  1. Sorry, but you need to re-read the question, which was: “Please give us one example of one Republican politician dragged out of bed and taken to prison in the middle of the night. ” Roger Stone is not a politician. He has never held political office, elected or appointed.
  2. By starting the Iraq War, George Bush began the process of ending that war. The end result in Afghanistan? The Taliban took over. Trump could have pulled every American out his first day in office with the same result. Why? Because Afghanis aren’t Ukrainians. It’s just that simple. Did Trump have the very highest unemployment rate? Yes, he did. Was his any lower than Biden’s? No.
  3. What political office has Roger Stone held? You said he is a politician. And, following that arrest, he was convicted of seven felonies and sentenced to three years in prison.
  4. Biden’s staff immediately corrected his $2.99 figure as $3.99, according to your article. Yes, it was a blunder. Turns out, he doesn’t pump his own gas. Did Trump or his staff EVER EVER EVER correct anything Trump said? When he said Covfefe, his press Secretary explained that Trump’s followers understood him perfectly. We never had a President who was so self-obsessed that he refused to confess to any blunder, ever.
  5. Didn’t Trump violate a treaty with Canada by claiming that Canada voided the treaty by being a combatant in the War of 1812?
  6. Let’s begin with the very first press conference of the Trump Presidency: ”I made a speech. I looked out the field was, it looked like a million, a million and a half people…This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.” And that was only the start of the avalanche of lies these press secretaries put out. “I’ll circle back to you” is a pretty decent thing to say when somebody asks you a question and you don’t know the answer. I don’t expect anyone to know the answer to every single question anyone can ask about any subject.
  7. Pretty much everything you wrote is untrue. Let's start from the top. First thing you said is that Trump had "best unemployment rates ever." Let's look, shall we? https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm NOTICE SOMETHING: My link isn't left wing media, right wing media, or media at all. It's DATA, something Republicans utterly abhor. These are the official US Government unemployment numbers, directly from the Federal Government. Their historical figures go back to 2002. Highest unemployment rate since 2002? Trump. 14.7% Lowest unemployment rate since 2002? Biden. 3.5% Next: "World peace: Trump "ended wars Bush/Obama started." Iraq War officially ended on December 15, 2011, when Obama was President. (link, link 2) Afghanistan War ended on August 30, 2021, when Biden was President. (link) So, the first two reasons you had for loving Trump are reasons for why you should love Democrats more than Trump. Should I continue to pick off your nonsensical lies one by one? Cause, if your first two lead-off reasons are factually wrong, 180 degrees wrong, then I think we're done.
  8. No, “equally critical” is not sufficient. The GOP, starting with Reagan, and jerks like Shapiro say this: “The cause of all our economic problems is deficit spending. Elect us, and we will reduce the deficit.” They fooled you once (Reagan) They fooled you twice (Bush) They fooled you three times (Trump) Are you going to let them fool you a fourth time? Or just accept the simple truth that they are absolute liars. And, this isn’t a little white lie “gotcha”, this is their foundational policy. Every single time that Republicans hold power, they slash taxes for the rich and increase spending. Under Obama, they fully shut down the Federal government for one thing only: The restoration of the tax rate for the highest 1% of taxpayers. And the result was deficit, of course. The rich today are wealthier than they have ever been. The gulf between wealth and the poor is wider than its ever been before. The super rich are building the largest ever yachts and even their own space rockets, while the poor cannot eat.
  9. And George Bush couldn’t wait to rack up massive deficits! Before there was 9/11, he wanted to spend $2 Trillion on unproven missile defense and refurbishing all of our ICBM’s. It was so urgent!!! Then 9/11 happened, and this “urgent priority” was completely ignored.
