President Biden’s plan to deliver aid to Palestinians via a pier on the Gaza shore is being sabotaged by an inconvenient truth: Getting aid in isn’t the har...
just try searching #telaviv or #rafah. The void between the friends and enemies of Israel is far, far beyond that of the Republicans and Democrats. Today's events are represented totally differently by the two sides. Hamas knows Netanyahu does not care about optics and is easy to provoke. It is the people who suffer from this cynical move from Hamas which doesn't care about the Palestinians and Bibi who doesn't care about them either.
This is how crappy this administration is. The Infrastructure Bill was passed 4 years ago with 7.5 Billion earmarked for 500,000 EV charging stations. So far after 4 years, 8 have been built. 8!
Donald Trump is now promising to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served if he is elected President in November. In case you don't know, Ross Ulbricht ran an underground website called Silk Road where thousands of drug dealers and other unlawful vendors were able to distribute hundreds of kilograms of illegal drugs and other unlawful goods and services to more than 100,000 buyers, and to launder hundreds of millions of dollars deriving from these unlawful transactions. He was sentenced to life in prison. This is how ass backwards and hypocritical Donald Trump is - after blaming President Biden for the fentanyl crisis and overdose deaths in the United States - he now promises to pardon an internet drug lord.
First of all, you are correct:
But...you left out the context. Trump was speaking at a convention of Libertarians. Libertarians think that drugs should be legal, that their possession and use constitutes a "victimless crime."
Elsewhere, Trump has said our drug policy should follow China's, where they execute drug dealers:
In other words, he was pandering, and doing a mighty fine job of it.
As far as pointing fingers goes and governmental policy regarding drug use, here is comedian Chris Rock who nails something important (using incredibly foul language):
This is Trump in a nutshell. He tells the current crowd what they want to hear and it changes by the day and by the crowd, much of it obvious lies. He does not believe any of it himself and has no real policy or plan other than grievance and revenge. The worst of it is that his supporters will just dismiss almost anything inconsistent or negative even when it comes directly from him. Cult.

The last guy couldn’t even get an infrastructure bill passed.

Not an infrastructure bill, it is a spending and pork bill.
The United States currently has close to 10,000 “fast” charging stations in the country, of which over 2,000 are Tesla Superchargers, according to the Department of Energy.

This begs the question. Why is Trump not running on “build that wall”” anymore?
That was his cornerstone campaign policy issue in 2016. He defended it like it was his firstborn. He never spoke for 20 minutes without talking about it as the solution.
Now we hear nada. Zippo.
Can one of you Trumpers ask him about it?
Do you think it is remotely possible that it was only a bullsh!t, dog whistle grift? And they know they can’t resurrect that grift again?

Let me ask both of you a question: what would it take for you to change your mind about Trump? If you can't think of anything, then let me suggest that the candidate might not be the problem.
Trump was courting Libertarian voters, speaking in front of a crowd that was holding "Free Ross [Ulrecht]" signs. He was booed by members of the crowd I said he was pandering to, but I want to take that back. He punched back to them, telling them "Nominate me as your candidate, if you want to win....otherwise be happy with your 3-4% [of the vote, around the fraction the Libertarian Party candidate gets]." It was determined he wasn't eligible for the nomination, anyway, but what he was really doing was courting their vote. Have either of you seen Biden address a hostile crowd or ask anyone outside of his collation for votes?
scroll down to "Secure our borders..." and you'll see a picture of him standing in front of it. Why isn't he saying "Build the Wall" or even "Finish the Wall?" Because he doesn't have to. He gets way more political mileage out of pointing to his opponent's policy and claiming that it isn't working...something that even moderate democrats will agree with him on.
Now, both of you seem to have made up your mind about Trump...which is fine. But I have a very hard time taking your claims about his supporters at face value. Because they suggest that two easily explainable non-issues should convert Trump supporters into Biden supporters, when there is a very clear choice here, since the candidate have very different views on key issues.
Again...the question I have for both of you: what would Trump have to do or say to win your vote?

All due respect, JustMe22, you're trying to be sophisticated in your analysis and approach, but missing the mark. Your highlighted comment about it nothing cutesy nothingness. Trump has been proving his utter unfitness for the job since 2015. It's the candidate. It's Trump.
You've seen the lists. The criminality, the quotes, COVID response, kissing dictators, the crowd of felon friends, the prominent people who know him well who speak to his horrors, etc., etc., etc.
No one needs to provide you with one more shred of evidence for why they'd vote for nearly anyone other than Trump.
You wanna talk about why other morans DO want to vote for Trump? Have at it. THAT is an interesting and terribly depressing subject.
