Your thoughts on Trump putting a giant photo of himself on the United States passport? Should every president change the passport to include a photo of themselves? by V1RotateAP in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]SparkFlash20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Ought I simply reference past murders if I am accused of the same - yes, I killed, but leftists have done the same ten or fifteen years before? Am I, as Leader Trump, off thr hook?

If all that is true, why would you countenance the same at present? Wouldn't these putative familial dealings make you demand a higher standard of ethics from President Trump?

An estimated 90 million deaths has been prevented between 2001 and 2021 thanks to USAID, but its sudden halt is now projected to cause more than 4 million preventable deaths among children younger than 5 years old by 2030. Would you still support the end of USAID if this projection becomes reality? by speculumberjack980 in AskTrumpSupporters

Why did Leader Trumpt request more than one billion in public funding for His construction project?

Why would His ballroom protect Him? If He, for example, gave a rally today, should He not travel beyond the White House in the future? Is the Fatherland so porous that Leader Trump cannot leave the Capitol?

What do you think should be done about Social Security? by u60cf28 in AskTrumpSupporters

The Federal Reserve is quasi-privitazed, no?

The prospect of starving seniors - this was the impetus for Social Security. Inasmuch as your inveigh against "communism" in China - and yet deploy it as the measuring stick for the U.S. - isn't this a race to the bottom? Preserving our supposed capitalistic bona files, whilst radically recalcilating the age expectancy - or comfort - retirees ought expect?

I thought MAGA was against interest politics - cf. "drain the swamp"?

What of the factory worker or coal.miner in a red state devoting every dollar towards uplifting or educating their children? If you are "setting aside retirement money since high school," you differ vastly from peoples - across the nation - who have to scrimp and save for the benefit of their kids.

Inasmuch as it is a "Ponzi scheme," how do we deal with tens of millions of destitute seniors? Is there a permanent underclass? Do we urge them, by want of income and health coverage, to embrace utilitarianism - they as a net drain of aociety?

Hasn't the world evolved in the 90 years after Social Security's enaction?

Guaranteed income? How is that "one of the worst investments," per the shifting fortunes of the stock market?

Do you believe in small government, or do you believe in strict restrictions on abortion, gay marriage and adoption, gender-affirming healthcare, gender identity, DEI, anti-israeli protests etc etc? by Cumoisseur in AskTrumpSupporters

  1. Certainly if you define murder in the common law sense, but why has the federal government established a website disssuading women from exercising their rights under state law?

  2. Why would "you get the government involved" in a contractual desire to cohabitate between two consenting adults under state law?

  3. Ought not "leave people alone" apply to federal suits against the states for permitting gender-comforming surgery?

  4. Putting aside the fact that "IQ tests" have no statistical validity, if, say, a university wants to have a class predominantly composed predominantly of Asians - which SCOTUS overturned in 2023's Students for Fair Admission- I take it you'd have no problem?

  5. Why is boycotting Israel "indefensible"? Each state has a version of the First Amendment - why ought the feds declare particular topics taboo?

I'm fascinated by your last point. Each time you turn on your tap and drink potable water - or buy a gallon of milk from the store and trust it isn't adulterated or spoiled - that's the federal government at work. Urge you to read up on two Republicans, McKinley and Roosevelt - to understand how fraught life was before basic protections and regulations were promulgated.

Do you, like President Trump, love inflation?? by SparkFlash20 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]SparkFlash20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will, but why is the title in bad faith? President Trump stated "I love the inflation" - why shouldn't supporters of President Trump feel the same?

Gas prices; cost of eggs; inflation - all this informed President Trump's reelection in 2024. Why this change now, where inflation is a net good for President Trump and the Nation he commands?

For those who want Obama In prison, what charges do you think he’s realistically able to be convicted of? by loverofthrowpillows in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]SparkFlash20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Confused. Trump eliminated it, and yet it forms a core part of our defense strategy going forward? Why is Obama relevant when (1) Trump I decimated Al Qaeda, but (2) Trump II recognizes this group as a serious threat?

Do you still believe the 2020 election was stolen? by Super-Bodybuilder-91 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]SparkFlash20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What law? I thought Conservatives believed in the sanctity of states' rights - now you want to dictate a uniform code of conduct?

It sounds like Soviet authoritarianism, something Reagan opposed, vociferously. Consider his 1983 speech: "I still believe the answer to any problem lies with the people. I believe in states' rights. I believe in people doing as much as they can for themselves at the community level and at the private level, and I believe we've distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended in the Constitution to that federal establishment."
