Does that explain everything ?

What makes you think that they are Democrats?? Just because that's what they choose to call themselves? They can call themselves what they want ,but they certainly AINT democrats.

Trump is being used as a whipping post for the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Nobody's got any real issues to claim credit for except Trump successes.

😀

Exactly what accomplishments and successes?

I'm sure he will carry on unperturbed, it's an illness.

yeah a Democratic republic, pure republics aren't necessarily Democratic. but in the end we are bound by the Constitution not the republic or democracy, if the Constitution guaranteed social democracy, or a merchant republic, or feudalism then we'd be one of those instead.

Look up Trump's first 100 days. A lot of things he did that the media reported very little on if at all or took it way out of context to make him look bad. It all boils down to they want us to bow to China. Trump undid or tried to undo our ties to China but his hands were tied so only got one leg to stand on because he was blocked. Therefore having one leg is pretty wobbly.

So did Trump actually. He was their playboy and then turned on them all when he saw how everything was going to # but with a house divided against itself and him not much he can do other then crappy executive orders which every President has abused since Nixon.

Despite the hype from the alt news places (Which I wouldn't trust with a ten foot pole I believe they are political hacks to appear like they are fighting back)
I actually knew he wasn't going to get much done but he did bring our military back to some degree after Obama all but steamrolled it.

The US Constitution does not mention the words "democracy" or democrat".

It does mention "republican" just once.

However, the Constitution mentions the word "vote" 36 times, and "the people" 10 times, and "majority" 14 times. So those are very specific to a democracy.

And then we come to the issue of how very general and unremarkable 'republican' type governments are:

By definition, a republic is where supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives. So, in fact being a republic does incorporate democracy.

You cannot claim that the USA is a republic and also not a democracy.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God , indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

And Democrats don't also make that pledge?



By the way, only Americans would make that pledge, anyway.

The majority of the people on the planet look upon granting some weird devotion to an unconscious piece of cloth as something lunatic - the equivalent with having a love affair with a sock puppet.

My parents just reminded me and I had completely forgotten until now but now I remember when it happened in 2018.

Trump saved the WTC complex from a mosque being built over it which would've been a spiritual slap in the face to all the victims down there.
Muslims do it as symbols over nations that are 'defeated' in their eyes and the left pushed for a Muslim Mosque to be put where the Freedom Tower lies. Trump bought it out financially and put a major to it so it couldn't be built. I remember Breitbart had something about it but so much political BS it was lost in the noise. The comments of BB are fake to me.

It's not the cloth we are devoted to. It's the ideals and principals. The cloth is just a tool we focus it on. You have the freedom to choose to pledge or not. That's one of the very things we fought for. The crown gave no such choice and tried once again in 1812 to tell us so.

It sure feels like it. Sometimes I wonder if he was playing along allowing himself to be the whipping boy so all of us who are ready to defend the US Constitution will look like tinfoil nutcases for daring to speak for our country.

Actually, there was no plan to build a mosque at the ground zero monument site.

There was a proposal to build a cultural center, "Park51", 9 year after 911, that included in the plans a mosque, a swimming pool, a gym, a basketball court, a 500-seat auditorium, a restaurant, a culinary school, a library, and art studios. But this was the equivalent of 6 'Lower Manhattan' blocks away from ground zero. So far away, that you can't see the ground zero monument from the proposed 16th floor of where the project was supposed to be located.

Trump did offer to buy out one stake in the project, but the entire project was $100 million, and Trump only offered $6 million, so it was hardly anything more than an investment stake and could not possibly have changed the project if it had been serious and received enough investment capital to proceed.

This is the problem with believing someone who is world renowned for their BS.

The 1812 overture was written by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, about Napoleon's invasion of Russia, when the Russians successfully repelled Napoleon's 'Grande Armée'.

- Nothing to do with the US revolutionary war, or with monarchy, or with taxation, or with the British.
