      I dropped CNN yt, when they got a new -R CEO and started promoting Donvict over democracy.

      The right has been trying desperately to rewrite the legacy of FDR. There's a great t-shirt/poster....at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park, NY listing all the accomplishments of FDR. At the top it says something like, "It's FDR's world and we live in it." It's great. Eisenhower was probably the last GOP president of consequence with the interstate system. Prior to him it would be Teddy Roosevelt who grew completely disenfranchised with the GOP and formed the Bull Moose party.

      What's to teach about climate change?>The earth's temperature has fluctuated all through time. There was an Ice age. Trying to push a narrative that any creature on earth can control the weather is a lost cause. The "science" is a mere observation of weather patterns. Our lifetime isn't long enough to understand it. Might as well study air or water. How much is there to learn? How can such a simple thing be called "basic science"? The reason "climate change" has become a pushed narrative is because wealthy people seek to profit from it. they know you will buy anything if it makes you feel like a hero. Micheal Moore made a documentary exposing the green energy money making scheme and that's why they banned his film within days of its release.

      That's precisely why Trump needs to win, because if Harris gets in, she will only continue with suppressing of free speech and silencing of opposing candidates and dissenting opinion. She is a puppet right out of Russian playbook. There's hardly a democracy now with the vitriol from the radical woke / pro-hamas left. In 58 days, Don will be restoring not just freedom of speech, common sense and equality (NOT EQUITY), he'll also be restoring DEMOCRACY.
      Oh it's going to be so sweet to be free again, to wear a red hat, and say what you want without being banned on FB, de-platformed on social media as Biden & Harris have vociferously been doing for nearly 4 years.

      Your brainwashed !! Trump made NATO countries start paying their fair share ! The U.S. payed the most $$$ to NATO to Police the rest of the WORLD ! It wasn't fair to America and our Hard Earned Tax Dollars being Spent providing Security to the WORLD when other Countries committed to doing the same by contributing a portion of their GDP to the Very Existence to NATO ! Trump stated you don't pay we won't either THEN WHAT ?? Russia invades you ? Negotiation and standing firm for the TAXPAYER AND HIS COUNTRY BEING RIPPED OFF ! HE SUCCEEDED ! He got NATO countries to start paying what they PROMISED ! 100's of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS the United States DIDN'T have to spend ! I call that a win for my COUNTRY and my POCKET . 👍

      What we shouldn't be, is overly involved. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. We actually take away from our children qhen we are constantly " helping". Let them learn to communicate with their teachers. Make them responsible for their own grades and homework.
      Parents need to let teachers do their jobs, and stay in their lane and do their own job.
      Teachers also need their authority back, and parents need to back them up. Your child isn't an angel.

      Stop deluding yourself that they're actually Trump's policies. He is following the playbooks handed to him by the conservatives coming out of the Heritage Foundation and I'm not talking about project 2025. The Heritage Foundation has given every GOP Administration A playbook since at least Ronald Reagan which is why we're fucked up now as a country and the unemployed homeless are shooting each other for the best begging spots on intersections. Because McMaster is a devout gop/libertarian zealot it is his job to help implement those country crushing edicts coming out of the Heritage Foundation. That's why he agrees with Trump on policy. It used to be said that the GOP got things done because they walk in lockstep but it's closer to walking in Goose step in my opinion.

They'll get more power in the next election if the reasons for people voting for the far right aren't addressed. Same here, if the reasons that people choose to support Trump aren't addressed, with or without Trump, the republican party will continue to shift to the far right.
      People are unhappy, and when people are unhappy, the worst thing you can tell them, be grateful, could be worse, because they will look for populists who promise them things will be better and proceed to burn everything down.

    When I consider a candidate the first consideration is "Are they competent?". Character is second. Trump has a weak character, obviously. Policy promises only inform me on whether or not the candidate is aligned with my personal philosophies. But character and policy are both irrelevant if the candidate is incompetent.

      Its the blame game which is always a weak leadership position. Avalon made comments about leadership and both Lowery and McMaster didn't touch that as the problem with Trump. Anyone can start killing people around the world to look tough but where does that lead? Bush blows up Iraq so why didn't the world cower at the strength of the US, it should have been a lasting thing. But then the Middle East strikes back with 9/11 and we were lit up and they found out that the god bleeds. The rest of the world does not fear the US as much as China has brought wealth to these smaller countries, it wasn't the US as US multinationals always suck these countries dry and the people in these countries start to hate the US. I whipped off onto a tangent but ultimately, Trump was more of a problem/fear for our allies than he was a feared character by our enemies. Putin had already secured Crimea, the Donbas and just needed a bit more time to do a slow easy coup to take UKR. Trump loses so now Putin has to weigh his options, will Trump run in 2024, will he be able to win, can I wait any longer and it would seem he couldn't wait. The GOP has done all it could for Putin by not fully backing UKR and for McMaster to not rip the GOP for that is disingenuous on his part since he says he isn't a partisan.

    McMaster sounds a lot like James Comey which makes him problematic when he waffles between two supposed extremes by inferring their similarities only to somehow denigrate one of the positions while exonerating the other. Him trying to boast about things trump got right was completely undone by his ultimate point that we all knew in the first place that his own ineptitude unraveled every possible sensible initiative. That's not erratic & inconsistent-it's chaotic & disqualifying-but McMaster refuses to call it a spade. And for all of the talk about how bad Biden handled the Afghanistan withdrawal Maher saved the most important irony of the fake outrage until the very end- 61 people died in Afghanistan under trump while 13 died under Biden. One is too many-but what they DIDN'T mention was Biden's administration didn't have the benefit of a peaceful transfer of power & a warm handoff from trump to get thorough briefings, and LASTLY-Biden's operation rescued 122,000 citizens. Trump never came anywhere close to that yet McMaster is hemming & hawing so that he doesn't offend the extremists in MAGA. Avlon was right-we don't need to normalize anything about us having a contested election between an honorable and accomplished prosecutor like Harris and an incompetent buffoonish & traitorous convicted rapist like trump.
