Turning into their own worst enemy

True story - That idiot FDR let nazi infiltrators get into ivy league places like Harvard and get jobs as professors. . .and here we are today. . .

FDR is such a better president then Trump I hope you know everyone agrees basically with that

FDR was one of the absolute worst presidents. He locked up innocent Americans of Japanese, German and Italian ancestry. He took the depression started because Herbert Hoover didn't know how to handle the economy. FDR turned that depression into the Great Depression and made it last for 10 years. He told pig farmers to kill off their hogs to drive the price of bacon up to help the pig farmers, except now the pig farmers had no pigs to sell.

His National Recovery Act (NRA) was called by the blacks the "Negro Removal Act" because of how it made it nearly impossible for them to earn a living. Everyone else he forced to work an 8 hour day so that no one earned more money than they needed to, this was while everyone needed is much money as they could get their hands on just to eat.

There was nothing good about FDR. The only one who might have been worse was Woodrow Wilson. Right up there with them are LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama and especially Biden.

Where’s Trump on there?

If Trump 2.0 can do even half of what he campaigned on I would put Trump up there with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. I don't think that will happen because the Democrats block him with every step he takes. The Dems have shut the government down because they want taxpayers to pay for healthcare for people who are not citizens of this nation.

Considering that all of the other nations with nationalized healthcare are on the verge of collapse just caring for their own citizens then just think what giving anyone in the world who wants it, free healthcare will do? Nations with free government run healthcare have extremely long waiting lists. They have fewer and fewer doctors because doctors can't pay their bills on what the government pays them. Canada has come right out and is now asking citizens who are not terminally ill to go for assisted suicide to help offset the cost of their healthcare system. People with serious conditions most of the time die on the waiting lists for treatment.

All governments are incompetent boobs. They do not operate on the model of the customer comes first. They all operate on the model that if a policy is failing then the only solution is to increase taxes until it stops failing. They don't care why it is failing they just want to throw more money at it. Cancelling a failed policy is beyond their ability to reason. And as it turns out ALL of the leftists policies fail. Every single one of them. Social Security pays out more than they take in and this is even AFTER Trump took the millions of people who were over the age of 120 off the Social Security roles. The poverty rate before welfare was at 40%. In the 60 years that welfare has been in operation, the poverty rate not once dropped below 40%. What did welfare fix? Nothing. Absolutely nothing and we still just throw money at it hoping it will get better. If any politician tries to come up with a more efficient solution then the crabs-in-the-bucket Democrats scream that the Republicans are trying to "steal" your money or take "your money" away. The same money stolen from the taxpayers, either present or worse, future taxpayers who haven't even been born yet. Our future generations have been enslaved with the debts of the current and previous generations of Democrats.

Democrats haven't been blocked anything that Trump does. That's why they're in trouble with their base, because they haven't done anything to stop him.

Of all things they decide to pick a fight over is the shutdown. They should just get on with it, and let things go as the Republicans wanted. Let insurance rates go up, perhaps people will get a clue and see that the Republicans are out to screw everything up for them. Really all the Democrats are doing it trying to save face for the Republicans. The ones who are going to have to pay more for insurance or the ones that could afford it anyways, and they just so happen to be the biggest voting block. What a better way to give them a hint than through their wallets.

You must want me to type a long text just to give you something to read? Nah... I'm too sleepy right now. Plus the fewer words I type the less chance I have of misspelling a word or making a grammatical error. Because, as you know, I never proof read my comments before posting.

No wall of text needed, just name a couple of Trump things that Democrats blocked.

Even in his first term, after the midterms, Pelosi and Schumer offered Trump 1.85 billion dollars for his Mexican wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Pelosi and Schumer. 1.85 billion dollars. Trump's wall.
He refused it because he said it wasn't enough.

You know how much money his Republicans offered him in is first two years before the Democrats took over Congress with the midterms? $0. $0 the GOP offered Trump for his precious little wall. $0. GOP. $0.

Democrats are nothing but Republican lite, pretending that if they go along in the name of civility and compromise then in the future karma will kiss them and the Republicans will return the favor which of course they never do.

