Hey he ate the most McDonald’s and played the most golf out of any president in history!!! (Even during a pandemic, now that’s talent!)
The worst President in the history of the United States.
Too bad the party they vote for doesn’t align with that at all.
Insurrection? If so, it was the lousiest insurrection in world history. A bunch of nitwits not bringing guns, entering a federal building, breaking a few items, yelling at the ceiling in costume, and posing for pictures in the Speaker's chair represents the most violent, treasonous, coup ever perpetrated.
Then it ended with an unarmed protestor being shot and killed, everyone involved going home, and Biden being inaugurated right on time.
Seriously?

Amazes me that everything Trump did was done to loosen regulations and lower taxes. "Progressives" lost their minds and yet write posts about him wanting to be a dictator.
Not in the least bit. Trump removed federal regulations on businesses and progressives lost their minds over it. Dictators do not remove regulations.
Such as?
You believe that or just trying to troll?

No. As it turned out just about everything that was leaked "from unnamed sources" was a lie done to attempt to discredit the president.
Yes.

Without evidence, Trump accuses Obama administration of treason

Wow. The amount of misinformation and ignorance in this forum is staggering. I’m sorry, America.
Necessitated? Seriously?
trump LYING to the AMERICAN PUBLIC (who he is supposed to serve and protect) regarding COVID19 in early 2020 saying the 15 cases would disappear and soon be zero, while being warned two weeks earlier by his national security advisors in January 2020 that it could be as bad as the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide, including 675,000 Americans, is NOT cool-headed leadership.
It is plain and simple a gross abdication of leadership, and PURE COWARDICE.
Dictators do in fact remove regulatory controls because they are no longer needed. They will remove the entire Constitution, laws, and implement their own as I am the new autocrat in town. The difference, we got rid of the want a be one before the second half could be implemented. Check history on Kings and Dictators. Simple strategy, remove existing everything and build back in ones own image. Need anymore history lesson?Amazes me that everything Trump did was done to loosen regulations and lower taxes. "Progressives" lost their minds and yet write posts about him wanting to be a dictator.

Leaking of classified information is a federal crime (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/form...ed-leaking-classified-information-journalists)
No sane person would want an international law - unless you want dictators like Erdogan and Putin and Jinping calling the shots on privacy - individuals with no accountability to US laws, US constitution and US voters.
(Not in the USA, but the same applies to other democracies to a greater or lesser extent)
Oh - although I detest Trump on a personal level - note this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-about-leakers-obama-quietly-prosecuted-them/
No, The President's oath is not to "serve and protect" - that is the job of the police that people appear to want to defund. The President's oath is to uphold the constitution.
As inept as Trump's handling was (altough he did stop flights from China - but that was apparently just racism),
the idea that Trump's leadership was particularly better or worse than most other Western countries in terms of death rates, economic effects etc - is not borne out by the numbers.
Interestingly it's Cuomo - who got an award from his glib press handling - that appears to be culpable for many of the initial deaths...
I wasn't speaking with respect to his constitutional requirements. Are you saying the President should not serve and protect his/her citizens? And that if he/she chooses not to, that's fine?
Of course, conservatives favour the smallest of all governments;
One guy sitting on a throne who decides everything!
No matter where you sit on the politics of this, I think this story highlights the importance of Apple never having the encryption keys to your most private data.
Whether it’s politicians or leakers or the press, someone is always going to want Apple to give access to private data on any number of people.
If Apple can’t access the data or encryption keys, then there’s nothing to give and our privacy is more secure.

Quote it. And in enough context to not be misleading.
He was also suspicious of his advisors of continually setting him up . (Rightly so with Ukraine BS, amongst others).
Maintaining calm in a unique, highly dynamic situation during Jan 20 was smart so he could act on reliable information. Again, court blocked Trump’s early efforts to seal points of entry. Everything he could had done in the two weeks you are alleging were so critical, would had been politicized resulting in nothing happening. Perhaps if it wasnt for the blind hatred of Trump, the establishment could had worked together to achieve something? But no. Everything had to be a multi-pronged attack.
The constant attempts to oust or Damage trump, even during a global health crisis against a virus that knows no ideology, just ended up damaging the nation. Good job👏
You don’t appear to know what Fascism is.
You sound very much like the fat gun nuts that claim everything is “communism”, when it is anything but that.
Er, Department of Homeland Security was a Bush II creation and the largest ever expansion of the US Government with a huge amount of overreach.
All across the country, Republican State Governments are forcing in new laws banning abortion, banning sex education, banning trans kids from getting medical help and sports and banning business from making their own Covid vaccine decisions.
You were saying?
No, you totally changed the very essence of the statement. That fails the FTFY test.Fixed it for ya
Unfortunately Apple does have the encryption keys to most of your data.
So what can one do about this?
I think he means “smaller” as in local decisions. Which you actually outline quite nicely. While I disagree with many of the laws you outlined, moving the decision to state/local level is satisfying to conservative voices. And it also empowers left-leaning state/local governments to take a strong contrary stand to suit their region’s ideals. Perhaps a far left state can vote for something like paid time off for abortions.
