Donald Trump

Kamala Harries

Neither

[MisterWack]

As a former Trump supporter,

Kamala Harris.

I no longer support Donald J Trump since 2018 because I've opened my eyes to his hateful selfish egotistical rhetoric. 2020 had the worst Pandemic to hit our shores since 1918 and Trump canceled the free masks & free tests for families since "he didn't want to create a panic" which fits this liar & manipulator's words he said to Bob Woodward on audio recording.

Kamala Harris vows to reintroduce a bill Republicans & Democrats came together on to pass through bipartisan negotiations led by President Biden & Republican Majority in the House of Reps. They were set to pass the bill, Donald J. Trump killed it with a phone call. Kamala Harris will sign the bill once it reaches her presidential desk. That bill in question:

Trump Did That 👆

Trump had FOUR YEARS with a Republican Majority in both Congress & Senate (2018) yet Biden only had a slight Congress majority & faced a Split Senate (2021)…. What does Trump have to show for it? Infrastructure?
No.

Before

After

Did Trump pass his “concept of a plan” solution to Obamacare / Affordable Care Act that he promised? No.

He never had a plan.

Did Trump’s wall fix everything as he promised? Did Mexico pay for the wall? Did Trump keep any of his campaign promises to be running on the exact same golden escalator of broken dreams? No.

2020, I was promised Infrastructure & Covid19 Relief (free masks & free tests too) & Student Loan Forgiveness & Bringing Manufacturing Jobs Back To America (Chips And Science Act) & Veteran Benefits (Pact Act) & Inflation Reduction Act & so much more including increasing Environmental Protections (Trump rejected 200+ Environmental Rulings during his time in office including a rule to prevent water pollution & promote clean water).

“Allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” -Trump

Trump Broke His Oath to Preserve, Protect, Defend The Constitution of The United States so help him God & Trump Broke Oath To Faithfully Execute Office of The President... Anyone who sane washes him and anyone who doesn't want to turn the page is someone who refuses to understand their candidate is a sham. I voted Vice President Biden in 2020 and felt good in that decision, I'm voting Madam Vice President Kamala Harris because sometimes the person more fit for the office is a woman to do a man's job. I didn't think Hillary Clinton was good (still do), I believe Kamala Harris IS THE WOMAN RIGHT FOR THE JOB!
I endorse Kamala Harris for President of The United States of America. 🇺🇸

Just wanted to insert some information:
Trump Sworn In With A Big Bold Majority
Senate 2017: 52 Rep to 46 Dem
Congress 2017: 238 Rep to 193

Biden Sworn In With A Weak Slim Majority
Senate 2021: 50/50 split
Congress 2021: 221 Dem to 211 Rep

Really shows how bipartisanship, connections in the legislative body from decades, and having meaningful discussions can impact legislative agenda.

i have no idea how it couldn't be more obvious that Kamala is a horrible idea. Even if you are not well versed in politics, all you have to do is look at how much you are paying for everything, especially groceries.

Please give me more mean tweets in exchange for a better economy, a lower chance of ww3, a possible dramatic reduction of government power over its citizens and hopefully an end to state funded racist and sexist propaganda within our entertainment industry as well as the encouragement to hire based on race and sex.

These industries are filled with white supremacists with guilty consciences, that's why they feel that they must lower standards for women and minorities and have quotas for them. When Trump attempted to fight against that scourge in 2020, I had hope that those scumbags have finally been thwarted.

Inflation is back to normal, the stock market is showing record highs, unemployment record lows for a very long time, giving away Ukraine would be the same as giving Hitler the Sudetenland, Democrats aren't the ones wanting to pass laws restricting your individual rights, Republicans are, while giving massive tax breaks to the already wealthy.

[verknallt]

@goaded When it comes to Ukraine, the Democrats aren't really much better, they are drip-feeding aid, delaying every arms shipment, and putting ridiculous restrictions on every weapon Ukraine gets.

They are just using Ukraine to attrit the Russians; they don't care about Ukrainian land and lives; they just used it as a tool to weaken Russia, and now that Russia has been weakened, the Democrats and their puppets like Scholz in Germany suddenly don't care about Ukraine and are pushing Ukraine to accept a deal where it ceases territory in exchange for security guarantees, but we all know that those guarantees will be betrayed when Russia tries to invade again.

That said, when it comes to Ukraine, both parties suck, but I would go for Republicans because they are at least not full of wokes supporting Hamas and Iran, who have constantly been trying to undermine Israel.

So as far as foreign politics are concerned, Republicans are the best of the worst; seriously, aren't you tired of an American, which has the best military in the world, being ruled by cowards who don't even want to bomb some Stone Age men wearing sandals attacking ships in the Red Sea?

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded Apparently, it's at 2.4% at an average which is close but is still higher than the highest point it has gotten prior to the Biden administration.

"Number go up" does not necessarily the economy is booming.

Unemployment is at record lows because we have illegal immigrants who are willing to work for less than minimum wage and that is a better deal for businesses than hiring American citizens so that's misleading.

Us giving up on Ukraine is not the same thing as giving Putin whatever he wants, telling Putin that he can have Ukraine is giving him what he wants. Ukraine is not our problem and we are spending so much tax money on it and many other foreign affairs to the detriment of American citizens, we are also not even allies with Ukraine.

