Oh, yes, easy! With the right lies, people can justify ANYTHING.
Just make it political and all of MAGA takes the side of that minivan driver.

If Fox told you that the guy on the bike was a Free Palestine protester, ALL OF MAGA
would have loved what the minivan driver did and Trump would pardon him.
(Of course it doesn't need to be true, and the term for him would be "Jew-hating Nazi")

You're now saying that I "would be able to “justify” using your fists to assault a woman", but I don't do that, because I have principles. However, many Christian fundamentalists have been in court for using their fists to assault women, in the vicinity of clinics like Planned Parenthood. They are acquitted after repeat violent offenses against women.
Many on the right think that violence against women is completely justified.
Some even support murder, life imprisonment and the death sentence.

However, it doesn't need to involve abortion, or the support, or just the IDEA of abortion.
How about any woman who accuses any guy, that your side likes, of any sex crime?
Do you think she should just fear someone's fists? And would no one support that?

They indeed have to buy the cheapest, but the cheapest that FOLLOW
THE REGULATIONS. You as a voter have influence on those regulations.

What you are referring to, are laws under the capitalist system, where the government BUYS IN services from PRIVATE companies. That's not comparing public vs private services. That's a system for transferring public money (taxes) to private profits.

Public transportation means government owned busses, that are managed, repaired and driven by government employees. That means that any surplus money from that system is going back into the treasury, instead of into the pockets of owners and shareholders. That means there are also no owners and shareholders with a profit incentive to maximize the prize for the users and minimize expenses on safety and quality, reducing your safety and comfort. The only incentive that the government has
is to balance tax expenses vs price vs quality, on which you as voter have an influence.

Obama Care was a big hand-out to the healthcare / health insurance industry.
It was still an improvement over the system you had before, where patients could just be denied care, with stupid and dishonest excuses, when health insurance didn't want to pay their bills.
If that increased the price of health insurance, it also increased it's reliability. What good is health insurance, if it doesn't pay when you really need it?

Here is your own FoxNews saying he had 'slippage' in the polls.

Recent national polls indicate that President Trump's approval ratings range between 42% and 47%, with disapproval ratings typically higher.

He's even just above water on border security, his main issue.
124 Days into his presidency, Joe Biden had much "better numbers".

AP-NORC Poll: Reported a 63% overall approval rating, with a particularly high 71% approval for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. This survey was conducted between April 29 and May 3, 2021.

Ipsos/Reuters Poll: Found a consistent 55% approval rating for President Biden
in early May 2021.

Gallup Poll: Although specific figures for May 2021 aren't detailed in the provided sources, Gallup's initial measurement in January 2021 indicated a 57% approval rating for President Biden.

When your guy lost in 2020, you didn't sulk in your caves, you all joined the fight
to DESTROY democracy. Liberals and lefties should not be "sulking", they should fight
to KEEP democracy.

If Trump does this, I would still like it, but ONLY if he doesn't turn it into a loophole
where the rich can call their big bonuses 'tips'.

If this is a clean bill, cutting taxes for actual tips, than I want Democrats to vote "YES" on it.
So, how many Democrats do you think will vote "Yes" vs "No"?

How many Republicans would vote in favor of that, under a Democratic president?

If you cared about people getting killed, you would say so about Gaza.
You only care about human lives, when it serves your narratives.

Ukraine surrendering to Russia will not stop the killing.
It will either turn into ethnic cleansing or starvation.
And then Putin starts the next invasion.

Statistics can be misleading:

It's a joke, but it shows where people's thinking goes wrong.

Why are all those crowds turning up then?

Face it, Trump is a stupid lying asshole and Bernie is an honest man
who people really like, because he actually cares about them.

If it was Clinton, they would not be saying it was suicide. YOU KNOW THAT!
If it was anyone but Trump, they would go after them. It's Trump.
Trump has been his best buddy for a very long time, and they are both horrible pervs.
He had his old friend killed, because he knew too much. No honor among thieves.
You could read it off their pathetic lying faces. They know!

At least you cannot say that with a straight face, so you know...

Bernie couldn't win, because even what you call left-wing media was against him. They treated him like he didn't exist. While he was filling football stadiums full of supporters, the so-called left-wing media showed an empty stage of a small room, where Trump was about to speak.
All the media, from 'left' to extreme right, is owned by billionaires, who don't like a socialist who fights for the working class. They like corporate Democrats who serve them and all Republicans who serve them.
The sad thing is that you listen to those corrupt media outlets.

