When Trump was President…

He caused otherwise normal people like you to go completely insane. Plus he ruined Datalounge.

He raised taxes on the middle class. Those are the rates people are paying now.

Why are democrats so quiet about his awful presidency.

Every day was something new and horrible.

People couldn’t wait to vote him out. They were so sick of his shit.

Remember when he bombed an abandoned airport in the Middle East?

That will show ‘em!

People woke up every day with a knot in their stomach.

Every day was Halloween.

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Did they ever reunite those babies with their mothers? I don’t think so.

I think they were shipped off to the right-wing Christian adoption agencies.

[quote]I think they were shipped off to the right-wing Christian adoption agencies.

That's what they WANT you to think!!

It was hell. It was like living through Vietnam. We have news clips from that era. Not sure why the media is not playing those as a reminder.

Not to mention it will be way worse this time around.

Never forget

Got Roe V Wade overturned.

I think Biden has been a good president in a lot of ways and what the country needed at the time, but the whole “look forward, not backward” was a big mistake, especially when the country needed a reckoning of how badly TFG’s administration fucked up the Covid response — deliberately.

And how can people of color support him when they were disproportionately affected by the unchecked spread of covid?

Not to mention a chaotic WH without cohesion and his cabinet turnover because of burnout dealing with his crazy ass saying shit like "why can't we use nukes?"

WHET to Omarosa? She's been very quiet.

He incited an insurrection on 1/6/21 and tried to hang his Vice President.

The pandemic ambulance sirens jolting New Yorkers awake each morning and continuing through our attempts to fall asleep each night.

In the early months of the crisis, a majority of the wailing ambulances turned out to be one-way trips to the hospital.

Damn you to Hell, donald. Damn you.

Dead bodies piled up in trash bags during Covid. Also trash bags being worn by hospital workers because Jared sold the PPE to foreign countries.

He completely ruined our relationships with NATO countries.

He made kissy-kissy with Kim Jong Un.

He licked Putin's hole more than a few times.

He denied aid Ukraine needed to fend off Russian aggression unless they came up with some bad shit on the Bidens.

He stole top secret documents and (undoubtedly) sold them to the Russians.

He let truly evil people into his administration (Steven Miller, anyone?) and gave security clearances to people likely to trade secrets with our enemies for money (Kushy).

I believe he had his first wife killed.

I need to stop writing now. The veins in my temples are starting to pound.

“ it was hell. It was like living through Vietnam”

Was it the snakes, the tigers, the non stop rain, the jungle rot, the incoming, or the outgoing that reminded you so much of living through Vietnam?

Oh, I forgot wiping our asses with coffee filters because the supply chain was fucked up due to his pandemic mismanagement.

[quote]It was hell. It was like living through Vietnam. We have news clips from that era. Not sure why the media is not playing those as a reminder.

That's a brilliant idea, R10.

The MSNBC hosts should've regularly been re-airing full episodes of their 2020 shows. Nicolle and Dr's Gupta and Redlehner; Joy and Dr. Rani Whitfield on how COVID was affecting Blacks and Latinos; Rachel and her deep dives into mass epidemics from history; Chris Hayes and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel; Lawrence and Prof. Lawrence Tribe on the legal facepalms re: Trump's COVID haphazard shutdowns; and his sweet, heartwarming segments featuring essential workers, medical heroes, little kids sewing face masks, etc.

That would've been so perfect, like Jews making sure the world NEVER forgets the Holocaust and historical programs. It was a TERRIBLE time, and Iost 3 close family members and a god brother to COVID pre-vaccine; but in a way it was beautiful how we regular Joes came together because we most of us felt we were in this together.

Too late now.

Rapey drunk Brett Kavanaugh on SCOTUS. Fat fuck Bill Barr shut down the FBI investigation, even though the tip line had over 4,000 people call in with info on ole Brett.

OP - SARS killed 800 people. What has that got to do with COVID deaths?

Perhaps this will refresh our memories.

R25 they CONTAINED it.

Trump and Boris blocked the international community from contacting and tracing and instead decided to spread it around everywhere instead.