Like Bill 'Don't twist my arm, I'll sign it' Clinton. Best president the Republicans ever had representing them. And all they did in return for him constantly bending over for them was to ramrod him even harder than they had anybody else ever. Till Obama came along.

Right now before your very eyes the Democrats have shutdown the government because Trump doesn't think it is in the best interest of the American taxpayer to offer healthcare to the world. I agree very much with that. I don't have that kind of money. Let the businesses and or governments of the countries these people are from take care of their healthcare. If they want U.S. healthcare then they should pay for it out of their own pocket.

Every single time Trump has tried to send violent criminals who are not citizens of this country home or to another country some lower court, liberal activist judge, stops him. I really don't understand how they have that authority seeing that the judicial branch has no control over the executive branch.

Trump's Big Beautiful Bill got whittled down to the small, sort of cute, bill by the Democrats (and some Republicans who haven't caught on to the fact that they are to serve the American people, not burden them).

That's all I can think of at the moment.

You're doing it again.

No, that's your eyes. Well, to be precise, that's what you were told was before your eyes.

Trump is oncelebrity tour in Asia, taking credit for settling the peace between Nepal and Vanuatu. Next stop he's going to add the ongoing war between Mongolia and Tahiti that nobody's ever heard of. Including Mongolia and Tahiti.

The Democrats never learn. They're doing their usual to-the-rescue schtick, repairing yet another Republican mess. Okay, it may sound kind of cold, but perhaps they should allow insurance rates to go up. Bottom line is, people paying for them to start with can afford them, so let them. Even if the Democrats fix it, the Republicans are only going to turn around next year and take credit for it for it, and the gullible public will as usual believe it. Obamacare is over anyways. So let rates go up, and let people learn that this is what happens when they vote for the wrong person or simply stay at home and not vote at all.

The public voted for tax cuts for the super rich, and lower prices on groceries. Of course prices didn't go down, but they already knew that was going to happen, so let them pay higher insurance rates as well. And for those who voted Democrat, next round, maybe they should put their foot down on election day instead of counting on the selfish muckrakers to be civil for once.

"You're doing it again."

What? Answering your questions?

In all actuality is you who are doing it again, now isn't it. Come on.... you know it's you.

You're inventing my political point of view (which is something I do not have), and that is strictly derived from your own point of view, having no relation to me whatsoever.

Normally I just go along because there's a certain enjoyment to be had from watching people getting themselves worked up while claiming I'm the one getting worked up over something that they're getting worked up that they made up which has nothing to do with me only they want to believe it does because they're addicted to animosity and loud screeching noises which are nevertheless too far away to be an actual danger to themselves.

But you were informed of this last week because I forgot to delete the comment before going to bed. Thus you saw it and therefore there are no excuses. The gig, the game, the bogus narrative has been ruptured. It no longer is applicable no matter how much you wish it to be me now.

It's like when somebody finds out that there really is no Santa Claus. You don't get to turn around and re-convince them the following Christmas that there really is a Santa Claus. There is not and they're not going to believe it no matter how much they wish there was a Santa Claus. There's no putting that big fat dead genie back in a bottle.

"You're inventing my political point of view"

That wasn't what I meant by "In all actuality is you who are doing it again, now isn't it. Come on.... you know it's you."

You actually said what I was talking about when you said, "Normally I just go along because there's a certain enjoyment to be had from watching people getting themselves worked up". That is what I mean by "you are doing it again".

Just know that you're going to have to work a whole lot harder to get me worked up. I am worked up proof. I just want to have fun. That is why I posted a link to a Monty Python skit. I know you don't do links but if you ever made an exception this one would be okay. It's just YouTube. But then I don't know if you like Monty Python or not. If you do then maybe you'll like that video.

Anyway..... Bye!!

FDR one of the greatest presidents of all time…. Like getting us out of the depression and the war after we were still using horses

Yes, technically speaking the economy finally made a full recovery the day that FDR died (he died in office). So, yes, FDR finally, after 16 years, got us out of the depression by dying.

