Jesus, their hypocrisy is infuriating.🤬

u/GrandMind4602 18d ago

Uh-huh, because the left-wing media are not hypocrites at all, and change their opinions based on who’s in the white house xD

Where in my statement did I say that the left are perfect? Or is your brain filled with sawdust?

u/GrandMind4602 18d ago

It is heavily implied if you find that “infuriating”… you’re either retarded, or don’t know how the media works

Is anything in that video a lie? Or am I not allowed to feel incensed about a particular topic? Or are you just crazy? Which one is it?

Why do you assume that there's a need to accept hypocrisy from either wing? If you consider the 'left-wing' media hypocritical and denounce them for that reason, that's fine. But by that same standard, you should also denounce the right-wing media quoted here. No?

I agree, they’re all cunts in one way or another.

But given a choice between Kamala & Trump - for me Trump is the lesser of two evils by a LONG shot

u/Barlon__Mrando 18d ago

Trump's evil is clear, as he prides himself with it. What would Kamala's evil have looked like, you think?

u/GrandMind4602 18d ago

Much worse than this, just look at the past 4 years

u/Barlon__Mrando 17d ago

That could be slightly more specific, I think. So for Trump we currently have at least the following evils:

1) Threatening and implementing far-reaching tariffs on allies, which lead to general insecurity in the market and also risk a larger economic downturn. 2) Introducing and rug pulling memecoins for himself, his family, and acquaintances. 3) Ignoring court orders and, as such, defying the rule of law and separation of powers. 4) Allowing people without proper vetting basically unlimited access to sensitive personal data of all US citizens. 5) Repeating threats to invade allies, such as Greenland, Panama, and Canada. 6) Praising dictators such as Putin for strong leadership. 7) Expressing a wish to have closer ties with Russia, which is well known historically to be the main geopolitical adversary of the USA. 8) Ordering to loosen the grip on Russian cyberattacks. 9) Calling the democratically elected president of a country invaded by Russia a dictator. 10) At least temporarily stopping aid to that country, which allowed Russia to push back soldiers on the defensive.

So with this in mind, what do you think would have been worse under Kamala?

All of the above

I was hoping to get an honest response to understand your view, but your reply doesn't make sense. I'm sure you know that. It's a shame you don't see an issue with being intellectually dishonest.

would you say you're satisfied with his presidency so far?

-1

u/GrandMind4602 18d ago

I am. The guy’s doing exactly what he said he would for months before coming into office.

It’s your fault for not believing him while he campaigned.

he stopped the ukraine war within 24 hours?

link?

how do you interpret the video we are commenting on?

2

u/AutisticFingerBang 17d ago

He promised an incredible economy and egg prices down immediately. I see neither of those things. He promised to end the wars over seas. Hasn’t done that. wtf has he done? Shredded the federal government with 0 congressional oversight, whole alienating us from allies and creating one of the biggest trade wars we’ve ever faced? The budget added trillions, while CUTTING healthcare and social security to give billionaires tax cuts. How is any of that good or what he ran on?

u/ProfessionalPay5892 17d ago

He promised an end to Ukraine in 24 hours, deportation of all 11 million undocumented immigrants, promised a comprehensive infrastructure plan, lower grocery prices on day 1, reduce the national debt, eliminate birthright citizenship, release JFK files, expand the border wall.
Accomplished none of these, but at least those 11 trans can't compete in sports and English is the national language.
