Which of these fine folks strikes you as the next Larry Page? Yet, everyone seems to think that voting Republican will give them a chance.... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense I won't go into specifics because I know going down that rabbit hole will get me banned (cancelled) .. But ever since covid the left has gone mad/extreme on so many levels But all that stuff has literally nothing to do with why I'd take Trump over any other politician (republican or democrat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this so hard to do? Not accept political bribes from donors special interests (atleast to the scale of other politicians) Made NATO pay their fair share, and not having so much of that weight be put on the American tax payers Didn't take the $400k annual salary paid by American tax payers Willing to try and put an end to the conflict in the middle east Its not hard to do. I've said these things. You know these things. You just refuse to listen to these things because your head is so far up the left's ass lol. You're no different than a republican that is only voting Trump because he's a republican. I have on MANY occasions over this discussion admitted a lot of the bad about Trump. I watch news from all over. From CNN to Fox, to WION (Indian news channel) amongst other world wide networks. I don't put tunnel vision glasses on with the media like most seem to do. I don't watch it often, but I get a little bit from everywhere.. Interesting when you see the bias from other perspectives.. Apparently WIIN is a Russia bias network. Found that out after watching a video of it seeming like Russia was winning the war, just minutes after hearing the exact opposite from another network. Funny really. And the people watching these networks swear by these networks and REALLY believe in their hearts that they're being fed the whole truth and not being lied to. Kinda like religion. Everyone believes their god is the right god and everyone else is crazy. Both are just methods to brainwash the public for their own personal gain Edited 2 hours ago by Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone believes their god is the right god and everyone else is crazy. Both are just methods to brainwash the public for their own personal gain Are you sure about that bribe stuff? Can you provide proof either way? You may also want to look into how much money the Trump organization made from US taxpayers. Or how much money Jared and Ivanka took in from the Saudis. Or maybe this: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-01-04/trump-took-7-8-million-in-foreign-cash-while-in-office-he-d-do-it-again Trump did push NATO to pay more. Didn't succeed in that attempt as much as Russia did though. Trump did fairly well in the middle east. Every President does something after all. I'm sure Jared was in his ear from day one. I wonder if Trump felt taking a Presidential salary meant that he'd be more likely to have to submit tax returns. If not that, he does know the power of public relation campaigns and how good deferring his salary would look. And, if you are raking in millions from foreign governments who needs 400K? If we are back to talking religion - and for what reason I don't really know - Trump is the opiate of the people.

If we are back to talking religion - and for what reason I don't really know - Trump is the opiate of the people. You hear about this stuff with every single politician. Not saying it's right, and I don't know the truth behind any of it, but my point is it's no different than the Hunter Biden/Ukraine stuff floating around. But outside of that media noise I see Trump being booed in the republican primaries. All by "donors and special interests". Ignore the mainstream shit and look at that moment.. Or the not taking the annual salary.. If he was so greedy why is he not taking all this free easy money? Even when he was running against Clinton you guys pushed the whole "Trump don't pay taxes" thing.. And he hilariously admitted to it and pointed out it's because the corrupt politicians had tax breaks for the billionaires just like him. You know, those people that care so much about the poor community Am I supposed to believe these people that say Trump is corrupt when these are the same people trying to convince me that Trump is a Putin loving dictator that's trying to end democracy? .. The man that's has had the justice system thrown at him more than any other politician, and blatant extremist wording to media leading to assassination attempts on his life. Not to mention the VERY suspicious lack of skill from the highly trained US secret service team.. Yea there is just way too much out there for anyone to convince me this guy is just as corrupt as the other ones. There's a reason they're trying so hard to knock him out of favor, and I firmly believe it's because they cant completely control him like they can the others. I don't think Trump is going to survive the 4 years tbh. He might get taken out before February if he's elected.. But I do think he's the only hope we got at not breaking out into a WW3.. and I really believe that's the agenda that has them so against Trump. The US wants this war. They've been preparing for it since the end of WW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
