Why Trump and the GOP Love the Poorly Educated:
[URL]https://m.youtube.com/shorts[/URL]
Yes Trump loves the poorly educated, the educated and all American citizens. It is people like you and the democrats who think they are elitists and look down on hard working people. That is why the democrats lost the last election. That is why more blacks and more Hispanics voted for Trump because he does love the poorly educated. Democrats on the other hand think these poorly educated illegals are worthless and are perfect to hire cheaply to mow their grass, clean their houses and pick their fruit. You must be so proud!
[QUOTE=Tiny12;3068198]Dagnabit Canada, I did my best and I still came up short.[/QUOTE]Since neither you nor a team of MAGAs across the USA and Canada has ever been able to come up with one single program or legislation now revered and appreciated by the majority of the American people for its proven record for making America a better place to live, improve American lives, create historic numbers of jobs, raise the standard of living for most Americans and so on that was proposed by, fought for and passed by Repubs when they occupied the White House and held the Majority in the House and Senate even remotely equal to the dozen or more such programs and legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by Dems when they controlled all of it, I'll make it much, much easier for you by making it even simpler for even a deadbeat Repub to tackle.
And in this case it plays right into your apparent pro Repub pretend "bothsider / neithersider" source of MAGA Magical Power. One you have returned to over and over again for what you must think is the be all, end all proof that your nit-picky, cherry-picking assessment of Dem vs Repub results is so much better informed than mine.
Here it is, for you and all similar-minded MAGAs; [B]Name the program or legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by your beloved Repub Nude Grinbitch that you have repeatedly claimed was key or in any way instrumental to Dem Bill Clinton and his 1993 and 1994 Dem-controlled House and Senate producing and presiding over the great recovery from the 12 previous disastrous Repub Administrans' results and directly into one of the greatest economic and jobs creating administrations in USA History.[/B].
Bear in mind these parameters; Dem Bill Clinton ran in 1992 on "reforming welfare as we know it", 3 years before Grinbitch had a thing to say about it. Clinton agreed with many of the things Grinbitch came up with because he came up with them first and ran for president on them. And whatever it was that Grinbitch wanted but Clinton didn't want, Grinbitch went to war over it, shut down the government, lost that war and Clinton's ideas prevailed.
Therefore, "welfare reform" isn't one of them.
The reduction in the Capital Gains Tax from 28% to 20%? Really? Comparing that to what on the list of Dem accomplishments? That didn't even happen until 1997/1998. By then the historic Dem Clinton Administration economic gains and success era was already 5 years old, having started a few months after his and his Dem Congress' Omnibus Budget Reconsiliation Act of 1993 was proposed by, fought for and passed by Dems without a single Repub vote! And, naturally, what followed a couple of years later were the budget surpluses that the next lazy, know nothing, do nothing deadbeat Repub could only think to give away to the wealthiest Americans in hopes of making them wealthier.
The Great Dem / Clinton jobs creation, boomtimes and budget surpluses of the 1990's obviously would have been even greater without Repub Nude Grinbitch and his fellow know nothing, do nothing deadbeat Repubs contributing nothing but dead weight, excess baggage, expensive and wasteful government shutdowns and an unnecessarily more detailed awareness of exactly what Bill Clinton's dick and balls were doing with consenting adult sexually aggressive females than any normal person needed or wanted.
Ok. Your turn. Tell us all about the wonderful programs and legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by Nude Grinbitch, your favorite go-to example for how and why Repub Congresses are really the secret behind consistent Dem economic success vs Repub economic disaster for the past 100 years.

I'm sure you can't think of a single program or legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by Repubs when they occupied the White House and held the Majority in the House and the Senate that actually helped and improved the lives of most Americans equal to, say, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, The Affordable Care Act, The American Rescue Plan Act, The Inflation Reduction Act, etc etc etc that Dems accomplished when they controlled all of it either, right?
Don't feel bad about that. Native-born USA Citizens who lived in the USA all their lives can't come up with a single one either no matter how much time they've had to research it.

