Van Jones is an intelligent guy, despite being on the wrong side of most controversial political issues. Personally, I like Warden, I believe I’d like Van Jones. From what I’ve seen of him, I find him annoying but affable.
There is nothing like a “Eureka” realization of truth like the one-expressed by arch-liberal Van Jones:
“Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot… Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all the critics… this dude is a phenomenal—he is the most powerful human on earth.”
No one denies that trump is a phenomenal self promotor. So was Don King. Every single fighter that worked with king ended up broke. There is a common theme both are great con men. Trump may actually be the greatest at one thing. He is the all time GREAT conman.
Bikki, I get why people like him. That being said the man is both morally and ethically broken.
By the way how are you doing? I barely see you post much anymore. One day i do want to come up your way and meet.
Elite80, Trump has halted a border invasion, lowered food and energy prices, ended a war in Africa in which six million humans perished, brokered a peace between India and Pakistan, destroyed the nuclear capability of the most menacing terrorist nation, made Europe pony up for its own defense, and is on the brink of ending the Ukraine War and restoring what should be a positive business relationship with the largest nation on earth. Trump is a font of common sense, an answer to a country that under leftist stewardship has gone haywire.
Nobody has been a greater friend to Israel than Trump. Israel is a testament to the greatness of Western Civilization surrounded by neighboring nations that are beleaguered by the political influence of an unethical religion that I perceive as being mankind’s worst invention, worse due to its enduring quality than even Nazism.
You, Elite80, need to reappraise your wrong opinion of Trump. You remind me of Henry Clay who made the famous statement, “I’d rather be right than president,” Henry Clay as it turned out was wrong, and never lived to see the fulfillment of his ambition. For humans, it’s devilishly hard to admit being WRONG.
He can sell ice to an eskimo, but the eskimo doesn’t realize that the ice is compromised until it’s too late. Even then, he’s happy that he was sold the ice simply on the basis on whom it was bought from. MAGA is the exact same thing. Grifter gonna grift.
Not an invasion
False. Food prices are up. Groceries are up 2.2%. Restaurant food is up 3.8%. Energy prices are down.
Like the last 3 times it was ended just this year?
False. There was no brokered peace deal brokered by Trump between India and Pakistan. He repeatedly tried to take credit for it, but nothing like that happened. India explicitly rejected US mediation. The External Affairs Ministry stated the ceasefire was the result of direct military-to-military contact without US influence or trade concessions.
False. The uranium is unaccounted for.
by virtually abandoning NATO and our commitments to our allies.
Sure, just like you said it would end by the winter of year 1.
By supporting their genocide
Yet, you support the East, Russia
You’re right there. GSC is a prime example.
And the polling shows that we all see it
I’m sorry did you just post a GOP-only approval rating? 
Let’s at LEAST get all of America in there.
For comparison, Biden left office with a party-approval rating of 71%, his lowest of all time!
Among Democrats, Biden’s end-of-term approval rating stands at 71%, the lowest read among his own partisans in CNN national polling during his time in office.

Yes
But still good numbers across all parties and non party affiliates
Both your chart and my chart show Trump’s approval plummeting since he took office. That’s what that downward line means.
By the way, it’s not like his initial approval was great. To put it in perspective, right now Trump’s approval rating in his 2nd term alone is averaging on par with Biden’s. So call them good numbers, call them bad numbers, call them peanut butter sandwiches if you want. No skin off my back.
Bikki, gas prices in south florida are up as are food prices. Go to pubix and ground beef is 20 dollars. Egg prices are still high.
Trump has been a disaster. My money says that he gets impeached his second term but this time by his own party. To save the party they are going to have to jettison trump because this thing will end so badly.
As Trump predicted, winning has become an everyday occurrence during our newly-minted “Golden Age,” thanks to MAGA governance. I just bought a dozen eggs for $2.59.
Warden in this thread refers to Israeli genocide in Gaza. Like Elite80, Warden’s opinion is formed through muddled thinking. Always a parenthetical
person, wishing to edify thinking of those suffering from muttonheadedness, I offer this splendid article authored by a rather adroit attorney Matthew M. Hausman. Yes, Israel as a nation is truly a Western Civilization paragon of virtue. Hard to impeach Hausman’s views on Israel’s right to defend itself against Islamic barbarism.
Israel has the right to defend itself. I am 1000 percent behind them doing so. What they are doing now is not defending themselves. They are being the aggressor. Their leader meeds to go. Killing people for no reason is not acceptable no matter what side you are on.
Bikki, i will give credit where credit is due. The reality is we are in worse shape now. Gas prices are over 4 dollars a gallon. Everything is more expensive now. There are no deals worth a shit. At what point do the lies get exposed. The deal just pushed through- lol. Trump is going to do to our country what he did to his casinos and that is bankrupt them.
Yes we know…You’ve only typed it 9786 times you fucking cunt
We’ll need a sheriff’s posse to find you when it doesn’t happen.
Lol…Because Joy Reid told him so
by virtually abandoning NATO and our commitments to our allies.
Who gives a shit? “Allies” or leeches?
By supporting their genocide
Lol, imagine thinking it’s a genocide…Such a sheep.
Bringing in 10 trillion dollars of capital should have a pronounced effect on the economy. Certainly, it will provide a flourish of new jobs. Trump is wheeling and dealing, straightening out international trade using tariffs as bargaining chips. Small wonder that blue color workers are rallying behind Trump while the Democrats are the pawns of leftist elite billionaires. My portfolio hit a new high today. I filled my car today for $2.49 a gallon. For me, it’s the Golden Age.

It may be the golden age for you. Wheeling and dealing. He said there would be 90 trade deals in 90 days. He got one done with England and it was not much different then what was in place. The people who are going to benefit are those who have money already. Bikki it has been a disaster for many people and it is only getting worse. Gas mayt be 2.49 where you live it is over 4.00 dollars a gallon here. Prices of food where supposed to get cheaper. This deal he just pushed through is going to be bad. Skeeter will stick his head in the sand. Even republicans know it is bad. It is fine…enjoy the time now. Someone will be right - someone will be wrong. In 2026 most of Americans will have gotten their taste of this and wont like it. Gutting medicaid…not a good idea. This guy is going to kill the economy. He is a terrible businessman. Look at his past…Don’t ignore it. Glad your portofolio is doing well. Most americans don’t have the luxury of having money stocked away.
