Yeah...I think that frames it up fairly well, desky.
I respectfully disagree. Trump has been saying pretty much the same things since the 80's. There's been some slight variations in time and place, but essentially his message has been fairly constant. That message has been and is today that we had some horrible leaders that have sold out America because they think of themselves first before the nation. He has predicted for quite some time that America will capitulate to an unrecognizable bureaucracy where there is little accountability resulting in a pointing finger parade...a mammoth hairball of indecision and deeper entrenchment of the status quo. Yes, he supported candidates I would rather dismiss, but mostly support for these candidates stemmed from a hope that they could make a positive impact....that never happened. Whether it's ego or genuine concern for the USA, matters not to me because the end result could be the same, he decided someone had to do the heavy lifting.Trump flip flops all the time. You name it, and he has been on the other side and back again on his stance. History books will not have positive things to say about him.
John Wiley Price is seen by most Joe Public as an agitator and community organizer to stoke the fires of racial disharmony. There is a deeper, more intense resentment from both sides of the race issue that may have improved otherwise without his presence. He is definitely a political genius. To me it is a shame that he did not turn the division lines light gray instead of bold black...he had the talent to do so....so why didn't he? Originally Posted by 2short@desky

Writing too much stuff on this thread about our MAGA Potus could annoy a provider-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken and get this little ditty exiled to Icky's black hole.

Even I thought he was going to lose but he ran a perfect campaign and won. John Wiley Price is a racist piece of shit. John Wiley Price is certainly a criminal but he will never do time because his "people" will always support his thug ways. Price has been a scourge on Dallas politics for decades. Price is also very wealthy and he has fucked over plenty of contractors and employees. However, Price has never missed a payment to his underworld protectors. JWP is nothing like Donald Trump. Trump actually loves America. JWP hates America especially "White America". Originally Posted by Mavs fanThanks for you reply Mavs Fan.

Not saying I'm better or jealous. I just don't subscribe to the "Trump" philosophy of money
Trump's father was a multi-millionaire. President Trump is a multi-billionaire. He didn't increase his family fortune by being stupid. Originally Posted by Mavs fanYou're correct about that part. Being stupid caused him to lose most of his family's money. He would have more money today had he just sat his money in an index fund.

History books will not have positive things to say about him.Grean, to a degree you are correct about Trump flip-flops. Anyone in the public eye is guilty of this. What is important is the overall intent of mission versus the availability of political expediency. These things change the immediate snapshot some but not the panoramic picture. As an example, Lincoln really didn't care all that much about the slavery issue. He was against it yes, but reluctantly, he didn't care if slavery was abolished or not. His primary objective was continuation of the Union. If he could woo the South back into the Union and they keep slavery he may have done just that and settle the issue later. However, when it became politically expedient he announced The Emancipation Proclamation and came out forcibly against it. Many do not understand that wrapped up in all this was the Morrill Tariff of 1861, which was the main pocketbook issue of the Southern rebellion, as slavery was actually beginning to decline as feasible.
Your spot on about JWP, whatever he is really like, he displays something different. He may do very good things for his community. He is shady as hell, though.
I think it was the prosecutions mishandling of the case that got him off recently. I dont think it was because he out smarted anyone. Originally Posted by grean

Case in point, JFK "Our tax system still siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power and reduces the incentive for risk, investment and effort--thereby aborting our recoveries and stifling our national growth rate." The point is that the Demos have moved far left and Trump really hasn't. JFK would have laughed at many of the things the previous administration did.
2Short, you sir, have a certain talent for making me trail off topic. Lol.
First, the notion that free labor ( a.k.a slavory) was becoming infeasible is ridiculous. The south would take a enormous hit to their profit margin had they paid for the labor they got free from slaves. The south had a heavy agricultural economy. How was the feasibility of slavory declining in any way?
The southern states seceded because Lincoln, without carrying any southern state, won the election and because of the south's fear that he would end slavory. He said they couldn't secede. They said F you, Lincoln. We sure as hell can so just try to stop us. Lincoln said ok, watch this. Boom. Civil War.
It's simply fiction that the civil war was over anything but slavory.
As far as trump's flip flops, the overall intent of the mission of Republicans is quite different than that of democrats. Trump was a registered Democrat for how long prior to this election? Ideological differences between dems & gop aren't few. Originally Posted by grean

True, slavery was the bigger issue, but at that point before secession the South perceived the Morrill Tariff as a direct and immediate assault on their livelihoods...the South felt threatened from two positions, both of which they felt unrepresented in the Union which to them violated their state sovereignty. That's my story and I'm sticking to it Originally Posted by 2short@desky
