Wow.

Too bad you people couldn’t have respected him while he was in office. Of course he got it.

+1 !!

Too bad you people couldn’t vote for a normal Republican like Bush but just went for the one who triggered the libs.

You never considered him a "normal Republican" - remember when he was considered the anti-Christ by you LWNJs? I sure do. Too bad you couldn't have respected him at the time rather than overreacting (as usual) and calling him the devil incarnate. Do you have any idea how utterly absurd you looked then - and now?

DP. He's disqualified as a presidential candidate. By his own actions.

I am not going to attack Rs, but am sincerely curious to understand the policies that you support. Immigration, I get it. What else are they suggesting that you believe will make the country better? Policies. Not just getting Biden out. That is not a policy. What do they want to overturn?

They've been very vocal about it:

They want to get rid of laws against discrimination in all form - against traditionally oppressed communities like Black Americans, against women, and against non-heterosexuals.

in fact, they want to ban LGBTQ people all-together push them back in the closet, make it legal to discriminate them in everything from housing to jobs to marriage, to get rid of anti-conversion "therapy" laws. Guaranteed.

They want to get rid of government regulation. For the life of me I can't understand why Republicans love pollution and deadly food contamination breakouts and safety issues in building planes and cars, but apparently they value corporate profits over people's lives, so they're good living with those consequences of getting rid of regulation.

They want to make sure Christianity dominates American life in the way they think it did before the 1970s, so that everyone including Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, and non-regligiously affilitated people have to be subjected to specifically Christian prayers in schools and the workplace and government spaces.

They think there will be a magical drop in prices just by having Trump back in the White House, never mind that rounding up and deporting 11 million people who are working in so many areas of production is going to make prices soar, as are the tariffs Trump is threatening. Or that corporations are loathe to give up their record-setting profits of the past couple of years by lowering prices.

These are the issues I hear over and over again from Republicans.

Where do you read about the Christianity part because I have a hard time pinning that one down? Thanks!

Republicans like this pp want us not to pay attention to the connections, plans and existing actions toward establishing evangelical Christianity as the state’s religion. They will not respond to this with substance, but with deflections (and possibly DARVO).

Voting for the GOP this time is a vote to end religious liberty.

“Roger Severino’s chapter on the Department of Health and Human Services urges the next conservative president to “maintain a biblically based, social science–reinforced definition of marriage and family.” Severino is concerned that federal programs will be subjected to “nonreligious definitions of marriage and family as put forward by the recently enacted Respect for Marriage Act.”

[…]

Right-wing groups do not want to ensure all Americans have religious freedom, but want to impose conservative Christian views on our religiously-diverse country.

The federal government does not need to worry about saving souls.
Instituting “biblically based” policies, saving souls and inducing Sabbath observance constitute a direct attack on religious freedom, a freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment, which keeps the government out of religion.”

Republicans are already using public school money to fund religious private schools. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/07/09/project-2025-looks-to-impose-publicly-funded-religious-education-on-america-ohio-already-has-that/

Let’s not forget that Sam Alito and other Republicans have been flying Christian nationalist flags.

You are - as usual - pushing things you've read in Project 2025. It's been stated, over and over, that Project 2025 is not the GOP/Trump's agenda. So, just to clarify, I pulled this from Trump's ACTUAL AGENDA. You can keep blathering on about your "Christian Nationalism" dreck, but we will simply keep pushing right back on you with facts:

3. Republicans Will Defend Religious Liberty

We are the defenders of the First Amendment Right to Religious Liberty. It protects the Right not only to Worship according to the dictates of Conscience, but also to act in accordance with those Beliefs, not just in places of Worship, but in everyday life. Our ranks include men and women from every Faith and Tradition, and we respect the Right of every American to follow his or her deeply held Beliefs. To protect Religious Liberty, Republicans support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting Anti-Christian Bias that will investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2024-republican-party-platform

[Anonymous]

And before you write your inevitable outraged response about the task force on fighting anti-Christian bias - there are ALREADY task forces designed to fight anti-Muslim and anti-Semitism. So this is simply in keeping with existing measures to combat religious discrimination, regardless of the religion.

Defending religious liberty by banning abortion because the fundamentalist Christians oppose abortion while the rest of us support a woman's right to manage their own bodies.

Gaslighting to the Nth degree.

There is no democratic proposal to limit someone's ability to practice their religion or impose morality on the Fundamentalists. They can do what they want.

Oh so no plan to put people in “camps?”

Which one is it, a rambling plan less guy speaking incorrectly about fictional characters, or Hitler reborn with plans to imprison millions of people on American soil for an unspecified reason?

Tom Homan was Trump’s director of ICE, authored Project 25, and will be Trump’s DHS director. Here’s his plan as delivered in a keynote speech at the RNC the other night.

If you listen to his entire speech, rather than your carefully selected sound bite, he is saying the CARTELS will be wiped off the face of the earth. Which sounds good to me. But do keep peddling misinformation.

But the US has no authority to do that, no? That would be like Canada saying they are going after the Bloods and the Crips.

I refer you to 20:06. Please stop being so literal. No one is declaring war on Mexico. :roll:

Ah ok so it was just another campaign lie. One of hundreds, spoken throughout the RNC convention.

I don't recall anyone saying they were going to "declare war on Mexico." Just you. Please post the exact quote you're referring to.

DP, but how are we going to wipe cartels located in Mexico "off of the earth" without military action in Mexico. Military action the government of Mexico has said they do not want.

Like this:
“The Mexican government was not informed in advance by the Biden administration that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was conducting an operation to capture two of the most powerful and notorious drug cartel leaders responsible for the flood of fentanyl entering the United States.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico didn’t inform Mexican government officials until Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López were in U.S. custody.

The United States was able to capture the two men by tricking them into boarding a private jet, which landed in El Paso, Texas, where they were promptly arrested.”
