Tens of thousands of Americans died of drug overdose thanks to Trump's ineptitude and failure. God made Trump. And then, right after God made Trump, God made fentanyl. And Trump let the fentanyl pour in from Mexico and kill the Americans God made. That's an old chart. But I posted that to highlight that fentanyl deaths went through the roof under Trump. If having Trump as President was a solution, the problem would have been solved. Instead, both fentanyl smuggling and American fentanyl death skyrocketed when Trump was POTUS. Nobody knew stopping fentanyl was so difficult, it turns out. Certainly not Trump. Trump knows one thing: how to make democracy fail. He is good at taking democracy and turning it into the black hole he lives and thrives in. Everything Trump touches dies. The obvious version of how Trump makes democracy fail is this. When you lose an election, what you do is break the bones of cops. That is what you do under Trumpocracy. You send your mob to the Capitol, try to stop an election, and beat the living shit out of as many cops as you can. That is how Trump obviously makes democracy fail. On border control, Trump stands within a longer right wing tradition of how you make democracy fail. Obama kept a tight border. And all the numbers show it. Obama had an immigration compromise that passed the Senate 2-1 in 2014 and almost became law. It was killed by right wingers in the House. So, since then, there has been no compromise. Trump for sure sucked at compromise. Trump for sure was helpless to do anything as fentanyl flooded in and killed Americans when he was POTUS. All Trump excels at is killing democracy. Biden is now close to a compromise, again. And the danger, once again, is right wingers in the House. And now we can add Trump who, by all accounts, wants to block compromise on immigration that most Americans want. Trump would rather have more fentanyl and more dead Americans than have bipartisan compromise that would make Biden look effective. Just like Biden was able to get the infrastructure law and gun control and health care and other popular compromises that Trump sucked at. Trump urges GOP against compromise on border That is because all Trump is good at is making democracy fail. And not knowing who Nancy Pelosi is, of course. Bingo T Dog 1 Quote

Again, have you been anywhere besides your mother's basement? Scare tactic? lol. The border crisis is a "scare tactic"? 75,000 Americans dying each year of fentanyl overdosing is a "scare tactic"? Wrong. These are facts. And the border crisis and many of the drug deaths lie at the feet of the dementia-riddled imbecile residing in the White House! Quote

And it's reported that Ivanka claims the trump stench is because donald sometimes goes days or even weeks without Melania changing his diapers, while Melania says her latest prenup states this is no longer her responsibility and that he's old enough to change them himself.

Almost all of your talking points would support Democrats, not Republicans. All legislation to improve working conditions have come from democrats, who are the ones, for example, to promote family leave. Minimum wages are lowest in states run by Republicans, and higher in the states by Democrats: The only talking point you've mentioned in which Republicans might do better would be in illegal immigration, though illegal border crossings definitely went up under Trump as well, and he failed to build most of the wall which he said he was going to build. Trump supporters still believe Trump's delusion that Mexico would pay for the wall. The situation is not quite as dire as some might lead one to believe, if one looks at the overall picture (not just illegal border crossings): Many illegals simply overstay their visa. Most of them do work and support the US economy. Biden could do a better job of discouraging illegal crossings, although under no circumstances could I support Trump's policy of separating young children from their parents. Who would do that? That being said, I do believe that if the Republicans in the House have a good plan to address illegal border crossings (I haven't heard of any yet), then Biden would be wise to listen, and at least compromise. Free health care exists only in a few oil-rich countries. The question is how to pay for it (insurance premiums or taxes, in which case which taxes?). forky123 and stevenkesslar 2 Quote

It took ONE YEAR for the drug overdose deaths to increase by 56,000 (doubling. Open borders have consequences. You completely missed the point. But then, that's predictable. Trump did three things with the border. First, he failed. Second, he failed. Third, he failed. Why bring back failure? Your argument is that a doubling of drug deaths is failure I agree. Trump failed. No matter how many lies Trump tells about winning elections or securing the border, he failed. There are broken cop bones and over 100,000 dead Americans from drug overdoses to prove it. All thanks to Trump. Trump is a loser. Trump failed. We need a bipartisan immigration deal. Republicans want it. Democrats want it. Centrists like Jon Tester are preparing for a big fight to win it. That is the best hope of stopping the fentanyl and stopping the drug deaths. And what does liar loser Trump want? He wants a "perfect" law, or no law at all. Just like his perfect Wall and perfect infrastructure bill and perfect ............................. NOTHING. The man failed at leading, and failed at getting laws passed. He opens his mouth and spreads hate and lies. But he can't get laws passed to deal with the border. Bringing this failed loser back simply means fentanyl deaths will double again. Just like they did when he was POTUS for four years AND GOT NOTHING DONE to stop the drug overdoses and fentanyl from flooding in. If Trump wants less fentanyl and less drug overdoses, he ought to get behind a bipartisan bill to deal with the problem now. Instead, all he wants to do is spread his own hate and lies and failure.

He did nothing to improve medical care in the US. Obama did, and Trump and his gang tried to repeal Obamacare. They kept saying they had a plan. They never produced a plan. He's a zero on that front. He did nothing to improve working conditions, minimum wage or paid family leave. Biden has. Biden is the most pro-union president we've ever had. He had done more to improve our economy, create jobs and increase wages than any president in my lifetime, in spite of Republican opposition. Trump, on the other hand, ran up the deficit, and downplayed a deadly virus costing hundreds of thousands of lives and tanking our economy. His ego would not let him admit that COVID was serious. As a result, many needlessly died, including many of his cult members who took horse medicine at his recommendation.
