[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

payz hayz Yes, he speaks like an toddler. But he's deregulation businesses across the board. He makes fun of people, but they're the people that deserve it. He appointed dozens of great judges to various levels of federal court and takes a strong stance on immigration. His tax plan is mostly good and would do wonders for American economic growth. I'll admit he has a billion flaws and he's often a nasty, vain, unintelligent buffoon on his God- forsaken Twitter account, but he's making good on my expectations for him as President. Not perfect, but he does the job I voted him in for.

[@frogwad]

payz hayz BUT HILLARY

[@Chameleonred5]

@Carlos Rodriguez Does he? He flip-flops on issues so fast you'd think he was a pancake. His appointments aren't necessarily wise ones. There is no point to a strong stance on immigration given how it was ridiculously hard to immigrate to begin with. His tax plan is a selfish money grab.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

Chameleonred5 He is certainly inconsistent on some policy and I always criticize it, but in totality, I'm of the opinion that he's doing a fair job. Also, did you even read his tax plan? He wants to simplify brackets and lower taxes for the middle and lower classes. The business tax goes from around 35% to 20% actually making America competitive with other countries. We have the highest business tax in the industrialized world. So what happens when businesses decide to come back because they cam afford it (and we're their biggest market)? Lower taxes manages to bring in more tax revenue.

[@Capri_00]

Carlos Rodriguez would you defend him if he took a shit on your desk? And I am not the only one wondering this. For that question comes from Anderson Cooper.

[@cmgm6027]

Philosophy is mandatory in high school in many countries.. Here in Portugal you have philosophy in 10th grade as one of the basic mandatory classes.

[@Aziraphale686]

Hue: Yeah absolutely, critical thinking skills are something that needs to be strongly emphasized as well. In the same vein, I think there needs to be a change in how people view arguments as having a winner and a loser. It's not about winning, it's about making sure that your opinions and beliefs accurately reflect the real world, and we need to be able to adjust our views when new evidence presents itself.

[@crystalsoulslayer]

Aziraphale686, I agree. I also think it needs to be made very clear that _disagreement_ and _disrespect_ are two very different things. Too many people seem to regard someone having an opinion they don't as some form of insult. It makes having an exchange of ideas really difficult. And there's also the fact that, depending on the context you first learn about something in, it could mean something very different to you than to someone else. If you get your news from the kinds of placed Hue Manatee mentioned, you're practically speaking a different language from people who get their news elsewhere.

Democrats also use whataboutism. Whats your point? Everything Trump is doing, Obama did. Obama shit on Fox and favored News Stations that kissed his ass during his time as president. He used whataboutism during his speech about Christians during the crusades being just as about as Islam today. As far as trolling goes - Turn to California; The state that says if I have HIV and knowingly fuck someone and infect that the worst I get is a slap on the wrist. Or that Gun Control is a viable solution to gun crime even though Chicago is running rampant with gun crime and murder and they have the strictest gun laws and is been run by democrats for decades. I find it funny people forget everything the democrats do when someone they like is doing it. Keep it up though, if you push these identity politics were going to have a moron as a president for a second term.

The Commander in Chief presided over a rally at Capitol that resulted in a riot that came close to abducting and possibly killing members of Congress, in order to prevent his successor from taking office. Whether or not he "incited" it, he was there as the Commander of the armed forces and executive branch, and did absolutely nothing to stop it. He was derelict in his duty, and failed to intervene... That's the most generous interpretation of events for Trump. An entirely reasonable interpretation would be that he wanted it to happen, and actively encouraged it up until the moment it became untenable. Ignoring every event between 2016 and December 2020, this incident is enough to disqualify him in perpetuity from holding any public office. Inexcusable.
