Sure...though Id prefer he do it at less of a cost to the taxpayer. Its just another thing on the rather large pile of things he is extremely hypocritical about.

Eh, I think it'd make my top 100 because it's such an obvious example that he's completely full of #### when he makes public claims.
But yeah I'd much rather he just play golf constantly and not enact any EOs or engage in any sort of foreign affairs.

The playing golf is basically low hanging fruit as an easy symbol of his (and his supporters) hypocrisy. I don't think anybody really cares that he plays a lot of golf. What bothers me is the obvious self-dealing. Every time he plays golf at one of his own properties or spends the weekend at Mara Lago or his other resorts, he makes money at taxpayers expense, and it's not an insignificant amount.

And the frequency that he goes to NY or FL to do it, rather than playing locally. I do not begrudge him going to his place at Lowes Island (it'll always be Lowes Island for me) unless he's funneling taxpayer money into his club at a greater cost than it would be for him to go anywhere else locally.Zow said:
No problem with any president playing golf on weekends or even occasionally during the week, especially if they are legitimately doing business. That's a real thing. Though, I suspect not as much with DJT.

This is the most depressing thing I've ever listened to. Depressing because there are millions of people who listen to stuff like this and think "heck yea!". I can't even begin to touch on how many ways this is all so backwards.
this doesn't even crack my top 10,000 reasons, but does anyone else find it extremely annoying when he repeatedly talks about people having "The Sniffles" to minimize the seriousness of those infected with Covid-19? with 136,000+ dead?

So a news conference turns into a rally? What is the point of this? I shouldn't be surprised at this "news" conference, but he sure has lowered the bar for the presidency.

The actual major news outlets cut away to commercial once they realized it wasn’t really a “press conference” but rather a taxpayer funded rally. Only Fox News and OAN covered the entire conference/rally.

The numbers aren’t going to get any better for Trump. He’s only now starting to realize how badly he’s going to lose this election.
The scary question is: how ugly is he going to get in the next few months?

Boy I sure hope you are right. I know many educated people who still stand by this guy.....and won't vote left no matter what.

Yea - I wouldn't spike the football just yet.
Polls have started to tighten slightly over the last week or so.

I loved my grandfathers and knew they lived their lives in a noble way. So there would be plenty of compassion and understanding. Trump has been horrible in every aspect of his life and doesn't deserve the same consideration.

Trump's approval numbers tend to improve once his behavior is normalized. Lucky for Biden, Trump has been unable to show any kind of stability for more than a few days at a time, so chances are good that he'll do something else to tank his numbers in October.

Trump has nutjob far-right extremists directly advising him every day, guiding his policies. His entire presidency has been a string of corruption, lies, handouts to the rich, and racism. IMO that's so so much worse than a few junior reps who want to save the planet. I really don't get it. At all.College-educated and (I like to think) reasonably intelligent here. I'm not a Trump fan, but my dislike for him is nothing compared to my dislike for AOC, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of the far-left extremists who'd certainly have input on Biden's presidency. So Trump it is...

I wish you'd reconsider because I think the damage Trump does to our institutions every day is incredibly damaging and far, far worse than Biden could ever do. Even if he were going to be heavily influenced by the far left of the property - which I don't think he will be.College-educated and (I like to think) reasonably intelligent here. I'm not a Trump fan, but my dislike for him is nothing compared to my dislike for AOC, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of the far-left extremists who'd certainly have input on Biden's presidency.

But I reckon we could go round and round on this with neither of us moving. You seem like a nice fella - and I know I am. So stay safe.
This is where republicans have been so successful. For some people they have framed it as such a stark choice between the american way of life and communism that destorys the police.
By any standard the democrats very much operate from the right side of the spectrum.
It's ironic worrying about AOC and not worrying about the loads of fringe senators and congress people in the GOP. How about the ones that are all into Qanon now...that's borderline insanity

This reminds me of something I should have listed in my reply to you in the Covid thread about how somebody could believe we are doing well with the virus. Another thing that we collectively do is to take the fringe or extremists on the other side of the aisle as speaking for everyone. And we right off the fringe or extreme on our own side. Ultimately, the biggest problem to me with that is that we have sides to begin with.
Of course, that's why you focus on the leadership and the bulk of the party policies
Biden has come out as a hard no to defunding the police
Biden does not propose anything that would destroy capatlism

I for one am glad to see that we are now politicizing beans.

I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

Oh you’ll be disappointed. It’s not going to be what you are thinking...the refried bean bit is kind of like “why is it called ovaltine?”

Again this is just further proof we are living in a simulation. This cannot be real that the president is taking pictures in the oval office with cans of beans. What. The. ####.

In December 2019, if I would have said the above sentence would be true, we would be saying that’s absolutely terrifying and we would be doing anything we could to avoid it.
Now read the quoted post again. This is literally insane that 140,000 deaths in the US is now so normalIzed that he feels good about posting pictures with cans of beans in the Oval. Unreal.
