Aloha, given Ronald Reagan's policies helped convince you to transition to the Republican party thought this article 'MAGA’ Republicans Are Dismantling Ronald Reagan’s Legacy would be of interest to you.
What do you think your pull quote means?
In 1960-1980, Sex and gender was binary, civil rights meant non-discrimination, we had federal budgets, education meant math, science and civics, borders meant something, and nuclear was the future of energy. I’ll take 1960-1980 thinking.
And to put the "age" issue into perspective... If Biden and Trump attended the same high school Biden would have been a senior while Trump was a sophmore...
Well, it looks like Biden and Trump will be your two choices, so you’re just going to have to be an adult and make your choice. Or you can waste your vote on a “protest vote” if you feel that will do some good, or just make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Biden gave the military the finger as he pulled out of Afghanistan.
Okay. The Biden phyc-op works on you. We know that without you quoting Biden.quote:
"Not every Republican, not even a majority of Republicans, adhere to the MAGA extremist ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with Republicans my whole career".
The same thing has been said OVER, and OVER, and OVER again. Wake up.
Remarks by President Biden Honoring the Legacy of Senator John McCain and the Work We Must Do Together to Strengthen Our Democracy | The White House

I am white and male. If crazy is knowing Biden f*cked up the sane border and energy policies Trump handed him on a silver platter, or jamming eleventy hundred genders into education then I admit to crazy.
No argument from me that the withdrawal was poorly handled at all levels.
Just started reading this thread. People may want to believe I'm a Trump guy. I'm not. I just can't stand the Democrat party. My choices suck.
That's one helluva story. Doubt if he was even treated for PTSD back then. RIP.Just started reading this thread. People may want to believe I'm a Trump guy. I'm not. I just can't stand the Democrat party. My choices suck.
That said, my grandpa made it through Korea and Vietnam. You're not weak or a loser if you get wounded or die in combat.
I encourage you all to read this man's story. If you don't want to that's fine. But Floyd J Thompson was drafted in 1956 and was in an airplane the got shot down in Vietnam in 1963. And spent almost 10 years in captivity in jungle camps in South Vietnam.

Who knows. I mean none of us supposedly really wants either of these geriatric crooks but it increasingly looks like that is what we are going to get again.
Craze, you bring up a good point when mentioning we are a nation in decline.
I think part is a feeling and part is comparing where we are today with different touchpoints in the past on a host of measurable. Foreign influence, quality of life, economic power, etc. How to improve is the rub.
I think there are quite a few objective measures we could look at. I don't think there is much disagreement around the things believed to not be going well. The disagreement is more on what the causes of that are and how to fix it, IMO.
I am very liberal. Surprise! But I am also Trump fatigued. He loves the drama. He loves the media vilifying him. He is con man and a reality tv character. He loves everything happening right now. It's great ratings and the money is pouring in. Most, with an IQ above their shoe size and who think most reality TV is trash, are tired of it of all. Tired of it coming from both sides.
This isn’t a news story. It’s simply a Kelly CNN rehash of what Kelly said months ago. He offers nothing new in support of his alleged confirmation. Confirmation means new material.
This all starts with a breakdown of respect and tolerance. The reason is simple. We enjoy bashing others. We have come to believe that mindless name calling and insults makes us better. We see this every day from the Oval Office and from most of those who want to occupy the Oval Office.
Is Tuberville correct? The amendment clearly says the federal government cannot pay for an abortion. The military is not paying for abortions. They are paying for travel. There are other laws that discuss not paying for or to facilitate an abortion. The Hyde Amendment does not use that language, "to facilitate" is not present.
You're wrong, CoH. Again. It is a major news story. It was covered by many major outlets (I've linked some below). It wasn't simply a "rehash." John Kelly, for the first time, confirmed that Trump actually said the disgraceful things that had been attributed to him in a piece The Atlantic ran in 2020.

Whether the Hyde Amendment covers travel and leave expenses for abortion purposes is an open question and not settled. Of corse the Biden Administration took the view most consistent with its politics. Tubervill wants to fix it with legislation which the Democrats refuse.
Does the military typically cover travel and leave expenses for elective procedures? If not, why only abortion?
Because states don't outlaw other elective procedures?
And you believe he's totally responsible if the president happens to be a Republican. I've never and never will believe that a president is totally responsible for inflation. Only a fool would believe that because the economy is complex BUT a president (with the help of congress) can influence the economy some. Printing trillions of dollars is gonna have an effect on inflation.
Seems like an issue the Feds would want to side step then if there is no consensus among states. Not dive head first into, especially through extra-legislative action.
It's above my pay grade, I can see both points. Often times feds are immune to state laws, there was a time until feds changed the law that bases had an 18 drinking age even though states had 21.
Thanks for the reply.
I think DeSantis would still be my preferred pick out of the available candidates. He checks some of the boxes I want checked culturally but even more than that I think he is competent at governing. Just the way he has handled some of the hurricanes, I believe that he is a guy that would make things work.
That is a lousy measure since about all have an agenda. It may be covered but it doesn't mean that it is "news".
