It’s truly mind-boggling to think about the number of voters who could potentially decide the upcoming election and believe that Donald Trump, yes, that Donald Trump, is better for democracy than Biden. The recent polls and conversations that have surfaced paint a concerning picture of the current state of our democracy. The fact that a significant portion of the electorate trusts Trump to handle threats to democracy more than Biden is alarming and raises serious questions about the impact of misinformation and propaganda on our society.
When delving into the reasons behind this perplexing phenomenon, it becomes apparent that propaganda and media manipulation have played a significant role in shaping people’s perceptions.… Continue reading
When I think about the upcoming debate and the fact that Trump’s allies are urging him not to be a ‘raging asshole’, it really makes me question the state of our political landscape. The mere fact that individuals close to him feel the need to remind him to show basic decency and respect during a presidential debate speaks volumes about his character and behavior.
From my perspective, it seems that Trump is so deeply entrenched in his own ego and arrogant ways that he has lost touch with reality. He thrives on being the center of attention and believes that he can do no wrong.… Continue reading
The recent debate between Trump and Biden on CNN was an absolute disaster. The lack of fact checking allowed Trump to spout lies without consequence, while Biden struggled to counter the misinformation. Watching the debate felt like a waste of time, as the moderators failed to hold the candidates accountable for their statements.
It’s appalling that Trump was able to talk about post-birth abortions without being fact-checked. PBS, on the other hand, provided live fact-checking and called out Trump’s lies. The contrast between the two networks was stark, highlighting the importance of holding politicians accountable for their falsehoods.
Biden and the Democrats need to adapt to the reality of facing a candidate like Trump.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news that President Biden has pardoned those who were convicted of gay sex under old military laws, I am filled with a sense of relief and gratitude. It is heartwarming to see that these individuals, who were unjustly punished for being themselves, are finally being granted the opportunity to have their convictions overturned and their benefits reinstated.
It is truly astonishing to think that in this day and age, people could be prosecuted and imprisoned for simply engaging in consensual adult relationships. The fact that so many individuals had their military benefits withheld due to outdated and discriminatory laws is a stark reminder of the injustices that have persisted for far too long.… Continue reading
As I read the news about President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon US service members convicted because they were gay, I was both surprised and relieved. Surprised because I didn’t realize that this was still necessary in today’s society, and relieved because it finally addresses a historic wrong that has plagued the lives of so many individuals. The mass clemency that Biden will be granting to these veterans is a step in the right direction, finally overturning a discriminatory policy that forced around 100,000 people out of the military during the Cold War era.
I couldn’t help but recall a personal experience from 2009 when I sat on a Court Martial for the Air Force.… Continue reading
The recent debate between Trump and Biden shed light on one of the most controversial aspects of Trump’s presidency – his derogatory comments towards military veterans. The moment when Biden confronted Trump with the quote about “suckers and losers” was a pivotal moment in the debate that showcased Trump’s true character. It was disheartening to witness Trump dismiss the comments as fabricated, despite multiple sources, including his former Chief of Staff John Kelly, corroborating the statement. The fact that he resorted to denying his own words, illustrates his lack of accountability and integrity.
Throughout the debate, it was evident that Trump’s strategy revolved around deflecting questions, attacking Biden, and spewing lies.… Continue reading
The idea that Trump is more trusted on democracy than Biden among key swing-state voters is absolutely mind-boggling. How can a man who attempted a self coup and is facing trial for espionage and insurrection be seen as a better option for upholding democracy than the current president? It’s a baffling concept that highlights the ignorance and gullibility of a significant portion of the American population. The fact that people actually believe Trump would accept the results of an election if he lost is laughable, especially considering his actions and rhetoric in the past.
The sad truth is that there are a lot of stupid and racist people in this country who continue to support Trump despite his blatant disregard for democratic norms and principles.… Continue reading
Trump Could Actually Lose Florida. Here’s Why.
If you had asked me a few years ago if I thought Florida could be a battleground state in a presidential election, I would have been skeptical. However, with everything that has happened recently, I believe there is a real possibility that Trump could actually lose Florida.
One of the key factors that could swing Florida in Biden’s favor is the contentious issue of abortion. With abortion on the ballot, it is likely that many voters who may have leaned towards Trump could be swayed to vote for Biden instead. This could potentially tip the scales in Biden’s favor, especially considering that Florida has a large number of registered voters who are not affiliated with a specific political party.… Continue reading
Will Trump chicken out of the presidential debate? Probably. He’s a Grade-A coward. With the upcoming debate looming on the horizon, it’s hard not to speculate on whether Trump will have the guts to face Biden on the national stage. Considering his track record of avoiding accountability and responsibility, the odds of him backing out are quite high. The fear of being exposed as incompetent or unstable seems to be enough to make him cower in the face of a fair fight.
Despite the calls for him to show up and face the music, Trump has a long history of running from difficult situations.… Continue reading
It’s no surprise that recent analysis has shown that Trump left a significantly larger national debt than Biden has accumulated. Despite claims of fiscal responsibility, the Republican Party has a track record of driving up the deficit when in power. Trump, in his single term, added a staggering amount to the national debt, with a significant portion of it going to tax cuts and other initiatives that primarily benefited the wealthy.
The stark difference between Trump and Biden’s impact on the national debt is evident when you exclude COVID relief spending from the tally. Trump’s accumulation of debt far surpasses that of Biden, highlighting the disparity in fiscal policies between the two administrations.… Continue reading
