And simply hateful, mean, and nasty! He is a really unhappy man who seems to be intent on taking it out on the rest of the world. Part of me feels very sorry for him. I believe in karma (the Buddhist definition of karma) and he is going to have some serious effects from the causes he is generating.Originally Posted by Teacher Terry

I don’t think Donald is unhappy at all.
He's not a full-fledged dictator yet - of course, he is unhappy!

I can understand the emotional weight behind the “Trump delenda est” fixation. And tactically, it’s easier to attack Trump than defend Biden. And vice versa. Both are venal, vain, vacuous, vicious liars. I also think there may be some belief that Biden could serve as a Trojan Horse for a VP with a more radical left wing agenda.
I have heard a number of explanations for the country’s ills. “Systemic racism”. Wealth inequality. Moral decay. A failing education system. Deficit spending. Elite overproduction. Even foreign subversion. I don’t see either candidate as having much capability of making inroads there. So I will use my vote to try to push the needle in a more helpful direction, thinking beyond November.
But have no fear. If my philosophy of government eventually prevails, you will have no shortage of things to frantically deplore.
L, I can’t believe that you are putting Biden in the same category as trump. Next you will say Carter was as bad as trump.
I think Carter was worse than Trump politically, he was just more likeable.

This should be moved to the conspiracy theory thread.
That's a somewhat understandable sentiment since trump doesn't actually have much of a political agenda beyond putting as many partisan hack judges on the federal courts as he possibly can. And the only big piece of legislation that has passed during his presidency was the budget-busting tax cut for rich people.
His personal agenda, on the other hand, is bigly worse than Carter's, but some people don't seem to care much about that.
I think his only personal agenda is pissing off liberals, and as you might say he seems to be succeeding bigly. And you're right, outside of being amused I don't care much about that.

So conservatives are cool with rampant violations of the emoluments clause, don't care about the concept of equal justice under the law, and love the idea of firing all the inspectors generals who might call out his corruption, and firing or demoting anyone who dares point out his corruption. Cool. Good to know.
