>Trump isn't perfect. Far from it. He's got major flaws, both in character and execution. However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole.

They're usually not that bad for his billionaire grifter buddies, I'll give you that.

Again, name ONE, that is bad for the COUNTRY. You can’t, can you?

I would say normalizing armed law enforcement wearing masks and refusing to provide any ID is utterly bad for the COUNTRY. Or maybe it's only bad for the people who get assaulted or shot by them and have no way of recourse. Let's hope that's not you, eh?

I’m assuming you’re talking about ICE here…

That’s how ICE has always worked, this is not new. “People who get assaulted” - seriously? Catching people who break the laws of our country is “assault”?? Show ID to who? People who are not even supposed to be here?

That’s laughable.

Personally directing the Attorney General to prosecute his political enemies and then firing prosecutors until he finds one who will agree to do it. Basically what Nixon was to be impeached for now happening on a weekly basis.

Can you name some examples? I have a reply in my head, but I wanna make sure I’m precise.
Re:Trump Pardons Convicted Binance Founder by ModernMech on Thursday October 23, 2025 @09:15PM (#45689605)
He posted on Truth Social explicitly directing Pam Bondi to prosecute Bolton, James, and Comey. Then the DOJ charged them with crimes.

In the James case, Kristin Bird and Elizabeth Yusi (prosecutors in EDVA) were both fired for refusing to bring charges, only to be replaced by Trump's personal attorney Lindsey Halligan (who is not even a prosecutor).

In the Comey case, again they fired Erik Siebert, also from EDVA, because he wouldn't prosecute. They put Trump's personal attorney on instead and she immediately gave the prosecution a greenlight against a tight statute of limitations deadline.

Just watch: today there was a report that prosecutors in Maryland are hesitant to bring charges against Adam Schiff. My guess is whoever is gumming up the works there will be fired and replaced by another Halligan.

Got it. It's gonna take me some time to reply to this, because I wanna get my facts right, and on mobile right now.

This is why it is pointless to reply to people like you.

You badger and badger and badger. You want examples, you want evidence. You want, you want, and you want. Never do you provide evidence. Never do you provide examples. And if you do provide something you claim to be an example, it's usually some vague declaration that really isn't true. But if someone pushes back, it's on them to "prove you wrong".

And the minute someone points out the actual facts of a situation in a way you are incapable of denying or shouting down, you run to your echo chambers to look for the talking points.

Why?

Why carry water for this administration? Their policies are going to be bad for you as well.

So... it's been 5 days. Anything?

ICE

Tariffs

You may not notice it yet, but he has ruined the reputation of your country. People consider it insane to travel there now for vacations. We are actively avoiding American garbage. We are migrating away from American clouds.

He is focussed on short term bullshit while what matters on the world stage is soft power. America was considered trustworthy, the defacto leader of the world.

Now you're just a bully, an impotent one at that. You are no longer taken seriously.

You will notice the effects eventually, possibly after Trump is already rotting in his grave.

Re:Trump Pardons Convicted Binance Founder by kapone on Thursday October 23, 2025 @08:31PM (#45689291)
That’s all bullshit and you know it. And likely won’t admit it.

WE have been the money pit for the entire world for a very long time. Likely too long. People and countries are having a fit because the money flow seems to be slowing if not stopping altogether.

What matters on any stage is … power. Pure, unadulterated power. Soft power is for pansies. And we know how to show and use our power. Just one…one of our carrier fleets packs more power than entire countries.

FAFO - Fuck around and find out.

Edit: The cartels in the south are starting to find out. We can shut down that entire corridor in the blink of an eye, if we wanted to. And we may be there now.

This is some straight-up nihilistic BS. Might does not make right, instead standing for what is right is what creates might.

> Soft power is for pansies.

Here are some quotes you may want to familiarize yourself with:

Maybe one or more of those will resonate and provide perspective as to many of your recent posts in this thread.

Ha. That's funny. But no, it seems you have drank the kool-aid and are delusional.

But you're right about one thing: FAFO

Touché.

We shall see.
