Fear-mongering.
Nothing else to offer.
Are you fearful of what Trump has told you he will do? Are you fearful he will terminate the Constitution as he promised?
Dan Coats a lifelong Republican and the Director of National Intelligence under Trump believes that Trump is a Russian asset and being blackmailed by Putin. Now Elon Musk has been meeting with Putin to discuss foreign policy if Trump wins. These are facts.

I for one am not afraid of a Trump victory. All this fear mongering makes me laugh.
One thing I do fear, though. I fear for the former and quite possibly the new President's life.
Thanks to the deplorables in the first sentence above and their rhetoric the past few days as we get closer to the inevitable.

I pray for a Trump landslide, so there will be no doubt the country at large rejects the "woke" agenda of the Left and the lawfare tactics of the Democrats.
I don't care what any intelligence agency director thinks or says. I've worked in the intelligence field my whole career. That's all I can say about it.
I know better than to take political advice from anyone who thought it was the right thing to LIE to the Commander in Chief about US force numbers deployed to Afghanistan and Syria. That's treasonous.

. Especially now days, I notice that a lot of political pages on the site are replacing neutral wording and sources with politically bias sources. In order for you to post on Wikipedia you need to source reference material, but using magazines and political opinion pieces are hardly credible sources. So I assume that is how “activists” are getting around it. It seems that Wikipedia also uses a Reddit/quora style review process so it’s likely coordinated upvotes on politically bias revisions is what’s keeping the activist changes there. Just my assumptions based on my observations.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rightfully soif I use Wikipedia for anything other than curiosity, i'll read the sources the article cites, and I'll often visit those sources to see what they say within context.
I find Wiki a convenient starting point, but I'll rarely ague that Wikipedia is the gospel on anything.

Wikipedia is also good for entertainment. U can click on 1 topic and more topics relate. Like say you search M16 and then 5.56mm would be able to click to search as well without having to type it in. Or Eugene Stoner, US Army, etc...
When I was at my old job, we had a lot of downtime, so I was on it a lot. Until IT blocked it, but we found out how to get around the "proxy setting". Then they figured that out and we were totally blocked.

Trump was ousted because he was draining the Swamp.
The swamp critters are from all political affiliations, so advertising Coates as a Republican is a ridiculous argument. Unlike Democrats, Republicans are not blindly loyal to the party they joined.

-Say a bunch of stupid stuff.
- Anger democrats
-Play a bunch of golf
-Take credit for a bunch of stuff he didn't have that big a roll in
-Blame democrats for things
-Appoint a justice to SCOTUS (hopefully replacing Clarence Thomas)
Other than that I don't predict much significant out of him.

Can you be more specific?
WHat kind of stupid stuff will he say?
What would he take credit for that he didn't have a big roll in?
Add on, how much roll should one have so they can take credit for doing something?
What kind of things would he blame dems for?

I don't think even Jesus could predict the stupid things Trump will say in the future.
Taking too much credit is part of the job. Congress gets a law through and the president signs it and then claims he did something good. Or the president delegates some task then claims how good he did the task. On many things, but not all, presidents, all presidents, take way too much credit in my opinion.

I don't think Jesus spent his time predicting what words will come out of people's mouths. Just funny you'd try to invoke Jesus when you don't believe in Him.
If you followed one major bill from start to law, you'd realize it's not as simple as you think.
Parties and committees play Monopoly with the laws, voting for bills the other side wants in exchange for what they want. When it gets to the President to sign, it's more of a formality. Research how many bills are vetoed in each term, and how many of those were passed via a Congressional override vote.
So ehen they brag about passing a bill, there was likely a lot of horse trading in the back rooms in order to get it passed for signing.

You didn't answer my questions.
I would assume everyone says stupid stuff. U stated that all presidents take way too much credit for things. So basically, you're making a neutral statement of things that will happen no matter what. This is why I asked you for specifics on your statement. You can just say "I have none, but (enter your post above). So my statement goes for everyone."

I didn't answer because I can't make such specific predictions of the future because I don't know the future. I can only make general predictions based on past performance given those are all things he has done before

I never said I don't believe in Jesus. The point was that the things Trump has said are so odd that no one could ever predict what he would say.

Last year, a group of Democrats —including Representatives Jerrold Nadler
of New York, Hank Johnson of Georgia, Mondaire Jones of New York and
Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts— tried to pass a proposal to expand
the number of seats on the Supreme Court from nine to 13.
Democrats hate that they lost their liberal activist judges (thanks to Trump replacing them). As usual, instead of accepting a loss, many Democrats pushed to change the game.
I think Trump ought to consider expanding the court as a gesture of goodwill to those Democrats. But, instead of Biden and his Democrat handlers making the appointments, it'll be Trump and a GOP majority Senate.
Careful what you wish for!

I would say each gets 33% credit. Say we had a pro 2a senate and house, but an anti 2a POTUS. There is no way POTUS would sign the bill into law. Real example, The Hudson Bill (National Reciprocity). THis was the 1st time ever that a bill like this passed it's first hurdle. Trump said he would sign it if it came to his desk, but the bill died as the house voted against it. This was with a GOP controlled house and senate. Obama had the same GOP controlled house/senate, but no bill like this made it pass it's first stage.
If a bill doesn't pass either house or senate, but POTUS says he worked with a rep/senator to have a bill created, then POTUS should get the 1/3 credit, even though it never came across his desk.
This is why I asked you what % involvement should one have in order to take credit and you didn't reply with a number. Guess numbers are definitive too, so you wouldn't be able to play both sides.