In Mexico or Brazil, when I studied it, you could buy a converter and power you car on natural gas. The cost was only $800 back then in Mexico or Brazil but was $10,000 in the USA because of government regulations.
So in my dream scenario, I would have a RV that used natural gas, and in Texas, they pay you to fill up with natural gas.
And fuck individual solar panels to charge your batteries. You can charge them for free in Texas on the nights and weekends. [URL]https://cleanskyenergy.com/blog/how-free-nights-and-weekends-electricity-plans-work-in-texas/[/URL]

But, but, but Texas is MAGA country. That should show everyone when it comes to energy Republicans are the smart ones.
Only a dumb Dem like you would cite California and Australia as shining examples of great energy policy. That you are constantly blabbering about cheaper energy and glorify those two places shows you do not know what you are talking about.

That, of course, is a blatant, easily debunked, bald-faced, poorly educated-loving Trump lie. Trump himself twice confirmed Iran was in compliance with the Iran Nuclear Deal, where Iran already stated explicitly and in writing that they would never have a nuclear weapon, before Trump tore it up, defunded and removed the inspectors and allowed Iran to do anything it pleased unmonitored for the next nine years. An explicit agreement that Trump is supposedly begging Iran for now when it is highly doubtful anyone in the Trump Administration will ever get one from Iran.

Maybe he'll demonstrate his love for the poor and poorly educated by getting Iran to agree in writing to only bomb wealthy and highly educated Americans when his crap negotiations fail miserably to even match the brilliant Obama / Kerry-negotiated agreement he tore up.

Now, as long as you are making stuff up with every post, why haven't you at least given a shot at making something up about so much as a single program or legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by Repubs when they occupied the White House and the Majority in the House and Senate that remotely came close to benefitting the poor, poorly educated, black people, Latinos, etc that you claim Trump loves so much but Dems don't as any one of the dozen-plus that Dems have under those same circumstances for their Party right up to and including as recently as 4 years ago?
You know, something like, "Trump and his Repub Majority in the House and Senate just gave a free pony to every child of a poor or poorly educated family as a Big Beautiful follow up to the 45% discount tickets for every Kid Rock concert they gave them back in 2019"!
Oh, and for my Nude Grinbitch challenge, how about something like, "Everybody remembers when Nude Grinbitch and his Repub Congressional Majority for a few years under Clinton demanded and sent a Big Beautiful scratch and sniff photo of Clinton's dick and balls to every poor and poorly educated Repub in every Repub gerrymandered district in the country so they could enjoy the same rewards all of their efforts and hard work during those years produced and were gifted to them"!
That would be fun. We all know you can do it.
BTW, since you read every word of every post I make here, you must remember when I mentioned recently that there was one issue cited by the demonstrably Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics polling cite for which Trump had yet to rate greater than 50% Disapproval on their poll of polls for such things, right? That issue was Crime.
Well, good news! Now the poor, the poorly educated, the well educated, middle income and top income brackets, black people, Latinos, probably many former MAGAs and damn near everyone in the USA has given Trump 2.0 a chance to impress and impress it has such that today Trump is earning greater than 50% Disapproval on every issue the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP deems worth asking anyone and everyone about, including Crime!

