Judge for yourself - here's a guide:

integrity (honesty, courage, etc.)

personality (charisma, cool under pressure, etc.)

intelligence (enough to converse with experts in myriad disciplines)

agenda (depends on your perspective - for example)

leadership (setting tone/expectations, talent recognition/delegation, etc.)

rarely - and they fully should expect to pay the price.

or, you can ask them:

Racial Injustice

Police Brutality

Criminal Justice Reform

Black Immigration

Economic Injustice

LGBTQIA+ and Human Rights

Environmental Conditions

Voting Rights & Suppression

Healthcare

Government Corruption

Education

Commonsense Gun Laws

Why not 2% and DOW 50,000??

Goals are not plans.

Because everyone knows Trump to be such a paragon of virtue...

'The president put “his own political interests” ahead of “U.S. national interests,” Bolton writes, “not just on trade questions but across the whole field of national security.” Virtually every decision, according to Bolton, was “driven by re-election calculations.” Trump’s behavior with Russia and Ukraine substantiates that indictment. So does his collusion with China.'

except Tucker knows that Republicans supported Trump because he is not a conservative.

If they wanted a conservative, they could have rallied around Cruz

Here's a case for permanent DST (same as ending DST, but shifted back an hour):

Less accidents

Less crime

Less energy use

Better sleep

More recreation and economic activities

but the other side is orange, which is red+yellow.

So, only scared Republicans?

Fox'y

Left sides matter!

You do know that Pocahontas was the name of a real person, right?

you should at least remember that there was a Disney movie...

Both sides would be wrong to support it, but some Democrats think they should because they know Republicans will eventually change the rule.

Pete Buttigieg: "We should consider it. I mean, that’s something the senators have to figure out but it’s got to be on the table because our sense of fair play among Democrats has bitten us far too many times for us to be naive about it."

The Senate should have a higher bar of consensus, but the trends are that Republicans would have a hard time getting to 60 Senators, and sometimes even with they have a majority of Senators, they represent a minority of voters.

Admitting new states is not something a president does - it would require a compromise to get through Congress.

Because they know not to trust that he will treat it with the nuance and care it deserves.

"Less regulations and tax cuts are policies."

Often, especially in Trump's case, short-sighted ones.

From your source:

"June marks the fourth month that has seen a noticeable increase in gun sales, with May, April and March reporting year-over-year increases of 80.2 percent, 71.3 percent and 85.3 percent, respectively"

Floyd was killed May 25th

Do you think it may be related to something else? It couldn't be due to the virus since that was going to be gone by February, or was it Easter, or maybe summer, or ...

- 0 examples so far

- "Right-leaning pages in total have a bigger presence on Facebook" ref

- "no research has ever suggested that Republicans have been disadvantaged on social media platforms." ref

The right purposefully causes deficits, blames the next Democrat, then forgets all about it when they get elected again - and that is the Dems fault, too. Interesting logic.

Passing a stimulus to recover from the Bush era recession added to the debt, but was necessary to turn the economy around.

Then Obama brought the deficits down to below Bush levels.

Then Trump nearly doubled them in what he was calling a great economy.

Right, definitely the left's fault...

Then Trump will help how exactly?

3 years to build 1 total mile of new fence was good?

https://americanindependent.com/donald-trump-border-wall-1-mile-mexico-immigration-customs-and-border-protection-cbp/

Fencing did already exist and more importantly:

"Border Patrol already employs a "digital wall" composed of about 8,000 cameras, which monitor the southern fence and ports of entry. Its resources also include more than 11,000 underground sensors, 107 aircraft, eight drones, 175 mobile surveillance units and 84 boats."

January 2017

He is spending billions for show, and the money will come from taxpayers - not Mexico.

"4.8 million new jobs during the month of June"

The US economy lost about 25 million jobs in April and May - was that due to his prudence as well?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/04/the-may-unemployment-rate-is-expected-to-be-near-20percent-as-millions-more-lost-jobs.html

Was misreporting the numbers prudent?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2020/06/08/theres-a-glaring-misleading-error-in-the-may-jobs-report-us-may-be-at-20-unemployment/

If the administration had acted faster, it could have implemented a system of paying people to stay employed rather than paying unemployment, which could have enabled a much faster recovery.

there was also a bi-partisan $2 trillion stimulus bill...

"successful programme of encouraging American Corporations to return to the U.S"

Less than under Obama

"the border defensive wall"

The passable land border already had fencing, and using military surplus steel is a much more pragmatic solution than paying millions per mile for little-to-no extra benefit.

Most immigrants in the US illegally didn't cross the border illegally, they overstayed visas.

Were immigrants dangerous when they came from Europe and the wait time was however long it took to cross the Atlantic?

Is it better to compete with a person on a level playing-field here, or against them in a country with no labor or environmental regulations?

Just like a salesperson (an most other people), a cop is generally concerned with what is in it for them -

a salary, 20-year retirement with pension, training, etc.

A government's goal should be to align those goals with the interest of society: low emergency call volumes, fast response times, high clearance rates, few complaints, etc.

"Move the nation's capital to the South or Midwest."

Sure, move it to the center of the country - Kansas, and take away its statehood.

"Put a Native American statue on the top of the dome at the Capital Building"

Maybe they can use 'Pokahantas'

then they can teach people the difference between capital and capitol

and how to spell Pocahontas - now that they love Native Americans so much

"Get rid of fillabuster"

So that an even smaller minority of the country can override the will of the majority?

"Divide Texas into four red states"

And California into 5 (and Florida, and New York)

and statehood for D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa

"An alternate option to Obamacare."

Sure, a public option

"Let Mexico have California"

Go the other way - buy/annex Mexico. Lots of beachfront, small border, etc.

"School choice"

Lots of liberals are for school choice (Obama even has a charter school named after him) - they just don't want to harm public schools in the process. In many areas, schools are a natural monopoly, and there are special regulations to ensure are enforced (teaching every child including the disabled, preventing sex-offender teachers, etc.)

"Aim for a 40,000 DOW.

"Get unemployment back down even further.

"Try for a 30 trillion GDP"

with what policies? aiming is not a policy.

"Campaign for Mike Pence or Ted Cruz for President vs Pokahantas Warren or Andrew Coronavirus Cuomo."

Instead of banning people for going to church in their car, we can ban people for talking to women...

"Bring more jobs back from China to America."

Through steel tariffs that cost more jobs than they saved?

"Pass legislation to protect non Marxists from being censored and banned from the social media monopoly."

will never happen. the politicians (including Trump) need the platforms even more than the platforms need them.

"Get the economy going again"

By borrowing from the future like his previous ideas?

"Protect statues of abolitionists from the overtly racist left."

Preventing military bases named after civil war leaders from being renamed
