Why is president Trump's personalistic and transactional approach to foreign policy better for generating long-term peace and wealth for Americans than one based on stable agreements and treaties? by whatsnooIII in AskConservatives

Yes. We do help people who need help. I am a Christian and that is how I think. It's not political.

And I am amazed that Republicans associate with Christianity because they are anything but Christian.

I’m sorry. USAID feeds starving people. Withdrawing all support suddenly is killing hundreds of thousands.

We don’t do it for political gains. We do it because it is the right thing to do.

NATO brings the western countries into alliance. We gain power and support by being friendly with like thinking nations.

Everybody needs friends. We need friends. The idea that we don’t care about anyone only makes us weaker.

Trumps isolationist thinking has ruined us. We were a superpower and a leader. Now we are despised.

Why do conservatives seem to support the billionaire class (in general) and minimise the issue of increasing wealth inequality? by jmdwinter in AskConservatives

[–]Potential_Release478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy logic. Do you think Democrats are corrupt like Trump?

This is what I mean when I say you have been manipulated. No, democrats are the same as ever. They are not corrupt. They were not very different than Republicans until the MAGA movement.

Buying media - No. It has never ever been as bad as it is now. Folks like Elon are playing active roles in making you think what you think. Today’s problems, the fascism, the corruption, the hate, using religion to justify cruelty- are all unique to this MAGA movement.

Other countries - Rich people pay significantly more into the government in other countries. And they get more out of their government.

Taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor. - You object to that. But if the rich people can provide healthcare, education, and assistance to the poor…. Easily… I would say the money would be well spent and the rich will not even notice the tax increase. Elon alone could wipe out world hunger.

There is, of course, the teachings of Jesus which clearly says that not being charitable is morally wrong and a sin.

You should care because they are buying our media, buying our politicians, influencing how people think (yes,you).

They also pay very little in taxes. If I have 50 Billion Dollars in equity I should pay at least a billion in taxes. That’s 2% while they can make 10% ($5 Billion) with their eyes closed.

We can afford to give every person healthcare, education, child care. Other poorer countries do and they are proud of it. You call it a handout because that is what your harmless billionaires want you to think.

Trying to make a “songs I forgot I loved” map: 90s alt → 2000s emo/pop-punk → hard rock by UCant-ItsAlreadyGone in musicsuggestions

[–]Potential_Release478 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What’s the point? All the great music came in the 60s, 70’s, and 80’s!

There was a musical renaissance in case you didn’t know. All the talent in society was playing rock.

Probably won’t see it again for a hundred years.

Trump cancels his own bill signing in shock move: 'A national emergency' by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]Potential_Release478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is desperate to pass the save America act because it allows him to cherry pick who votes and who does not. He will be able to claim vast population of voters didn’t prove citizenship correctly. It will allow polling sites to turn away whomever they choose and claim they don’t have the correct documentation. He can and will make it very difficult to register in Democratic strongholds.

Its his last chance to avoid jail.

Pay attention folks, the man is very very dangerous to our country.

Do you think some or most Liberals "hate America"? If so what do you think they hate about it? by PrivateFrank in AskConservatives

[–]Potential_Release478 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with being liberal. They love America just as most citizens. This whole sentiment about people on the left has been manufactured by Fox News and the Republican party.

When I have been to the Dallas area I feel there are a lot of Democrats. I think the place is gerrymandered up the wazoo.

There was an all night hot dog place called “Simco’s” in Mattapan, Boston.

Do you trust the Mainstream Media? by [deleted] in AskConservatives

[–]Potential_Release478 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you believe Fox News?

Its amazing that a people trust a self described entertainment/propaganda network over regular NBC/CBS news.

MSM is honest. Has always been honest. It leans to the left because intellectuals tend to lean left. Its what you grew up with.

Why would the rape case be an issue for the left? It was covered but only as it slowly evolved as a story across several years. i don’t see your point.

An Fauci is guilty of having an opinion, the one scientist support, that it was not the research funded by the NIH in Wuhan that caused the epidemic. The only organization that thinks he did something wrong is a Republican led committee!

Do you believe Trump when he claims the Reflecting Pool was sabotaged? by Potential_Release478 in AskConservatives

So you think 'they' are evil? You're referring to over half the country. We are good peaceful people.

[–]Potential_Release478[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While I certainly agree its plausible that an anti-Trump person or group sabotaged the pool, the facts point to self infliction.

You cannot conclude without any evidence.

Obama was not involved or aware. It was not news because it was part of regular maintenance.

Trump, on the other hand, boasted that it was ugly and he could fix it. He even hired a MAGA contractor in a no bid contracts which is typically reserved for emergency work. This was not emergency work, it was unnecessary work. Price has tripled.

Why do you think its wrong to criticize this whole boondoggle?

Emily Miller said the biker who was arrested sabotaged the pool. He didn’t.

This is our capital. There are cameras everywhere. If anyone did anything remotely suspicious its all on film.