The problem with the left is none of them have the slightest clue how the economy works. It's really not very complicated but there's not a single leftist out there who even thinks about what makes the economy work. They operate entirely on the head-in-the-sand model.

You probably never even heard of the stock market crash that happened 10 years earlier. The difference is Warren G. Harding was president and he knew to just get out of the way. He died in office and his vice president, Calvin Coolidge took over. Coolidge understood the same principle of getting out of the way of the economy. 18 months later, the economy fully rebounded and went to a booming economy.

The same thing happened in 1929, Hoover was now president and he though he could engineer a solution and just make everything worse. He lost re-election to Roosevelt. Roosevelt ran on a campaign of "change" but he didn't change anything. He took Hoover's policies and doubled down on them. By doing so he made a bad depression much, much worse.

But the American people believed he knew what he was doing and they kept re-electing him. When they realized that absolutely nothing that he did worked to make things better, the government passed a new amendment to the Constitution to never let anyone serve more than 2 terms in office, so we would never have anything like this happen again.

But that never stopped the economic illiterate left from continuing to try to wreck the economy every chance they get. Oh they'll produce all sorts of fake reports trying to tell you that live is wonderful while your sitting in the unemployment line but no Democrat has ever improved the economy. Obama even tried to tell us that his sucky economy was the "new normal". Then Trump won the 2016 election and just blew Obama's "new normal" statement out of the water. Just by being elected the economy skyrocketed. Trump didn't even have to do a single thing. Just the fact that Hillary lost was what the economy needed to rebound.

Economies improve under Democrats.

They slow under Republicans, who also have a knack for ushering in recessions.

There's never been a misery index under a Republican administration.

That bad huh?

Your statement makes absolutely no sense.

Haven't you heard of the misery index? The first I heard it mentioned was when Carter was president.

Actually what I said was not accurate. I don't know when it was started but it's an index based of the unemployment rate, inflation and other factors.

I thought, until a few minutes ago, that this index was kept by the government but I was wrong. I looked it up and it's kept the the Cato Institute, a Libertarian think tank.

The misery index during Trump, and including November of 2024 has been fluctuating between 6.5% and 7.3%. Below 7% is a healthy economy. Above 7% is a decline. Above 10% is a bad economy.

During the Biden administration it peaked at 12.66%. It fluctuated between 6.97% (02/2024) and 12.66% (06/2023).

It hit a 50 year all time low under Trump in September 2019 of 5.21%. The highest, under Trump, was April of 2020 at 15.03% but that could not be blamed on Trump, that was when the Democrats unconstitutionally shut down nearly every business in the cities and states they ruled over. That was a major economy killer and the left still tries to blame that on Trump.

If Trump was actually a king he would have had the authority to stop those shutdowns.

BTW the Cato Institute is neither Democrat or Republican. They're Libertarian and Libertarians hate both the Democrats and Republicans.

Of course it's not Trump's fault. It's never Trump's fault. In fact, if you were active on this site you would have seen numerous memes attributing what happened in 2020 to Biden. 2020. Biden.

How do you account for the mess that was Red States then if it was the Democrats shutting down their own cities? To this very day they still lagging recovery, all the way down to crime rates. The murder rate which was elevated during the period has barely declined a nudge since in Republican run areas. Is that space-time bending Biden's fault too?

It's like that poll 2017, in which 2/3 of people from Louisiana blamed the debacle that was the Federal Government handling of Katrina on Obama. Obama.

You seriously thought the Misery Index was only applied to Democrats? And that it was an actual government maintained index? And that they thus said, "naah, Ronny is a Republican, so what if he actually started two recessions himself, we'll skip him and wait for the next Democrat elected to apply the Index to"?

Sometimes you have to just apply a little logic to these things.

"Of course it's not Trump's fault. It's never Trump's fault."

I'm glad you're finally coming around to see it my way. You're 100% correct, it isn't Trump's fault.

Wreck the economy? Buddy it was recked caused of the War and Depression anyone could see that…..

The economy during COVID? Wanna talk about that? With Trump in office?

The great depression started with a stock market crash in 1929. Our involvement in WWII didn't start until 1941.

