(2,052 posts)the vast majority of us knew the Garland fiasco would end the way it did and that we were duped into Afghanistan, Iraq, the Banksters (thanx Obama), the selections for SCOTUS because many or most believed, "it'll be ok..because they said so" (and it really doesn't affect us, right?) Yet that didn't stop quite a number of (now disappeared commenters) from using POSSIBLE arguments to try to show a majority (of us) was incorrect - that we needed to give Garland time to get things right - by law!. Their positions turned out poorly. And while it's possible that the outcome will be as Schumer and damn few others believe, it's hard to understand how and why, given trumps record, ANYONE can advance even an iota of positivity or truth from anything he or republicans say or do.
Since tramp is so for this, I presume those who support the 10 must believe they are right, which, of course, is their choice but using select past examples of popular support being wrong as "proof" then doesn't mean this time will be the same. But using those examples to show "we" could be wrong, simply shows they seemingly accept whatever tramp says even if these pseudo Democrats take more concern over their big donors than us peons. Or better yet, MAYBE it'll be ok if we just "stay the course" and see what happens. Surely SOMEONE will come along and make things better? Maybe a Biden in in our future (not immediate but 5 or 10 years down the line) and that will straighten all this out and things will be swell again.. til another conservative group ASSumes power. Then we do it all over again because that's what THEY want and we're too stupid to do anything about it...because, maybe they'll see the light or whatever. Let's give them yet another chance.
There's no "quid" with him. At least WE have seen and KNOW that he has lied before and gone back on every thing he promised to do to help...us? And yet they and some others believe him or accept that the sky won't fall because he says so and things will be just fine (or even great again!!!). Almost every statement he's made could be interpreted to refer to his covey of crooks, not us.
Make America Great Again? He's gonna make millions from tariffs (didn't say for who gets the millions). Never said it would be for the people. Maybe he really meant to make the upper class great(er) again - trillion dollar tax cuts for them, destruction of the environment so they can add more wealth to their already massive benefit of tax cuts yet bread lines for us! But SOMEONE is gonna be great again, right? So why should he be given ANY credence for ANYTHING he or is ilk say? He shouldn't. But many "Democrats" will still consider his ramblings.
If the 10 or anyone believes ANYTHING tramp or any republican says, I got a country to sell them...cheap!
You know what? Screw it. We deserve what we got. American's entitled world has been upset and they are now pissed and can't understand why it happened (to them) and really can't comprehend anything! Americans have been dumbed down by 60 years of republican/corporate BS, lies and exaggerations and have now graduated to real life and must live with someone else's control. And they don't have the mental capability or desire to even try to understand why it happened. Hey! Where's the media? No one told us this would happen! We don't want to live like those other countries. This isn't what WE are entitled to.
No shit!
