I know folks who think Bernie Sanders is a conservative and not nearly far enough Left, and folks who think Trump is not nearly far enough Right, etc.

It all depends on YOUR position on things.

I see Pelosi as an "operator", someone who clings to power and influence and really has not underlying core beliefs. She's for whatever secures her power. She's far from alone in that.

Pelosi will do and or say anything if it keeps Trump from getting positive reaction from the the voters

Right now she is keeping us from sending out a 2nd batch of stimulus funds because the republicans wont shell out an additional 2 trillion dollars to bail out the badly run blue cities

pretty selfish

Yeah, she's playing politics to try and retain power. McConnell does the same thing. They are both "operators" in my view.

one of the reasons Trump gets so much grief from the media and the left in general is because he stands up to them

he doesnt take their crap without pushing back and it drives them crazy because republicans arent supposed to act this way

its these traits that his base loves and why their support wont go away

the left never has learned this and thinks if they keep giving him crap that will bring him down but his push back beats them every time

If this is held up as a good thing, doesn't that just make our discourse shriller and shriller? It's basically saying the president acts like OAM (take swings and such) with different beliefs, and because one agrees with those beliefs, it's a good thing.

It's not super shocking that if you act like an out and out jerk in someone's direction often, they will give you grief. That's the way human interaction works.

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a woman who was waiting for a bus was wearing a tight leather skirt. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.

Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still couldn't. So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little more.
For the second time she attempted the step, and once again, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg. With a little smile to the driver, she again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step.
About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.
She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and screeched, "How dare you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!'

The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

if you tell someone the same lie over and over pretty soon it becomes accepted as fact
thats the dem and the media approach
push back is necessary and without it you will be eaten alive by the left

does Trump push back too often or sometimes in the wrong way the answer is yes but its better to error on the over done side then to not push back enough

I wish Trump would be more Presidential or professional or whatever word you want to use. He does the bring the civility in the room down a level.

I actually don’t mind it so much with the media but when he called Biden a stupid person yesterday I just rolled my eyes. I’m trying to teach my kids you can disagree with someone without resorting to insults. It would help if the POTUS would reinforce that message.

"They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, 'If we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,'" said Biden, getting laughter and applause from the crowd at the University of Miami.

Yeah, I get it but I can’t help but wonder if this just a response to Trump’s incivility. Biden has been in politics forever. Is there a history of him saying he’d like to kick his opponent’s ass?

Not that he recalls.

Okay... Let's go to the videotape!

Quote
On your ballots, if you get the unsolicited ballots, send it in and then go make sure it counted, and then if it doesn’t tabulate, you vote. You just vote. And then if they tabulate it very late, which they shouldn’t be doing, they’ll see you voted and so it won’t count. So, send it in early, and then go and vote. And if it’s not tabulated, you vote, and the vote is gonna count. You can’t let them take your vote away. These people are playing dirty politics. Dirty politics.

So if you have an absentee ballot, or as I call it a solicited ballot, you send it in. But I would check it in any event. I would go and follow it and go vote.

I can't imagine how anyone would suggest he said to fill out your mail-in ballot, send it in early, and then go and vote.

Perfectly clear.

And I can't imagine that there will be a bunch of MAGA-hat Karens screaming, berating, potentially accosting poll workers on Nov 3 because they'd sent in their mail-in ballot but aren't being allowed to vote in person.

That won't happen. I'm sure of it.

Apparently, you missed the very first sentence in your quote.

see the thing that we sometimes forget is that Trump is not a politician he is a New York businessman and because of this he has a very low tolerance for personal attacks

he tends to lash out at folks who he feels lied about him

is this a good character trait not really

the other side of the coin is his base always knows he has their backs and puts America first and after 8 years of Obama thats very appealing

so like it or not Trump is going to be Trump rough edges and all but Id much rather be led by him then a politician

Biden told more than 800 ticketed supporters that Romney wants to repeal the financial regulations enacted after the Wall Street crash of 2008. "He's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules - unchain Wall Street!" Biden said. Then he added, "They're going to put you all back in chains" with their economic and regulatory policies.
