How could anyone support, let alone, vote for this fool?

[abc3643]

I mean, if he was shitfaced, mmmmmaybe you could forgive this.
But, if he was shitfaced at a political rally to support him, should someone like that really be president?

If you're going to be president, be presidential, not an immature, drunk, frat boy.

As usual, I do NOT accept Anonymous opinions.
Put your money where your mouth is.

Because the Japanese make some pretty good cars. I drive a Honda Civic SI Coup myself. Ford and Chevy don't even make or offer a 2 door Coup, that gets 40 miles to the gallon with manual transmission, with sport suspension. Its a cheap sport car,. but the performance of that civi is amazing, sure it miss the horse power of true sports care... but the handling is amazing with the gas mileage

I hate Fords, I have had some pretty lack luster Fords. More of a GMC or Chevy guy myself.

But Toyota and Honda just makes better cars. But I like Chevy/GMC for trucks. Toyota Tacoma is a good truck though, but that would be the only Japanese truck I would consider. But since Ford, GMC and Chevy brought back the Colorado, Canyon and Ranger... the Tacoma has lost some of its appeal.

[demonics]

He's literally just dancing and having fun. WTF is wrong with you people?

Mind you, MIND YOU, these are the same people, considering your age, who said republicans are so uptight and boring for the past 50 years. You can't win. Someone just sounds a little salty that their 70 year old looks like this.

[KelleyNice]

I don't support him but not because he was dancing as I don't consider that to be relevant. I don't support him because based on his appointees, I don't believe he was much different than what Hillary would have been who I also wouldn't support. They are two peas in a pod. He supported the military action in Afghanistan and Hillary would have too. He attacked Putin and so would Hillary. He didn't pardon Snowden and Hillary wouldn't have either.

[Bratsondanielle]

I don't think he truly got as many votes as they said. Noone would vote for an old fool like that. He only eats ice cream and sniff little girls. ... well and fall up stairs and down bicycles... u are right Biden is a fool

[legalboxers]

That would depend on who the fool in question IS, but it's usually some variation of "the other guy is even worse".

And frankly, given that the role of the President isn't "to look good and be pretty", but "to protect the country and its people from Congress", comportment is a helluva lot less important than nerve.

[abc3643]

Think about what you said: "Protect the people from Congress."

Seriously. Think about that.

[NamerOfStars]

I have- that's why I said it. READ THE CONSTITUTION, man. Half of England's (political) problems stemmed from the lack of checks on Parliament. The US doesn't HAVE those problems, because Congress HAS so many checks.

[abc3643]

I understand the system of checks and balances very well. But the purpose of the president is not to "protect the people from Congress". You know how the people do that? By voting. One purpose of the president is to veto legislation if s/he feels it should be vetoed for whatever reason - and, often, that is not related to "protecting the people". And, of course, we have the SCOTUS to "ensure" (and I put that in quotes because that seems to be a load of shit these days) that legislation is Constitutional and that rights are protected from the President or Congress.

They all have some checks and balances although some need some better checks and a rebalancing.

[NamerOfStars]

Odd timing for that comment, given that the Supreme Court just OVERTURNED an unConstitutional ruling.

And YES, the purpose of the President IS to protect the people from Congress. Why do you think they HAVE veto power? The only thing it could POSSIBLY do is rein in Congressional overreach. You can argue that it's been used badly, and argue that reasonably, but what other purpose could it serve? It's not, as you seem to understand, to protect people from bad legislation.

[abc3643]

This Supreme Court overturned a ruling that past Supreme COURTS have ruled as Constitutional for 50 years.

It's rooted in the 10th Amendment. I know because I spoke with Jane Roe's lawyer in 1992 about how she did it.

Refresher, the 10th Amendment.
===
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
===

Notice that OR?
That's the problem.
THIS Supreme Court's majority does not believe in the OR part.
Thus, if it isn't explicitly enumerated to the people, they are letting it go to the states.
All other Supreme Courts understood that there were personal rights also.

