He said it on TV

REPORTER: Trump said tariffs are a tax on foreign countries to enrich our citizens. So then why did he have to tell domestic automakers not to raise prices?

LEAVITT: Uh, that was a private conversation that happened. I'm not sure if that comment was made or was not made.

Apparently the White House official position is that Pam Bondi has the Authority as AG to override any Federal Judge ruling at her own discretion


REPORTER: A judge ordered that he should remain in this country. So are you saying that it's ok to ignore a judge's ruling if you don't like it?

LEAVITT: It was an immigration judge who works for the DOJ at the direction of the AG, whose name is Pam Bondi

Would love to get @Rob B. and @Stillwaterman take on this.


If you are making moves that benefit your adversaries - you're probably making the wrong moves.

It's a point in the wrong direction.

What if you view the entire world...or at least anyone that doesn't bow down and kiss your ring.....as your "adversary"?

That's most of his problem, he thinks everyone in the world is out to get him.

 

[CowboyJD]

That's most of his problem, he thinks everyone in the world is out to get him.

That level of paranoia….that everyone in the world is out to get him…is a pretty concerning trait for the President to have don’t you think?

Sure it's concerning. I don't know a sane person who thinks it's not.

 

[CowboyJD]

Sure it's concerning. I don't know a sane person who thinks it's not.

Would you say your level of concern with that kind of paranoia exceeds, is less than, or equal to your level of concern in Biden’s diminished mental capacity when he was President?

So where has all that tariff money been going to? Does it ever get audited?

With Biden, the complaint was that because of his decline, he was no longer making the decisions.
Unlike Biden, Trump is pure cult of personality. So far, no matter how insane, they support it.

How far can Trump go before someone steps in and makes the decisions?

If you're asking me if I regret voting for him over Kamala, no. I'm concerned less with the narcissist than the criminal.

There were far more complaints with Biden than his mental decline. Hell I sure didn't dislike him for aging.

And according to a lot of liberals, Elon was making the decisions from the jump.

Liberal candidate won the Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin even after Musk did major campaigning there. But also the referendum to require a photo ID to vote won. People just want common sense and for the craziness to stop.

Is Wisconsin gonna hand out free photo ID's now?

 

[Vakarian74]

Is Wisconsin gonna hand out free photo ID's now?

With ease of access.

 

[cowboyinexile]

With ease of access.

This. Make it where getting a photo ID isn't a hindrance to voters and I'm all about it. But if voters have to jump through hoops just to exercise their right to vote, then it's a poll tax.

 

[CowboyJD]

If you're asking me if I regret voting for him over Kamala, no. I'm concerned less with the narcissist than the criminal.

That’s not what I was asking. I was asking what I was asking. That thing you didn’t answer.

Now Trump is a narcissist rather than a paranoid.

Huh. Already backtracking and minimizing.

And I’m assuming by your statement that you don’t view Trump as a “criminal”. That’s odd given the legal history of both.

The polling place was packed when I got there after work, so good turnout for the spring election. In Kenosha, we also made sure the Moms for Liberty candidates didn't make it onto the school board, so that was a nice win too.

And just for everyone knowledge, Wisconsin already has some of the strictest voters ID laws. This referendum was to put it into the constitution to make it more difficult to challenge. Additionally, the wording could lead to difficulties for anyone who's legal name doesn't match their driver's license and could be used to inhibit early and mail voting. It's passage was the only downside of the night.

Typical. I give you an honest answer and you throw accusations of "backtracking and minimizing".
I was worried about far more with Biden than his mental decline, so your question wasn't really relevant.
Every narcissist I've ever known is paranoid.

You didn't give me an honest answer.

You completely avoided the question I actually asked you and answered your own strawman question that I didn't ask. You even admit that in this response by arguing that my question wasn't "really" relevant. Relevant to what? Why you voted the way you did? I didn't ask you that. The question you question you asked if I was asking (which I actually didn't ask).

You STILL haven't actually answered the question I posed.

"Would you say your level of concern with that kind of paranoia exceeds, is less than, or equal to your level of concern in Biden’s diminished mental capacity when he was President?"

Btw, narcissism and paranoia are two completely diagnosis and mental conditions.

As you say......absolutely typical.
