General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

That's because this "Blue" President ACTUALLY has the welfare of ALL people as one of his priorities. He does not see only one color when disaster and potential loss of life strikes. He IMMEDIATELY responds as any honorable and compassionate person would that had it in their power to do so.



Mike said...

I'm sure Desantis will find some way to politicize this in his favor.

skudrunner said...

Les, I don't even think you believe your statement. He has yet to acknowledge the crisis, issue, stampede, million man crossing at the southern border. He has yet to acknowledge the deaths from heat, drownings and drug abuse at the southern border. He has yet to offer any assistance to the cities impacted with the crossers both in the south and the cities from those voluntarily transported north.

I will admit that he is great of giving away your money which is all he has accomplished in two years. I don't know if there will be a massive red tidal wave or just a red wave but we sure need it. I am surprised biden did have the entire military present for his hate speech before the red wall like adolph did but maybe next time. You may like paying form a rich kids education but I will assume someone who works for a living doesn't. Have fun on your trip.

This is what we used to call a president doing his job. But now we know, from our conservative friends, it is just Biden trying to buy votes by giving stuff away to people.

FEMA is not in the Constitution, nor is hurricane aid, emergency help from the feds during a natural disaster, low interest loans or straight up grants to rebuild.

But you will not hear a single conservative voice, no Mark Levin, no Tucker Carlson, no FOX News lovers calling the people that take this federal aid, leeches. They will not be called drags on society and they will not be called Mitt Romney's takers. And they will most certainly not be called unAmerican socialists.

And why not?

Because these so-called "originist Constitution lovers" only invoke those words and descriptions when people of color, poor ppl, libtards or "outsiders" seek to get help from the feds.

Democrats are about making things better for everybody. Republicans believe everybody is out for themselves.

Dave Miller said...

Skud... Biden's policies regarding the border may indeed not be working. But that is not because of a plan to screw, ignore or purposely disadvantage certain people or classes of people.

The same, as was implied in RN's comment, cannot be said for Trump who numerous times stated he only wanted to help red states and his supporters.

Let me know if you can find anywhere where Biden has said as president he only wants to help, or the only ppl he should help are his supporters.

It’s ironic how many people with “F**k Joe Biden” signs on their yards will gladly accept his help in the coming weeks.

Ray Cranston said...

Hey skud, did someone piss in your cornflakes this morning? Your comment is nasty and full of Fox lies. Can't you find it somewhere in what's supposed to be your humanity to acknowledge Bidens decency as opposed to the orange disaster who made a mess of America?

You have nothing good to say about Biden. My granny once said if you have nothing good to say, then keep yer trap shut.

I think I remember you said you liked Tulsi Gabbard. Y'know, the traitor who supports Putin and his murdering army. You sure like the good ones, ole skud. It says a lot about your "values."

Just in case you missed it skud, heres your girl...

Russia state TV calls Gabbard ‘our friend Tulsi’ as Tucker Carlson interview aired

Russian state TV has continued to air Fox News clips that align with Vladimir Putin’s spin on the invasion of Ukraine, most recently showing a Tucker Carlson interview with former Democratic US Representative Tulsi Gabbard, whom the Russian host introduced as “our friend”.

Now ole skud, who wouldn't want to support someone who supports Putie's murderous war in Ukraine killing babies, old people and sick people in hospitals? I'll tell ya who, DECENT people would never support that killer, but Tulsi sure likes his ass.

And she's your pick for vp on the red ticket? Makes sense.

skudrunner said...

Rev and Ray, Biden has stated that all republicans are horrible people before his people walked that back to only include a some. The elections are about how biden is governing but you still focus on trump instead of on the current administration and their inadequacies.

