All we hear from Trump these days is: “It is all Biden's fault!” 
You can't blame the last administration for everything bad happening 20 months into a new administration that enacted tariffs, started a war, and kicked people off their healthcare to give more tax breaks to corporations and billionaires.
Gas was $3.12 per gallon when Biden left office. It is $4.33 today.

For many it does. I have seen it personally, way too personally. Family members whose entire identity and self-worth are directly tied to hating Trump and anything eve4n remotely Conservative without a shred of logic or facts to back up their opinions, and not an ounce of ability to have any rational discussion on any political or environmental topic. Wants therapy sessions that tell us how we have to think like them and how only their opinions are correct. Sadly, many therapists will say just that.
Secure elections and borders, justice when crimes are committed, the Federal government taking care of its Constitutional responsibilities, then getting out of the way. Draconian, isn't it?

Agreed, Zona, these are the basic tenets of conservative, Republican values. But surely you're not suggesting that this presidency reflects much, or any, of this, besides the secure borders part.

Lebanon, I agree that the extreme left has gone completely off the reservation. They are not serious people, in any which way.
I must say, I feel the same about Trump/MAGA hardliners, particularly this part > "...without a shred of logic or facts to back up their opinions, and not an ounce of ability to have any rational discussion on any political or environmental topic."
Thankfully, this board does have plenty of sane, reasonable conservatives who make up for the handful of infantile yahoos who litter this board with utter crap on the daily.

While there are some on the right that fit that description, it isn't the majority, on the left it seemingly isn't just the fringe, particularly among youngest millennials and almost all of Gen Z and most of all liberal white women. They have lost their ******* minds. You even show signs of it when Trump is brought up. TDS is real it isn't just a slur. Sadly, it isn't just at Trump it is at anything which doesn't fit their world views. It is where the real fascistic behavior lies.
And yet, according to your own words, you will continue voting for them.

While the way the president behaves may not reflect conservative values, those are the values of the people that elected him because that’s what he promised to deliver. Well, most of us anyway. Whether he is delivering or not is another discussion.
Like I’ve said before, Trump isn’t perfect but he’s better than the alternative. Tibs feels the same way, the Dems aren’t perfect but they’re better than the alternative, meaning Pubbies.

He is not perfect. Agreed. I knew that when I voted for him.
He secured the boarder(twice) in about 1 months. That was the main reason I voted for him.
Don't like anything to do with Iran but let's see how it plays out. At least he has the balls to at least try and stop them from getting a nuke
In all honesty he probably just slowed down the inevitable.

Not what I said, Zona. I grew up in a household where my parents simply chose the person best fit for the job, regardless of party, be it Reagan, Carter, Ford, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and so forth. I've tried to carry on in the same manner. I listed the presidents I voted for since the early 90s, and they happened to be Democrats. Again, I didn't think a guy like Dole was a good choice, was not a fan of George W. Bush. If I was old enough to vote back then, I would have voted HW Bush over Dukakis, who was an idiot. I preferred John Kerry to George W, shoot me. I thought Obama was a fine President, and deserved a second term. And since then, it's been Donald f*cking Trump on the ballot, who I'd never vote for, under any circumstance. I truly think he's the worst thing to ever happen to America, though I will concede he did the right thing on border security, but then screwed it up with ICE overreach. In any case, I'll give Trump accolades for border security.
Point being, I'm not some Democratic party apologist who blindly supports the Dems. I've said on several occasions I'd happily vote for a Republican, particularly one who helps bring America back from this unmitigated madness and breathtaking corruption in the WH. Anyway, just wanted to clarify.

No, it’s not another conversation as he has a long record of not delivering and making things exponentially worse. He’s an idiot, worse yet, he’s a narcissistic sociopath. He’s unable to see fault in himself or his decisions, or caring about the ramifications of those decisions. That’s the worst kind of leader.

Spot on, Trog. It has exactly *nothing* to do with party politics, with liberals or conservatives, Democrats or Republicans. Trump is in a league of his own.. .and it's not a good place for America to be.

