>>good idea

Or maybe just the less of 2 evils. An intelligent asshat or non asshat that was an imbecile. It was time for a change.

There are so many things I don’t like about him but some of his policies such as immigration / border enforcement, natural resource utilization, federal workforce reduction, regulatory reduction and tariffs are absolutely legit imho and will take time to have an affect.

[cevn]

None of those ideas you listed were legit. But it would take much longer to refute than it did to simply list them off

[roamerz]

That’s cool. We obviously don’t agree philosophically and any refutation you could possibly provide would be just like mine - with respect, an opinion.

[skeeter2020]

wait - you agree that those are all issues, or with the executive orders for supposedly "dealing with" them? There is a very big difference.

> An intelligent asshat or non asshat that was an imbecile.

I like your implication that Trump is not an ass hat here instead of the biggest asshole ever elected to office

> There are so many things I don’t like about him but some of his policies such as immigration / border enforcement, natural resource utilization, federal workforce reduction, regulatory reduction and tariffs are absolutely legit imho and will take time to have an affect.

For most administrations yea, since they actually try to keep the government running and use a lighter touch, but since this guy took a sledgehammer to everything we’re already feeling the effects, unless you believe the inflation report that’s missing tons of data produced by people who replaced the leaders that gave him numbers he didn’t like previously

>> biggest asshole ever elected to office

I do agree and more was just trying to moderate my comments.

[lovich]

You didn’t moderate your comments by painting him as the opposite of what he is.

That is called lying

[dpark]

I don’t know how to connect constructively with people who have this viewpoint. Like, no matter how terrible Trump is as a human being, it’s okay because supposedly some of his policies will eventually pay off.

“Look, I know he’s an utter piece of shit who is a known con artist and surrounds himself with sycophants and his policies are demonstrably failing to achieve anything that he claimed, but like, he’s cracking down on immigration and that seems worth unraveling democracy.”

[roamerz]

>>I don’t know how to connect constructively

Yeah we probably never will. The part of him that everyone hates is creating a division in the nation. On the flip side I disagree so much with what the Biden administration did I am willing to accept his faults and will bide my time until Vance and Rubio take office when hopefully the hate will subside and we can start to come together as a country.

[dpark]

The part of him that I hate most is that he’s exposing a huge chunk of the country as being willing to continue to support a man who very clearly cares nothing about democracy or the country except to the extent that it lines his pockets.

> hopefully the hate will subside and we can start to come together as a country

Trump got elected on a platform of divisiveness and hate and he’s continued that playbook since. You can’t support him and then seriously say you want the country to come back together.

[roamerz]

The emotional hate I see is mostly centered around the person and not his policies. I am hopeful yes that once that divisive aspect is gone we can at least have somewhat normal discourse about policies and centrist ideas.

[throwaway-11-1]

Hahahaha amazing. Yeah dude asks anyone, everything is going super well. Really hope you bought a ton of Trump coins or bibles or whatever dumb shit he’s selling these days

[roamerz]

Isn’t that crazy? Absolutely not a good look and an insult to the institution of the office of the Presidency.

[jiggawatts]

$Trump coin!!!

Why is he not in jail right now for the most obviously transparent bribery scheme in the history of US politics!?

Why is nobody screaming about this?

[lateforwork]

He is protected by the most corrupt supreme court in history.

The New York Times has reported extensively on Justice Clarence Thomas’s acceptance of luxury travel, real estate transactions, and other gifts from Texas billionaire and GOP donor Harlan Crow.

A whistleblower complaint filed by Kendal B. Price, a former colleague of Jane Roberts at Major, Lindsey & Africa, revealed that she earned approximately $10.3 million in commissions between 2007 and 2014 for placing lawyers at top firms. [1]

The Times reported that Justice Samuel Alito has faced ethics questions related to his relationship with conservative donors and political allies. Although his 2025 disclosures claimed that he received no gifts during the previous year, prior reporting noted that he had accepted luxury travel and accommodations paid for by wealthy individuals with interests before the Court. He has defended such trips as falling within disclosure exemptions.

Justice Neil Gorsuch was the subject of a New York Times story in late 2024 that addressed his connections to billionaire Philip Anschutz, who helped steer him toward his earlier legal and judicial appointments.

Probably because this is the least of our worries comparatively.

[1659447091]

How is a corrupt administration the least of our worries?
