I still don't don't get why you keep bringing up Planned Parenthood funding. That has been a huge misstep by the Trump administration and yet you continue to bring it up.
He did all "he" could do. Let's see what his supreme court picks do.

How do you figure?

One of his biggest criticism among conservatives, has been his huge budgets. That isn't exactly doing all he could do.

It is ok to disagree with the president from time to time. You won't be kicked out of the maga club. At least I don't think you will be.

He didn't enrich himself with foreign money under the table while giving away our jobs, intellectual property and sovereignty. Oh well, let the decline continue under the Biden and Clinton machine. :lol:

That was my biggest disappointment. I really thought he and Paul Ryan could make Magic on the budget. Turns out Ryan was a turd

This is why when it comes down to it, I can respect your opinion. At least you can admit one of Trump's most glaring missteps as president.

I obviously have a whole other list of things about Trump I found troubling but there are a few things like this that I'm surprised so many Republicans have let slide. Especially the first 2 years.

Conversely, this is why it impossible to take you seriously. Even when I agree with you, you make it hard :lol:

Ok....stay with me here.
AT and T is looking to sell
Trump is looking to buy...
They already have the biggest infrastructure in the World. He would enjoy noting more than declaring the age of #fakenews is over. Plus he could create a reality show of who stays and who goes. Can you see Stelter, Lemon, Cuomo and Acosta back stabbing each other and sucking up to Trump to keep their job?
Please. Please let this be a thing....

It won't be a thing but it would be kind of funny to watch. Especially Lemon and Acosta. Those 2 are brutal to listen to.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he swooped in to "save" fox news.

Fox isn’t for sale. AT and T needs to cover debt. They’ll take what they can get for CNN. Plenty of slots for up and coming conservative types

I'm not convinced Trump has the money to make that kind of purchase but crazier things have happened.

I am not sure Fox or CNN will catch his eye. He has flirted with the idea of Trump News Network for a while. He would probably feel more satisfaction putting CNN and Fox News out of business. Both are long shots but it seems like something he'd be into.

I was listening to talk last week and heard that O'Riley was approached by a group who were interested in starting a conservative cable news channel that would involve Trump, perhaps by licensing his name. Sounds logical in that he could make some money while also have something like a weekly show to stay relevant the next four years.

Trump makes him money in licensing his name and real estate. I can see him licensing his name to this but maybe taking a more active role than normal

Just wondering if the baton has finally been passed on to Pence. He's been campaigning in the GA Senate race and he took the vaccine on live TV. Should be interesting.

Noticed that myself. He did a good job standing behind Trump. But I'm afraid he doesn't have near enough courage to confront all the corruption. The Communist Chinese government has bought everybody in sight. Trump was sort of like a hail Mary to slow it down. As a Christian who pays close attention to prophecy I realize things get worse. :wink:

Pence is the strong and silent type. If he got in, he'd be good. Question is--will he get in?

With Trump self-destructing before our very eyes, what does the future hold for Mike Pence?

Who will inherit the positive aspects of Trump's legacy--the economy and the judges?

Will Trump eventually remove the knife from Pence's back--and fully endorse him?

We need to return to a more common sense approach.

IF and, big if, the Republican Party can fully separate itself from Trumpism and get the people to do so as well, then someone else can pick up the Baton. Maybe someone like Sasse could do it. Probably won’t be anyone from Trump’s orbit, sorry to say for Pence, the health of the Republican Party depends on moving on from anyone connected to him.

The alternative is that enough people stay as Trump loyalists that the party splits and we see Democrat control for a decade before whichever Conservative party emerges is organized enough to start competing.
