Yeah. When I heard him call Epstein a 'democrat hoax,' my heart dropped a bit, especially when it was later exposed as anything but a hoax.




See, this a disingenous comment. Yes, Epstein was a scumbag who deserved prison for pimping high school girls no matter how willing they were but when half the hookers in FL saw a potential payday and started making ever crazier claims of being abducted as children and taken to Epstein Island where infants were being eaten it did become a hoax. The crazy stories that turn the obssessed perverts on so much are easily discredited. Mostly by the simple math of comparing the hooker's DOB to Epstein's purchase of the island.

"The Republicans" don't "put anyone up."

They hold primary elections and the voters do.

For some reason we act like that's not true.

I think DeSantis might would have been.

Uhh, are you dudes sure they weren’t talking about the Democrat candidate when they said “better than the alternative” or whatevs?? Because that was the sense I got, and it really wasn’t close.

I liked Rubio and Ramaswamy but apparently they were too brown and had weird names. But no doubt were the most intelligent and best leaders.

I will give Trump credit, he’s hilarious in debates with those savage comments against Clinton, Biden, etc. I also enjoy shouting “lock her up” in angry mob style because it’s fun and gives me unity—I don’t know why we want to lock her up, but frick I hate her so much I don’t care.

Of course they were.

That's the point.

It's called busting a false dilemma fallacy.

You can add about a half dozen more items from the housing bill that Liz Warren and Obama supported. And he just affirmed the premise of imposing international carbon taxes the other day.

Arguably, Trump has done more damage to conservatives than democrats.

I think Ron is a great governor. He is a good administrator. His problem is he is too stiff and awkward. I would have been fine with Ron as President, but that’s why people didn’t vote for him. For some reason he didn't connect with national voters.

Soooooo the Democrats are giving him such a hard time because he’s not blocking their agenda? Yeah you may wanna clarify that a tad. Or delete it would be my recommendation.

Just ask yourself where this country would be right now if Kamala had been elected.

Nope. Lower marginal tax rate. Anti-fig. Anti-tranny. Anti-illegal alien. Anti-collectivism. Pretty much everything I voted for. Now, go frick yourself, fa ggot.

You understood what I meant. I vote for who I think is best in the primary, but once the nomination is decided I’m not voting for a Democrat. They are completely off the reservation.

I almost went there and decided it wouldn't be worth my time to find the links.

The dumbest thing the Democratic Party ever did IMO was make an enemy of Trump.

If they had kissed his arse and called him the "Great Uniter" or some other flattering shite instead of calling him a fascist, et. al., they could have gotten him to do even more stuff than what you posted that they would agree with.

It's not like he has any political foundational principles that he uses to guide his policy choices. Anything he feels like on any particular day is fair game.

Did democrats block the housing bill? Nope. I have said many time I don't understand the democrat opposition to Trump. He's governing left of Clinton.

Conned? Not really. Trump has always LOVED spending and deficits. I knew he loved tariffs. I hate both of those w/ white hot rage.

That said, have you looked at how the number of bureaucrats has plummeted? The border is sealed up, which is YUGE. He put Gorsuch and Kav on the bench. Unfortunately, he went all DEI in his first term and put ACB on the bench, but I think he probably learned the hard way from that.

So, overall, he's about what I expected, except for starting a war w/ Iran.

Hindsight being 20/20, I still vote for him over Kamala 100 out of 100 times.

I really supported the man and now I feel a little silly and embarrassed. At least I can admit I was wrong. Anyone else in the same situation and why?


What Trump policies do you support and why do you feel silly and embarrassed for ever supporting Trump?

Let's be honest here, any of the Democratic Socialist candidates for the presidency would have the US in a worse place than we are now simply because there would still be millions of illegals flooding unchecked into the US. Trump's success in stopping mass illegal immigration is 10x better than any Democratic Socialist President being in office.