It was biden's decision to abandon Afghanistan without a plan, resulting in countless deaths of both Americans and Afgans, that gave putin the leeway to invade the Ukraine. I was biden's idea to not enforce securing the border resulting in countless deaths and of crossers. It was biden who remained silent on crime and defund the police until his people walked it back. It was biden's, and falsi's decision to lock the country down and cause a shortage of everything because remember inflation is the result of money given away and supply and demand. It was biden's decision to make the working people pay for the privileged kids education and it was biden's decision to make us energy dependent on terrorist countries. It was the democrats and leftist media who seldom mentioned the border until a few hundred were shipped north then it is horrific, not for the border cities but the cities who can't cope.

I am trying to come up with something he has done for the working American but it is difficult.

skud: "Rev and Ray, Biden has stated that all republicans are horrible people before his people walked that back to only include a some."

Please find me the quote where Pres. Biden said all republicans are horrible people.

The rest of your rant is mostly lies. Sorry. But those are lies.

The Senate just passed a resolution to prevent a government shutdown. Every single 'No' vote was a Republican.

The GOP hates America.

Les Carpenter said...

The GOP, now the TPB (Trumpublican Pile of Bulls*it) truly does not give an iota of thought to anything. No plan. No platform. No clue. Except prop up the Big Lie and be to sure to NEVER EVER speak the truth about Trump and the truly destructive force the SOB really is.

There is only a handful of elected GOP reps and no GOP senators that deserve respect IMO. If the party survives and remains at it now is don't be surprised when this nation no longer represents the ideals and principals of a democratic republic.

This nation is growing sicker by the day. Thanks to one party's embrace of fascism. The GOP.

skudrunner said...

So the threats we face from the from the republicans are not condemnation of the republican party.
As you know there are few MAGA republicans but he attacked republicans. He actually said there are far more Americans who reject extreme MAMA ideals so your position that trump is in charge is false by his own speech.

About the remainder of my post, where is the falsehoods and lies. He didn't pull out of Afghanistan without a plan, he mentioned the horrific conditions at the border, he spoke out against defunding the police, he didn't lock down the country promoting low supplies causing inflation which punishes everyone except his rich supporters and of course he is not rewarding the privileged by passing on college tuition bills to everyone even if they chose to work instead of go to college.

You must be right and I have the wrong facts. I guess he said he doesn't supports the green new deal while a candidate.

Shaw, I went to the Library in response to skud's fearmongering and found the following gems.

Immigration Reform has been on the Democratic Parties agenda for years and every time a bill is brought up for debate there is one party who throws the mother of all tantrum and acts like toddlers instead of grown adults. No guesses on this - it's the GOP who refuse to govern. Hard to improve a situation when only one party is at the table in good faith.

Apparently the fact that there are income limits for Student Loan relief has skipped the MAGA news channels. The stories I've read of humans released from a loan they've paid on for years and yet owe more than the loan was originally worth have hit me in the feels. In my opinion, Biden did a good thing for the American public.

Inflation is a complicated issue compounded by a global pandemic and now a war. I found the following to be useful.

From investopedia - Inflation occurs when prices rise in an economy and/or the purchasing power of money loses value. Economists have identified several possible causes for inflation from rising wages to increased aggregate demand to an increase in the supply of money.

From wikipedia to answer what is causing inflation in 2022? - In early 2021, a worldwide increase in inflation began to occur. It has been attributed to various causes, including pandemic-related fiscal and monetary stimulus, supply shortages (including chip and energy shortages), price gouging, and as of 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Biden Admin passed The Inflation Reduction Act. Per the White House fact sheet: The Inflation Reduction Act makes urgent investments to lower prescription drug costs, health care costs, and energy costs to create opportunities for America's 33 million small businesses and innovative startups.... It will help the Fed tackle inflation by reducing the deficit. ....no small business or family making under $400,000 per year will pay a penny more in taxes.

I'm not 100% sure about the penny more but I remember the negotiating process. Each Act the Biden Admin wanted to pass had to pay for itself, which is why the White House is making the claims it does. What I've posted here isn't even half of what is in the Act. It's not the latest novel from my favorite goth vampire author but it's compelling reading.

