    screwing people isn’t necessarily illegal. But the evidence is clearly out there. Remember trump university?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...bills-republican-president-laswuits/85297274/

    I wouldn’t think someone who has screwed people over and over again would all of a sudden stop when he gets more power.

    The man is a very corrupt businessman. I don’t know how he was able to get people to believe he wasn’t gonna do the same in politics lol

    okay but most politicians screw people. Hell if its legal most people screw people too.
    Plus many of these claims are not through full discloser of all facts and knowledge so common people come to their own conclusions… based on emotions. Not the facts or lack of.
    At any rate. I answered the OP’s question based on the first election and stand by my post.

    Emotions have nothing to do with trump screwing people over for decades. That’s laughable.

    whats laughable is you thinking the statement screwing someone over isnt an opinion, based on emotions when there is no court verdict on said topic.
    What one person sees as being screwed another may see as simply taking advantage of current legalities.

    No one said that greed is a good thing but if he is guilty of greed, so are 90 percent of politicians and 75 % of Americans.

    If you compared it it would be like weighing a mouse against an elephant.

    What?

    Trump has screwed many people over.

    That's a fact. There is no emotion or opinion in that sentence.

    He screwed the students of his fake University over.

    He screwed the many people and cities he never paid over.

    Etc Etc

    Relabeling it to make it sound better is a confidence game. Don't do that.

    Fact is Trump used power in an attempt to discredit a fair election and used campaign funds to enrich his own pockets. He also promoted racism and cheered for conservative violence. I worked in the military during Nixon’s time and trump is way more corrupt than Nixon. It’s not emotions. It’s simple observations that leads to disgust with the guy. There’s no walking back Trump support at this point. He tried to replace democracy with authoritarian govt

    yesterday two men were declared innocent finally after being imprisoned for the death of Malcom X......if you think the courts are infallible....think again...corrupt politicians buy judges...policemen..etc often....difference here is not since J Edgar Hoover has the DOJ been weaponized by the presidency...what is different with Trump's crew is that they don't want a democracy nor feel the need to follow the constitution or Hatch act...etc....peaceful transfer of power....relationships with our allies..handling of a pandemic...I know for a fact there's enough bad blood around Trump's camp that they cannot be trusted ...Trump wants to be Putin and Kim Jong Un....they just eliminate the competition..he tried to do that when he lost the election...you don't want to die on the Trump hill OB....he's demonstrably shown he's a corrupt egomaniac and liar. And I've lived 68 years without thinking once that 75% of Americans are fueled by greed...I don't believe that at all....I'd say 75% are trying to put food on the table and pay rent or a mortgage. Get their kids teeth fixed.....noow 1% of America is abolutely fueled by greed

    Hilarious that people are still over-analyzing a corny slogan from a previous administration that probably took less than five minutes to come up with and had absolutely zero deep thought or intention behind it.

    I'm sure some said the same about Heil Hitler....what a silly slogan that took less than 5 minutes to come up with....that corny slogan carried AR 15s around and confederate flags...yeah..harmless eh?
    See Jan 6th and tell me how the red maga hat was any different than any uniform that people rally behind with bullying tactics....

    So you’re saying you’ve ignored the news on both sides of the fence these past 6 or so years??? You’ve ignored countless Trump rallies full of people wearing MAGA apparel and waving MAGA flags??? You’ve ignored Trump saying (every chance he has had) MAGA, MAGA, MAGA??? You ignored the insurrection on January 6th??? Now who’s reaching?? You claim to want honesty in political discourse and then you make an utterly inane statement like the one above???? You used to have a fair amount of credibility (at least with me) but you just went over the way over the top. If you really and truly believe what you just wrote, then you either aren’t paying attention or you have become numb to it living where you do. I have absolutely NO doubt that a great deal of thought and discussion went into that classic dog whistle……..

    Before the pussification of America. With 50 genders and everyone having their safe space and being offended by everything. Before victim culture. And so forth and so on.

    Basically before Americans became little bitches.

    There's been only one "safe space" in S2 and it was a pro Trump thread.....I think it was either you, mags or ABM who wanted a segregated thread for lib heckling? Reality TV is the cause of the pussification of America....so much so that they elected the biggest pussy of them all...

    Ya know, what’s really interesting is that no one yet (other than @Chris Craig) has made a serious attempt to offer an opinion of when America was actually “great” or why it is no longer “great”, or what is keeping us from being “great” again, which is why I started this thread. Your broad generalization is a start but doesn’t even make a dent in the questions.

    Trump is the bloated tick burrowed into the ass of the neo-fascist movement that seeks to destroy everything good about this country.
