    Trump threatened India with retaliation when they said they would not continue exporting Hydroxychloroquine to the US. India was forced to back down.

    He runs public policy like it's one of his failed businesses. Everything is a negotiation, everything is about coming out on top.

    Being a leader of a country is not the same as being the CEO of a company. How has he convinced people that this is how to be president? The same thing about his comments on the postal service -- not everything is meant to be profitable. It's about balance and nuance to do good for the public, not his cronies among the lobbyists. If we ever elect another businessman as a president, I will absolutely go apeshit.

    I quoted the posts and they still won't admit it was them. Said it shows what type of person I AM.

    Ha!

    I would not oppose a businessman who also had significant public sector experience. However, even in that case he should be a successful and lawful businessman, not a failure and a bullshit artist.

    It's not as good a look as you think it is.

    Yeah, I would think that business/military background would actually help...and no, multiple draft deferments and or multiple business loan defaults don't count.

    Right now I'm politely asking people to stop. Just like I asked you just a few days ago to stop arguing in threads. I can easily go from politely asking to just making many of you stop arguing and derailing threads. I would rather not do that because I get tired of hearing how bad the mods are, how unfair, yadda yadda yadda, when all you're being asked to do is to just stop picking, fighting, and derailing good discussions and debates.

    Looks as if not everybody listened, evidently. And if it had been me who had insisted on egging things on after you said to knock it off, there would very likely have been some kind of action taken.

    ....and the people who constantly complain about the moderation here are often the very same ones who need to be throttled.


    ....fwiw, you did not specifically single me out...just sayin'.
