Is There Wasteful Spending In The Coronavirus Stimulus Bill?

Is that a no? Those were two separate posts. Sounds like you and 80 should write in Justin Amash.

Don't join the pretzel gang DNW!

I won't write in anyone. I just will not vote.

For me the issue wasn't that he signed a bill full of pork. That was necessary because he has no line item veto. The problem was that he sent his people (on behalf of the white house) to negotiate directly with the POS democrats and bypassed the one piece of the legislative branch his party supposedly controlled, thereby neutering their power. Then he compounded the issue by publicly attacking the Kentucky senator that wanted nothing more than a recorded vote. Obviously he would still have signed the bill created by the Marco Rubios and other so-called conservatives, because as president that was as good as he could have gotten. It was his control of the process that alarmed me.

If the election were held today, I would likely go vote for Trump because I think the anti-Trumpers are total douchebags and anything I can do to push them toward total lunacy is a good thing. I could list all the stuff Trump has done to infuriate me, but none of it comes close to the idiots with TDS and the unprincipled partisanship of the dems. It would be a close call, but I could probably justify it because I know he won't appoint judges to the SC that will condone ripping babies apart to the glee of the folks that promote infanticide.

Won't matter for most...will matter a lot in a few states.

I've just never been compelled by the "yeah, he's an idiot, but so are they, so I'll vote for him." Seems like a good way to continue to have bad choices ad infinitum​.

That’s funny. This post makes YOU sound like the douchebag. I mean what is it that you would call someone that would do something solely for the purpose of making other people upset,

Where I live, we call that a douchebag. But you do you. Ha!

Really, in your borough of Texas everyone? the vast majority? if asked would say, "yeah, anyone who would do something solely for the purpose of making other people upset, we call a douchebag. Now, down around Galveston I think they would call such a person a puss, and up toward Dallas, the term would be dipshit. But here, in Gooseyville, why we say douchebag."

Can we conduct a scientific survey to see if this is actually true?

Coming from the guy that spends 24/7 fretting about one man.

Its you liberals and the violent left that “do things for the sole purpose of making others and Trump upset”.
They love the shock value that makes zero common sense to any rational person and are “in your face”.

They create and stew in their own misery.

I just accept it...enjoy it...and move on with my life.

They are unable to move on with their lives, and it isn't anything external to themselves causing their pain (it's not Trump). It is their own inability to accept that they are not in control.

So very true. And they hate the mature adult decisions, made on the big issues by conservatives that almost always are correct. Dems know they have zero politicos in their quiver to do the same. They can only “lead from behind” as their failed Obama/Biden/Hillary did. .

Wow. I have never seen a better description for the psychology of Trump’s base. Well done!

Confirmation bias! Talk radio creates a problem, then redefines conservatism to address it...Brilliant!

I bathe in the tears of your self-imposed misery.

And I have never voted for Trump (or Hillary or Romney or McCain and only once for Mr Compassionate Conservatism).

And I don't wake up miserable every morning. I am pleased you do...and hope you seek help for that mental disorder.

Conservatism needs forceful defining, explaining and spreading to the masses with every day issues to clean and scour the liberal commie and socialist brainwashing of our youth to 40+ somethings. This goes back to the terrible liberal education and rewriting of history in our system. The idea that this age group even thinks about putting socialist and border line commie Bernie or socialist grandpa Biden in the WH is abhorrent and twisted. And they voted for a crook in Hillary. Thank the Lord for people like Rush, Levin, Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Peggy Noonan, Star Parker, Condi Rice, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, and Sean Hannity and so many who are spreading the truth on a daily basis.

I am not a big talk radio guy. You're going to have to come up with better than a Kindergarten-style analysis (you remember the pigeon holes you had to put everything in) to move ahead. Keep trying, you may get there yet.

As much as I am sure you wish that I were in misery (you do you), it isn’t gonna happen. I am a Gen Xer, and we carry on unflappably no matter what.

Still part of the Snowflake age group.
And so many are not unflappable as witnessed by their TDS.
