Alexander Hamilton's Erie Prediction Of Trump
One would think this was written in the course of the advent of Trump's power. Does this sound like Trump, or what?
"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’”
It was actually Alexander Hamilton on August 18th, 1792.

Our Republic will survive Trump and the jerks who continue to support him...
...but the cost will be high and will be paid by generations to come. We will not rebound easily or quickly from the degradation the Trump presidency has wrought.
How depraved does one have to be to empower this disgusting person...this blight on our nations character?
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

Every single sentient poster here knows it is a brazen abuse of office, and a shameless betrayal of the public trust to use the office of the presidency to solicit foreign governments to help undermine a domestic political opponent.
The only distinction between posters is that some here do not have the moral character to admit openly what we all know was a highly unethical and shameless sleazebag attempt by Trump to circumvent American democracy

Hello Frank,
They have to be depraved enough to realize that without Trump the party was being slowly eroded away by demographics so it's Trump or nothing.

Nope. Sounds nothing like Trump.

Define 'abuse of office'.
Biden undermined himself. He has only himself to blame. Trump never solicited any government to undermine Biden or any other political opponent.
The Democrats have, though.
The United States is not a democracy. It is a federated republic. It always has been.

Is that why the Republican party is growing like crazy?

To the Democrats, "abuse of power" means Trump having done something they didn't like.

It isn't. https://newrepublic.com/article/1546...ents-will-hurd People of value and conscience are fleeing the party. It is shrinking like crazy. Trump drew voters from the Dems . There were bigots and haters terrified as they went through life on the near left too. Trump's siren song lured them to the dark side.

...and YOU are so righteous?? Bull.
Trump made his billions because he is a successful real estate developer. All businesses have court battles.
Hey...just like YOU!
That's talent???
The U.S. military is the finest in the world. Do not insult it.
Wars are not despotism. Not using nukes is not despotism.
Trump stands for individual liberty and responsibility. That's why he won the election.
Not particularly popular. Got anything better?
Rapists are a danger to liberty. So are thieves, murderers, and fraudsters. So are Democrats, since they want to destroy the Constitution of the United States.
It WAS such a mess. He spoke the truth.
They do.

—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty [ consistently ignores and denies the Constitution of the United States. ]
when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity [ promises 'equality', 'fairness', 'compassion', all while delivering racism, division, hatred, and death ]

—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion [ The Republicans are 'evil'. ]

Nicely summed up. That's exactly what they mean.

Obstruction of Congress, the other one, could be summed up as not telling the Dems what they want to hear or when they want to hear it.
