Delightful! :hugs:I grew up believing that all women (or teens) always chose to have their babies. And if they couldn’t take care of them, there were options like adoption. It took careful explaining to show me that I was actually pro-life which I find much nicer. :hugs:
Whoot! He claims to be a Billionaire and all of his expenses are paid for, must be tough to pass on $200,000 per year.What benefit does Trump have to sell himself to Republicans? He’s not accepting salary for the job.
Hun? He included some of the richest people in the country in his cabinet/adviser people.. The tax cut package he got through the Senate and Congress has major tax breaks that favor the largest companies and richest people, clearly he has friends in these places, so please provide backup to this assertion.He can’t go in the same room with 95% of the people he used to do business with because they’re all liberals who reject him now.
Well if Trump wants to be struck by lighting, change his name, and view of the world I might go along; but he hasn’t. I’m sorry, we know his intentions, he will say anything to make people like him or give him attention. He’s not pro anything except himself.You would not like Saul of Tarsus before he was the Apostle Paul, even then you probably would not trust him right away! Think of Matthew or the line of King David. They all had faults of some sort We don’t know Trumps true intentions but as a Catholic, I will never vote pro-choice and he currently stands against abortion.
A good number that either had direct financial interest in the job, who opposed the mission of the department, or were woefully unqualified for the position.Yeah he included some rich people in his cabinet but they were successful people
And those are temporary.Fact is, 80% of Americans have lower taxes after the tax cut
Am I to look into his soul? If you’re refuting my opinions about his motivations, why are you ascribing your own opinions about his motivations?How is it you know Trump so well?
That would be a long list, but all can be summarized by one thing; he’s a classic narcissist. Sure you have to think highly of yourself to want the job and I think LBJ and Nixon showed such tendencies. But that is a full summation of his 40 year public life. His policies are himself, nothing more. Ever notice how his positions are all over the place? I can see that being harder to see from your standpoint, but he only says such things because your support gives him power. Yes, he might make Catholics happy here, but he also is prone to making impulsive and poor decisions. His staff turnover is high, many of the very qualified ones. However I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing I’d present would give you any pause, so that’s not going to help here.But as our country’s leader, how is he selfish?
I think it is the job of a politician to support the causes that the people who elected him hold dear. We have had more than our share of politicians who pay lip-service to pro-life ideas during an election and then blithely ignore them once they are in office. Whatever politcal beliefs he held as a private citizen, President Trump has repeatedly done what he promised to do when he was running for office, and the country is better for that. He is obviously an imperfect man and in his personal life has done things that can’t be supported, but he retains support among many Americans because of the above, and because they have a greater fear of the actions that the people who oppose him would enact if they were to attain public office.I’m sorry, but he says what he believes people want to hear. He has a real talent for selling himself and craves adulation. The first sentence says it all, “Mr Trump, who previously supported abortion access…”. Put current politics aside (I’m not even asking you to change or examine your views), but any person taking a honest view will see this through out his entire ~40 year public life. We are talking about a man, for whom it was an open secret, would pretend to be his own publicist on the phone. Ask anyone who was even slightly heartened by him holding and LGBT flag during the last election cycle. Just because he’s dancing for your cause does not mean he cares.
To be honest, they are temporary because the executive power to sign the tax cuts into law have a time limit. The Republican congress supported NOT placing a time limit on them, but had they passed through a legislative process, Democrats would have killed the tax cuts for the middle class entirely.Fact is, 80% of Americans have lower taxes after the tax cut - And those are temporary.
Can you find a citation for your time limit claim? The expiration date is 8 years for the latest one. I’m not sure what you mean by the Republican Congress. The expiration date was introduced first in the Senate. I’m not sure if you completely get the legislative process between both houses. They have to reconcile any differences between each of their Bills before the President can sign it. This means Congress also had to approve the time limit and, no, there’s no way the Democrats had a chance to kill it either way.To be honest, they are temporary because the executive power to sign the tax cuts into law have a time limit.

Then why not leave limit corporate tax cuts?The 2018 tax breaks were temporary, going into effect in 2018 and expiring after 2025, not because the Reoublicans wanted to put a time limit on the tax cuts, but to defeat any Democrat filibuster
While he has flipflopped on this, you can still judge him by his current actions. His SCOTUS picks lean towards protecting life, his proposed budgets proposed defunding Planned Parenthood. It’s fairly natural for people mature and change their positions on key issues.I’m sorry, but he says what he believes people want to hear.

I would prefer a candiadtze who was against abortion and also against the death penalty.On principle I don’t think I could vote for a politician that is pro-life but also pro-death penalty. It just seems way too contradictory to me, and I would feel like a hypocrite for doing so.
This is the difference between living in an ideal catholic society and a society such as ours that is beset with compromises.We’re still violating the Ten Commandments when we execute someone though. Thou shalt not kill applies to the unborn as well as those wrongly convicted.
Not to be too cynical, but he was handed shot list of potential judges and a number in that list for lower courts were unbelievably unqualified.His SCOTUS picks lean…
You know as well as I that’s cheap red meat.defunding Planned Parenthood. I