That 'dottering old fool' organizes 10 times the crowds that Trump ever did.
He's not going to run for president again, but he is organizing the resistance.

You voted for Trump, you don't care about a president understanding how ANYTHING works.
How about 60 years old? That's more than enough life experience and also the idea that they still have some future left to have to live with the results of their decisions. An 80 year old only thinks about their next meal. Why would you trust them to care about investments for the future?

At least you are trying to stay active, that's important.

You said you can "pay a 30 dollar copay". A copay on what?
Do you have insurance, Medicare or Medicaid? I hope you inform yourself
on the 'Big Beautiful Bill' that Trump wants to push through.
It contains massive cuts to healthcare programs. It's almost 100% guaranteed that it will affect you, if they get it passed.
Do you understand that such a bill could mean life or death for you?

Of course, and when your MAGA FBI cronies are denying that he was murdered
and call it suicide, then I know that YOUR SIDE DID IT.

True, and when they were, they were starved to death by Russia.
That's why they are fighting to the death, to not suffer that again.
They want freedom and they are willing to fight and die for it.
They elected Zelensky and they are fighting for him, because he's not a dictator.
Meanwhile, you are believing the lies from one dictator and supporting another
to turn your country into Russia.

Ford saved itself, but Obama’s actions helped save the broader ecosystem that Ford depended on. If GM and Chrysler had collapsed, auto parts suppliers would have failed too, which would have badly hurt Ford, even though it didn’t take bailout money. Obama also returned people's trust in the economy. People don't buy a new Ford, when they don't trust the economy.

Explain what Obama crisis you were talking about, without any vague bullshit.

Obama fixed Bush's crisis and Biden fixed Trump's crisis.
I hope that the next Democrat can still find the pieces,
that will be left of your country, to glue back together.

A guy who went bankrupt 6 times will never be a good president!
Not only is he too stupid to succeed as a businessman, but he is used
to drop his losses onto his employees, partners and creditors.
That's exactly what he's going to do with the American people.

Don't be daft, Biden had no chance of winning. They just realized it too late.
The Democrats just needed to make him keep his promise of sticking to one term.

I agree that they are fools though. Bernie Sanders is showing them how to win,
but they still don't learn. Lots of them still keep thinking they need to move to the right to win, while it's absolutely clear that the need to be progressive populists and kick out the horrible Israeli donors and stop taking money from billionaires. When they show the people that they are working for them, the people will fight
for them in return.

The large majority has now seen how Trump is just reversed Robin Hood.
Maybe you still like that, but most people don't.

Oh, that not good man, that's way too high of a blood pressure.
Take the medication, sure, but please do more than that.
Drink more water, cut out the saturated fats and use lots of olive oil.
In your case, I would even suggest a glass of red whine per day.
And I very much hope that I'm not elevating your blood pressure.
I like sparring with you, but I don't want to see you hurt from it.

Of course president do get great healthcare, but that doesn't mean that they cannot get sick and die. It's not magic, it's science. When the body stops working well, that's always hard to fix. Prevention is better than relying on medicine for cures,
but presidents are not living the most healthy lives. They are also horrible patients, because they never listen to advice to take it easy, stop traveling, have your 8 hours of sleep. As soon as they do, people start asking questions. Have you seen how much older Obama got in 8 years. When he started he looked like a young man, but after 8 years he looked like the crypt keeper. His life after did him well, but he lived through the grind years. It showed that he was hard at work to improve the lives of Americans. You cannot say that from Trump. He didn't age at all from his first term, because he didn't work at all. The only stress he had was self-inflicted; breaking the law and get into trouble for it. In his second term he working just as little. He's more at the golf course than behind a desk. Maybe he's doing what the doctor ordered, but why don't you stop electing such old guys and elect younger people, who can actually do the job. I'm talking to both parties now.

Did you see John Wick?

It's not OK, when you don't understand the principles of democracy.

You're correct that sexism and racism is probably a big reason for why Harris lost.
Biden was probably the only white male Democrat that could loose from Trump.
Harris might have been able to win from Trump, if Biden had given her more time.
However, because of his stubbornness, Democrats were stuck with a candidate
who lost the primaries badly in 2019/2020.

I'm curious how much the US needs to go down the drain, before you would ever admit that Trump was not the best choice for president.