That makes as much sense as my satirical claim that Lyndon Johnson escalated the Vietnam War because he was bloodthirsty and wanted to increase taxes and the size of government. In other words, it's complete baloney.
Trump did it because he thought it would help the workingman and American manufacturers. That thought was a carryover from his days as a Democrat. For my entire adult life up until the election of Trump, Democrats were more inclined to support tariffs and Republicans free trade. That was because labor unions were a core constituency of the Democratic Party. Clinton was an exception, but he had to drag his party kicking and screaming to approve NAFTA and China's accession to the WTO. (Aside: That's probably why the Marquesa hates Clinton almost as much as he hates me.) In fact, a majority of Congressional Democrats voted against both.
Yeah, I think Trump's tariffs for the most part were stupid. But they maybe shaved 3/4 of one percent off of GDP. That's not as bad as sending 1.4 million young men and women to Vietnam and having 37,500 of them come back in body bags. Trump and LBJ though had good intentions. Their problem was bad judgement.
Did Biden get rid of Trump's tariffs on toys, clothes, consumer electronics and the like, which only served to raise prices for the workingman, when he came to office? No he did not. Did Obama or Biden encourage manufacturing and mining of products that are essential to American strategic interest like rare earth minerals and magnets and oil and gas, through tariffs, deregulation, or otherwise? For the most part they did not. Yeah, Trump fucked up. But so did Democrats.
The rest of your post contains lots more baloney, which we've rebutted many times in the past. I think I will come back and take another whack at the nonsense about all the great legislation passed by Democrats. No time tonight though.

This makes much, much more sense than any utterly unsupportable claim that Trump "means well" and is genuinely trying to improve the USA economy and the lives of ordinary Americans rather than make himself, his Crime Family and his Globalist Billionaire buddies wealther through every conceivable scam possible.
A. I. Overview:
[QUOTE][b]The evidence that Trump is a sadist and enjoys torturing the vulnerable[/b]
+14
Public and professional scrutiny regarding Donald Trumps behavior has led multiple mental health experts, political commentators, and critics to argue that he exhibits traits of malignant narcissisma psychological profile that includes[b] sadism, ant****ial behavior, and paranoia.[/b]
While critics interpret specific public actions as evidence of cruelty, his supporters often view these same behaviors as unfiltered political incorrectness, a rejection of politeness, or retaliatory counter-punching against adversaries.
[B]The arguments surrounding this topic generally focus on specific public incidents, policy decisions, and professional psychological evaluations.[/b]
1. Public Mimicry and Rhetoric. Critics frequently cite Trumps public mockery of vulnerable or injured individuals as direct evidence of a lack of empathy and a desire to humiliate others:Mocking a Disabled Reporter: At a 2015 campaign rally, Trump physically imitated New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis. Trump waved his arms erratically and changed his voice to mimic Kovaleski. Trump later denied he was mocking Kovaleski's disability, claiming he was simply portraying a flustered reporter.Targeting John McCain: Trump repeatedly mocked the late Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war who sustained permanent injuries from torture. During a 2024 campaign event, Trump explicitly imitated McCain's physical inability to lift his arm fully.Public Humiliation as a Strategy: Commentators note that Trump heavily incorporates personal insults, bullying language, and threats into his public discourse to demean women, political opponents, and members of his own staff.
2. Professional Psychological Assessments. Because the American Psychological Associations "Goldwater Rule" discourages diagnosing public figures from afar, official medical consensus does not exist.[b] However, numerous independent mental health professionals have publicly analyzed his behavior:The "Duty to Warn" Movement: A coalition of thousands of mental health professionals published assessments arguing that Trump poses a danger due to underlying psychological instability. [/B]Malignant Narcissism Assertions: Psychologists like Dr. John Gartner have argued that Trump displays the classic quartet of malignant narcissism: [b]narcissism, paranoia, ant****ial behavior, and sadism. [/b]Gartner and other analysts contend that Trump derives a visible sense of power and psychological gratification ("narcissistic supply") from causing distress, scaring audiences, or taking revenge.
Voter Perceptions: A study published in Clinical Psychological Science found that both liberal and conservative voters[b]including some who voted for himperceived Trump as scoring abnormally high in traits associated with sadistic and narcissistic personality disorders.[/b]
3. Policy Directions and Views on Interrogation. Critics and human rights organizations point to specific administrative actions and stated viewpoints as systemic evidence of an[b] indifference to human suffering:[/b] Endorsement of Interrogation Tactics: During his political career, [b]Trump has vocally supported the use of waterboarding and other severe interrogation methods, asserting that "torture works". He subsequently appointed officials, such as Gina Haspel to head the CIA, who had past involvement with post-9/11 "black site" interrogation programs.[/b] Immigration Policies: Legal and human rights advocates have labeled policies like the 2018 family separation policy at the southern U.S. border as inherently cruel, arguing that the resulting trauma inflicted on migrant children was used deliberately as a deterrent.Domestic Cuts: [b]Political opponents have occasionally characterized conservative efforts to scale back nutrition assistance programs (like SNAP) or healthcare access as "sadistic," viewing them as policy decisions that knowingly harm low-income families and children.[/b]
The Counter-Perspective. Supporters and defenders strongly reject the label of sadism. They maintain that Trumps aggressive style is a calculated form of entertainment and political showmanship meant to challenge establishment norms. From this perspective, his insults are not meant to torture the helpless, but are rather a defensive or strategic "counter-punch" against media figures, political institutions, and elites who attack him first.

