Everything you need to know about the Trump cult ...

From ABC News:

Mary Ann Mendoza pulled from RNC lineup after retweeting anti-Semitic QAnon conspiracy
Mendoza was scheduled to appear Tuesday night in a video message.

A speaker scheduled to appear on the second night of the Republican National Convention was pulled from the lineup hours after she promoted an anti-Semitic QAnon conspiracy theory on Twitter.

Mary Ann Mendoza was scheduled to appear about an hour into the convention Tuesday night in a video message, one of several women voicing their support for President Donald Trump.

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh confirmed that Mendoza was dropped. "We have removed the scheduled video from the convention lineup and it will no longer run this week," he said in a statement to ABC News.

The campaign did not cite a reason for dropping Mendoza, but the move comes after The Daily Beast reported that early Tuesday morning, Mendoza shared in a since-deleted tweet an anti-Semitic thread on the Rothschilds, a Jewish banking family. The thread claimed that "malevolent Jewish forces in the banking industry are out to enslave non-Jews and promote world wars," and included references to the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, the Daily Beast said.​

This should tell you everything you need to know about Trump and his enablers.

Are you actually supporting the "Trump Cult"
with the story about dropping the anti-semite?

I comes as no surprise to those of us who saw through him as he rode the escalator to announce his candidacy. I think its notable that the only living former Republican president makes no appearance at the convention.

What do riots and burning down whole towns tell you about Biden and his enablers?

This points out the problem of trying to characterize candidates
by the worst of their followers. Are all Democrats xenophobes
just because Bette Midler is? Nah, of course not.
At least the OP shows that parties will sometimes shun people
who express such bigotry. Far from perfect, but a positive step.

I'm merely illustrating the irony, lol.

Demicraps and Republicants... All the same to me. It's like having the two absolutely dumbest sets of people in charge. I'm still waiting for people to figure it out.

So the counter-argument is gross incompetence in her case. Or maybe someone with a modicum of sense realized that to give a convention slot to an anti-semite would cost trump votes and that's the only reason she was pulled.

Oh, please DO share with us the imaginary towns that you claim have been burned to the ground by rioters.

And that's why republicans keep getting into office, because folks like you buy into the 'false equivalency' that 'both parties are the same'.

 

[Revoltingest]

I caught that.
But we're not allowed to criticize both sides.
It's the "false equivalency" fallacy.

Demicraps and Republicants... All the same to me. It's like having the two absolutely dumbest sets of people in charge. I'm still waiting for people to figure it out.

Oh, but they each see themselves as the saviors of all that
is good & decent in Ameristan. The other side is evil, &
unworthy of anything positive being said.

Even when they do something positive, it's still negative,
ie, always trying to find the cloud inside a silver lining, eh.

It's just like pro-wrestling man... Opposition in front of the cameras, sharing beers behind the scenes. Many of these politicians in-opposition actually have director roles in the same companies that contract with the government. Do they truly have a beef? Certainly not.

The individuals who are involved in the parties are like wrestling fans -- one guy is the 'bad guy' and they're just as vehement as your average football/soccer drone. But, that's because they're all sheep -- not because they're geniuses or anything. The only person not in on the scam is Donald J. Trump, and they all secretly or overtly hate him. That's the only reason I like him, lol.

Republicants (as in they do nothing when they actually get there, lol) are going to get into office a lot more because all of the Democratic enclaves are experiencing an exodus. California is going to flip red, so get used to them winning. It's only a matter of time. That's not because the Republicants are doing anything special, but that the Democraps are down with crazy and independents don't vote for crazy.

Wow, what a delusional world you live in... one where Obama and Biden are the 'crazy ones' and the idiot in the White House is the 'sane one'. That's precisely the kind of thinking that is dooming this nation. Thanks mastermind...your false equivalencies are killing us.

Biden is permanently AFK as far as I'm concerned. If people wanted more Obama they'd have voted for Hillary instead of Trump, so the point is moot. Biden could have ran and done some Obama 2.0 action... It didn't happen.

Anyway, all the doomsayers are idiots regardless of their party affiliations. We've had 3 years and almost 9 months of Trump -- the country is still here, and likely would be doing fine sans the COVID generated nonsense. I will take Trump's idea of economic recovery over Biden's any day because Biden is a complete idiot, and Trump has proven he can accomplish that task. I might not like much else about him really... But, repairing the damage I know he can do in spades. Personally, I never had a harder time economically in my life than under Obama-Biden... You can take that crap to the curb, and I'm completely not interested, lol.

Wow... your ignorance is truly phenomenal. Perhaps you've heard of this thing called The Great Recession... it happened JUST as Brush II was leaving office and JUST as Obama was coming into office. You remember... when the economy lost close to 30% of its worth overnight... unemployment was at 10+%... the banks were about to collapse and send us into another Great Depression...any of this ring a bell with you?

If so, then apparently you spent the 8 years that Obama spent FIXING a ruined economy BLAMING him for the ruined economy he spent 8 years fixing. How freaking brainwashed can you get?

Now THAT'S crap you can take to the curb.

Except that the bank troubles were mostly coming to a head four years after Obama was in office, during his second term... Obama didn't do **** about it for all that time, but make it worse.

The problem doesn't really start with Bush, it starts with Clinton and his China deals. Deals that Bush & Obama were completely on-board with. If you're blinded by parties you'll fail to see that basically politically Clinton, Bush, & Obama were the same. They're all just China-sellout globalist neo-cons. All the faux economy growth during Clinton's term was due to incentive-izing farming out critical infrastructure into China. After that had all been done, the growth stopped... Most of this happened before many of the people here had their pubic hair, so no fault really if they don't remember it.

Biden means more taxes, possibly TPP-type arrangements, and more selling our souls to China. Regardless of how I personally feel about Trump (and I'm just kinda meh on that) I know he's 100% against that sort of thing. I'll never vote for anyone that isn't 100% against China, bottom line. But, there is another factor... Biden will want wars... (this is how neo-cons pump the economy...) Trump is against them... I'm down with that too.

That's a weird way of spelling "Nixon".

Well, I just speak from life experience here. It might have started there for all I know, but the economics of it didn't cramp my style until Clinton.

The Reagan period economically was probably the best my family ever had it. My professional life basically started at Clinton, and it was OK for awhile but started going negative near the middle of his term and then got worse. I, like many others, use the extremely complicated metric of how well I was doing, lol. Trump feels like a breather in comparison to the others... Trump was great for my wallet, still is really, so there is that. And, with that being improved my quality of life is up, so politics aside... That's why I think how I do... right or wrong it's irrelevant... My life was the worst during Obama-Biden, so I'll never vote for anyone in that group. They can stuff it.

 

[Tambourine]

Well, the upside to the Reagan administration seems to have been that, unlike Bush and Clinton, Reagan didn't really believe in balancing budgets. It's only natural that the combination of slashing taxes across the board while keeping spending sky high would benefit a country's economy.

How pathetic! Obama inherited a ruined economy from Bush and you think that SOMEHOW he was supposed to fix it all overnight? He managed to avoid the depression that most economists predicted and started record job growth that continued over the past 3 years. All Trump has done to the economy since he got into office is damage the steel industry and farmers with his trade war with China and added trillions to the deficit bailing the farmers out. IF you're going to try and claim that the last 3 years of job growth wasn't due to economic policies that Obama put in place but are rather the result of economic policies that Trump is responsible for, please DO point out specifically what economic policies he enacted that led to that job growth.

And you REALLY haven't been paying attention if you think that Trump wouldn't gladly start WWIII tomorrow if he thought he could personally benefit from it.