Democrats at the time of the war came up with the idea that war was good for the economy. And the economy did come back some but that was because the government poured tons of money into the war effort, which was a Bandaid that we had to pay for about 30 years later when inflation went through the roof. It also cleared up the unemployment lines by sending the unemployed in to battle where they were killed which further solved the unemployment problem.

You might want to brush up on history a wee bit.

Trump was president when COVID was unleashed on the world. But it wasn't Trump who shut down all of the businesses, that was Democrats in the cities and states they controlled. When you shut down nearly every business and force people to stay at home guess what happens to the economy.

And instead of letting Trump get reelected the Dems stole the 2020 by fabricating 20 million votes for Biden. Biden just made everything much much much worse. He didn't do anything that would have corrected the economy, he just spend borrowed money like there was no tomorrow. We borrowed that money from ourselves which caused the value of the dollar to plummet. The more dollars in circulation, either actual dollars or digital dollars the lower the value of each existing dollar. When the dollar is worth less it takes more of them to buy what you used to buy. The hardest hit by the Democrats is always the poor and middle class, the very same people they claim to support.

Democrats hate everyone, they just manipulate certain people by putting them into groups where they can be manipulated easier. All Democrats care about is power and they do and say anything they can to get and maintain that power.

And people believe whatever they say without ever questioning what effects their policies will have. It's trust based entirely on the Democrats convincing their constituents that anyone who says different than them is a Nazi or fascist. It's just mind control of the masses.

Are you gonna hope off his jock about the election? Like admit it was real. There’s been no SCOTUS case about it saying it was fake

Where did those extra 20 million votes come from for Biden? Where did they go when Harris was running.

Oh I know, in between the 2 elections Elon Musk bought Twitter and restored free speech on it. Now Republicans could report all of the voter fraud attempts in real time and shut down nearly every single operation letting the voice of the American people choose Trump in a landslide in 2024.

Now Trump is trying to send people who are here illegally back home and the Dems are pissed because they're losing more voters. Democrats don't care if they're here illegally which means they're voting illegally, they just crave power and control and they won't let anything, like the law, get in they're way

This is how Democrats are protecting our "democracy" by making sure that the democratic process is rigged in their favor.

In 2020 155 million people voted in total for either Biden or Trump

In 2024 around 153 million people voted for either Harris or Trump.

That’s only around a 2 million difference which could be a tiny bit going to one side, deaths cause of boomers being super old.

There’s no 20 million difference

Biden received 81,283,501 votes
Harris received 75,017,613 votes

So what 5ish million? That could’ve turned towards Trump ?

Yeah buddy there’s no 20 million difference and not stolen election

You got the right numbers but you didn't get the full picture.
2008 129 million people voted
2012 121 million people voted
2016 128 million people voted
2020 155 million people voted
2024 152 million people voted

between 2008 and 2016 that is an average of 126,657,789 votes.

Then along come Biden raking up the most votes in the history of this nation. The total number of votes that year was 155,506,056. That is a jump in votes of 28,848,267 from the previous 3 year average. And the 3 previous years were all in the 120 million votes.

So where did roughly 28,848,267 voters magically appear?

Probably the most lackluster presidential political candidate ever, plus he was senile and somehow we're supposed believe that he got more votes than any other president? The man was a walking vegetable. He probably went to about 4 places total on his campaign. He had no message, not platform, nothing.

I am sorry but considering Trump's recent landslide election I am just not buying that Biden is the most popular president in the history of this nation.

Then there are all of the other voting anomalies. Like the vote counting pause for over an hour that when it resume across the board Biden shot ahead of Trump. And in several precincts they didn't even cover their mistake. If Trump had 2,000 votes and Biden had 1,000 votes before the pause when they came back Trump had 1,000 votes and Biden had 2,000 votes. And this happened in several precincts. One precinct in their fudging the numbers even had Trump with about -900 votes for awhile until they fixed it. How on earth do you get a NEGATIVE vote count? It is impossible to happen but it did in 2020.

