My guess is it's the latter. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as a real weakness for a guy that seems to be able to provide good content. You just have to 'bag' on opinions. I could give you rebuttals to your points. -he didn't conceed... -some off hand comments he's made -people that know politics better than me, some that know Trump himself, have similar concerns. To boil down my post that confused you so much, my point was... Why would the US risk it? See, we had a bit of a discussion on a discussion board. I'm not sure if there are any sites you might be happier at, that mostly communicate via emojis? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think some comments are unnecessary exaggerations, such as the one you made, when there's already enough to criticize. Hard to take those types of statements seriously. Reeks of fear mongering. You're welcome to believe it, but don't be surprised when others have different reactions to it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what your level of concern is then on his plans to purge the government and staff it with loyalists and become an authoritarian with the help of the Supreme Court and Project 2025. He was president in 2016 and power transitioned, yes. But he still tried a Jan 6 coup. Another reason democracy continued neither he nor the Republicans were expecting to beat hillary and a lot of their extremist tendencies were held in check by the institutions that were still staffed with professionals. That still didn't stop trump from crippling the State department. The playbook with 2025 is to fire them all and replace them with yes men so his more draconian measures can go through. These are the same folks that have worked decades to get Roe V Wade reversed so they're pretty skilled technocrats that can find loopholes to get these things done. This is a serious threat. And I'd be shouting the same alarm bells if Biden woke up tomorrow and decided to outlaw private property and place everyone in anarchist communes.

FACT FOCUS: Online Reports Falsely Claim Biden Suffered a ‘Medical Emergency’ on Air Force One False reports that President Joe Biden had a “medical emeregency” while traveling on Air Force One Friday circulated widely on social media after he arrived home in Delaware after a campaign stop in Wisconsin https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2024-07-06/fact-focus-online-reports-falsely-claim-biden-suffered-a-medical-emergency-on-air-force-one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 'Week from hell': Trump shared QAnon, lobbed 'treason' accusations as media dogged Biden https://www.rawstory.com/trump-week-from-hell/ While the beltway media spent the last week haranguing President Joe Biden over his lackluster performance in the CNN presidential debate, former President Donald Trump largely got a pass despite several days of shenanigans that Rolling Stone described as a "week from hell." In a Friday article, Rolling Stone reporters Tom Dickinson and Asawin Suebsaeng summed up how the former president exhibited increasingly unhinged behavior while the press scrutinized Biden's debate mistakes. On his Truth Social platform, Trump posted a meme of him and his wife, Melania, with the text "Where We Go One We Go All" – the slogan of the far-right cult QAnon. The graphic also featured the letter Q, in another nod to the conspiracy theorist movement that Trump is secretly battling a cabal of wealthy elite pedophiles and will one day bring them to justice (also known as "the storm"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know you, so I can't reasonably assess your intelligence, but to mindlessly parrot claims without checking for their accuracy demonstrates an intellectual laziness that frustrates all who always seek to verify whether or not some wild claim is actually true. Blindly accepting the word of someone with a documented history of lies and half-truths (it was Laura Loomer who first made the claim about Biden on Air Force One) is even lazier. Be better; verify before you post. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
