Purely Politics

Sounds to me like trump's hire feels differently when he tells us "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work." Thanks for the platitudes about equal outcomes Tom, but how do you feel about this man's remarks made just 6 short months ago? What about competent black men, or competent women or competent Asians or competent gays or competent lesbians or competent Latino's? Or, is there no such thing in your world?

Do you agree only competent white men should be in charge for things to work? Wonder how your God would feel about those remarks J?

You see gang, this is the crap that you will be seeing, hearing and reading for the next 4 years. Hires clowns and the outcome is inevitably a circus.

Still waiting for your thoughts about that danged Zelensky starting that war with Russia. What fool would ever utter such a nonsensical remark as that? I mean really?

 

Sore looser is not a good look on you. I don't take responsibility for someone else's words especially when I don't know who he is. My God is good how about yours.
And can't people change B? Aren't you the poster child for turning your life around?

MAGA/MAHA

 

It was . . . . ..... amusing to have French president Macron correcting Trump, fact checking if you will, during their recent news conference.

 

Retracted. In reversal, Trump says Russia attacked Ukraine

Now your take on these? Fact check: Biden makes false claims about Israel, immigration and his administration’s spending | CNN Politics

1988 Road to the White House with Sen. Biden

 

Intersectionality? What is that another made up name by the Republicans? BTW Jim Crow is on the phone and would like to speak to you. Something about make America safe for white people.

 

Don’t know about you CT, but watching Trump getting his butt kicked for his twisted history and just plain ignorance was worth the price of admission. Merci Macron, Merci.

 

You said you were smart.

What is it about the word meritocracy you didn't understand?
Like I said Bill, I believe in merit based opportunity period. I don't care about anything else. If you are among the most qualified person for the job you need to be considered.

I believe Russia started the war by invading the Ukraine, however, without getting into a pissing contest with you, all I'll add is that the feckless Biden administration pretty much gave Russia the green light after his pitiful withdrawal from Afghanistan.

 

Guess you have to make the most of one little mistake. Sad that's all you have. Hear about the Ukraine deal yet? Or the Tim Cook deal? No? Too bad.

 

Actually, it's those Democrat DEI hires. It works like this...

If you're a white man you get 1 point.
If you're a woman, you also get an additional 1 point
If you're a Black woman, you get an additional 1 point
If you're a Lesbian Black woman, you get still another 1 point

The one with the most points wins!

That's how Karine Jean-Pierre became the White House Press Secretary!

 

Why is it that trump supporters are incapable of just saying this is wrong? "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work." It isn't that hard, really. Even the most basic human being walking upright, should have the capacity to say this is just plain wrong. Instead we are fed some smarmy crap about "meritocracy."

And then the next fail safe is to go back and blame Biden. Clue to all of you hiding behind Joe's 4 years in office; he's gone, you own it all. Every price increase, every closed business, every stock market crash, it's all yours now...just own it. That's how it works for the grown ups in the room, quit hiding behind sleepy Joe, Hunter's laptop and all those dreaded DEI hires.

That was yesterday's news. Today's is the shit storm of trump supporters working for the federal government living in red states that Leon fired. Today is record egg prices...twice as high as 4 months ago. Today is wholly unqualified trump appointees who may have made great TV anchors on second rate news programs that are in over their head. Today is failed democrats now heading up agency's they are clueless over (you go Tulsi and RFK). I could go on, why bother?

It's your baby, live it, own it wear proudly until you feel the pain inflicted by the cuts in programs seniors and others depended on to get by. I'll make you a little wager Tom: The House tax bill (you know the big beautiful one trump loves) is advancing and while he promised us seniors he would not tax our social security once in office, i'll bet you that one doesn't make the final cut, but the much needed tax relief for the Billionaires will. How about it Bro, you in on that bet?

For my nickle, i said it before the election, i will repeat it after the election: My joy, my sanity and my gratitude has absolutely nothing to do with who's butt sits behind the Resolute desk in the White House. I am eternally grateful for finding Sun City...my/our place in the sun where i/we celebrate every day just how good life is behind these white walls. While some will never find their happy place (sad for them), life could not get any better than it is here (if you let it).

Been interesting sharing this ugly nasty thread, but it's a downer. As a glass half full kind of guy, i have no interest in participating further in your misery.

I'll choose Joy and Happiness every time.

 

Is that why Trump hired Kash Patel? And a slew of women? And gay people? What would you prefer a cabinet full of Sam Brinton's? We don't feel that way B. You want us to. Relook at your posts during the election. Your whole Kamala premise was JOY BABY JOY, caps, large font, over and over.

 

Apparently "meritocracy" is too big a word for Bill to understand.

If he doesn't believe in a merit based society, I guess he's all in on DEI.

 

It seems to me that to these days hte term "merit" is just another for "willing to take the Trump oath of allegiance." And as far as continuing to knock Biden goes, fine, go for it. Pointing out his lies and/or
incompetence does nothing to hide Trump's. It's just the right's fumbling attempt at misdirection.

Trump has been in office for a little over a month. Give him a chance, or can't you because you hate him so much. Ya know for someone who has been involved in the "self governance" of Sun City for over 15 years one would think you would a little more patient. After all as Tom said here we are back in 2021. One step forward, two steps back. The proof is in the member meeting.

 

Kash Patel is incompetent for the job. Actually he is a DEI hire by Trump, no? Trump hired gay people? When and who? White women, like Karoline Leavitt who no longer has a honeymoon with the press. She is getting eaten alive. Another DEI hire. Best thing going for her at the moment is, according to my research, not related to the other Leavitts.

 

That would be Rick Grenell former Ambassador of Germany, former Director of National Intelligence, currently serving as Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions.

The only people getting eaten up alive are the White House Correspondents who work for the mainstream media networks, and Karoline is doing an excellent job!

It's quite clear that unless you are the one personally placing or recommending people be put in certain positions, nobody else is good enough! It must be hard fitting that big head of yours thru the doorway?

You truly are a legend in your own mind! And it's the same mind that has been infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome!

MAGA!

 

Trump names the first openly gay person to a cabinet-level position – The Hill

 

I thought you meant flaming gay people.

 

Yes, any time the mainstream media asks a question that would bring out the truth and potentially embarrass the VP Trump, they are banned or some sort of retribution. Tom, you really need to read the history of Germany from 1920 to 1945 to see how a country gets sucked into voting for and being sucked into a fascist dictator as a leader. That is what’s happening now and if you wait any longer it will probably be too late.
The MAGA followers are the new Brownshirts and they are just getting warmed up. President Musk is forming a government that is composed of lemming loyalists. Trump wants to take over the Fed and basically the whole banking system. He and his 26 year old mouthpiece a Goebells wannabe are working on the media so we should have the Ministry of Truth at some point. A few of the spineless Congressional reps are laying groundwork for a third term, but Trump wants the position for life, he said it during his first term.
This is the future I see. History always repeats itself and sometimes is funny but not this time.

You are part of the solution or you are part of the landscape.
