Have we had one trump policy even mentioned on here?
I doubt anyone would know of any successful policies. Its basically been media snippet half truths from Trump hating loons.
He has had some huge successes and big failures. Probably one of the most complex presidential terms from memory.
Yes we can talk about "policies". And as one goes through each policy we see a litany of environmental, social and international wreckage.
But the overriding issue of this administration is the rise and overwhelming power of a politician who knows no limits, respects no norms and is totally and utterly shameless.
And that person has created a personality cult of multi millions of people who believe everything he says regardless of reality or consequence and embraces this lawless, shameless President.
The move to appoint a Supreme Court judge just before an election is another removal of precedent that democracy is built on.
Regarding the language / labelling used here in the thread is really disturbing as its currently the political weapon of choice to label any that any that disagree with extreme accusations creating greater divides in the community.
This is not Australia or an Australian value heaven forbid we get to the extremes currently tearing the US apart all with no moral or ethical leadership.
Got a link?Saw also overnight he is threatening getting Biden banned from becoming President by using his executive powers. I wouldn't have thought that was a vote winner but maybe it is.
High possibility the rinos will block the vote. Democrats are working them hard.Senator Lisa Murkowski said she would oppose confirming a Supreme Court nominee before the election. She is the second Republican senator to do so.
“For weeks, I have stated that I would not support taking up a potential Supreme Court vacancy this close to the election,” Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said in a statement. “Sadly, what was then a hypothetical is now our reality, but my position has not changed. I did not support taking up a nomination eight months before the 2016 election to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Justice Scalia. We are now even closer to the 2020 election — less than two months out — and I believe the same standard must apply.”
Senator Susan Collins of Maine had said Saturday that she did not believe that the Senate should vote on a nominee before the election.
Here's one link of many. It's just bluster, his style of whipping up the audience. I don't think he would do it.Got a link?
He says a lot of this stuff to his supporters. Remember "lock her up"?Here's one link of many. It's just bluster, his style of whipping up the audience. I don't think he would do it.
Trump Threatens To Issue Executive Order Preventing Biden From Being Elected President
"He is the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics."www.forbes.com
If he did though, what a constitutional crisis!He says a lot of this stuff to his supporters. Remember "lock her up"?
A lot of his supporters were pissed it never happened.
Populist rubbish that never comes to pass. Great for a show and a stir though. And he routinely stirs the media and twitter.
And how is any of what you have written there useful, interesting or conducive to constructive and nuanced political discussion or debate?
This sort of post is exactly what is wrong with political debate in 2020. It is almost devoid of any content of value, laced with partisan bile, and comes across as almost hysterical in tone.
Frankly, I'm tired of it from both sides of politics. Is it really that hard to see issues from a pragmatic point of view instead of through a myopic partisan prism?
I feel like I've heard the same predictable rubbish over and over again from the partisan left and the right for years now. Nothing new or interesting is ever offered up, just the same old tired refrains repeated ad nauseum like a broken record.
There's very little discussion or debate of any value happening in any political threads here or anywhere else. It seems like an endless parade of people infatuated with their own opinions and themselves.
I'm over it.
He would be marched out imo. His base are constitution junkies that would skewer him like a pig. It would be his downfall if he even moved in that direction.If he did though, what a constitutional crisis!
43 days left till the election. Its nearly as bad as the lockdown here in Melbourne.
This is the kind of emotive rubbish that got trump elected the first timeHow would we view a business run by someone like Donald Trump ?
Why not take look at the behavior of the current President and ask " Is this suitable for the Head of a multbillion dollar corporation"
The President is Manager of the business (not the owner) So how do we feel as shareholders if he appointed numerous family members as staff and used the business to enable his own financial interests to be tended and promoted ? Conflicts of interest here ?
How would we view this Manager if 26 women brought up a series of abuse and rape allegations which he routinely denies and then abuses each and every one of them ? How would we feel if we heard from his own lips how he aggressively pursues women and won't take no for an answer ? Would we feel confident that the allegations are still baseless ? How would we feel if he then used the companies resources to defend himself against legal charges brought by the one of the aggrieved women and he refused to supply DNA results that could clear him (or convict him ..)
What would be our thoughts if this Manager attacked and undermined numerous important business partners that have been critical parts of our business structure for many years ? How would we feel if he then starting business relationships with companies that frankly we think are shoddy, dangerous perhaps even criminal ? Are we happy as shareholders here?
When we look at the administration of the company how do we feel when Department Head after Department Head is sacked or leaves. Their pedigree seems impeccable. They have long succesful business histories. But the President won't accept anyone who doesn't totally bend to his will. And when these people leave they tell stories of mismanagement that make one concerned about whether the business can survive.
As shareholders we also hear the President repeatedly say things that are provably untrue. It gets worse when some of the most serious problems we face as a company are publicly denied (COVID 19) and then we discover he actually understood the seriousness of the problem. And because of his deception what was initially a serious problem has metastasized into a still unfolding disaster.
How do we view such a person as President of our company ?
