They're on the same team of course they both enjoy war. War is good for business.

Vote Biden in and you'll just get more of the same. Twice I've voted for Hope and Change, twice I was fooled.

Edit: I don't think it's fair to say Trump started a war with the middle east because it was a continuation of Obama, Bush's, and Clinton's wars. I'm not Trump supporter but he's done a good job of not starting wars. He's done more for peace in Korea than any President before him. Of course they called him a warmonger for even speaking to the North Korea leaders.
 
^ sure. it was a very unscientific, rushed list.

but my point is that saying the democrats are the masters of war doesn't really hold up to even a cursory examination...

You'd need to compile a list of Congress in those years to see which party is really the warmongers. I'm sure you'd just discover they're both happy to vote for it whenever someone is paying them enough money. The President is typically just a scapegoat for whatever Congress is doing.
 
More on dexamethasone:
While this commonly used drug is generally safe, there are a range of known side effects. "By far, the most common is hypoglycemia, so that's where your blood sugars will shoot up," Gounder said.

Also quite common, especially among older patients are a range of psychiatric side effects, she added.

"Anything from feeling like you're on top of the world ... your arthritic aches and pains of age just melt away, you have lots of energy," she said. "There may be some grandiosity."

The drug can also cause agitation, insomnia and even, psychosis, Gounder said. "My own father was treated with high-dose steroids as part of his lymphoma regimen and developed acute psychosis requiring psychiatric hospitalization."

Fantastic drug, feel better than I have in 30 years, we have incredible pharmaceuticals and fantastic people developing them. We could charge a lot of money for these but believe me we're going to make sure the American people get it for free. This morning I signed an executive order to fast track new drugs like this one. We're going to make pharmaceuticals great again and beat this horrible China virus. Look at how China is handling this virus, it's a total disaster, very sad!

That was a poem from a commie that's been so far taken out of context that ppl like you think it's fact.
NO country can support taking in the most unhealthy poor the shitholes this world offers and be solvent. Why should I be paying for endless bums from everywhere?

You either make no money and pay no taxes, or are living off of mommy and daddy. Because if you did you'd realize you are subsidizing ppl that will never change and in nearly all cases fail by choice.
 
Trump is still on Rush Limbaugh taking questions. The last link I posted kept cutting to commercials but I found a good stream of it on youtube:

I swear I don't usually watch this show. Lots of sound bites I've heard that aren't going to go over well with people that hate the president. Worth tuning in for he's being very candid about what his plans are and what he thinks of the Democrats, China, the Middle East, and lots of issues. They're taking open questions and call-ins soon. If you want to ask him something you might be able to get on the air.
 
Does anyone actually believe a 74 year old obese man is healthy? He could be dying and his ego is to big to even sneeze.
I watched a documentary on trump last night (figure if i am going to discuss him, try to figure him out)

How did he get voted in? Every business failed, he made money by suing people and his dad.
All his personal faults aside if you can't run a business who would trust you to run a country

Is he injecting uv rays and drinking bleach

Well you see, trump had a reality TV show where he appeared to be a hugely successful businessman. And a lot of Americans are stupid and believe everything they see on TV ;)

But to be fair. Most people didn't vote for him, trump lost by a small margin in the 2016 popular vote. It's just the US system was designed hundreds of years ago and doesn't work quite the way it was supposed too.

The framers assumed that if circumstances changed as years passed, the people would use referendums to change the system as needed. But they may have underestimated how people would wind up deifying them and therefore refusing to change the system even when it's clearly not working properly.

It's a really good question. He was a popular reality TV star, and Americans are idiots. Oh, and some people in his team were very busy working on his public image as God's chosen to lead the fight against abortion rights. That was a deliberately fostered image for a number of years. And today, there are a great many Evangelical Christians in America who all say roughly the same thing: "I believe God can choose a flawed vessel to do His work. I don't agree with a lot of his personal actions, but I believe he has been chosen by God to end abortion. When it comes down to it, forcing all women to bend to my religion's beliefs about whether or not abortion is a sin is the most important issue we face and I will never, under any circumstances, vote for anyone who does not oppose abortion, no matter what, period."
