« on: January 02, 2024, 10:26:12 AM »

   The new FBI headsquarters building is a go, no stopping it !  Matt Gaetz and other, worthwhile Republicans tried to stop it, but to no avail..

   So, I guess Trump figures,.... if he is served lemons. he can at the least make lemonade..

Interesting that his GOP "opponents" are quoted in this attack piece.

And this will drain the swamp? I guess it really doesn't matter. This country once ours is toast anyway.

  Pleaswe, first consider your news source. Newsweek being naturally hostile to anything Trump does.  Look how they started the article..

     " Former president Donald Trump's plan to build a new FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. has sparked a Republican backlash and accusations that he has failed to "drain the swamp."

   Is it Donald Trump's plan?  Sure doesn't sound like, since it has been voted on and passed, since he left office. 

   The rest of the article sounds much more like an anti-Trump "hit piece" than any "fair and balanced" reporting. ..Consider your source....

  They did however, quote Trump in his frustration in trying to nclean up the swamp..

  " The FBI headquarters should not be moved to a far-away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new spectacular building, in
  the best location on our now crime-ridden and filthy-dirty, graffiti-scarred, capital," Trump said.


  Clearly, Trump said that in frustrated irony...

Trump has a habit of talking before thinking.  We all have our flaws. He suffers from “Verbal disinhibition” He is impulsive to a fault.
I still don't see anyone better with a chance of winning against the Communists.

I said basically the same thing a week or so ago concerning his constant bragging. He attacked Kaley Mcanenny for reading a poll on Fox he didn't like.
Sometimes he'd be better off if he'd just shut up.

   Consider his background...  He is CEO of a huge, international business .. likely, somne of his CEO wys of running things and saying things
   sneak out in conversation.

   i do however, recall when speaking with several other old men around me before the 2016 election..  We all agreed that bthe country needed
    a "hard headed" business man, to get it back on the right track again.  We got a business man, and for 4 years the country did spectacularly well.

  Let's keep that in mind this coming November.

Nobody here is denying his presidential record, or that everyone here is gonna support him, and still we get an unsolicited lecture from the resident potentate, and so I guess it just makes sense that one hard headed braggart would defend another.

You forget your speaking to the choir? No one here is going to dump Trump for sticking his foot in his mouth. But there are fence straddlers out there who will. He needs to pull his head out, and stick to the basics. Like the economy, 2nd amendment, the damn border. If we don't win this next presidential election WITH Trump (NOT THE NEOCON N. HALEY), then were looking at the US being a total Socialist country by 2025. The US border is wide open.IT MUST BE CLOSED or WE are no longer a sovereign country with an identity.

  Golly Dee, don't be so critical of yourself... I would refrain from being that rude to anybody, but to each his own, I guess..

  Sure is strange though, we have an entire thread where several speak their opinions..but my opinion as offered, is somehow, offensive in the extreme..

 This country is over 34 trillion in debt, and we need to spend how much more for a new building?? Probably figure those 87,000 new IRS agents will get the money from the Amish! Look that story up! Trumps got it wrong on this one. Just another way people that don't/haven't earned it, spend it. Not their money!

There is more than a handful here who won't be voting for Trump.  I don't think I have to name them, but it doesn't matter anyway, because it isn't how people vote, it's who counts the votes and who cheats.
