And if he were to actually achieve bringing some of the country together, then here comes the left with the 25th amendment.
Yeah... Kamala will be your President by February, then this country will have real problems. Will be entertaining to see Nikki Haley wipe the floor with her in 2024.

In addition to this, what kind of crazy shit are we going to see from Trump as he exits? Is it going to be along the lines of the Clinton-Pardon-Party, or something else?
Word on the street is he might start a news company to rival Fox News. He’s not going anywhere and will make the democrats’ lives a living hell as they did to him.

But how in the hell did anyone think she would be a good U.S. Representative?!? And why in the hell would anyone vote for her again?
Our political system is fucked.
Have you ever been to New York? Spend some time there and you’ll realize why occasional cortex is their darling comrade.

biden is a moderate democrat who hasn't rocked the boat for 40+ years
I'm not worried about him. He's going to get bullied by his party's radical left.
That’s the elephant in the room isn’t it? If Biden wins he will be 25th amendment’d out in place of Kamala. She’s probably laughing like a Hyena right now. Not over yet though.

Sequestration cost aviator lives? Go on. I’m sure having a minority woman as POTUS scares the shit out of you hilfuck Texas.
Huh? I happen to be a minority and will give you multiple female minorities I would love to have for POTUS (Rice, Haley, etc); I just don’t find someone appealing who whores herself out to married men while attacking her opponents about decency, brags about smoking MJ while putting thousands of blacks in prison while screeching about racism. Try again.
Yes..sequestration led to a rise in incidents that cost lives why is that so triggering to some people?

The interesting point is you questioning people on this forum’s service because they don’t share the same political opinion as you. Or how military members/veterans are supposed to support Trump, you know, the guy who skirted service himself due to “bone spurs.” You also said “see you tomorrow” to someone else, assuming all the ballots will be counted immediately after tomorrow. Apparently you’ve never witnessed a Presidential Election where it takes some states days, and possibly weeks, after the close of the polls to count the voters depending on state law. For instance, Colorado state law says that ballots have to be in by 7pm (MST) tomorrow night once the polls close. However, if a voter was notified there was an issue with their ballot, they have up to eight days, nine days this year due to the eight day falling on Veteran’s Day, to correct their ballot to be counted. Many states don’t even allow counting of ballots until after the polls close.
I don’t see how he was questioning anyone’s military service- giving him the benefit of the doubt it sounds like he’s just perplexed why military members would vote for Biden; especially since Biden was the VP during the gutting of the military during sequestration which cost many fellow aviator lives. Trump’s bone spurs? Don’t care..what conflict did Biden and Harris serve in? What conflict did Obama serve in? Trump’s policies have been very positive for the national defense of this country.
Also most Biden supporters do realize he’s just filler right? His handlers will move him aside ASAP for Kamala who had 4% in the primary in terms of popularity.

I hope all you guys saying Trump has got it locked up are right - for two reasons. I can't imagine what handing the country over to people who don't know the difference between a boy and a girl will be like, and secondly, the YouTube videos of the liberal tears are going to be even sweeter this time around...that said, I have my doubts. We'll have to wait and see.
The only downside to a Trump victory is the insane rioting from the jobless left / Antifa / BLM that is about to go down. Thankfully I live in a small Texas town that understands civility despite which side you are on, but man, I don’t envy those in a big city right now.
Also, the media wants Trump to win. He is their punching bag and scapegoat. Who else will cover their news cycle? He’s probably the source of most of their profits! They should thank him one day.

I'm calling it for Trump now. Biden is visiting Minnesota, when everyone is saying Texas is a tossup. Biden should be living in Texas if that were true. Trafalgar has Trump up in Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Close in Wisconsin. People are going to be so mad this upcoming Tuesday.
His handlers believe him coming to Texas and making an ass of himself would do more damage to him than just staying away and letting Bloomberg’s corrupt $$ doing the trick!

Government should be limited, and act within the scope the people have given the government (at any level, federal, state, county, city).
In theory, our government is representative of us, so helping out other citizens is like helping out your neighbor, though they might not be right next door. What role do/should the different levels of government play in execution/policy?
People pay taxes, and want to see a return on what they've given up, which is fair. But a lot of functions may not directly impact them as individuals in the here and now, but may help others in need now, or lay out a system that creates a fair environment for everyone to pursue their life/liberty/happiness in the long run.
It's good that we debate the role of government, and increase/decrease scope as what our society wants. I'm wary of mob rule though, so popularity polls (and calls for popular direct vote on national issues) concern me, as it allows large urban areas to dominate the discussion and disregard rural voices that may have different concerns/realities.
I'd argue the government can run a convenience store, class 6/AAFES seems to do okay. Maybe not the greatest, but not run into the ground.
Maybe we are asking too much of our government based on how much we're willing to pay. Implementing programs because they sound good, but not funding them, leads to frustrations as a disconnect forms between what we want and what we get. Taxes are what pays for government and it's programs, but we have been cutting taxes but not programs.
Since we're talking about smaller government, should DoD get more funding, as we're part of that government? If funding stays the same, or gets reduced, what gets cut? It's how we in DoD ended up with "do more with less" in the past, and there are many people that believe our investments (in taxes) in defense are still too big. And don't forget, there's a support tail needed to support the direct warfighter, so cuts in support could affect the warfighter in the long run, whether it's support, quality of life, retention, etc. Also, remember paying a contractor for support functions still comes out of that same budget.Good question on the DOD. Yes it would get a funding cut; but not on the backs of our troops or training (ie sequestration 2013). Those cuts should come from eliminating proxy wars and conflicts such as Afghanistan where we drained resources for almost 20 years without a coherent strategy.
However, just because we are asking for a smaller government doesn’t mean less funding for the DOD. Those asking for a small government are simply wishing the scope, power and overreach of the government was limited as the constitution intended. This is mostly towards domestic policy; foreign policy and the DOD are very much one of the few functions of the federal government.