We could wish that only 800 died from Trump/Covid 19

I don’t think it’s too late r23. I don’t have twitter anymore since it was sold to the alt-right but anyone can dig up these clips and post them.

Young people need to see how bad it was. Roll the tape!

And so do some old people who have all but forgotten.

R25 have you ever heard of google? I hope you got your question cleared up so you can inform others.

The only way out of this is to fight ignorance with the truth, even when you should already know why SARS was handled with science instead of politics.

I never could find a definitive answer:

Did they manage to reunite all those families they busted up at the border?

...I had a size 32 waist!

r31 Are you guys referring to MERS? Because that mostly stayed in the Middle East. Since 2012, there have only been 2 confirmed cases in the US. SARS was during George W. Bush's presidency from 2002-2004 and there were only 27 cases in the US.

R32 there is a documentary coming out. Wonder if they know the answer.

SARS and MERS were both stopped because of contact/trace methods.

Boris in the UK and Trump worked together to stop contact/trace and shoot for herd immunity which was a pretense to intentionally spread covid for political gain.

He killed a million people for political points.

r36 Sweden had an even more lax protocol.

And we see how that ended.

Covid should have and would have been contained. And now we live with it forever.

These are the consequences of the election. And people wonder why every other thread is about trump. he is a threat to our lives.

The thing about the 1,000,000 unnecessary deaths is that those were individual people with lives and families and they were killed just to score a few political points.

As if their lives were worth nothing.

It has been nice to have a president who isn't on TV or Twitter every day stirring shit. Like a normal president.

Muslim bans and ripping babies from their mothers is not going to move MAGA, they like that stuff. You have to meet them where they live.

Here's what I say: Oh, yes, it was so wonderful, 2 years lock down, 1 million dead from Covid, 15% unemployment, BLM protests, riots in all major cities, attack on the Capital, empty store shelves, people fighting over toilet paper. All while we were still at war with Afghanistan. yeah, those were the days.

It has come to light that White people were instigating the BLM stuff all along. It was an elaborate Russian plot. As crazy as that sounds. It’s totally true. They pulled it off.

Don’t forget the tax hike on working people.

Before any one gives R43 shit, here is the link. Great point, R43. Sickening, but crucial to understand.

Millions of Americans couldn’t stand when he was President, or what his Presidency was like.

…Except for those who did love both him and it, unfortunately.

He suggested that drinking bleach would kill COVID.

Books coming out every week about how awful he was. Les Moonves saying Trump might not be good for America, but he's great for CBS. The media wants another Trump term because it makes them money.

Melania senselessly destroyed the iconic White House Rose Garden

I just had Covid...AGAIN! It's endemic and like the flu now. Well done, Trump!

I have never had Covid R50, how bad is it now? I am fully vaxed, with every possible shot I can get, one of the lucky ones but I know I will get it one day. What are the symptoms now that it's morphed?

he was a rancid chump

he went through forty plus people in in cabinet and nary one of them will endorse him now

When Trump was president he followed Obama's nefarious neoliberal, pro-fascistic policies. In turn, Obama was following George W Bush's nefarious neoliberal, pro-fascistic policies. George W Bush was also following on another president's nefarious neoliberal, pro-fascistic policies: Clinton's. And Clinton followed on the nefarious neoliberal, pro-fascistic policies of Bush Sr and Reagan. Equally, Carter, Ford, Nixon and Johnson positioned the US toward nefarious neoliberalism and inverted totalitarianism, terrified of ending up dead like Kennedy.

Oh, and guess who has now only followed, but expanded on the policies set by previous neoliberal, fascistic presidents? Genocide Joe and Giggles McDumb. The only difference between Trump and those two pieces of shit is that Trump is slightly more articulate, and less guarded about his imperialist ideology. That is all. That is why it is so important for people like Jill Stein to receive national projection, because people like her are America's true hope. The corporate uniparty is completely corrupt and everyone should reject it.