At least you are not a pretender, saying how horrible you feel for Joe Biden.

Obama SAVED them, after they almost went bankrupt, from Bush's crisis.
Is your brain really this messed up or is this your idea of a joke?

Could be true, but remember that they won't tell you, until they absolutely have to.
They don't want their stocks to drop, while they are negotiating.

That's not fucking him in the ass, that's DEMOCRACY; the will of the people.
He shouldn't have been the standard candidate anyway.
Presidents shouldn't get their second term for free, they should show
that they still have the support of their base. WORK FOR IT!!!
They should have had primary elections.

You think those politicians are entitled to their power.
Who the hell told you that dumb idea? How does that serve YOU?

President obviously get regular checkups, but do they get the finger in ass check every time? They should, because they're all old men, but maybe they think it's humiliating and skip it. I don't think that even presidents get full body MRIs several times per year, so things like that can be missed, when there are no symptoms, or the patients doesn't communicate any symptoms. They are still people, with lots of flaws. Some are even the most flawed human beings on the planet: Trump.

It's possible that he got the bad news and that made him decide to quit. However, there was also a massive pressure campaign going on to make him stop. It was very obvious that he wasn't going to win. Kamala didn't win either, but I think Biden would have lost much worse. At least the losses in congress are limited and some wins have made the difference even smaller. That's why Republicans need to CHEAT
to get their horrible plans through.

Well, I don't think Joe Biden gets the same crap healthcare most of you do,
and they 100% likely did a full body MRI. He can afford it.
So either they saw nothing or they aren't saying anything.
Why would they talk about the prostate cancer and not about a brain tumor?
There is no logical reason for that, because he's not in politics anymore.

Damn, that bad, eh? I have NEVER had a call like that.
I did have little cards, asking me if I want to sell my car, with a phone number,
under the windscreen wiper of my previous car (the Toyota) a lot.

That's billionaires who want to own EVERYTHING,
so you are forced to pay them, for everything you NEED.
Then they will never have to work a minute for their wealth,
while all of you, average Americans, are slaving to pay them.
And you call that "investments" and you think that's good.

Good job!!

Did any of you ever get a call, from some corporation that want's to buy your house?

Thanks for admitting it was YOUR SIDE, I was still suspecting some powerful liberals.
Now I'm 100% sure that it wasn't Bill Gates or Hillary Clinton.

Kudos for your embarrassingly incompetent handlers not getting caught red handed.
Maybe they asked the Russians to lend a hand.

You are painting a very positive future there.
How about some regulation on AI, to maybe try to prevent that?

How do people survive, when no one is working anymore?
When the billionaires own the means of production,
who benefits from the robots and AI making everything?
But, when there are no jobs, how do people buy everything?

Maybe we try to organize something, before 99% of people starve to death?
Or do you trust the billionaires to save everyone, by sharing what they have?

"liberals grandparents were stupid and didn't allow companys to profit and etc?"
Are you crazy? Are companies not profiting? Who else are?

The ones who want people to be drones is you; working drones.
Liberals want people to be free and self-reliant. It's in the term LIBERAL.
Maybe ask Grok, because you brain overflows from right-wing nonsense.

After everything we talked about, I would hope you at least started to understand
- Liberalism, classic and modern
- Neo-liberalism
- Libertarianism
- Socialism (as a slur and as what people really support)
- Communism
- Capitalism
- Oligarchy

Sadly, you are still confusing "liberal" with "communist", which is much worse
than confusing apples with oranges.

Strange idea: According to you "god" created us, but now you are saying that humans are now creating "god", and that would be the same entity. I think that's your inability to define "god", it results in EVERYTHING fitting the idea of "god".
How can you believe in something that is such an undefined concept?

Even if I believed in that concept somehow, what good does it do me?
It's such an inconsistent concept, that it doesn't provide me with any basis
for my personal principles and ideology. That makes it a useless belief, for me.

I heard this morning. That sucks, Joe doesn't deserve to go like this.
You never know where the cancer cells end up, but it's pure speculation to blame
his mental decline on it. Sure, he was declining, but he's also old. My father is only
7 months younger and is mentally declining at about the same rate.

I see a lot of questionable YouTube channels report that Ford is shutting down production in the US. Some are saying the same about John Deere. Did any of you here something like that, from more trustworthy sources?

