That said, although some of their concepts can be seen in a more rational light, such as health care expansion, their presentation of it along with their other ideas is so atypical and frankly, weird, that its national appeal will fall flat on its face. The whole thing looks bizarre...
Countering one extreme with another. Not exactly a winning strategy.

The Democrat Party has become the party of Hasan Piker and Abdul el Sayed, and is now the party that has become anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and Anti-American

Is it “American” to imprison people indefinitely without charges or meaningful due process, based largely on who they appear to be?

Is it “American” to use the power of government to punish or intimidate the press for writing stories unflattering to the President—or comedians for mocking him?

Is it “American” to continually praise tyrannical dictators while degrading democratically elected leaders?

WTF "America" did you grow up in?
An alternate reality where he's a man's man and who looks like his avatar, is popular with the women, and has a degree in biomedical engineering (before that, physics).  None of these are true in actual reality.

When there are only two or three that will (sometimes) respond to anything posted surely makes me long for the old days here before a certain someone came on the scene and chased them all away. 

Back on topic Trump only did this to hopefully sway voters in red states so it's not too embarrassing of a loss in two weeks. Not sure if this action will do what he wants as it's the high prices of diesel and fertilizer that they care about. It ain't rocket science and trump doesn't seem to be even as smart as a sanitation engineer considering he's so full of crap.
Did you get your $90 Trump medicare bribe yet?  I did.  Sorry, still voting against every single R on the ballot, and will continue to do so as long as Trump/MAGA stupidity continues to influence the party.

The forum's not entirely dead, notwithstanding the little braindead loudmouth. LOL

It's truly pathetic, isn't it?  It's only the umpteenth example of the complete incompetence of this administration.
