Stalin had power because the Russian people feared him.


Trump has power due to his pre-political popularity and name familiarity which coupled to his frat boy campaign antics bamboozled the electorate.


He didn’t bamboozle anyone. The electorate was only given two real choices. The woke Democrat party’s failure on the border, crime, inflation, XY in women’s sports, racist DEI policy, tolerate antisemitism, minimum wage explosion, demonizing billionaire philosophy, the ‘squad’ ideology, coverup of Biden’s decline, lawfare, etc….

You can make your own list of Trump’s problems. The electorate chose him over the Dems.

Why didn't the republicans put forth a more moderate, level-headed candidate?

Why a buffoon, a cartoon caricature of a human being?

Amazing!

You feel you have better political judgment than Liz Cheney who actually campaigned against Trump. Realistically, that's what she was doing. She had nothing to gain by going against Trump.

Sounds like you are saying Biden is the one that bamboozled the electorate.

Like McCain? Romney? Moderates rarely win. To paraphrase Limbaugh, go to the library and find the book "Great Moderates in American History."

With Joe Biden it's only going to get worse, when the rats start writing the books about day to day life in the White House and who really made the decisions.

Yep, in 100 years, Joe Bidet's presidency will be considered a joke (heck, the smart people already know it's in the toilet lol). He'll be right down there with Jimmy Carter.........OR he'll be totally forgotten like Millard Fillmore and Chester Arthur. 😂

Boy do you have a short memory. Don't you remember all those people who were running for president on the Republican side in 2016? And how Trump bulldozed them all in the debates. Have you forgotten about low energy Jeb Bush, and little Marco Rubio, and all the other clever names he had for his opponents. He beat them all with humor and brilliance that's how he got elected. As far as getting elected the second time that was even easier, people knew what they were getting with Trump and they knew what they had already had with Biden and camel face. It was easy peasy.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It's a shame that we've taken a liking to demagogues.

Will he wind up like Mussolini?

You are just so sad. The residents who train here almost to a man ( and woman) want to stay here! It is just not so easy due to the rules in place. Many are in this position…. work in an ‘underserved’ area (euphemism for slum) or go back. Most stay anyway. They come here as interns and residents because we train them the best. Show me a list of American doctors that want to train anywhere but the USA. YOU CAN’T.

In summary, they go back to Canada because they HAVE TO.

As I’ve mentioned before, I can assure you this ‘anti-immigrant’ doctor has hired more immigrants than you have. It was easy. I trained them. In training, you can tell who the good ones are versus the bad ones. Other than if it was legal because of their visa status, I NEVER cared about if they were born here or not. Just how good a doctor they were.

Anti-worker? If that’s what you call allowing private businesses the right to set rules for their workers so that the business can run efficiently, I guess I’m anti-worker. Thanks for reminding me of another reason the Democrats suck.

Anti-woman? I don’t know how you even get there? I’m ‘pro abortion’, to the point I was one of the (about1/2) of my partners who would anesthetize those in need for the procedures. I’d hire women throughout my career as well. Supported female politicians. Participated in transgender surgeries. (Could opt out if you wanted to).
Oh, you call me anti-woman because I don’t think those born male should compete in women’s sports?

As I’ve said before, arguing with you is too easy. I need ams back!


You are anti-immigrant because you said so yourself, except for ones with money or have the potential to make money. You are anti-woman because you are against family leave especially against leave for prenatal and postpartum care. You are anti-worker because you are against workplace safety, fair pay and a whole host of protections and laws that keep workers safe in the workplace and fair and compensation fair. Go ahead, tell me what workplace pay laws and safety laws and paid and unpaid leave laws you wish to abolish. Unless the answer is "none", you argue best when you argue my point.

If you practiced in my hospital, I'd more than earn my pay calling you out on your practice.

Hmmm

Quote:
Donald Trump announced the surprise creation of a powerful new government agency that will collect billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs from foreign countries.

‘I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources,’ Trump wrote on social media.


He certainly has no problem expanding government.