Trump negotiated the Afghanistan withdrawal (and questions are asked on the interwebz about the take down the Taliban did to the Afghan military, almost as if the Taliban knew exactly where the weak points and easy access channels were located. Weird, huh?)

Trump decided he didn't need to address a pandemic that would go on to kill more than a million Americans resulting in, yes, lock downs because how else does one assert control over a virus which is running rampant through out the globe? (Narrators voice - there isn't a better way).

All of my answers are easily found on the web. All of my replies have facts, not perception, backing them up (in reference to one of my previous comments on another post about light and perception: facts are neither a rectangle nor a circle, facts are cylindrical.)

Although most of my comment is in response to skud, I carefully removed my personal feelings about someone who has repeatedly been provided truths only for those gems to be spat upon and trampled beneath their feet.

My parting comment to you skud about Biden speaking the facts about MAGA Republicans is to remind you he only slammed the MAGA Republicans as fascist, not all Republicans. Many humans wiser than myself responded that if anyone is upset with Biden's words than maybe the issue isn't with him (Biden) but with the person doing the hollering (that would be you skud). Something to think about.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Thank you Grey One talks sass. I didn't have the energy to respond to skudrunner's comment, which, BTW, was NOT backed up by any evidence -- his comments are purely his OPINIONS, not FACTS.

You presented evidence, which skud ALWAYS ignores and continues on with his litany of right-wing talking points that have zero basis in facts.

skud detests Biden, and he detested Obama. Need I say more?

Dave Dubya said...

Skud is upset over Biden noting the growing fascism in the MAGA Republicans.

Maybe his reactionary defensiveness reveals more about him than he can face?

"The laddie doth protest too much, methinks."

Dave Miller said...

Skud stated... "Rev and Ray, Biden has stated that all republicans are horrible people..."

Skud, the tape of his speech is all over the web. The transcript is readily available.

That is an objective and provable fact.

Can you provide the line in his speech you referenced where he said "all republicans are horrible people"?

I know we've challenged you on this before. Now you've made a specific statement. Absent proof from you backing up your statement, or an admission that you were wrong, we have to conclude you are intent to come here and lie.

Because there is no other explanation.

skudrunner said...

Grey, I agree with all you said and had the orange idiot said maybe it best to mask until we figure out what is going on he would have won.

Economics 101 teaches short supply equals increase prices. The great reagan called it supply side economics and spurred the country out of the carter debacle. Yes trump negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan and all of bidens advisors said we are not ready but he did it anyway. Biden had no trouble backing out of the pipeline, drilling on federal land, opening the border, sending millions to the paris feel gooders so why wouldn't he follow the advice of his experts instead of causing multiple deaths and giving billions of dollars of armaments away.

You seem to smart to believe the government give away will pay for itself or that only those above 400k will pay. I do feel sorry for the privileged who took out a loan and can't pay it back only making $125,000 a year.

We are now governed by a president who asks a dead person to come up and a VP who says NKO is our friend. Can it get any worse.

I appreciate you not getting personal but you are the only one. I don't mention names but that is because I am a Southern Gentleman.

Les Carpenter said...

A "Southern Gentleman" is all I need to hear skud to know who and what you are. A "Southern Gentleman" from Alabama beat the shit out of my 82 year old father for some foolish shit he thought gave him the right to strike an elderly and phically unwell man.

Southern Gentleman means shit coming from folks who hold your values. Absolutely shit.

skudrunner said...

Leslie, I have even met some Northern Gentlemen. Guess you hate african american's, asian's, people of mixed race and whites because they have all attacked the elderly and do every day. Sorry for you bitterness toward everyone because it makes for a miserable life.

Rev, According to Ms. Shaw and others every republican, or the vast majority, is a maga republican so joey was condemning them all.

Les Carpenter said...

Nope. I love all people. Especlly minorities. You know the ones. The unheard and unseen.

It's the ideology and behaviors I hate skud. Something I leave to you to mull over.

Have a restf evening.
