    But for the daily attacks by our own so called media, Trump did a hell of a good job. That is why so many millions like me wanted him to stay our president.

    Advertising is vital to parties. And the Democrats needed not to advertise much at all due to the lousy job our media did to Trump. As they currently favor Biden, his damage being wracked up is actually praised by the media.

    No, he never did a hell of job. Prior to Jan 2020 he was ok, did not **** up too much. But that all changed.

    And that is why even millions more did not want him to stay.

    It took me until I reached about 40 to realize the bunk crap spread by Democrats is bunk crap. A lot of posters here who are under 60 think Biden is great. They are sadly in enormous error. But Biden has our media on his side.

    What we once had in a balanced press shifted almost entirely to favoring Democrats. Not for sound reasons, but for the media they figured they had the ammo to win elections and they proved this past election they are correct.

    I do not judge the entirety of a mans presidency on a disease he did not create.

    Trump accomplished a hell of a lot that Biden is destroying.

    I am a bit shocked you base a career on one disease.

    with any luck you will soon realize the bunk crap spread by Repubs is bunk crap as well.

    There is no party worth supporting

    Seems you are a dedicated anarchist.

    When all Democrats do is call republicans names, republicans are forced to defend themselves. I know about that too.

    We can line up each major issue and you will see Trump did a good job.

    Border protection. Excellent.

    If a pitcher throws 8 innings of no hit ball and then gives up 12 runs in the 9th....guess what he will be judged by that 9th inning.

    A person's value is determined by how they handle the hard times. Anyone can be POTUS during a booming economy and look good.

    Also, the damage he did to the country after the election is worse in the long-term by how badly he ****ed up the COVID response.

    We can evaluate Biden right now.

    Washington DC a small city. Can Biden convert any city to a state?
    Hordes entering the USA on our border. Will Biden try to stop that?
    Eliminating the filibuster, so often used by Democrats. Can Biden kill that?

    Trump will be judged as was the Democrats when they alleged the elections were frauds. This did not harm Democrats.

    Trump was just the president. Not our Commanding doctor.

    You claim both parties are bad for America. You appear to support Democrats. I think you admitted you do.

    To help a party you denounced? The filibuster is the basis of a good Senate.

    No it is not, especially in its current form.

    The senate did not start with the filibuster, it was added later. It was not intended by our founding fathers.

    Also, when it was added it was an active event that had an end. If they would at least go back to what the filibuster as it was created that would be a good step.

    No, you mistake my criticism of your party as support of the other...that is not realty.

    You are confusing the baseball manager with one of the players.

    We had a tepid economy at the end of Obama. Need you be reminded you also denounced Democrats?

    Baseball is one of my powerhouses.

    See for 3 years I sponsored fast pitch softball played by adult players. We got to 2 in America in my final season of sponsorship.

    I had a manager. I spent time managing him. I recruited some players that helped us win CA title and 2 in the nation.
    A lot goes into a pitcher. How much talent does he have? How long can he pitch? But vital to a pitchers success is the owners of the team as well as how good are the rest of the team.

    I had speed galore in my first 3 spots up to bat. We were a hard hitting home running team.

    Granada Realty of Fremont, CA was my team. They played as a team for me for two years.


    Twenty teams including 15 regional champions descended on Tahoe City on Labor Day Weekend for the 1978 ASA Nationals. The host team, Perata, playing on their home field at 6,300 feet, was tagged as one of the tourney’s early favorites.

    But after winning over 50 games and five tournaments in the ’78 season, the luck of the draw wasn’t with the Perata squad. A tough first-round game pitted Perata against Granada Realty of Fremont, the tourney’s eventual runner-up, and after being tagged with a loss in their opener, the Tahoe boys never recovered, going 1-2.

    “The draw really hurt us,” says Perata. “We were a California team but playing out of Nevada. They usually don’t put two teams from the same state against each other in the opening round.”

    S&K Rigging of Arcola, Illinois, won a 6-2 championship game over Granada. The title game was played at North Tahoe High School because “unseasonable” rain and snow that hit Tahoe City that weekend made Conners Field unplayable.


    We lost our final game to S&K Rigging when the cars were ice covered. It was extremely cold.

    S&K used a new tactic on us. They tried to disable my players by spiking them and by meeting them on bases with fists.

    We played 5 full games that last day but S&K only played 3 games. My team won all but 3 tournaments that season and we played the best teams in America. We played 107 games and won 88 percent of them I believe. I believe we played in around 12 tournaments. We had earlier defeated Perata and went undefeated. The report above was in September but it was in July I believe we had defeated all other teams including Perata.

    Peralta was one of the home teams so naturally this article spends a lot more time on them than on our 2nd place finish nationally.

    Granada Realty was the first realtor organization owned.

    I apologize to the forum for my failure to agree with much said above.

    The Senate also was founded to represent states and not be elected by the public at large.

    So, your stance is that Trump made things much better than under Obama.

    Lets try this on you then...these all cover years of both Obama and Trump with the turnover happening somewhere on the graphs. Can you show me on the where this "Trump bump" took place?

    Here is data from the BLS on jobs created each year. Can you show on this graph where we started to get more bang for our bucks from Trump?

    [​IMG]


    Here is the GDP, again when did Trump take over?

    [​IMG]

    how about for GDP growth...where is this sudden and massive change from Obama to Trump?

    Trump's list of how amazing he is! :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    You know, Obama has a list just like that, so you must think he is pretty damn amazing also.

    My side is that Trump was not much better than Obama. Obama was Ryan Leaf and Trump was Johnny Manziel. The latter slightly better than the former but both suck

    Biden no doubt is trying to extoll his greatness yet when do you speak against him?