We agree, but individualism is one of the key elements that made us (and thus the rest of the world) thrive. We do not believe in responsibility to the collective. That doesn't mean we don't cooperate, we just do it on our terms.
Numb nuts on his 37 acres is just an isolationist. Glad he had the freedom to do it, but it doesn't push the society forward, and if everyone wanted that, we'd get nowhere.
He is at least right about one thing : as little government as possible. Push power down to the states and local governments. One seriously must be living in a bubble if they believe the answer to their problems is “more government.” The government couldn’t run a convenience store without running it into the ground. Seriously what is wrong with people?

I would agree with that assessment, but here’s the better question: do you honestly think those that are still undecided will be swayed by what looks like a blatant attempt to sling mud and is seen as being questionable?
I say it looks like an attempt to sling mud because with all of this “rock solid evidence” there sure is a whole lot of nothing being said by the people that matter. As of yesterday, even Trump is being quiet about it. I think they know it won’t sway anyone. Covid is what Trump and Biden are discussing... Oddly enough, Trump says his plan (anyone seen it?) will create a booming economy, and Covid is basically beat. If that’s not strictly talking to your base, I don’t know what is...
Sent from my iPad using TapatalkNo one is talking about it because the media is complicit in the plan to destroy this country from the left. Where have you been the last 5-6 years? If this was Don Jr or Eric with the same degree of evidence it would be on 24/7 coverage, tell me I am wrong?
I do agree that this won’t sway many undecided voters. The question is how many will enthusiastically get off their behind and vote for their candidate. Look at the enthusiasm at their rallies, and I think you’ll get your answer.
Side note: the economy was booming under Trump prior to China infecting then world with Covid...and all things considered the economy is making a strong rebound (unless you live in states like Michigan or New York.) Trump has already proven he can make the right decisions for a strong economy amongst other things.

I think we can all agree after watching those interviews that Harris is just remarkably unlikable. Her fake smiling laughter “tick” is odd and off-putting.
She’s a typical arrogant, smug California liberal. Hasn’t accomplished anything besides blow married men to get hired and put black people behind bars for drug offenses she herself bragged about. However, that fake laughter ? Not sure anyone sane could deal with that for 4-8 years. Yikes.

McCain I guess? The Rep from Illinois that flies ISR in the guard who visits this forum. George W flew in the Texas ANG.

Trying to be a smartass, but stating the truth. FDR was a complete douchebag and a socialist to the hilt. Almost every policy that he advocated for and got passed by Congress was socialist in nature. He was the ultimate big government bureaucrat who didn't do anything but increase the size and reach of government. It took us years to roll back some of those taxes, but sadly, most of his programs are ingrained into our governmental fabric now.
He also illegally detained thousands of innocent Japanese Americans behind bars ..weird, the self righteous liberals always forget that little detail when they praise him.

Semantics. They have universal healthcare we do not.
Oh and that’s with roughly the same quality of life that comes with living in a standard first world country.
Define ‘quality of life’? Paying >60% taxes doesn’t constitute quality of life for me and many Americans. However many in those countries are happy so like the old saying goes “one man’s trash..”. That’s the beauty of America for the most part; freedom and liberty to make your own choices and spend your own money ...because god help you if you think our government can spend it more effectively.

You know, we all recognize that our infrastructure needs a major overhaul, healthcare sucks, etc... People ask how to pay for it, but no one's willing to fork out another dime in taxes. "Fix my problems, just do it without my money" is the mantra. Republicans have done such a bangup job fixing these things so far, how do you recommend we do it without tax raises? D's or R's are unwilling to get rid of waste in spending, so what's the alternative? Honest question from a hater of both parties. I'd be willing to pay a higher tax to fix our country, but again, not guarantee it also won't get wasted...
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkPrivate investment and then let the private sector handle it as was intended with the way our country runs; with limited and reasonable oversight. Why do (both sides) always run to the government for their problems? I don’t want crackpots like Bernie/Biden or illiterates like Occasional Cortex responsible for any more of my money than I already give for them to mishandle. Also, as much as I love Trump, I don’t want him having too much power and have not appreciated many of his executive orders.

OMG that sounds amazing. Best 10 months of my life was casual.
This was very true especially at Whiting before big AF robbed people of that opportunity. Worked 3 hours a day in flip flops and the squadron tee shirt (navy always wear sq colored shirts) cooking burgers on the flight line, then going to the beach and chasing women. Life didn’t suck then.

You won’t from Biden nor Kamala, sorry to break it to you. But yes, even as a hard Trump fan I do miss the civility in politics and sometimes cringe when Trump goes off on Twitter or whatever else.
