Friends | gintpack: Harris didn't lose the election, The US has lost its mind! We as a nation are fundamentally flawed when the nation preferred an insane, lying, racist, sexist, narcissist felon to an intelligent, well-educated, compassionate, sane opponent is a terribly sad indictment of where American society is at. That said, the dems need to quit trying to be centrist and talk about climate change and pass laws that back the working people in the US.... or this will keep happening and we will lose our democracy. Dems need to address what younger voters are truly worried about. View all 13 posts NNJGal01: Hindsight is always 20/20. Trump is age 78 years old. He shouldn't have run either. As I said before, we need an amendment to cap the age at which someone can run for President. We already have a minimum age. Fair is fair. drmrfantsy in reply to NNJGal01: oh - trump's cognitive decline is also obvious and frankly, scary. i just hold democrats to a higher standard, there are elected republicans on fox and newsmax every night lying through their teeth about anything and everything imaginable. gintpack: Thank you everyone for your comments. I was relaying what I got out of a 2 hour conversation with my 29 year old daughter. She also was thinking about not voting and I expressed the most pertinent ideas that she expressed and her friends had talked about. I talked her into voting along with a couple of her friends. The US has been pulled away from the left and to close to the center was the message I was trying to relay. I love dems that dems, although our opinions are not all the sam, we can have an open discussion.Again, thank you. gintpack: dems economy outperforms repubs for decades, read this---->https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents#:~:text=The%20economy%20grows%20more%20under,9%25%20under%20President%20Donald%20Trump. gintpack: Trump told his nephew that his disabled son should "Just Die". Must read for Trump supporters. If you still vote for Trump, God help you. time.com/7002003/donald-trump-disabled-americans-all-in-the-family/ View all 9 posts gintpack: These are only a few items that should never happen in the US outlined in Trump's project 2025! Trump’s Project 2025 basically will install him as a dictator. Reorganizing the US government pushing power to the president. Heritage Foundation, a conservative-leaning think tank, and 140 former Trump staffers put together Project 2025. Many of those staffers made videos explaining how to implement Project 2025. Trump has acknowledged knowing what’s in it and likes it even though now he claims to know nothing about it. Trump’s name is mentioned 312 times in it. Proof of Trump's Lies About the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025: YouTube YouTube In trumps own words: https://www.msnbc.com/the-beat-with-ari/watch/see-it-video-of-trump-embracing-group-behind-project-2025-214694469923 A few Items in Project 2025: 1.Push power to the president's office making trump a dictator 2. Banning abortion and limiting birth control and vitro fertilization. Allowing states to monitor women's menstrual cycles to watch for abortions. 3. Unraveling the Affordable Care Act and putting back pre-existing conditions like Trump tried in his term in office 4. Say that LGBTQIA+ people do not exist and have any rights as people. 5. Attacks social security benefits 6. Attacks veterans benefits 7. Continuing attacking the educational system because they want a dumb US society! gintpack: What did Trump do in his 1st term that would make anyone want him as president again? The US lost jobs under Trump. I think the only president for that to happen since Hoover. We are NOT better off now than 4 years ago! Trump's economy was tanking in his 3rd year and the bottom dropped out in the 4th! Voting pocket book only? Democratic presidents' economies do better than republicans. Proof: The U.S. economy has performed much better under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents in the modern era. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents#:~:text=The%20economy%20grows%20more%20under,9%25%20under%20President%20Donald%20Trump. Charlotte XC in reply to gintpack: Let's not forget: Losers and suckers Grab them by the pussy Inject bleach An attempt to buy Greenland from Denmark (Greenland was not for sale) Nuke a hurricane Alter an official NOAA hurricane map with a sharpie Attempted murder of his own VP Cancelling the Iran nuclear deal Moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem (a provocative act) Ignoring Putin setting bounties on US troops in Syria Refusing to honor our WW1 fallen warriors because it was raining Cheating on all three wives Sending COVID tests to Putin Accepting a huge "donation" from Egypt in 2017 There's simply too much to list. He represents an existential global threat not just because of his lack of loyalty to America, but also also because he is, quite simply, stupid. View all 4 posts SparklingFun: Just a question because you only post Trump stuff. What do you think of FEMA not having enough funds to help Hurricane Helene victims? That had nothing to do with Trump so curious of your opinion. gintpack in reply to SparklingFun: I know trump claimed that the disaster relief fund in FEMA was low because Biden used it for immigrants but that is false. Congress regulates how much money is in the disaster relief fund not the president. YouTube Biden makes formal plea to Congress for disaster loan funds. https://rollcall.com/2024/10/04/biden-makes-formal-plea-to-congress-for-disaster-loan-funds/ gintpack in reply to SparklingFun: I do hope you and your family and friends are doing ok after Hellene. I have always thought FEMA should do more for folks after what I saw with Katrina and flooding around me a few years ago. They really don't help personal homeowners much.
