However Trump may end up being, Harris was going to be much worse, hands down. There was so much deep seeded corruption and chaos in the last administration and I feel like we don't know most of how bad it really was just yet. If you want to ask if people regret picking Trump in the primary, it may be a valid point, but there is almost no one who voted for Trump who is saying "Gee, I sure wish I picked Harris instead". The country rightfully got rid of the Biden/Harris two headed monster. Whether or not it goes from bad to good or bad or another type of bad remains to be seen, but any chance under Trump was better than the 0% chance of turning things around that we would have had under Harris

No, the problem was that you had a democrat party that did nothing for the people, catered to the elite instead of the blue collar workforce, and lied to everyone for four years about many things including a good economy and the mental capacity of the President. Next, they proceeded to pick Harris (who was seen by everyone including dems as a useless airhead)once the lie about Biden was impossible to cover without any selection process and ran on nothing but how bad the other part won. They made things so unappealing that anyone else looked like a better option, even Donald Trump. The only reason why Trump is less unpopular than last time is because he is cleaning up the mess left by Biden. No sir, your party, legacy media and people like you are the problem that got us here.

Seeing that the libs and legacy media were making excuses for Biden three years into his regime, I think that it might be only fair to give Trump more than two months. If not, than the media has no business crediting Biden instead of Trump if things get better within the next few months, you can't have it both ways.

Trump has done some things that I don't like, but I have no remorse. However bad Trump may be, I have no doubt in my mind that Harris was going to be worse. We could not have handled four more years of Biden's continued policies and the least transparent regime of all time. It will take a few years for everyone to realize just how bad Biden and Harris were. As far as Trump, It is what it is and I would rather have some good things and some bad things with transparency than nothing good with lying and gaslighting.

Nope, I literally wanted to find a neutral article to form my own opinion., calm the hell down. Have some damn patience and stop calling people names like an angry little boy. It was hard to find an article about it that didn't appeal to emotion with rage baiting and sob stories, but Newsweek came close to having a balanced neutral summary. https://www.newsweek.com/are-veterans-benefits-being-cut-trump-va-cuts-explained-2031047 My opinion, I don't like it. I understand eliminating red tape, but the VA seems understaffed as it is. I would have rather seen them make the VA run more effectively first before considering cutting. My hope is that it leads eventually leads to a more effective replacement but as of now, this is in the same category as "gulf of America" where I don't agree and think that it is quite dumb. This does not means that I think Harris would have better and this doesn't mean that I am going to make a daily TDS post like a jaded ex. Now that this is done here is some advice. Grow the hell up, be more respectful in your interaction and don't ever call me a coward again. You would not have the balls to say that face to face to someone and you know it.

Nope, I will look at it when I do. I am not going to give an opinion until I know for sure what parts of your statement were twisted and taken out of context. You see, because I am not either progressive or MAGA, I try to carefully form an opinion instead of letting my favorite news station form it for me.

Of course that sounds horrible, but I am sure that there is some missing context in your deflection. I would have to look more into it and read neutral sources before I could give a final opinion.

Now that you've given us Rachel Maddow's opinion, what are your own thoughts on the topic?

Who had "Suckers and losers" on the TBD TDS crew bingo card?

This is precisely how more than half of the country feels about progressives and the legacy media, but that doesn't stop them from preaching their gospel of chaos and mediocrity every day.

This is what happens when people out there still believe the legacy media is credible. There will be another election race between two new people business as usual in four years. Don't let the TDS fear monger media make you think that their exaggeration and ten year smear campaign is actual news. Edit: Don't get me wrong, I am not 100% for Trump. I am happy with the deportations for now, but hope that he doesn't try to extend it to dreamers. The jury is out on DOGE, (love the concept, but don't fully trust Musk) and the gulf of America is sheer idiocy. I do think that it would have been worse under Harris and the most of the hate for Trump comes from the media.

Point to the part of the doll where Trump touched you. Seriously, you are obsessive. Its fine you you don't like Trump, but you seem to have let it consume you 24/7. Please, for your own benefit, get help.

Of course. Also don't forget that he hired Fauci to do that because he is racist against chickens. Trump also did absolutely nothing about inflation between January of 2021 and January of 2025. It's ALL his fault! Also member, inflation is Trump's fault now, but if it gets better in the spring, we can only credit Biden's past policies because Biden had the "best economy ever!!!!!!" Orange man bad cause the news says!