>Democrats aren't the ones wanting to pass laws restricting your individual rights, Republicans are

Bullshit. John Kerry has stated that the first amendment is a nuisance, Hillary wants people prosecuted for "misinformation" and the Biden administration was the one that put in the misinformation governance board or whatever, a ministry of truth.

They have also constantly tried to wiggle around the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments with smiles on their faces and telling us that it is for our own good.

So piss off with that. You know that is not true.

>while giving massive tax breaks to the already wealthy.

Ok and? Why does it matter who if the billionaires or the government have the money, the same things will get funded regardless. Perhaps you have forgotten that they are on the same team.

[goaded]

"Apparently, it's at 2.4% at an average which is close but is still higher than the highest point it has gotten prior to the Biden administration." Are you kidding? It was over 13% in 1980 and 2.44% in 2018, half way through Trump's term.

"Why does it matter who if the billionaires or the government have the money, the same things will get funded regardless." That's insane! How much do billionaires give away voluntarily? If it's more than they'd be taxed, why don't they just pay taxes?

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded Even still, 2.4 was as bad as it got under Trump. When Biden got in, it immediarely spiked to 7%

Also, it is interesting that you mention 1980 because since about that time, the method of which inflation was calculated has changed.

www.nytimes.com/.../...n-measure-cpi-accuracy.html

Since then economist used rent prices instead of housing and mortgage prices, and they decided to take into account price changes among cheaper products instead of more expensive ones to account for the consumers switching to cheaper alternatives.

>If it's more than they'd be taxed, why don't they just pay taxes?

They already do. The top 1% of earners pay 45.8% of income taxes and The top 50% of earners contributed 97.7% of federal income tax revenue. They are paying enough and don't need anymore. In fact, income tax should be abolished entirely as it was an "emergency measure" that the government used to pay for WW1 and it clearly never left. People deserve to be paid 100% of what they earn.

[goaded]

Every country in the world experienced inflation for a year or two after the pandemic. (And it dipped to 0.11% under Obama, in 2015.)

Income tax was introduced into the US with the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913, which was passed by congress in 1909; nothing to do with WWI. Maybe you're thinking of Britain in 1798 and the French Revolutionary War?

Anyway, of course about 50% of income earners pay almost all the income tax; the median income is roughly where it kicks in. Maybe you could try reducing income inequality instead?

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded That is because they plunged the world into as close to a 1984 hellscape without enough people realizing enough or were too scared shitless of the government to start a rebel, Austrailia was one of the worst with this.

Either way, Trump wanted the country back open by Easter of 2020 but Congress was not having it. I blame Trump for the initial lock-downs but everything past that Easter was entirely the democrat controlled Congress.

The reason income tax started is irrelevant, my point was that it should be completely abolished especially since the government has proven time and time again that they see regular people like you and me as nothing but ants. When the hurricanes struck, they immediately said "Oh no, anyway, send 400 million to Lebanon. What's that? You are a victim of the hurricane? here is 750 bucks that you must go online to apply for even though your house and business has been destroyed and you lost access to the internet. Now scram, Israel isn't going to fund itself."

[goaded]

It was the worst pandemic for a century, but please, do blame people you don't like (even though Trump was president and Republicans had a three vote majority in the Senate at the time).

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded We didn't have to shut the entire planet down and plunge it into an economic disaster for an illness with a near perfect survival rate and you were only in danger if you had comorbidities.

Regardless of whether or not republicans were the majority in either part of congress the democrats were the ones who wanted to keep it going long after Trump left office. There had to be protests all over North America to get them to stop this nonsense.

[goaded]

Yes, we did. Thinking like that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans who didn't have to die.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded The disease has a 99.99 survival rate. The average person would have been fine. It was only an actual danger to the morbidly obese and the elderly. I had it twice and it felt like the flu and I wasn't exactly at a necessarily healthy weight either.

[goaded]

A "99.99[%] survival rate" would have meant 33,000 American fatalities.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded Yes, provided that every American got afflicted and none of them have comorbidities. Sadly, the US has a massive obesity problem and that puts them at a greater risk.

Even still, we have done more damage to our infrastructure with the lock-downs than the virus wishes it would. Even with the two weeks to slow the spread alone was enough to make a massive financial dent in the food business because food doesn't wait for a pandemic to be over to spoil.

If it wasn't for the people in North America standing up to their governments when they did, we would STILL be wearing masks and standing six feet apart. Just out of curiosity, do you wear a mask anymore?

[goaded]

Food never stopped moving. Don't you remember when the poorest paid suddenly found themselves to be "essential workers"?

I occasionally still wear a mask, if I have to be in a crowded place with bad cold symptoms, minor discomfort is a small price to pay to avoid infecting someone who might die, but the disease is now endemic and everyone is vaccinated, so there's little point any more. It's the nutcases who refused to wear masks before anyone was protected who are the worst.

One of those "co-morbidities" was "being old". There's no cure for that.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded Every worker is essential. They rely on the work that they do to not only keep themselves afloat, but it keeps the economy going.

Do you not cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze? For some reason, that was enough for us before covid came along and the government started scaring the shit out of people over it.

Yes being old has no cure, but there is a cure for being morbidly obese. Diet and exercise, but wait... that is fatphobia.

[Anonymous]

Trump asked us not to vote for the oldest candidate in history. That's him. I will respect his wishes.

Not trump. We cannot have another grumpy old man in office again
