I'm a fiscal conservative and social Classical Liberal. And I'm a Rightwinger. But are you a Leftist? In other words: Do you think that hate speech must be controlled? That the world would be better off without the USA? That the world would be better off without humans? That we must embrace the nonsense that there are more than two genders?
No. No, I don't want to control speech, but I should point out some leftwingers are against controlling speech, so making this as a litmus test is probably a bad idea. A lot of leftwingers disagree with that view. What? Geezuz, relax on this stuff. Who cares?
I was observing that your side looks for reasons to support Trump. You should be taking a second look at what you bought in 2016. Young people are quite liberal socially, they don't like your policies, and Trump is damaging the brand with them. It would be better to lose in 2020 than cede the party to Trump.
But many more Leftists are for controlling speech because it suits their authoritarian nature. The concept of fair and open political debate scares them because they know they'll lose. So they invent excuses like "Trump supporters are all racists", for deplatforming and attacking them physically. But a lot agree with that view. I daresay there aren't any on the Right who think the USA is the problem with the world. Leftists more and more are blaming homo sapiens for the non-crisis that is Climate Change and the damage to Gaia. Now articles about eating dead bodies and sentiments from Leftists along the lines of "Flawed humans are going to keep degrading the earth until there is nothing left. Without humans, the world will be able to go on. No pollution. No artificial destruction. Nobody to destroy the earth." are becoming more common. Leftist authoritarians who want to create chaos, upend traditional society and force people to obey.
We're talking about the economic return to labor, not the cost of labor to employers. "Personal tax" refers to personal income taxes. The system was rigged against wage earners. For whatever reason, Trump is acting like a politically incompetent orthodox Republican.
Those left-of-center who support free speech outnumber those who oppose it, so who are the leftists you're talking about? Again, who are you talking about? You're talking about stuff the average Democrat doesn't believe.
He's proposed nothing of note in this area. He certainly hasn't pushed in this area. We're still in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Trump is picking fights with North Korea and Iran. Some regulations he's axed were good ones. A more thoughtful approach should be taken. Less important than an effective e-verify system. It's no mistake that Trump isn't going to employers on the spot for hiring illegals. He should be reforming the government and cutting the bureaucracy, then matching revenue and expenses over the business cycle. It would have been done, anyway. I see no effort specifically on behalf of minorities.
Wikipedia says exports or the US is 19.25% of all of Chinese exports. That’s a sizable chunk, wouldn’t you think? To make e-verify mandatory you need an act of Congress. Reparations? Thanks, but not thanks! How do you know? The only aggression i see from him are his shoulder rubs. He was in politics for at least 50 years now. Like what?
Yes, and exports are less than 20% of the GDP. You do the math. Yes, and...? She has other policies she could get passed we should be concerned about. How about those?
Nobody believes the media when they tell lies and attribute them to "unnamed sources". Americans Who Can’t Agree on Anything Agree Our Media Sucks. Next time you’re at the grocery store, try counting the number of deodorants there are to choose from (sorry, Bernie!), and see which happens first: You add up the total, or you grow a ZZ Top beard. Now go down the aisle a little ways and try totaling up your shaving options. Hurry it up, please — I haven’t got all day. Let’s not even get started on the number of faiths and denominations Americans have to choose from, because I’m trying to keep this column light and friendly. All this choice, all these options — they’re a good thing, especially for 320 million people who can’t agree on much of anything. And yet according to new research, there is one issue upon which virtually every American can and does agree: Our news media sucks.
How are YOU not? I asked you first anyway. Stop your Philadelphia lawyer's tricks and answer the god-cursed question.
Well, if someone is forced to describe himself as not crazy, he surely is. Right? ...I want to be clear, I’m not going nuts," Biden said during a campaign rally in New Hampshire — a comment that surely extended beyond the confusion he was trying to clear up at the time, the Los Angeles Times reports.
What is clear is that leftists fixation with wounding President Trump has become pathological. Consequently, that which is in decline is neither the President, nor the nation or Democracy, but the sanity of leftists.
Do you need a list? Here's one, just a partial. 1. He has rolled back regulations that protect clean air and water, choosing wealthy polluters over we the people. 2. His lack of a cohesive foreign policy has done great damage to our standing in the world. We are no longer seen as leaders. The State Department is in diasarray, with many key positions empty and a lot of work not getting done. We don't have ambassadors for key places like Germany and South Korea. Career diplomats have left in droves, many due to the fact that only Trump's political appointees are listened to. 3. Trump's ham-fisted "off the top of his head" and spur of the moment tariffs, the trade war with China, his ignorance about who ultimately ends up paying for his whims in that regard, have created so much uncertainty that it is negatively effecting world markets, not just the Dow. 4. He is flaunting the fact that the Justice Department has a rule against indicting a sitting president, committing crimes from obstruction of justice to violations of the constitution's emoluments clause. Not only do foreign dignitaries stay at his DC hotel, but he has arranged for our service personnel to stop over in Scotland instead of our Air Force bases in Germany and other European locations, having them stay at his resort at a very high cost to taxpayers, and having them refuel at the local airport at retail prices, also at pur expanse, in a blatant effort to keep a dying, broke airport solvent because it is the only airport with access to his resort. That's taking our money, yours and mine, and basically putting it in his own pocket. Are you okay with that? Like I said, the short list. His supporters are truly blind, and their constant attempts to excuse Trump's behavior are pathetic.
Again, the media is not responsible for the words that come out of Trump's teensy cake hole, or from his Twitter account. This thread is not about how much we dislike the media, it is about Trump's unfitness for the office. The media doesn't need to invent anything, just report what he says and does.
The untidy hair only works for Boris Johnson. That guy deliberately musses his own hair when he knows he'll be on camera. Trump's hair is the least of his problems.