Then all of the voting machine problems where people voted for Trump and literally watched their vote change to Biden. And that's not the first time. Reports of Mitt Romney votes in the 2012 election were being switched to Obama on the Dominion and SmartMatic voting machines. Similar reports happened in the 2020 election.

Oh gosh no, I never said Biden was the most popular never that. He just got more votes. He didn’t landslide sweep the election well he did do well.

That 28 million is an interesting question

Maybe it’s 18 year old voters because majority of the country is over 18 so they came into the game. Immigrants (naturalized) and also people who saw the election was highly controversial and wanted to vote.. also account for mail in ballots which weren’t as popular before this gave more access to voters

Republicans suck with economies.

FDR accomplished more, if not the most, of all presidents. He didn't get elected four times because he was twiddling his thumbs. In addition to having to deal with Hoover's Great Depression and then World War II, he modernized much of America, namely by wiring up the South, providing it a source of water which wasn't the local pond, and introducing it to something called concrete for building. He took it out of the Third World and into the future.

Sure, they were unintended consequences like the National Recovery Act providing for conditions which enabled the South to dump on their former slaves yet again by creating a minimum wage which inspired Whites to actually get jobs outside of overseeing farm laborers. But hey, we had to wait for Truman to start acting on that, but there's only so much someone can do while birthing the 20th Century.

I never exactly liked FDR, but got to give credit where credit is due.
I mean, hey, he and the Democrats beat the Nazis. There is significant portion of the United States of America that is actually glad that that happened. Not the aforementioned South, of course, but that is one of the things I didn't like about FDR. He should have left them as they were. Then again, they just would have kept migrating up into the Midwest and west towards California, so maybe it was better to bring them into the civilized world so that they could stay where they are instead of bringing the rest of us down with them.

FDR was a dick

Just letting Pearl Harbor happen alone is bad enough. Ugh. I'd say more adjective-wise but I don't want to get in a timer for insulting him.

That and the fact that he locked up thousands of innocent citizens of Japanese, Italian and German ancestry. He's a not fun fact. The total number of Italians and Germans who were locked out numbered the total Japanese. I don't know why that fact is never talked about. In fact most people don't even know that Germans and Italians were sent to internment camps.

FDR did NOT fixed the economy during the Great Depression. It was at it's worst under Hoover, but FDR did not improve it enough for it to be considered over. He kept dicking around with the economy causing all sorts of hardships. At one point he confiscated everyone's gold and I don't mean gold bars people accumulated to build wealth, he took that also but he was trying to take grandma's wedding ring and gold necklace also.

He ordered pig farmers to slaughter there pigs with the idea that it would help the pig farmers by driving up the price of bacon. The only problem was that pig farmers now had no pigs to sell.

He took us off the gold standard and then put us back on just to see what that would do.

The hardest hit by FDR's folly were always the poor and the blacks. Democrats seem to always try to punish those groups the most.

Samey Same. Nazis = Commie leftists

Dem after Dem called Trump, Elon, etc. Nazis. They accused Hegseth of Nazi tattoos (FALSE). And now? The most popular Dem Senate candidate in AMERICA has actual Nazi tattoos & the full backing of the radical Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. OWN IT.

I can see that "discriminating against minorities" isn't on that list. Care to explain why?

I don't know. I didn't make the top meme.

God does not come before the state in government. God shouldn’t come before the state

And for some strange reason, folks treated the state as a God. But we both know that the government is run by crooks, regardless of political party. Right?

I agree, but I think we can also agree there are some genuine good people in politics or they try to be good. Mostly they’re shut down by the far or extreme side of their party. Which the news covers more then the moderates

How come it's Republicans who identify with them?

Wow. You really know how to twist things around, do you?

What did I twist around? Republics are literally saying they agree with Nazi policies 😂😂

Please provide the evidence that Republicans actually said that they support Nazi policies.
You may begin.

Already did. Thanks.

But do you know the name of such politicians who actually support the Nazi policies? And how can you be so certain that they can really implement it, in such a way that Nazi used to do back then?
Please answer those questions; we all need to know.

Um...

You keep mispelling "A Minority of Republicans" every time you mention this.
