@freemo I think you're projecting.

@swiley I've met the man. Meeting him is a huge turn off.

@freemo That's what the closeted ones say.

@swiley He had dinner at my family home, as has Trump. Couldn't stand either of them honestly.

@freemo Trump wasn't forcing drugs on me.

@swiley No, he was too busy making fun of people with disabilities to the nation. If you think either of these people deserved to be anywhere in the government at all you've already failed to solve the problem.

@freemo I'd take being mocked any day over this and if you don't see why that makes sense you're an idiot.

@swiley Luckily you never had one choice or the other thats like saying "Sure he is a murderer, but id take that over vov who is a murderer and a rapist"... like ok, but you dont have to choose one evil person because you prefer he sort of evil over another evil person. There are **lots** of people to choose from.

If you cant see why your argument is absurd then you are an idiot.

@freemo Yeah that's because you don't live here.
Last year we did have a choice and everyone picked the guy who's forcing drugs on us.

@swiley Of course they picked the wrong guy. I just said Biden was the wrong guy... Trump was just as bad.. again you didnt have the choice of one or the other.

@freemo We literally did have the choice of one over the other.
And the worst thing you've said about Trump so far is that he says mean things.

@swiley Wow you mean to tell me you literally thing Trump, in and of himself, was a good president? I mean there are plenty of other things than being an asshole to disabled people, but if your going to defend that like it is barely an issue then, well we said, that would make you an idiot. (reminder you were the one who though it appropriate to use personal insults in this conversation, which says a lot about you)

@freemo Yeah he actually wasn't bad.
I hated the way he acted, that was awful and I won't defend it but he's the best we've had in quite a while.
>reminder you were the one who though it appropriate to use personal insults
You started this conversation with a personal insult, scroll up.

@swiley The sexual fetish comment? No thats not a personal insult, no one in their right mind would think I **actually** thought you had a personal fetish. you said "fuck joe biden" since fuck means "to have sex with" it was a joke and play on words, not the same as a personal insult.

@swiley as for other reasons to hate trump well there are the obvious surface reasons:

He demonstrated the intelligence of a small toddler

He was rude and even cruel to people without cause

His ego was very delicate and would have tantrums if anyone talked bad about him

etc.

But then there are more concerete reasons:

He engaged in masive QE which caused the highest inflation on record and, as QE does, we continue to see this massive inflation playing out today.

He rolled back tons of enviromental protections in a world that is barely scrapping by when it comes to keeping nature alive

and quite a few other things we could get into there as well.

There are more than enough reasons to rule out Trump as being even remotely competent.

@freemo
>QE
Do you think anyone would have done something else in 2020? I didn't like it either but I don't know what else you would expect
>He rolled back tons of enviromental protections in a world that is barely scrapping by when it comes to keeping nature alive
Our emissions fell while he was president.
The rest of your complaints are "he was rude and dumb."

@swiley No one in the history of the US has done the specific type of QE, or the quantity of QE Trump has done. In fact only one other president engaged in QE before, that was Obama, and it was of an entierly different nature and not really comparable (though arguably not great)..

So no, others would not have done what Trump did in regards to QE.

Funny though how your whole argument is basically "other people suck too" not much of an argument.

Secondly your argument about emissions is completely false. Attached is the chart of pm2.5 (fossil fuel metric)emissions normalized for the day Trump was elected... Does that look like emissions went down during his election to you?

In fact even if we try to find the few metrics that might cherry-pick its way for you seeming right you will find that while emissions may have decreased in some special cases the rate of decrease significantly slowed or even leveled off compared to the rate it was falling before he took office.

@freemo Your chart ends in 2018. Trump was president until the beginning of 2021.

@swiley Feel free to show us that chart of 2021 pm2.5 that you seem to think raised then... ill wait.
