Ha ha. They (democrats overall) need to look inwards for that.
> Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others.
Fauci screwed up our country so bad, it aint even funny. The fact that he needed a PRE-EMPTIVE (i.e. he wasn't even accused of anything at the time) pardon says it all. And the fact that Biden gave it to him, says everything there is to say about Biden.
> And from what we've seen, he was right to do so.
Not even close.
> Although, they've been angling to declare his pardons void so they can go after whoever they wish.
They should.
- Look at what Biden did to the southern border. And look at it now.
- Look at almost any "democrat" run major city. Any. Then look at the crime rates and cost of living.
- And the recent farce that was this "No Kings" crap...
Trump isn't perfect. Far from it. He's got major flaws, both in character and execution. However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole.
- travisjungroth 1y ago> However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole. This is a ridiculous standard. Each of his policies (individually) only hurting some Americans is not a flex.
- kapone 1y agoEverything, always hurts “someone”. There is no universal good. The totality is what matters, not you, not me.

- zippothrowaway 1y agoI would say normalizing armed law enforcement wearing masks and refusing to provide any ID is utterly bad for the COUNTRY. Or maybe it's only bad for the people who get assaulted or shot by them and have no way of recourse. Let's hope that's not you, eh?

- ModernMech 1y agoPersonally directing the Attorney General to prosecute his political enemies and then firing prosecutors until he finds one who will agree to do it. Basically what Nixon was to be impeached for now happening on a weekly basis.
- kapone 1y agoCan you name some examples? I have a reply in my head, but I wanna make sure I’m precise.
- ModernMech 1y agoHe posted on Truth Social explicitly directing Pam Bondi to prosecute Bolton, James, and Comey. Then the DOJ charged them with crimes. In the James case, Kristin Bird and Elizabeth Yusi (prosecutors in EDVA) were both fired for refusing to bring charges, only to be replaced by Trump's personal attorney Lindsey Halligan (who is not even a prosecutor). In the Comey case, again they fired Erik Siebert, also from EDVA, because he wouldn't prosecute. They put Trump's personal attorney on instead and she immediately gave the prosecution a greenlight against a tight statute of limitations deadline. Just watch: today there was a report that prosecutors in Maryland are hesitant to bring charges against Adam Schiff. My guess is whoever is gumming up the works there will be fired and replaced by another Halligan.
- Zigurd 1y agoEasy: what passes for diplomacy has been so awful that nobody wants to buy weapons from us anymore, nor do they value our treaty commitments. Oh the irony of proposing to meet in Budapest.
- kapone 1y agoBuy weapons from us?? That’s your barometer? And they are not “our” treaty commitments. Treaties by definition involve more than one party. But out of curiosity, what commitments are talking here? Talking in abstracts is meaningless.
- beej71 1y ago> However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole. Any? His energy policy. I have plenty more.
- kapone 1y agoWhat about it? What’s wrong with it? Oil prices are down, we now produce more oil than anybody else, and enjoy low energy prices domestically. Where’s the problem?
- lovich 1y agoWe were producing more oil than anyone else prior to Trump coming in. We’ve been posting ATHs on that front for years every year
- kapone 1y agoI know, and yet...we were draining the SPR for some odd reason. Why's that?
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agoNow we're not, and yet, we're selling pardons for bribes. Why's that?
- lovich 1y agoBecause the energy market has more inputs than oil and that was a lever used to keep gas prices specifically stable. We already stopped that a while ago so I don’t know why you’re referencing it other than the blatant partisanship you’re showing across the thread. What level of evidence would you need to accept that this admin had done something negative?
- triceratops 1y agoElectricity prices are up. The administration is cancelling solar and wind projects because of ideology.
- jaapz 1y ago> However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". His foreign policy means even the EU is now looking inward more because we simply don't trust you guys anymore. Thanks, we were depending on you guys too much anyway! It will take a while before we're weened off of you for sure, but your global influence will shrink tremendously thanks to your current president's untrustwortiness. In dutch we have a saying which is roughly translated as "Trust comes on foot, and leaves by horse"