Must be morning already in Russia. ^

Be more original, you imbecile @R54. Accusing anyone whose arguments you cannot counter of being a Russian/Chinese/Iranian/Venezuelan bot is downright ridiculous, and it only reflects hoe intellectually limited you are. The only thing that is missing from your ridiculous little reply is the overused 'You type fat/effeminate/poor/tranny/ugly/bottom/old'.

R53; Fuck off, and die in a blazing barrel of cheap Ruskie vodka. You’re getting nervous right R53? You’re getting nervous because your Orange Glow Boy is going to lose next week, right? Good. Perfect.

So, I am promoting Jill Stein and placing Trump at the same level as Biden, Harris, Bush Sr and Jr, Reagan, Obama and Clinton, because I am one of his supporters? God R56, you truly are a mental retard.

R53 lost me at Jill Stein..... people like her are America's true hope.

So you are not a Russian Troll and yet there are pics of her dining with Putin and Flynn who plead guilty to a felony count of "willfully and knowingly" making false statements to the FBI . Divide and conquer is the oldest Russian Troll trick in the handbook.

Yes because Americans call each other imbecile lol.

Kim Jong Un has entered the chat.

No more weak trolling from overseas.

From now until Election Day, you’re going to have to WORK for that potato!

I’ll never understand the Trumpers who think their life was better 4 years ago. 2020 was one of the worst years in US history. Social distancing, businesses closing, children not able to go to school, Broadway shut down, no-fan sporting events, people dying. Awful. Not to mention the race riots.

Trumpets blame all that on Covid, so anything that happened in the second half of Dump's presidency was not his fault in their eyes.

R51 I basically had all of the symptoms except loss of taste/smell. It was unpleasant and I am fully vaxxed. Just unlucky, I guess.

This is the problem. The news organizations have all these clips and stories and data. They won't do it. They know two things, One, his base won't care and two, they are scared he will win. The "press" is all owned by billionaires and corporations now. They all play the middle right. Look at when Hillary ran. Mattl Lauer interviews Trump a day before, lobs him softballs and jokes. Hilliary is on the next day and Lauer starts off with "how can Americans trust you with your email scandal...." Fallon had Trump on and joked and tosseleed his hair. SNL had him as a host. Look at what they are doing to Harris. Trump just barks she won't do interviews, so she does them and he demands the transcripts, that they were editing and look how dumb she is. But then Trump does not do interviews and the press just goes..oh okay, rather than pointing out he is avoiding answering questions, has no policies and is practically deragned,. His only long term sit down was with Joe Rogan, who would suck his dick if he could.

R53, Jill Stein sucks Putin’s cock

I get why his confused loyalist culties support him. My question is for the people that could go either way. How could anyone vote for him? He's a dangerous fool and we all know that. Everyone knows he is a lying piece of shit. I just cannot understand why no one remembers how bad it was when he was in the White House. Remember the contentious White House Briefings?

At this point it’s just the worst people in the country that support him.

He is the Antichrist.

R67 But I think it is more than that. It can't be that close to half the voting population are "the worst people in the country". I live in an affluent, highly educated neighborhood. I see too many Dump signs. Can you imagine putting a Dump sign in your yard? What in the world are they thinking? Are they planning to overlook the utter chaos we would descend into pay less taxes? Because they will be paying more from what I understand.

Every single one of those people with a Trump sign is morally bankrupt. There is no getting past that fact.

Just remember how much money middle class people lost in the stock market during Dump. It’ll happen again.

All the prices are going to go up including gas. Hope they trade in those gas guzzling trucks.

Elon already admitted publicly that there will be some PAIN at first, until it crashes. Then in we can build it back the way WE want it. In Elon's favor of making him even richer of course.

They want it to crash so they can buy up everything at a discount.

I just read he's been quietly buying a lot of million dollar property, building a compound in Texas he wants all his ex-wives and spawn to live on. They are not all in on that idea however.

It's the Deplorables who will suffer most if Turd wins. They live check to check. He has no interest in being POTUS, and will turn it all over to Shady and the Project 2025. It's going to be a daily shitfest like last time. And Alito and Thomas will retire immediately.

[quote]He is the Antichrist.

That's what God said on Twitter the other day R68.

We need to remind our senile elders. It was hell.
