WSJ editorial page is v mad at Trump’s economic moves.
You can listen or read the dispatch. They are disgusted by Trump. |

I would argue that it doesn’t. She sounds “extremely online” and persuaded more my what she thinks is happening than what’s really happening. |

No, the movement was about not having racist cops shoot black people in the back or choke them to death in the street. Do you know what is insulting to cops? Releasing the J6ers who maimed and assaulted cops who were protecting the US Capitol in a coup attempt. |

What on earth do you see as pro-family values in a man who has 5 children by three different women, cheated on at least two of his wives, and brags that he can grab women by the puSy? And his co-president, who no one voted for, has 14 children by more women than anyone seems to be able to keep track of- only some of while he’s been married to. What tells values to do you see him when he uses the Bible as a prop and has no idea what’s inside? There’s zero evidence that he’s a religious person. He’s a carnival barker taking advantage of low-information, gullible religious people. There’s unlimited evidence that he illegally uses his position to personally profit. He has a lifetime history of fraud. Thou shall not steal? Biden was old but if you actually believe Trump is not demented, you are only consuming trashy right wing news. |

What is funny (or really sad) is that this is the opposite of what is happening. Border crossings are likely down because our president is tanking the economy so why would immigrants want to come here? I guess technically he made good on his word to stop the flow of illegal immigration, but that is like blowing up your car and then bragging about how much gas money you are saving. And re: enforcing immigration laws, do you mean rounding up US citizens in ICE raids and then turning the Hispanic conservative voting population against him? Also by getting rid of DEI, do you realize this also includes A (as In accessibility for disabled people). Plus DEI was just a pretext for mass firings — and they are also emptying out civil rights offices because apparently EEO laws no longer matter. By bringing “accountability” and a “business like approach” to government do you mean all the mass firings that are dismantling agencies and then being overturned by the courts? Or the brilliant business minds that fired nuclear safety staff, people working on bird flu, etc.? Or by accountability do you mean all the unproven “savings” that keep getting deleted from the DOGE website? Respect for police … like pardoning the J6 rioters? And honest, informative speech? You mean the trans mice and 150 year olds collecting Social Security? You are the sad epitome of a low information voter who happily gargles the garbage that Fox News spews. But at least we don’t have Kamala “babbling and cackling” — I find it telling that you have to criticize her demeanor to show why she is unqualified. Hmmm so Hilary didn’t smile enough and Kamala laughs too much. Perhaps there is some other underlying reason you don’t like them that doesn’t have to do with their qualifications … |

But this all sounds like snowflake stuff. Romney accused of being a racist and you all melt - what's up with that? You cancelled yourselves? |

Traditional conservative here. You make good points. I'd add that I was also appalled by how he treated President Zelensky whose country was obviously invaded by Russia. |

The corruption and self-dealing is also a problem for real conservatives.
$5 million for business leaders to pay to play (have dinner/business meeting with Trump). Also the Trump meme and now crypto scam. There are real conservatives (former Reaganites) who would be horrified by cozying up to former-Soviet and corrupt Russia while trying to humiliate our allies (Ukraine) or start a trade war with our closest ally (Canada). That's not good or sane foreign policy. |

Do you trust Bloomberg news? - 94% of jobs recently given EXCLUSIVELY to BIPOC Americans. Does 94% given to ONE group sound like there was (as you put it) an “equal chance” in hiring? Read it yourself: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-black-lives-matter-equal-opportunity-corporate-diversity/#:~:text=While%20the%20biggest%20shifts%20in,went%20to%20workers%20of%20color. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-black-lives-matter-equal-opportunity-corporate-diversity/#:~:text=While%20the%20biggest%20shifts%20in,went%20to%20workers%20of%20color. |

But, aren’t they Mormons? |

Haven't we learned already that these religious church goers are the biggest hypocrites in the world. They spouse Christian values when they have none themselves. If there is a hell, most of them will burn there. |

You are a conservative and you revel in racism and sexism. You want people of color and women of all women if color to be your slaves |

Yeah, so why don’t you provider the full detail? Most of these jobs for BIPOC hires were lower paying, entry level. The managerial hires were still a majority white. Moreover, white people still dominate higher paying / executive jobs. Don’t worry, white people still have the advantage. |

For every editorial where the WSJ gently admonishes Trump, they publish twice as many where they excoriate Democrats--even though they do not currently control any branch of government. |

What does pro-marriage and military mean. I know no one who is anti-marriage or anti military. What they are against is someone else defining who should be able marry short of children to adults. What they are against is the military having no space for all who wish to serve and not understanding that they serve the balance of diplomacy and defense. And also that they have an unlimited budget or are beyond questioning in comparison to other agencies. Why do conservatives think they are the ones who have rights to religion, family, and patriotism? Maybe if we got rid of this conservative, liberal, progressive nonsense and let government focus on actual problems and solutions things would actually be better. |
