Rep. Jim Banks: GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’ Plan Shows This Is ‘Truly a New Republican Party’

That was 2014. As a reminder, that was during the Obama Presidency, and the 2020 GOP platform was 6 years later.

Okay, now that you've caught up on your historical inaccuracies and have re-educated yourself, try reading what I actually wrote. I can provide further tutoring if necessary.

 

Given your claim that "there was no update to the GOP platform except to go easier on Putin over invading Ukraine," I frankly thought you were going to give me some timey-wimey reason that the GOP would make it easier to launch an invasion that occurred 6 years prior or two years in the future.

Time travel is confusing however!

My statement is objectively true. If you have questions, direct them to Trump and his campaign.

No time travel necessary. Try paying attention to the facts.

You are the only one perplexed. Everyone else gets it. What do you need more tutoring on?

Let's try baby steps:

1) Putin invaded Ukraine (which you've admitted you didn't know about until I told you about it).
2) The US issued sanctions against Putin for invading Ukraine.
3) The ONLY change to the GOP platform that Trump's campaign requested was to go easier on Putin for the above.

Get it? Pretty sure your average middle schooler could understand this. Why are you pretending you can't comprehend?

 

Republicans can NOT claim to be hard on crime when they work so diligently to ignore the INSURRECTION that THEY are responsible for.

 

The 2020 GOP platform was unchanged from the 2016 platform,

2016 was when the Trump campaign requested the change to go easier on Putin. In 2020, there was no change (as I already pointed out . . . and, no that isn't a good thing) because the entire direction was just to support Trump's agenda. Do you honestly not comprehend basic historical facts or are you just pretending? Try reading.

 

@Lil Mike , since you didn't read what I originally wrote, here it is again:

"In Trump's first run (well, second . . . Trump prefers we ignore his actual first presidential run), there was no update to the GOP platform except to go easier on Putin over invading Ukraine. In his second run, there was no update to the GOP platform at all . . . the only thing there was to declare allegiance to Trump. So, after almost a decade, if the GOP FINALLY has a platform other than licking Trump and Putin's boot leather, I'll welcome it."

Do you need more notes to comprehend the above? Aside from Trump not wanting to count his actual first run, it isn't complicated.

 

Uh, you said it right there: "well second..."

Trump's second run...the 2020 race. Yes I comprehend what you wrote. You wrote his second presidential run.

So...you clearly wrote an illogical sentence, referring to second presidential run as two distinct runs for President.

Like and follow me pointing out logical inconsistencies!

 

No, you didn't comprehend. 2020 was not Trump's second run. 2016 was. As I referenced in the post you quoted. Try reading. You'll be able to figure out the logic if you try actually reading.

 

OK, you are saying 2016 was Trump's second run for the Presidency?

That does explain a lot.

Yes. It was his second run. He also ran in 2000.

Cool. I have facts on my side and you have emojis on yours. I'll stick with the facts. You keep pretending emojis are better than reality. It kind of explains everything.

 

OK to be clear, when you made this statement:

""In Trump's first run (well, second . . . Trump prefers we ignore his actual first presidential run), there was no update to the GOP platform except to go easier on Putin over invading Ukraine. In his second run, there was no update to the GOP platform at all . . . the only thing there was to declare allegiance to Trump. So, after almost a decade, if the GOP FINALLY has a platform other than licking Trump and Putin's boot leather, I'll welcome it."

First, you were counting Trump's brief stint as a Reform Party candidate in 2000 as his first Presidential run, and secondly, referring to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which happened this year, you really meant the annexation of Crimea?

Wow, much to unpack over your nutty comment. I guess I'll just dumb it down, as seems necessary, to this: The GOP platform has no connection to Trump's 2000 reform party exploratory committee. So mentioning it in conjunction with the GOP party platform seems nuts. In addition, referring to the Crimea annexation as "Putin invading Ukraine" might make sense if the Crimea annexation were Putin's only invasion, but when he invaded THIS YEAR it helps to mess up the timeline.

What to make of all this?

Best case scenario, you deliberately wrote that statement in the most obtuse way possible, (and is in fact incorrect unless you include your but ifs) in order to get attention so someone would pay attention to you.

Worse case scenario: Probably would get this post deleted by the mods, so I'll just leave it at that.

As it is, my work as done. And given the best case scenario, You win! You got some attention!

 

It isn't much to unpack. I'm sorry you feel like you need hand-holding here, but you seem to be the only one on the forum that needs such assistance.

I'll try typing slower.

Trump ran 3 times.

During his second run (which I was fine referring to as his first in order to protect his fragile ego), the only change his administration wanted to the party platform was to go easier on Putin for invading Ukraine. This is an objective fact. Learn to live with it, no matter how much it may hurt the Grand Snowflake's feelings.

Where are you getting lost? As my dad would say, this ain't exactly rocket surgery, pal. Pretty simple concepts. Let me know if I need to water them down even more so that even Trump supporters can understand these basic concepts.

I'm sorry this is your first time encountering the concept that someone can invade a country more than once. But, seriously, how the **** didn't you know that already?

 

Still at it? I guess you want to date me.

 

White flag accepted. Thanks for "contributing." Funny how you want to flee from the discussion at the precise moment that you finally understand the facts, but not exactly surprising.

 

"White flag accepted"

That's about as clever as "I know you are but what am I?"

Haha!

 

We weren’t responsible for almost 600 violent and destructive riots and insurrections from late may to early October 2020.

 

So I successfully matched the "I guess you want to date me" bar that you set. When I spoke in facts, you got upset. When I matched your "arguments," you got upset again. Let me know when you are capable of having this conversation.

 

New? As in the bullshit that almost ended These United States on January 6th 2021? Trump, Trump, Trump this, Trump that? Traitor tRump is why the Democrats are in control (and doing a good job of resorting relations with our Allies and dignity to the Office of President of The United States, and actually passing programs that help common AmeriCAN's). They want to be the Law and Order party so tRaitor tRump can lay down the law and order Capitol Police out of the way so he can remain in power forever. There is nothing NEW in that program, no matter how much sugary icing you put on that cake of bullshit.

 

LOL - Jan 6 is NOT just some riot.

It was a targeted violent assault on our democracy with the purpose of changing the election outcome and killing the VP of the USA.

 

You're not very good at this mind reading thing if you think I got upset during this entire interaction in this thread. It was fun. But if that's what you need to tell yourself, mind read away.

 

The fact that you got so worked up over basic historical facts and desperately ran away from the topic when presented with them says otherwise.

 

Reading comprehension obviously isn't your strong point but seeing you lose it sure is entertaining.

And the great majority of drugs do enter the US from the border crossings in cars, trucks, etc. and through ports.

Kids are using drugs. pills that are cut with fentanyl which can and has killed them.
Fentanyl is used to CUT heroin and cocaine and you're telling me that kids don't buy these drugs and don't OD from them they just accidentally come in contact with it.
That is one of the dumbest claims ever about kids and drugs.
Where is McCarthy quoted as saying heroin or cocaine?
He's NOT/

You can't deny what McCarthy said...lol

 

"basic historical facts"

Heh!