  10. No, no, no…. Bullshit, sir. Absolutely not true. “If you disagree with my partisan slanted video then you’re wrong.” Yeah, right. You show me one video blaming Biden for deficit spending and another showing pictures of Biden and other Democrats as the cause of deficits. Shapiro claims there are two causes of inflation today, both caused by Biden, despite the fact that inflation is a global issue right now. Question One: Shapiro says Biden is paying people to stay at home and not work. Who are these people? Question Two: Shapiro says Biden’s spending causes consumers to purchase excess goods, thereby raising prices. Explain how that relates to FOOD prices? Would it be better if there were mass starvation in America, so that the people who could afford food would then pay less? Here is a simpler explanation for inflation: The global economy was virtually shut down for 18 months. Production went way, way down. Airlines laid off staff and rental car companies had to sell off their entire fleets. Petroleum production was massively cut back. Now, everybody wants to fly, rent cars and consume as much gas as before, but none of those industries can meet demand… so they simply raise prices. Biden asked Saudi Arabia to output more oil, and they refused, preferring a $100/barrel price… which isn’t very high, and so oil prices fell for 100 days in a row, and will continue to fall. You didn’t even bother to click on the link to Treasury.gov, did you? Because that will show you the facts, and then we can discuss facts and not these obviously partisan YouTube videos. You can see for yourself as an indisputable fact that, since Reagan, deficits have grown faster under Republican Presidents than under Democrat Presidents. Consistently. Democrats spend. Republican Presidents spend MORE and they slash taxes at the same time. We can then look at Federal spending in pie charts, and you will soon see that the things Democrats spend money on simply are not as expensive as the things Republicans spend money on. What’s more, there is usually far more economic benefit in the higher “butter” spending of the Democrats compared to the much higher “guns” spending of the Republicans. I would be happy to explain this to you, without the slanted, hyperbolic YouTube videos.
  11. Tell me this one single thing: Why are the Democrats “worse” at it when this year’s deficit is 1/3 of the prior two years, which were both signed by Trump, AND the deficits in Trump’s first two years were higher than the Obama deficits? Bonus question: Name the political party of the last President to sign a balanced budget. Bonus Question Two: Name the party of the Vice President who told his Treasure Secretary that, “Deficits Don’t Matter”. Data: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/national-deficit/ NOTICE that my conclusions are derived from FACT and DATA instead of stupid YouTube video nonsense. Treasury.gov publishes the actual deficit and debt figures. No BS, no spin, just the facts. Any Mike the Pillow Guy can make a YouTube video that says anything they want. That doesn’t make it true.
  12. I didn’t vote for Pence even once, but Trump supporters voted for him twice.
  13. I see political ads all the time by Republicans who blame inflation on Biden and promise to end inflation if they’re elected. But not once do they ever explain how Biden caused inflation or how they’ll stop it. Cause they don’t know. They can pretend to know, but they don’t know.
  14. Is this movie fact or fiction?
  15. Tell that to all the fire, tornado and hurricane victims, nitwit.
  16. No, you did not. The problem is that climate change is making forest fires worse than ever. Cutting down forests will only make the problem worse.
  17. You said keep a 10 km radius “clean”. Tell us WTF that means.
  18. No vegetation for five miles around all homes? By the way, His Majesty, The King God Der Furher Dictator for Life Trump was in charge of all Federal lands for four years and did absolutely none of this.
  19. The man who was convicted of seven felonies and sentenced to three years in prison? That’s your example?
  20. Two tiered in that he has committed loads of crime and isn’t in prison.
  21. Please give us one example of one Republican politician dragged out of bed and taken to prison in the middle of the night.
  22. I don’t know where to begin. If you aren’t American, then you are an enemy of the United States. Antifa isn’t even an organized group. The right wing created that boogeyman. During the BLM protests in Oakland, a Federal officer was shot and killed. Turns out, the murderer was a white supremacist called a Boogaloo Boy, who killed a man just to try to make BLM look like murderers. When sheriffs deputies tried to arrest him, he shot and killed a deputy. The January 6 riots were caused by Donald Trump, who refused to abide by the results of the election. Idiots like you still think he won, even though you idiots still haven’t been presented with any evidence of widespread voter fraud. People rioted because Trump lied to them with made up claims of voter fraud.
  23. You are full of shit and you’re a traitor to America. The police officers who got doused in bear spray and speared with flag poles thought it was in jest.
  24. How many armies do you think the government can hire to do that? It would take at least 10,000’s of people. Have you walked though any national forests? They’re massive.
  25. It’s a thread about covfefe, isn’t it?
