individuals.

That said, what does this have to do with Dems on the federal level? Any of them city mayors that applauded this behavior?

Still trafficking even if she had been 40 and there is a line we have established about minors, and she was a minor and minors can't give consent. Also don't gloss over his fraud, bribery and drug links. But it doesn't seem likely to matter as his nomination was a dead man walking from the beginning and I would have thought Trump must have known that (But then other than himself no one considers him to be the sharpest knife in the drawer).

Come on now there are plenty of examples for both. This is the same way MAGA argues about the crimes Trump committed every time you point out he attempted a coup they demand a source and no matter how many times you provide sources which are so easy to find themselves they repeat the demand. It's just another way of them saying didn't happen, didn't happen, didn't happen, over and over no matter what the evidence is.

Thanks for the source Chico.

I'll have to say that's a terrible policy. I personally don't think anybody should get a transgender surgery before the age of 18. At least at that age, the child will be old enough to make that choice on their own. I wouldn't trust a young child as a minor. Hell, they can't drive or vote so...

Like Peter Buttigieg, Merrick Garland, Antony Blinken, Janet Yellen, etc. etc. aren't the same "sycophants" that Biden appointed, but just with a D next to their name instead.

I just don't understand the blatant double-standard you guys can have about all things Trump. Like he was the beginning and end of this. Nothing like this EVER happened before 2016 or from 2020-2024.[/quote]
Two things:

1. There is a really good chance that some of the people you converse with on here are government employees (or have close relatives who are government employees) and the Trump administration is likely to eliminate their jobs. These people are unlikely to say anything positive about Trump ever.

2. So many people on the left get their information from social media, and for the past 8+ years, social media platforms have been running hard and fast algorithms on people to have strict control over exactly what information they are exposed to. Regular "left" and "right" media is also on polar ends of the political spectrum. That is why a poster above had no clue about the policy issues you mentioned (which greatly contributed to a brutal election loss). That poster is not "stupid" or a "hypocrite." He was just uninformed (which is both common and entirely by design). Hopefully, the Trump administration puts a hard stop to all of the psyoping abuses that have created a huge societal divide.

So many people on the left???? Try it without the caveat "left" and you'd be accurate, and I'd even go so far as to say the right is even more uniformed than the left. The US is essentially screwed. Dems moved too far left and can't see that is why they lost (Heck just last week Dem Congressman Moulter tried to tell them this and now the progressives promise to primary him), while a populist right movement has essentially destroyed conservatism in the GOP. So, we end up with the worst of both worlds.

Its not as much of a shock as it was in 2016. People really didn't expect him to win based on the polls showing Hillary with solid leads in the blue wall states. This time, the polls were showing more of an even race, and Trump outperformed the polls in 2016 and 2020, when he was further down to Biden than he was to Hillary, and just barely lost.

I don't discount the general appeal of Trump's America First agenda. But the main thrust seems to be in improving things for the average American that went sideways.....but from exactly when did that start? The logical answer to me is that policies of both parties have been a failure in that regard based on things like trade, immigration, foreign aid, wars, etc. Unfortunately, it seems that voters of either party will reflexively blame the other for the country's woes. I ask, again....if Trump had ran as a Dem in 2016 and beaten Hillary in the primaries espousing the same policies, how many GOP voters would've chosen him over, say, Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio in a general election?
