Obama should have arrested Trump for hiring illegals, and arrested Melania for working illegally years ago.

Trump's grandfather was a draft dodger who was deported from Bavaria after he tired to return. The U.S. should have deported him for his low character and running a brothel.

Putin is a thug like Trump. Both hate democracy.

I only watched foreign news when Obama was president. He was repeatedly referred to as a ROCKSTAR in foreign media and other world leaders literally rushed to be with him and take selfies. The public loved him, too.

One of the funniest videos was a compilation of a meeting of then President Sarkozy meeting with presidential candidates McCain and Obama an hour later. McCain basically got the bum's rush while Sarkozy fell all over Obama. Sarkozy met with McCain for about 5 minutes, whereas he walked outside to greet Obama, took photos, held a long press conference, took more photos, and then walked him to his car after an hour together. The contrast was hysterical. I found a short article about it. If I find the video, I'll post it.

You're the one who advocates blind allegiance which makes you cult-worthy. You're still supporting a crooked and inept politician who has killed 120,000 Americans and destroyed the economy. That by definition makes you a cult follower because you have no rational ability to criticize your cult leader even when he's doing great harm to the country. You see an "enemy" in anyone who doens't follow your cult leader.

Unlike you, I can choose which politician has the best ideas and plans for leading the country. My allegiance is to my country, not to any one leader - especially a bad one.

"Texas Lt. Governor: Old People Should Volunteer to Die to Save the Economy

According to Dan Patrick “lots of grandparents” are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause.

After doing a brief, weeklong impression of a semiresponsible human being, on Monday, Donald Trump got back to the business of being a reckless, anti-science moron, floating the idea that we should end this social-distancing business sooner rather than later in order to “save” the economy from the coronavirus.

One person who thought it was downright inspired? Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who is of the opinion that old people, i.e. those most at risk, should volunteer to die to save the economy."

and

"President Trump won seniors in 2016 but concerns over the economy and coronavirus are pushing the group to Joe Biden.

"The pandemic has turned everything upside down," Volgy says. "The elderly have been the ones who have been dying in this pandemic. When you say, 'it's time to open up,' you're saying that their lives are not that valuable anymore compared to another month or two of shutting down the economy.

What are you talking up Obama for? He's gone, and he won't be back. But from what I gather in US blogs and opinion sites, he made a right dog's dinner of the job.

And didn't you ever notice that, whenever he was giving a public address, he would keep looking left and right. Hardly ever looked directly at the camera. The reluctance or inability to look directly at the people you're talking to is a classic sign of duplicity. He had that in spades.

He knew what the public didn't know, namely that he was an outright fraud, and he despised the American people..

reply

[–] Keelai (36162) 5 years ago

You're reading the wrong blogs.

My comment about Obama was in reply to Trevor aka: Simpleton Sandy who brought him up. ALL of the past presidents showed more leadership than Trump.

Obama was likely looking at his audience in the eyes like you said. You're being silly.

Trump has just killed 120,000 Americans and wants to kill more. Trump hates the American people.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No, check out some of his addresses on yt. It's painful. You keep thinking he'll stop just once and look right at the camera, but he never does. Frankly, it's just plain bad manners. If he had half a brain, he'd know that that body language is a dead giveaway.

But then, maybe he does, and that's why he does it. When you despise someone enough, you really want them to know it.

Unlike Trumpites, protestors wore masks therefore had no impact. Republicans are spreading Trump's pandemic by not wearing masks.

I notice you don't mention the deaths are coming way down in America. Again, these riots all across America are not helping but you have no criticisms for them. Not for looting, not for burning down buildings, not for assaults, not for spreading the China virus. Nothing at all for them.

[–] Keelai (36162) 5 years ago

Hospitalizations are up in red states. Deaths are coming down because the victims are younger and treatments are better, Einstein.

Yes, but we never hear that deaths are way down. Do we? Can you explain the MSM would not relay that fact? And how come China never receives criticism for their despicable lies?

[–] Keelai (36162) 5 years ago

If Trump acted in January by showing leadership, then the virus would've been contained at that time. Cuomo and the other 49 governors would've been coordinating with the president who would've been leading. The deaths and contagion would've been a much smaller fraction with an earlier response.

I know it's been 3 1/2 years since we've had a competent president, but you couldn't have forgotten how the U.S. normally is run so quickly.

I strongly suggest you follow information from medical doctors like I do and you won't be so confused.

Don't confuse cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Those are three different stats.
Cuomo has been following the CDC guidelines and the public has cooperated by wearing masks, closing and social distancing which lead to a drastic drop in cases.

Cases are going up in Florida, Texas and Arizona because they're not following the CDC guidelines. Cases are up, but deaths will be lower since it's a younger population that is being infected in those states presently. That can change in the future if the young spread it to their older people.

Claims that Obama was weak mostly comes from bitter red states who were jealous of his leadership and legacy. The stock market crash in 2008 was not Obama's fault at all as he had just gotten elected. By 2014-2015ish (still his term),the economy was pretty much restored and jobs were coming back.

Obama was strong in the sense that he cared about the well-belong of the PEOPLE although economically he started out not so well. He tried to keep us United. Under Obama, covid-19 wouldve never gotten as poorly as it did. Dumpster didn't even pretend to care and ignored all the warnings from shutting down to mask wearing to reopening to soon.

reply

[–] kukuxu (5409) 5 years ago

Nationally, Obama was supported by 90-99% of press, press agencies, technological companies like google, facebook or twitter, academia and deep state in general. And even who dared to criticize him, he did it carefully, to avoid being labeled as 'racist'.

Internationally, that where Obama had to show he wasn't a weak leader... and he wasn't able to win or control a single conflict. China freely expanded in West Pacific, building military bases in international waters (they already stopped, that was one of first wins of Trump). Korea developed its nuclear program. Iran got what they wanted in the treaty, Middle East went completely out of control (do you remember the ISIS?), and so on and so for. Internationally, Obama was a failure.

I sure do. It's true that all presidents have their own flaws however, Donald Dumpster is by far the worst leader in the history of the US. He was already a joke when he first got elected, but this year, he hit an all time low.

The US was 10x better under Obama, Bush, and Bill Clinton. No severe pandemics outbreaks, no riots since 1992, all crisis being handled properly. Presidents putting actual people ahead of power, money, and pride. I miss those days.

Fact of the matter is, Dumpster is the #1 reason why this pandemic hit an all time high and why the US is now a laughing stock. With good leadership, we would've beat covid like other countries are currently doing. I feel like another POTUS is the only solution to this hell-hole.