Dems under Biden "Inflation is global, its only been three years, give it time" Dems under Trump "Eggs have been skyrocketing in price for the last three months, and trump has been for a whole month, impeach him!!!!"

The least talented player to start a game that I can remember was Justin Rogers at CB. During a game against the Jets where they gave up around 300 yards passing, Rogers was responsible for something like 260 of them. I would not answer him as worst of all time though because he was a 7th round pick in a starting role because of multiple injuries. Joe Dufek and Bruce Mathison at QB between Ferguson and Kelly could also be considered here. My choice for worst player would have to be Aaron Maybin. Some players like Peterman, Bennie Anderson and JP Losman at least played well enough to earn and extended starting role at some point. Others like Justin Rogers, Keith Ellison and Jeff Tuel were Practice Squad caliber players at best thrust into a starting role. Maybin was a first round draft pick who could not even get on the field. I forgot where i heard it, but it was understood that had he not been their first rounder, than he would have likely been cut in the first season. He was not only bad, but had a poor attitude and work ethic. When you consider how much of a need DE was and how he could not see the field on a defense that was giving up 30-40 points a game nearly every week, that makes this the clear obvious choice in my opinion.

CNN, and NBCNews use the same philosophy. Who cares if it is fake? Even if we retract it, the masses believe that it is real, the intent was fulfilled.

Is anything that I said inaccurate? Be honest when you answer that. I have no problem with an adult living their life as they choose, I just think that it is silly for most people to pretend that a man who decides to live as a woman is the same as a biological woman when they would most likely see it as a deal breaker in the dating scene. What about you? If you found yourself single and looking, and found out that a potential match was a Trans-Woman instead of biological one, would you still be interested? Regardless of the answer that you may reply with, only you know the real one.

The funniest thing about the trans movement is that 95 percent of the guys who say that a trans-woman is a woman would change their tune really fast if they ran into a Sheena/Funky Cold Medina situation. It is all virtue signaling and a desire to conform with the swarm

Agreed, Biden definitely was not leading. Any average person with his level of cognitive decline at the end, would have no doubt been in a full care nursing home. Trump for better or worse has been more active in the first month than Biden's four years combined. In retrospect, I feel a little bad for Biden. What his party did to him was elder abuse.

Biden's legacy will be the second worst President of all time behind James Buchanan, unless there is a civil war within the next year, then he would be the worst.

I think that it would physically kill him or some of the others here to ever admit that Trump did something right. That is what years of media conditioning does. It is very hard for people to learn to look at direct sources and form their own opinion. Most think that they have their own opinion, but when pressed have no more than "they are saying" I saw an article", "The news says" or at best, "muh research" which is googling for the top result that fits your narrative. When you have legacy media outlets lying and campaigning for one party for over a decade, this is the end result.

That's fair. I don't fully trust musk either. What i would ideally like to see is a shift to a bipartisan search (although I doubt the dems would cooperate) and transparency to the point where every single thing is viewable to the public. That would be enough to help offset the potential of Musk or Trump taking things too far with power in this. I understand a stance like "I just don't trust Musk/Trump to do it fairly." What annoys me is irrational thoughts acting as if overspending isn't a problem and the media purposely lying about this affecting social security. Overall, I would have much rather seen Trump than Harris, but don't care for him either. Given the choice, I decided that I would prefer a President who runs his mouth like an idiot, but actively works hard with an intent to improve the US than one who gives fuzzy happy platitudes, but does absolutely nothing. There is a slight chance that he goes off the rails, but I trust that if him or Musk were to ever get too power hungry, that enough Republicans would shift and get him out.

To the libs out there protesting DOGE like it is the end of the world. Do you think that the US has been inefficient in their spending over the past few decades? Is DOGE terrible to you because of who is behind it or what it consists of? If Obama or Biden did this, would you have still been against it? Personally, I can say that some things go beyond politics. I am fine with this regardless who the president is. Same way that I was glad to see Biden put through an infrastructure bill (despite the climate scheme pork.) No President is 100% good or 100% bad. Financial accountability and transparency in the government was desperately needed and the spending leaking out has proven it. Edit: One last request. They aren't going after our Social security, every cabinet member for any president is unelected and some wasteful spending was definitely uncovered, so don't play those three cards and give sensible replies only.

Three weeks into the term, it's already Trump's fault, but Biden needed more time after three years. This thread is so poorly written and obviously easy to disprove that it must be trolling. Edit: Nvm, I see who the OP is. It's trolling.
