We as a people are better off because our internal enemies have moved out of the shadows and now clearly identified themselves.  Ordinary folks are now seeing the impacts of the the insidious disease

Considering the pandemic, if you can really call it that, and the economic fallout associated with that, combined with racial tensions, its hard to say Americans are better off.     The real

And done ✅ 

I am here to spread left wing nonsense and divide and conquer themes because it works very well. People lose the minute they try to debate me because I will always attack identity on a superficial level while ignoring the universal ties that bind us. I hate America if I don't get paid by the tax payers at the point of a gun. Pay those taxes and obey your government or else we will act a fool.

 

You've chosen to ignore content by Reality Check. Options

Thanks - didn't realize this was an option until your post. Seeing his posts today how is that user not banned?

 

I feel like you already know this, but - welcome to the wild west.  Both political factions do it here; mods just avoid this cesspool.  Proceed at your own risk!

Are you new to PPP? There are a few things that will get you banned down here including threatening other members, starting a call out thread on another member,  and a few other oddball things.  Quoting someone obnoxiously (sorry @Reality Check  it is obnoxious), trolling, posting stupidity, generally do not qualify. For that, the ignore option works the best.  Unfortunately, even if you use the ignore option you will still see it when someone else quotes the person you have on ignore.

Notice the word “we.”  I say no.  Obviously no.  Too many unnecessary, avoidable deaths.  Too much insecurity.  Too much economic malaise in the middle and lower classes.  Not enough federal leadership.  What say you?

 

*And I acknowledge that if the word “you” was used instead of “we,” the answer might be different for some.  If you have the money to be in the market and you know what you’re doing, you very well may be better off now.  But that’s only a fraction of Americans, and we are all in this together. So, the question remains, are “we” better off now than we were four years ago?

 

The economy was doing great until the Chinese released the virus - (intentionally IMHO) The US was & is trying to make most other countries play on a level playing field & stop doing things like giving more money to institutions like the UN than any other country plus they were trying to make the country more secure and still are I believe .

 

Given all the "politically correct BS" in the US and the hate for a Pres. that speaks his mind weather you like it or not (and sometimes i really don't) but then throw in the never Trumper's the Pres. ain't got a chance of any of the left that will say or look at any thing he does with any positive light on it . Because he's not following and won't follow the script of the crooked politicians in Washington !! 

 

I've told some of my friends that make it very apparent that they hate the Pres. that he could walk up to them & give them a bar of gold & they would B word that it ain't shiny enough ! 

 

But to those that continue to think those like Cuomo, Diblasio, Schumer along with other den run city officials like those in Portland or Seattle have your best interest at the fore front of their thought process and could do a better job is a total fantasy !! People are leaving NYC, Seattle, Portland, & Cali as fast as they can because of the great leadership in those places . 

 

 

 

But to answer your question as a whole yes i believe that before the virus the country was doing much better over all .

is bigoted and that is a fact 

 

Did he say white supremacy is bad? (and mean it?)

 

Tell everyone, please, how you are individually and especially capable of determining when Trump does or doesn't 'mean it' when he speaks against white supremacy.

 

Also, please provide two or three samples of him being a bigot. Try to avoid using the "very fine people" line from Charlottesville that has been repeatedly debunked.

 

Aaaaaaand GO!

Who should know more about the individual needs of each state better than the local government?  A national policy doesn't take into consideration the individual needs, demographics or differing requirements.  

Your problem is that you have tunnel vision.  The hate Trump mentality limits the ability to see the forest through the trees.

Do you really believe one man is responsible for the culmination of several decades of sewing what we are seeing today?  A stronger argument can be made that this culmination of events is exactly what brought Trump into the office.  If things were going well, he wouldn't have stepped into the position.  

Disliking the way Trump conducts himself, or not liking his polices is one thing, but calling him a coward just shows a tremendous lack of understanding.  Love him, or hate him, he has taken on some of the most powerful organizations in the world, and doesn't back down.  Most of the former presidents who have taken on such groups have been on the receiving end of a bullet.  I'm pretty sure you are OK with that given the moral high ground you stand on, but its pure ignorance to suggest he is a coward.  

 

 

To summarize, you don't even understand what a national policy even means.