Stupid bothsidesism again. Democrats have answers when they are in a hearing.
He is obligated by law to take responsibility for his actions.

You didn't listen, the county school gym is rebuilt to a health clinic.
There is public funding for projects like that, which are democratically implemented.

"While they are private, daycare providers are subject to state regulations and licensing. Also, some public funding mechanisms support access to daycare:
Subsidies for low-income families (e.g., through the Child Care and Development Block Grant, or CCDBG)
Head Start and Early Head Start (federally funded programs, but not the same as typical private daycare)"

When the funding for those projects is democratically signed off on, you can only democratically end it, not let a billionaire hack into the government finances and
cancel contracts.
It's not up to Elon Musk, or Hon Zelding, or you, to decide what's needed or not,
this was decided by A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS, and Elon Musk STOLE IT.

In poor areas, mothers have to work, because they cannot feed their kids on one income. In a lot of cases, both parents work multiple jobs, to keep their heads above water. Since private day care is ridiculously expensive, it's a great return on investment when the government funds public daycare.
Only rich people can survive on one income these days. Didn't you know that?

How wealthy do your billionaires need to be, before they finally fund those things?
Isn't that what you think is the ideal system? When does it start working then?

Why do you think people are protesting oligarchy?
Because they are fed up with billionaires deciding that one drs office in a town,
that's suffering high levels of leukemia and pneumonia, from air pollution, is good enough for them, but NOTHING is EVER good enough for those billionaires.

Of course you scare people away, if you threaten to imprison them for life,
in a horrible concentration camp, in a dictatorship, without due process.
The fact that you think that's justified just stuns liberals.

I tell you what's about then. EPA Administrator Hon Zelding canceled the funding for those projects, that was previously approved by the EPA. He couldn't explain WHY it was cancelled, he just kept repeating the same nonsense and eventually blamed DEI, without ANY justification.
It's another example of your administration just canceling important projects, and when pressed on out just say DEI, or waste, fraud and abuse, without ANY evidence. If he cannot present evidence of waste, fraud or abuse, HE'S LYING. They are just cutting everything that is important for people, and they don't give a fuck about who it is going to affect. If there was a good reason, he would be able to present it. If he thought there was a good reason, but he didn't know the details, he could say that and have someone provide the details. His behavior shows that HE KNOWS that their isn't a good reason.

When a project isn't executed correctly, the government cancels the contract with
the contractor, they don't cancel the budget for the project.

He is at a hearing, where he's supposed to take responsibility for his actions, as the leader of a government agency, towards congress. That's the democratic process,
and he's making a mockery of it, which should be reason for his immediate resignation.

I'm not arguing against the technology, I'm arguing against people who make believe that it isn't going to affect people, unless we adapt to it.

You have to do MAKE-BELIEVE, to think that what Trump is DOING NOW
would even be considered by Democrats.

They actually respect The Constitution and Amendments, YOU DON'T.

Can you explain what's DEI about building a new health clinic and three daycare centers, and upgrading the wastewater infrastructure, in Thomasville, Georgia?

Biden didn't try to introduce laws that are wildly unconstitutional.

When a 6/3 conservative Supreme Court says that Trump's law is unconstitutional,
than it's an absolute no-brainer.

If there is a "misuse of birth right citizenship", then solve it LEGALLY.
There is no doubt what the constitution says; if you're born in the US, you're an American.

100% undeniable:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

If you want to change that, get your TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY IN CONGRESS!!!

Here's a little tip for president Trump:

He doesn't need to keep a job anymore, he's LOADED and OLD.

They are using a British millionaire, so you won't mind that the jobs of normal Americans are affected. How can you read this, without understanding that yourself?

Musk’s AI Grok bot tells users it was ‘instructed by my creators’ to accept ‘white genocide as real and racially motivated’.

Why don't I use Grok? Because fascists will always be fascists.

Whaddayouknow, it actually works. Never had that before.

OK, so this horrible dictator who has people beheaded on the town square,
and makes women walk around in a tent, likes Trump more than Biden.
What makes you think that's a good sign?

Why would they give Trump the royal treatment?
Because they know it works with him, and he reciprocates.
And that should not be dependent on how they are nice to HIM,
but on how they behave in the world. Maybe if they stop funding terrorism?