Good luck with this new Supreme Court ruling because it lays the groundwork for blue states to fuck over the rights of conservative citizens everywhere now. For instance, a state could now make eating meat unlawful.

Why would they and how could they?
They would because being a vegetarian is better for the environment and better for health, so, by having a healthier population and environment, the state saves money in healthcare costs.

How could they?
Because Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization just said that you have no rights unless they are enumerated (like in the 2nd Amendment). Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that you have a right to eat meat. And since the state has a legitimate interest in its population not eating meat it withstand even "strict scrutiny".

Good luck living off of Impossible Whoppers.

... Which is why it's more important than ever that the legislature that MAKES those rules IS CHECKED IN THE THE APPLICATION OF ITS POWER. Which is WHAT THE COURT DID. "The government" is not some monolithic entity with its own will. Try *thinking* before you type.

[AviatorTom]

Whether one agrees with it or not, everyone is entitled to their opinion. And the right to voice that opinion is codified in the First Amendment to the US Constitution. For what it's worth, historians have rated all American Presidents, and Donald Trump barely makes the top 5 worst presidents. James Buchanan is the worst per the historians.

[abc3643]

Actually, he is now.

www.c-span.org/presidentsurvey2021/?page=overall

Out of the 44 men who have been President, historians rank him as #41 with the 2 presidents before Lincoln and the 1 after him being lower.

That's sort of scary if you think about it.

The individual metrics they used?

1. Public Persuasion: Trump was 32/44. That's his best ranking and should be expected since bullshitting the public has been something he's been doing for 50 years.

2. Crisis Leadership: Trump was 41/44. He was just below Herbert Hoover who basically created The Great Depression due to his inaction.

3. Economic Management 34/44. Hoover was last, by the way. For Presidents in our lifetime, Ford was just above Trump, Bush 43 just below Trump and Carter two below Bush 43. If Trump handled COVID-19 better, he would have ranked higher.

(more)

[abc3643]

4. Moral Authority: Dead last... by a safe margin.

5. International Relations: 2nd to last

6. Administrative Skills: Dead last... by a safe margin. I can't remember a White House staff that dysfunctional.

7. Relations With Congress: 42/44. He's safe from being last though. Andrew Johnson was last and was the first president to get impeached because of his relationship with Congress.

8. Vision/Setting an Agenda: 36/44. In fairness, his vision/agenda setting would be much higher with far-right conservatives. I think this rating will change possibly for the better as history plays out. Then again, it might get worse since he basically made being a racist OK and that's not a very visionary thing.

9. Pursued Equal Justice: 40/44: That's hard for me to judge, but his de facto racism didn't help. When he could and should have been a leader and spoke up, he said nothing or, worse, inappropriate things like "Very fine people on both sides" in Charlottesville.

10. Performance Within Context of the Times: 42/40
What really spanked him here was his lack of COVID-19 response and fostering racism and the miltant far-right which helped create a slightly less militant far-left.

========
He could have been a good President if he really only wanted to be.

[goaded]

He's ranked 44th, 42nd, 41st, and 43rd (out of 44).

I'm not even going to get into the specifics here.
I say all the time that they really are puppets and controlled oppositions.
Make sure to scroll to all the way down.
At least see this as my creative imagination and have a laugh, if it's funny to you. question

It is common knowledge that President Trump does not drink alcohol because his brother was an alcoholic. He is just having a little fun. He does this so people will see his human side.
Even if he WAS drunk at least he would sober up. With Biden, he is senile and there is no sobering up from that.

[Katie1964]

I think he is just a bad dancer, as am I. I don't support him, but not because of this type of irrelevant stuff.

[69Bruh69]

I don't know either. I'm a liberal with some conservative views, but i've always hated the shit out of him. He's sexist and racist to a whole new level, mentally unstable, and has no political knowledge.

[loveslongnails]

Baffling, isn't it? Even if he could dance, he'd still be a fool and the worst of humanity.

[OddBeMe]

I’d hate to see biden dance. But Trump’s intelligence is in the red.

[Grubhub]

You get no arguments from me. If trump runs in 2024 I’m not gonna vote
