Your posts suggest a young immature person who hasn't had the benefit of life experiences. After my induction into the US Army I stood in line with several hundred soldiers and received pneumatic injections of vaccines in both arms and we never questioned what they were far. All we knew was that everyone got the jungle shots whether the destination was Nam or not. With your distrust and questioning of authority I'm afraid you wouldn't last very long in the military. Be thankful the draft is no longer in effect. I know at my age the COVID vaccine and subsequent boosters saved my life. I can say the same for my daughter who has immune deficiency disorder. COVID is again on the rise but it's not as deadly this time thanks to the vaccines and their effect on herd immunity. Vaccines have always been a part of my life and in elementary school we had mass vaccinations. I remember the typhoid fever shots that caused half the school to be sick for a day. Last time I checked typhoid fever is no longer a threat in the US thanks to the vaccine. All the youth in my small town stood in line for hours one Sunday afternoon anxious to get their polio shot. Thanks to that vaccine polio has been eradicated. You will go much further in life if can learn to be more trusting of others and rid yourself of paranoid feelings regarding institutions and authority figures. No one is out to get you my friend.

The only criminal candidate I know of is Trump and I never voted for him.

John Kelly confirms Trump privately disparaged U.S. service members and veterans

Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers” and "losers" during his presidency, according to a 2020 report in The Atlantic.

This mentality is how you end up still voting for these criminals.

Sure DeeDave - I'll call the same people who are perpetuating the fraud and ask them if it's true.

This level of thinking is how you end up taking 5 toxic boosters before a "conspiracy theorist" saves your life by outing the entire operation of deception and fraud.

I grew up with windmills ( aka wind turbines ) dotting the farms between Newberry and Columbia. If you don't know what they are check out the one next to Boozer Shopping Center. The new windmill turbines are all over California and many other states. You should travel more so you would know more about their existence. It's a fact that for two months this year wind power produced more electricity than coal. That's quite an accomplishment and speaks volumes about our country eventually weaning itself from fossil fuel. But it probably doesn't matter to you based upon your distrust of modern science. Are you still taking dog worm medicine or encouraging others to do so? As I recall Trump thought bleach injection might be the cure. Human coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s. The strain that caused our pandemic either came from a lab in China or crossed over to humans via a Chinese animal market. We don't know for sure but maybe a conspiracy theory fits you better. I'll be getting my covid booster, RSV and flu shot when they arrive at Publix next month. My unvaccinated neighbors have finished their fourth round of the COVID virus. Their son has had it so often he's developed a blood disorder. Like you they're also vaccine denier. Fauci retired as he's way past 80 but he may still be around in an advisory capacity. I didn't realize he was awarded the medal of freedom. I guess it's good that we don't know each other, otherwise I would have some empathy for you. I guess your life would be less interesting if you, like so many average folks, watched the nightly news and read the State Paper. I advise you to stay away from NBC, CBS, ABC, ETV as they would be boring to you as they all say the same thing. I bet if The State Paper was renamed The Deep State that would get your attention.

Trump could do a great deal of damage by executive order and sadly the only checks would be through the courts. He also has immunity in the performance of any activity construed as job related. When he says "you won't have to vote for me again" he means he plans to stay in power. I don't understand how anyone can vote for a person who wants to throw out the constitution and states he will be a dictator from day one. When I entered the army I took an oath to support and defend the constitution. It's similar to the President's Oath of Office but it means nothing to him. He disrespects military service by calling us losers and suckers. He only cares for himself and said as much during one of his rallies. "I don't care about you, I only want your vote". I truly believe Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy since WWII.

The full "dictator" comments that you are the left keep LYING about:

“Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?” Hannity asked Trump in the interview taped in Davenport, Iowa on Tuesday.

“Except for day one,” Trump responded. Trump said on the “day one” he referred to, he would use his presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling

Not "dictator from day one". It was a tongue and cheek comment about fixing the border and gas prices immediately.

But he should know better at the point. The left is nothing but a lie. Inflation is transitory. The border is secure. Joe is sharp as a tack.

It's like the left eats lies and their bodies turn them in riboflavin.

Well, that's a lie.

First, Trump didn't even propose any infrastructure bill until he's been in office over a year- despite saying he would roll one out almost immediately after taking office. Then, when Senators and House leadership were getting ready to work on actual legislation during Trump's self proclaimed "infrastructure week" Trump blew it up by saying if he was going to be investigated by Congress, he wasn't going to work with anyone on it.

In 2019, Democratic leadership reached an agreement with Trump on a $2 trillion dollar infrastructure program. Both the White House and Democrat leadership announced they had the basics of an agreement.

Democrat leadership said Trump had stated he would recommend how to pay for it and they would proceed to negotiate. But Trump never did release a plan. That angered not only Democrats, but many Republicans.

Biden got it done because he compromised. That's not my opinion, that's the opinion of the Senators that voted for the bill.

and given your awful memory- I'll remind you of how Biden got it done by quoting a Republican Senator- one of Trump's allies- Kevin Cramer of North Dakota.

Mr. Biden also dispatched top legislative aides and members of his Cabinet to reach out to lawmakers in both parties. Senator Kevin Cramer, Republican of North Dakota, said he received repeated calls from Jennifer Granholm, the secretary of energy, and legislative staff members — “always very gently and respectfully” — to discuss the emerging deal and “take my temperature” before he voted to advance the measure.

Multiple senators said the president and his team spent hours with them in person on Capitol Hill and on the phone hashing out the details

I'm conservative on a lot of issues. I'm a strong "law and order" type. I have little sympathy for those who run from the cops on a "stop" and then claim "police brutality". I say "keep your hands on the steering wheel and do what they tell you. If afterwards you feel there has been brutality, that's one of the things lawyers and courts are for. If you are right, you might then win 'life changing money'".

I'm against Affirmative Action and DEI.

I'm against letting people off from paying back their student loans. If you borrow, you have to pay back (hope I'm not stepping on any toes here; but it's how I feel).

I don't like debt, for myself nor the government.

I'm against "Medicare For All".

Right now, that's what quickly comes to mind.

I voted for Reagan twice. I voted for Mitt Romney (not anti-Obama but more pro-Romney). I liked Mark Sanford a lot. I always voted for Molly Spearmen when she ran for State Superintendent of Education. Locally, I tend to vote Republican. I supported John Kasich for President in 2016 and Chris Christie last year. I will admit that prior to supporting Kasich in 2016, I liked and was for Trump. But, I changed my mind on him fairly quickly.

Well, I don't agree with that. We will see. I think IF Trump loses, it depends what the margin of loss is. But, that's a big IF regarding him losing. Hypothetically, IF there was to be a blow out, I believe you'd see a lot of Republican pols stepping up to put a knife in Trump.