What are your arguments here, that horrible fascists have done some good things too, so we should support horrible fascists when they are doing bad things?
Do you think that ALL the good things came from those horrible fascists?
Or do you think those good things would have happened, if we didn't have those horrible fascists?
Please explain your thinking on this.

Elon is/was pushing the limit of current technology ONLY on electric cars. His other projects are cool, but he keeps failing the goals he's setting. He's actually under-delivering compared to what the original scientists were achieving, but he is taking away their funding. The only thing he's good at is HYPING. That makes him look better than the scientists who were doing much better than he did, in SILENCE. The best example is his robots. They are incredibly humiliating, so humiliating that he replaced his robot dancers with humans in robot suits. Boston Dynamics wouldn't have needed to do that. Still, Elon acts like he's on the cutting edge of robotics, which is part of his HYPING in action.

Aks Grog this: "Can you do an analysis of the causes of the US having the lowest inflation in 4 years, right now?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChatGPT said this:

As of April 2025, the U.S. inflation rate has declined to 2.3%, marking the lowest level in four years. This reduction is notable, especially considering the elevated inflation rates experienced in recent years.
Factors Contributing to the Decline in Inflation

Several elements have played a role in bringing down inflation:

Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve's monetary policies, including interest rate adjustments, have been instrumental in controlling inflation.

Global Energy Prices: A strategic increase in oil production by Saudi Arabia, as part of the OPEC+ alliance, has led to lower global oil prices. This move aligns with efforts to stabilize the U.S. economy amidst trade tensions and has contributed to reduced energy costs domestically.

Consumer Behavior: Changes in consumer spending patterns and supply chain improvements have also helped in easing price pressures.

President Trump's Policies and Their Impact

President Trump's administration has implemented several policies aimed at influencing economic conditions:

Tariffs and Trade Policies: The administration has imposed significant tariffs on imports from countries like China, Mexico, and Canada, raising the effective tariff rate from 2.5% to 27% by April 2025. While intended to promote domestic manufacturing, these tariffs have led to increased costs for U.S. importers, which are often passed on to consumers, potentially exerting upward pressure on prices.

Energy Production Initiatives: Efforts to boost domestic oil and natural gas production aim to lower energy costs. While increased energy supply can help reduce inflation, the full impact of these initiatives may take time to materialize.

Fiscal Policies: Proposals to extend tax cuts from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have been discussed. While tax cuts can stimulate economic growth, they may also increase aggregate demand, potentially leading to higher inflation if not offset by spending cuts or other measures.

Conclusion

While the current administration's policies have influenced economic conditions, attributing the recent decline in inflation solely to President Trump may overlook other contributing factors and the potential for future fluctuations. It's essential to consider the broader economic context and the interplay of various policies and market responses when assessing such developments.

=============================================================

So if you only care about inflation, his energy production policies are helping.
However, his Tariffs and Trade Policies are toxic, and the only good about them is
that he temporarily halted them. If he continues, that will raise inflation again.

His fiscal policies will increase inflation, unless he offset them by spending cuts
or other measures. What does that mean? He will do tax-cuts for the wealthy and spending cuts for everyone else. Maybe inflation will be unaffected, but the spending cuts will put less money in the pockets of normal Americans, making them even poorer, and less able to buy groceries.

You're Supreme Court is doing hearings on Trump's policy to roll back nationwide injunctions. Do any of you understand what is the issue here?

Trump wants to take away the right/responsibility of judges, even state and Supreme Court justices, to rule that a federal law, regulation, or policy is unconstitutional or unlawful.

That means that the courts cannot order to halts the enforcement of an unconstitutional or unlawful federal law, regulation, or policy, with the goal of preventing widespread harm, while the legal proceedings continue, which could take years.

Trump's policy is completely UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It would strip the Judicial Branch of most of its ability to prevent the Legislative Branch and Executive Branch of enacting unconstitutional or unlawful federal laws, regulations, or policies.

It's also highly unpractical. It means that it would "require individuals to file separate lawsuits in different jurisdictions to contest federal actions, potentially leading to inconsistent legal outcomes and delayed relief." Basically, it would flood the legal system with lawsuits.

What is questionable is the reason why you care if the Saudi’s are more confident
with your leadership under Trump. Do the Saudi's share your values?

Why do you like it that an Islamic terrorist supporting dictatorship feels positively
about your leadership?

Why don't you ask Grok the following question:
"What has become of the reputation of the US, with modern democratic countries,
under president Trump?"
