descent is is just another lawyer and career politician. Trump is the only avenue for real change.

Nothing less than total, worshiping devotion will satisfy you, huh?

Or are you too dense to realize what I said was that Trump was the best actual option available?

But the man does have some pretty significant limitations. Like his inability to pick decent cabinet members. Both of his AG picks were downright catastrophic. He did nothing significant to reign in spending. He bought into Birx and Fauci’s act wholeheartedly and still hasn’t caught on.

Plus at his age there is a very real danger of him turning into the Republican version of Joe Biden if he runs again.

What was done to him was atrocious and unforgivable, but trying to undo it is engaging in the most useless of human activities: The search for a better yesterday. If you can’t grasp that you are your own (and Donald Trump’s) worst enemy.

The ‘24 election transcends Donald Trump. The Deep State has figured out how to steal elections, can spy on sitting presidents, and no one is doing a damn thing about. The only justice available at this point is to re-elect Trump.

If half of Trump voters are set to jump ship, then the Biden numbers ready to skip out must be about 150%.

You're telling me that my smaller tax return during Trump's presidency was just "lib propaganda"?

Are you by any chance a fan of 1940's movies?

[FormerFRLurker]

So who do they support and how many said they’d prefer someone other than Trump?

[FormerFRLurker]

Deantis runs against Trump I will do my part to sabotage Desantis now and forever.

Oh noes! I'm sure DeSantis is trembling at the prospect. /s

[PeterPrinciple]

By tax return, you mean tax refund.

Look at the net situation. Are there other factors that affect tax returns. You might have a smaller tax return because you had less withheld which was part of the deal. You might have had more income, you might have had a different type of income.

How many idiots think them pay no taxes because they got a refund.

Again, Understand your tax situation, don’t repeat things you don’t understand.

[dfwgator]

A tax refund is basically giving the government an interest-free loan.

[PeterPrinciple]

So what.

All you have said is that you are paying more taxes because you got less of a refund. That is your point of reference.

Think about it......................

In California where an excess of taxes were collected over actual needs, checks were written by the state apparently to defray the burden of expensive gasoline.

That was in effect a return of taxes disguised as a boon to help out against expensive gasoline

NYT what the hell do they know, certainly not the truth on ANY topic!!!

[no-to-illegals]

And this is why there are primaries

We can count on the MSM doing all they can to troll Trump and fling incendiary devices at him. He will respond in kind. Their stratagem is so obviously to invoke and inflame his ego and ensure he either runs and gains the nomination, which gives them a recipe for demonizing the Republicans. Or, that the party is fractured in internecine warfare. A Win-Win outcome.

And Yet, this is what Trump has done all along and it hasn't impacted him or his electoral chances negatively in any fashion.

Your analogy might have some legs, except for, history has already proven you wrong.

[Strident]

I dearly hope you’re right. About the populace being immunized to the bomb-throwing. I know any rational person would be, by now.
