What kind of man doesn’t pay his bills?

President Trump loves prosperity gospel preachers -- he recognizes the shrewd game of hustling their flock. It's a kinship. But as far as Jesus Christ and Donald Trump? I've read the New Testament and I've witnessed Trump for the last many number of years. I thought Christians, while they are certainly sinners as everyone else, were supposed to be "Christ-like". I just do not see the Christ-like, repentant behavior from him. Donald Trump makes no attempt to reconcile his pathological lying. He's a conman.

If you don't like pathological conmen, you must not like any politicians. See, I know Biden is a liar too, but it doesn't cause me to be hateful towards him or his supporters.

Biden hasn’t ever called for the arrest and jailing of his political opponents. Biden hasn’t ever called our free and fair elections fraudulent.

I have no doubt Biden that is a liar. He’s human, after all. But he’s also the much better person to head the executive branch.

So it matters what a person lies about? Calling our elections "free and fair" doesn't make it true. I'm not gonna start an argument about that, you believe what you believe about it. What if your political opponents actually deserved to be in jail? It still wouldn't be ok to say it?

There's no doubt that Trump upset the power structure. It's clear to me that pretty much all the anti-Trump rhetoric being repeated in the establishment echo chambers is a direct result of the fact that Trump wasn't "supposed to" win. As such, most of the negative feelings people have towards Trump is a direct result of the establishment response to Trump.

A strong government has its good points, but a government that is too strong, or working in lock step with corporations, is a threat to individual liberty. Anyone who stands with or for the establishment is never going to be good for the individual. You may feel like a winner because "your team" won, it's caused by a rush of dopamine in the brain.

But while you identify as a Democrat against Republicans, the teams are not divided that way. It's the rulers vs the riff raff. As crude, self-promoting, and narcissistic as he was, Trump was more on the riff raff team than a vast majority of politicians. With the status quo being restored to the power structure we have all lost while the rulers continue to win.

LOL
So you think that a man who has bad memory problems is best suited to head the executive branch.

With all due respect, you're flying way off track with this discussion and assuming way too much about my political ideology and why I am unpleased with Donald Trump as president.

Donald Trump displayed fascistic traits common to the authoritarians who :censored2: all over their democracies and institutions and elections.

Calling for the arrest and jailing of his political opponent with no proof. Barr, as head of the DOJ, wouldn't be his little lapdog in this respect.

Calling the media "the enemy of the people". That's beyond ridiculous and just the thing a fascist does.

Calling our elections fraudulent just because he lost.

He never broke through 50% job approval in 4 freaking years and you're surprised he lost by millions in the popular vote and by enough in the battleground states to turn the election to Joe Biden? That's delusion.

Donald Trump is a fascist and was only held in check by our stronger-than-average rules.

You only believe he is fascist because you have been indoctrinated with that belief. Calling the media out on their lies is not fascist. You don't actually seem to know the definition of fascism. Anyone who supports the establishment over the individual rights is a fascist.

He was called authoritarian from day 1 because he was replacing people in government positions, which is the prerogative of the President, and something every President does.

You believe what you want about the election, I'm not going to change your mind. Biden was on national television confessing to the very thing Trump was impeached for, and confessing to giving favors to his campaign contributors. If that's not evidence, I don't know what is.

A dictator would just make his opponents disappear.

What's ridiculous is that he is correct.
I read all kinds of media. The media is competition with each other to get a scoop and to get the story right, because, believe it or not, there's still a decent portion of Americans who are interested in hearing valid stories. But I understand. Go back to the echo chambers of 4chan and OANN and that nonsense if you want.

Oh, Trump would have loved to make his opponent disappear. And the truth-seeking media. That's why he called for Joe Biden to be arrested during the campaign. We're done here. You are blind as hell.

Sure they are.
I understand. Go back to the echo chambers of CNN and NPR and that nonsense if you want.
CNN has been hard on Democrats. NPR reports on stories that damage their donors (Facebook, Google, etc.).

It's called journalistic integrity. Are they perfect? Hell no. But I also read Reuters and AP, etc. I'm sorry you're so indoctrinated into Trumpism. Hope you can find a way out.

If he was an authoritarian dictator, it would have happened. I know logic and facts can be hard to digest when you're used to being force fed lies non-stop. You can be done, but I suspect you won't be.

China has always had jobs. I don’t need your “history” lesson. The debate is whether capitalist countries have a wider wealth gap than Marxist. You keep changing the argument. And in the year 2021, I would say Capitalism has a wider wealth disparity as there are no examples of Marxist nations. You’re arguing, just to argue.
And why do you think there are no Marxist countries? It doesn't work!
