They promised a bunch of shit just like Bernie is doing then they did nothing but fuck us over. I always voted for Democrats in the past but I no longer believe ANYTHING they say. Trump is a giant middle finger to the government. That's why people voted for him! He's driving the government insane and that's what the people want. Its revenge to the system that's fucked us over time and time again.
People love to blame the president, and never look any deeper. Such as the fact that the Tea Party congress blockaded Obama starting in 2010. We have video of Mitch McConnell saying "we're gonna make Obama a one term president" in like, '09-10.
This is why I think everyone else in the world is entirely justified in treating any and all Americans as trumpers. Americans should not be offended when the MAGA hat becomes the new KKK hood--we're proud of it.
donnie is driving the government bonkers. For the same reason that North Korea cancelled the last diplomatic negotiations--The dude is so worthless, he managed to piss away US military might against some shit tier country that's using the USSR's trash heap for its military...and now they dictate diplomacy between them and the US.

District of Columbia is not a state. They have long not been happy about it.
Republicans block DC statehood because that's basically guaranteed to be 2 democratic senators for the forseeable future.
This is also why DC license plates all say "no taxation without representation", being that this was a revolutionary slogan, and DC has taxes and no representation in congress.

Except census bureau data hasn't been published for any years past 2014 yet.
That "census bureau data" you're talking about is actually research done by Sentier Research, a somewhat cagy source with very little public information, in an article championed by Stephen Moore, notable as the former president of the Club for Growth, a conservative nonprofit think tank that champions tax cuts, deregulation, "limited government" and balanced budgets through "entitlement reform".

62%, so, closer to 2/3rds.

I think saying that "there is no possible thing that could change my positive mindset" falls squarely into "cult mentality".
They are literally saying that donnie could rape a child on live TV and they'd still support him.

No, "can't think of anything he could do that would cause him to lose their support" just means they don't think he's capable of doing anything that horrible.
I disagree. If that was true, it would be "I can't think of anything he would do that would cause him to lose my support"
Could vs. would is a big difference.

So, am I to assume that you're now leading the charge on the Ukraine conspiracy, which has been publicly debunked by both the intelligence services and literally every expert on Ukrainian and Russian politics in the US?
Also, that donnie is too skinny.

It was never shown that any of the people in the cartoon, or their families, were making any money illegitimately in Ukraine.

The key word here being "illegitimately".
That would be Rick Perry's oil buddies, the ones that just recieved a 50 year contract to drill for oil in Ukraine after undercutting the competing Ukrainian bid by several million dollars.

Falcon91Wolvrn03 said: I thoght corruption was the main issue, but the establishment is determined to keep the conversation from ever going there, and to confuse people whenever it does.
I previously wrote about how Dems rejected a GOP subpoena request, and that post also provided other details about corruption. There's a LOT more out there, but you won't find it in the mainstream news.
I'd be happy to provide links to the corruption allegations against each of the people in my comic and/or their families if you're interested.
You previously laid out why the previous administration of Ukraine was corrupt. neither of your articles provide anything other than a tenuous connection to Biden, and neither of them is particularly specific. One completely discounts Hunter Biden's pretty impressive credentials as a business manager. The other simply states that a guy involved with a hedge fund that potentially made money off Ukranian corruption also happened to be an Obama donor.
And yes, democrats voted down subpoenaing unrelated witnesses. This was addressed in the testimony. "There is no credible evidence of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 elections". Similarly, if I am on trial for murder, there is absolutely no need to subpoena some random dude I went to high school with and haven't seen in decades.

Exactly. I was about to ask what that meant. Is corruption legit when there isn't a specific law against it?
If there is no specific law against it, it isn't corruption.

Wikileaks has an entire section devoted to legal corruption.
I'll give an example:
There are currently laws prohibiting Congresspeople and their spouses from making business deals abroad, so now corrupt Congresspeople simple have family members make these deals instead. That's still corrupt, but legal.
And do you really believe Hunter Biden has "pretty impressive credentials as a business manager" that allow him to make far more than his Yale classmates, or are you being partisan?
Also, it's funny how when I argued there was no credible evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, people told me that we should still look at all the evidence just to be sure, and I actually agreed. Now that the dems are being investigated, we see a clear double standard.
Legal impossibility is a valid defense. I.e., doing something that isn't a crime is not criminal.

By the way, I thought this was mainly about corruption, but now everyone seems to think it's about Ukrainian interference? That was a good sleight of hand by the Dems.
Yes, it is about corruption. The GOP decided to bring up a Putin point as their defense. It is being dismantled.

Everybody knew donnie was a corrupt grifter, there's a reason his own hometown voted for him at a rate of 18%.
As far as his "defense of speech" and "defense of the second amendment"...
donnie has done more to restrict the second amendment than any president since Clinton.

Kaepernic also went out of his way to talk to veterans and figure out the most respectful form of protest.
So yeah, donnie has done more damage to both the first and second amendments in modern history and 25 years, respectively.

Direct influence?
1) Criminalizing legal protests (Keystone) 2) Openly attacking peaceful protesters (NFL) 3) Openly attacking peaceful protesters (the many marches) 4) Bump stock ban (the only significant anti-gun legislation of the last 25 years)

Too late for that, best time to buy up guns and ammo was in 2017. Remington almost went bankrupt when donnie won.
You'll have to wait until 2021 if donnie wins again, or the next republican in 2029.

I wonder if people spreading the god emperor memes realize how dystopian 40k is?
I don't think that's the point.
I think they look at the world and assume they'd be one of the insiders. People do, fundamentally, think others think the same way they do. I'm sure there are plenty of right wing standard bearers that would love to pull their friends and family up when they were at the top, so they assume that the god emperor will reward them for their loyalty as well.
They don't realize that's not how the God emperor thinks, and that all they are is just pawns. Meat for the meat grinder.

Next time I go to the gun range, I should hang up a picture of donnie.
Ya know, just joking around, enjoying my God given rights.