Of course, that supposed "Counter-Perspective" is laughable. None of that aggressive style has produced any different result over the 5 1/2 years of Trump's miserable presidency than if he had flat out worn a hood and cranked up the rack for America, the American people and everyone else in the World except his Billionaire brothers and sisters in grift.
Yep. Few economic results would make Trump happier than for middle and low income Americans to take the biggest hit in carrying the load with across-the-board tariffs to pay back his record high debt and deficits rather than a progressive income tax system while he and his Billionaire buddies kick back and not even notice an additional 25% - 50% or, what the hell why not make it a 100%, increase in the price of goods.
Oh, BTW, in case anyone is so blitheringly ignorant about how big business works in a complex national and global economy not to understand why Biden wouldn't immediately remove all the tariffs Trump imposed on American businesses and consumers in his first term; uh. It turns out whip-sawing prices on businesses from one moment to the next is precisely the wrong thing to do even if a tariff on this or that product is stupid. After a tariff has been imposed on a product it can alter the entire manufacturing, shipping, wholesale / retail and even the compensation factors for the people who sell it. Unless it is immediately destroying the particular industry it is best to let those things play out in the marketplace rather than whip-saw the entire supply-chain into utter confusion by removing them on a whim.
Of course, the latter is exactly what Trump has done with his tariffs; created utter confusion and economic paralysis in the supply-chains with one whip-saw after another on all the factors every time he farts. Which is apparently quite often these days.

The people paying the protesters do not offer benefits. All the lazy democrats who refuse to work that are receiving welfare and government handouts aren't happy with Trump economy. But millions of retired Americans living on a fixed income are very happy seeing their fixed income going up 10-20%. Don't worry about USA being a democracy. Trump has saved us from Biden fiasco. I don't agree with about 25% of what Trump does but USA is 100% better than the Biden years.
[QUOTE=EihTooms;3068377]Did you see the links to Real News sources I posted that soundly and roundly refute your utterly unsubstantiated and easily debunked opinions? Er. I mean your America-hating lies?
Now, as long as you are making stuff up with every post, why haven't you at least given a shot at making something up about so much as a single program or legislation proposed by, fought for and passed by Repubs when they occupied the White House and the Majority in the House and Senate that remotely came close to benefitting the poor, poorly educated, black people, Latinos, etc that you claim Trump loves so much but Dems don't as any one of the dozen-plus that Dems have under those same circumstances for their Party right up to and including as recently as 4 years ago?
You know, something like, "Trump and his Repub Majority in the House and Senate just gave a free pony to every child of a poor or poorly educated family as a Big Beautiful follow up to the 45% discount tickets for every Kid Rock concert they gave them back in 2019"![/QUOTE]I don't need fake news links on my posts. If the person reading the posts isn't smart enough to research it on his own I don't care. Nobody even looks at your fake links. They know if you posted it that it was irrelevant. So please stop providing those links. If you have an opinion say it. It may be right or wrong but at least the smart people can do their own study on it. USA has recovered from the Biden destruction of America nicely. America still has a ways to go but it finally is on the right track.
