Democrats Left With Egg All Over Their Faces After Trying to Dunk on Trump Over Colombia Drama

And blaming Trump for high egg prices and/or lack of eggs. I guess the Bird Flu is Trump’s fault.

You act as though being a ruthless, vengeful, threatening leader of the free world is a good thing. It’s not.

Trump is of course responsible for EVERYTHING from Jan 20th on. At least that’s your expectation when someone you don’t like takes office. Unless you’re a giant partisan hack hypocrite. You’re not one of those are you, BDK?
What is the fuck are you talking about? You make no sense...unless this is the kind and gracious Klam. Klam has deemed your moralism sufficient.

You fucks who didn't get the worthless shot, need to die, lose jobs, etc.

Hypocrite.

If you don't want threats from Trump don't fuck with the USA, its simple really.

Frankly I want a guy that is willing to punch somebody in the face when they get out of line, the world needs more of that instead of the way things have been going. Sometimes a little violence sets the tone and we all end up safer because of it.

How many tines do I have to tell you, read additional posts for context.

Everyone knows except you and BDK that a president is responsible for everything that happens the very second he’s sworn in. It’s a long standing CS rule.

Making America more stupider again.
Postman first settled on his argument while working on an essay about two different dystopian visions of the future that had been offered in the mid-20th century: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Postman’s insight was that these two books, though often grouped together, portray very different dystopias. In Orwell’s vision, all information is tightly controlled by the state, and people have access only to the narrow, bludgeoning propaganda that is force-fed to them. Huxley’s vision was the opposite. In Brave New World, the problem isn’t too little information but too much, or at least too much entertainment and distraction. “What Orwell feared,” Postman writes, “were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.” The key insight that propels Postman’s now-classic work is that Huxley described the future much better than Orwell

There was a deep logic to this approach. Trump intuited that if he drew attention to certain topics, even if he did it in an alienating way, the benefits of highlighting issues where he and the Republican party held a polling advantage would outweigh the costs. Here’s a concrete example: in 2016, polling tended to show that Republicans were more trusted on the issue of immigration than Democrats. Trump wanted to raise the amount of attention paid to the issue, and to that end he was constantly saying wild and hateful things on the topic. In the first few minutes of his very first speech, he accused the Mexican government of “sending” rapists and other criminals to the US, an accusation both ludicrous and offensive enough that it immediately led several businesses and organisations (including NBC, which aired The Apprentice) to cut ties with him. But that was just the beginning. As a standard part of his stump speech, he infamously promised to build a wall across the entire 2,000-mile expanse of the US-Mexico border and, even more absurdly, claimed he would make Mexico pay for it. In June of that year, a Gallup poll found 66% of Americans were opposed to building a wall along the whole southern border.
You would think, given those polling numbers, that Trump would not keep hammering the issue. But his continued insistence on the policy reliably attracted attention to the issue of immigration, in which, as a general matter, Republicans had an advantage over Democrats. When he attacked the Mexican-American heritage of a federal judge who was ruling on a lawsuit, it was despicable and bigoted, but also another opportunity to attract attention to immigration.

Public attention, particularly in a campaign, is zero sum: voters are going to have only a few things in mind when considering candidates, and which issues they are focused on will be one of them. At the end of the 2016 campaign, when Gallup asked voters to volunteer words they associated with each candidate and then rendered the responses as word clouds – with the size of the word corresponding to the frequency of response – Hillary Clinton’s word cloud was entirely dominated by “emails”, while Trump’s featured “Mexico” and “immigration” among the top responses. This is how Trump won his narrow electoral college victory – by (among many other factors) pulling off the improbable trade of persuasion for attention, likability for salience.

During the Gilded age, the Andrew Jackson and William McKinley presidencies…they have all been praised by either Trump himself or MAGA flag wavers. He is probably a fan of the 1920’s as well.

It didn't. It was great before trump, great during trump, and great after trump. It will continue to be great as long as trump doesn't screw it up.

That's good because he's not a very good economist.

sowell likes to spout trite, overly-simplistic quotes that appeal to the uninformed.

So far in two weeks:

1. Friend's daughter lost her first job out of college due to uncertainty on grants. She's absolutely devastated.
2. Two friends (NIH and Census) have been told they'll likely be terminated because they're still on their probationary period.
3. My dad's construction workers (legal immigrants) stopped coming to work due to fear and he's losing money on jobs now.
4. My married friends were told the house they're currently building is actually going to cost 25% more due to labor shortages and materials cost increases. They're still exploring how to pay for it.
5. An engineering project I've been working on for four years might be cancelled due to labor/material cost increases. Just told this week.
6. Immigrants have mostly stopped showing up to the clinic I work at due to fear. These are people coming from other nations who need vaccinations, which helps stop the spread of preventable diseases in our communities and schools. I'm literally answering calls to tell them "our clinic is a safe space, please come in and get vaccinated."
7. Gas prices have noticeably gone up in my area.
8. Produce prices have noticeably gone up in my area.

Trump can go fuck himself. And his voters too. Americans had it so good compared to the rest of the world, but the suburban soccer mom and dad with their 4000 sq ft home and Escalade were bored of their lives, decided to play the victim, create drama, and burn it all down.

Thank god I'm a registered nurse. One of the easiest jobs to get a work visa somewhere else. Already started applications to England, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. This country has lost its mind; Trump and his thugs are going to pillage everything.

Great post as always. But damn, those of us staying need as many rational people to speak out and vote against the bullshit as possible.

Told ya! Of course you probably figured it out on your own. No matter what decent sized city (75k+), I've always seen tons of jobs for RN. Great if you're not sure if you know where you want to live.

I’m calling BS that they are immigrants. If they are immigrants that means they are here legally and have nothing to fear. I bet the no shows are illegal aliens.
