It’s over Trump won this election

The RepubliComic Con is a failed joke.

He’s kicking your parties ass! Your dem party is the epic fail!
 
Solid response.

Anyone else care to take a swing? I am honestly curious if any Trump supporters have any issue at all with using the White House as a backdrop for a campaign event. Gore was absolutely destroyed by Republicans for using a government phone to solicit donations when he was VP, so I am interested to hear what people’s thoughts are on this issue.







No issues here . Don't you think Covid19 is something to do with him having at the White House.

I've thought since March this was Biden's to lose. With the picking of Kamala, among other problems, I think he's done his best to give it back to Trump.[/QUOTE]





Where should he have done it? Mar-a-Lago, Trump Tower? Arguably everything a first term POTUS does is political. Given COVID and the riots, the WH is the most sensible venue, no?
 
Every c

But the Hatch Act applies to every other federal worker, including Ivanka and anyone else who works at the White House and played a role in the event. So I will assume Law and Order means those laws you find politically expedient to abide by.

How is asking about the social distancing during a pandemic not a legitimate question? One prominent supporter of the President died after publicly flouting CDC guidelines. I guess it's another example of rules for thee not rules for me.
I guess you haven’t had time yet to post about it, but I’m sure you’re deeply disturbed about this gathering in DC with all the folks disregarding the CDC guidelines during a pandemic. Either that or your concern wasn’t genuine and you just brought up the RNC for political reasons.

Short of renting out a banquet room at a HOJO and presenting canned RINO speeches, he would have been criticized regardless. I look at this: Trump supporters are happy with his convention and his critics are out of their minds. Biden supporters were disappointed with their convention and his critics were still critics. It's a huge win for Trump.

His taxes are none of your business.
He’s a real estate guy. Which means a majority of his income is going to come from operating income from depreciable property, and/or cap gains from properties sold.

On depreciable operating income, the depreciation deduction significantly reduces taxable income such that the optics will look like he “made a ton of money but paid little in taxes”. The truth is he invested already taxed income, putting that capital at risk, into these properties. Plus when he sells the properties that depreciation deduction gets recaptured and taxed as ordinary income at the max rate.

On properties sold, a majority of that gain will be taxed at cap gains rates of 20 percent. Again - capital already taxed put at risk and taxed again at a lower rate only to the extent money was made.

What the democrats want is the optics of a rich man paying very low taxes in a given year relative to his wealth. What anyone in real estate investing knows is that he was already taxed on the capital put at risk. So those optics don’t mean shit.

Yes, I would definitely prefer people find a safer way to protest. Interesting that mask usage seems much higher amongst the angry mob than amongst the leadership of the country.

Call me crazy, but I do expect the President to act as an example for this country, particularly during a time of crisis. Ignoring guidelines almost certainly contributed to Herman Cain's death. One might think something like that would impact future choices about large gatherings.

Here's the way I see it:
Voting for Trump: A much faster route to financial security.
Less government control and independence.
The right to bear arms.
The right to be Christian or any religion you choose.
The right for unborn children to live.
A strong military.
Law and order.
Protection under the law.
All lives will matter.
Pharmaceutical companies relocated back to the US.
Less costly medications.
VA backing and care for wounded warriors.
Legal immigration.
Fining businesses that utilize illegal immigrants.
Revoking visas of dangerous felons.
Border security.
Better public housing.
Better choices for public education.
Healthcare where you choose your physicians.
Reducing taxes especially for small business owners.
Should I even list the Dim platform?

The protesters wear mask to hide their identities! Do you think the protesters are intelligent enough to understand what purpose the mask are "supoosed to serve"?
 
Much appreciated.

You might find our views on policy are not as different at you believe.

We definitely differ on Trump himself though. I think he represents an existential threat to our democracy and that is in part why I asked about the Hatch Act. Breaking of norms can be a good thing but there is a reason using federal property to campaign is against federal law. You and others may feel that as long as it is an action to help keep Trump in office and protect against the socialist hoard than it is acceptable. I on the other hand view the breaking of this norm (and law) as something that primarily helps Trump and his election efforts, not the country as a whole. This continues to put us down a path of ends justifying the means, which is fine and well until someone you disagree with takes office and does the same thing.

Changing demographics means that eventually we will either continue to see a leftward shift in our politics or a breaking of our democratic principles. It is inevitable. When that happens, I would greatly prefer we have traditional guardrails in place to help manage those future Presidents. An event like last night will feel awful when we have a hardcore lefty using The People's House as a prop for their own ends.
Threat to our democracy?!?!

His policies have helped empower people. When people have jobs and higher net worth, they have more FREEDOM.... Less sucking off the government tit....yes...tit.

Your mind is truly warped.

DT had the literal best opportunity ever for an overreach of power with Covid. All he had to do was go along with the fear mongering, and he could have used it for immense control of govt, businesses and citizens. Instead he supported the states in their fights and never increased fed overreach. Just another example (and the best) he doesn’t care about power.

Great observation.