Sigh. Poor babies.
Trog. no one cares about your feelings.
You don’t call this Conservatism?
How about you Sarge?
President Donald Trump’s polic ies regarding LGBTQ+ individuals have primarily focused on rolling back Obama-era and Biden-era federal protections, restricting gender-affirming healthcare, and narrowing the legal definition of sex. Across his administrations, these policy actions spanned healthcare, education, the military, and federal civil rights protections. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Healthcare and Legal Definitions
- Redefining Sex in Federal Law: Under the executive order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," the administration mandated that federal departments define sex strictly as an unchangeable male-female binary determined at birth or conception. This action effectively eliminated federal recognition of transgender identities across agencies. [1, 2, 3]
- Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care: The administration halted federal funding for gender-affirming care, directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to roll back guidance supporting these treatments, and urged therapy instead for transgender youth. Additional actions cut off taxpayer funding to institutions offering gender-affirming medical care to minors. [1, 2, 3]
- Federal Document Changes: Policies were enacted to prohibit transgender individuals from selecting a gender marker on federal documents, such as U.S. passports, that matches their gender identity.
[1, 2]
Military and Public Life
- Transgender Military Ban: The administration reinstated and enforced a ban prohibiting openly transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military. [1, 2]
- Federal Facility Restrictions: Executive actions restricted transgender individuals from accessing federally funded facilities—including bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and homeless shelters—that align with their gender identity. [1, 2]
- Religious Exemptions for Employers: The administration took legal positions allowing employers and federal contractors to discriminate against LGBTQ+ employees based on the employer's religious beliefs. It also directed a re-evaluation of the landmark Bostock v. Clayton County ruling to limit Title VII employment protections based on gender identity. [1, 2, 3]
Education
- K-12 Curricular and Funding Restrictions: Policy directives prohibited the recognition of students' gender identities (such as using preferred pronouns) in public schools. [1]
- Funding Enforcement: The Department of Education threatened to strip federal funding from schools that allow transgender students to use restrooms matching their gender identity or schools that do not disclose a student's transgender identity to their parents. [1]
- Title IX Rollbacks: The administration reversed Biden-era Title IX rules that had expanded the definition of sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity. [1]
Diplomacy and Immigration
- Visa and Citizenship Restrictions: The State Department ended the practice of granting visas to unmarried, same-sex partners of foreign diplomats and United Nations workers. Additionally, immigration rules were interpreted to narrow citizenship pathways for children born abroad via surrogacy to same-sex couples. [1]
Federal DEI and Support Programs
- Termination of DEI Programs: Through the executive order "Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing," the administration dismantled federal initiatives designed to combat systemic barriers in hiring based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
- Grant Funding Impacts: Federal funding was temporarily diverted or cut from various regional LGBTQ+ and HIV service organizations, though some of these cuts faced subsequent litigation and temporary rollbacks in federal court.
WAIT, THERES MORE…,
Donald Trump has successfully instituted a wide range of marquee conservative policies across his two presidential terms, significantly altering the American judiciary, tax structure, regulatory environment, and social landscape. [1, 2]
Through major legislation and hundreds of executive actions—many of which mirror the Heritage Foundation's conservative blueprint, Project 2025—key conservative priorities have come to fruition: [1, 2]
Judicial Appointments & Abortion
Tax Policy & Economic Deregulation
Immigration & Border Security
Education & Social Policy
Foreign Policy & Trade
Donald Trump has successfully instituted a wide range of marquee conservative policies across his two presidential terms, significantly altering the American judiciary, tax structure, regulatory environment, and social landscape. [1, 2]
Through major legislation and hundreds of executive actions—many of which mirror the Heritage Foundation's conservative blueprint, Project 2025—key conservative priorities have come to fruition: [1, 2]
Judicial Appointments & Abortion- Conservative Supreme Court Supermajority: Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court Justices (Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett), which directly led to the landmark overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, a multi-generational goal for the conservative movement. [1, 2]
- Federal Judiciary Realignment: He reshaped the lower courts by confirming hundreds of conservative circuit and district court judges. [1, 2]
- Restrictions on Reproductive Care: His administration revoked Biden-era orders protecting abortion access under emergency medicine laws (EMTALA) and barred Planned Parenthood from receiving certain Medicaid funds. He also restricted federal funds from supporting abortion services globally and domestically. [1, 2]
Tax Policy & Economic Deregulation- Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017: Trump signed sweeping tax legislation that permanently slashed corporate tax rates from 35% to 21% and provided temporary individual income tax cuts. [1]
- The One Big Beautiful Bill Act: This subsequent legislation permanently extended many of his first-term tax cuts, eliminated taxes on worker tips, and created a new $6,000 deduction for seniors paying taxes on Social Security. [1]
- Mass Deregulation: The administration systematically rolled back Obama-era environmental rules, eased Wall Street banking regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, and curtailed federal climate initiatives. [1, 2]
Immigration & Border Security- Border Wall Construction: His administration successfully built hundreds of miles of physical barriers along the southern U.S. border.
- Mass Enforcement and Crackdowns: Trump implemented hardline interior enforcement policies, integrated Customs and Border Protection with local law enforcement, restricted asylum rules, and enacted travel restrictions from several terror-prone nations. [1, 2, 3]
Education & Social Policy- Elimination of DEI Programs: Trump signed multiple executive orders completely defunding and eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government, military, and federally funded private and higher-education institutions. [1, 2]
- Expansion of Religious Freedom: The Department of Education adjusted federal policies to make it easier for faith-based and religious organizations to access federal grants, financial aid, and public service loan forgiveness. [1]
- Higher Education Oversight: He reshaped higher-education committee boards with conservative appointees to authorize and recognize alternative, market-driven college accrediting organizations. [1]
- Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care: He leveraged federal policy to halt government-supported youth gender-affirming care programs. [1]
Foreign Policy & Trade- USMCA Enactment: Trump fulfilled a major populist-conservative promise by repealing NAFTA and replacing it with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to protect American manufacturers and farmers.
- Protectionist Tariffs: He broke with traditional free-trade conservatism to impose sweeping tariffs on billions of dollars of imports from China, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.
- Iran Nuclear Deal Withdrawal: The U.S. formally exited the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), satisfying a major conservative foreign policy objective.
- Embassy Move to Jerusalem: Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocated the U.S. Embassy there. [1, 2, 3]

I’m pretty sure Burgandy said the dems are the ones who try to control people. How bout y’all get on the same page?
Who is it that wants to tell me what kind of car to drive, what kind of light bulb to use, where I can and can't carry a gun, and how much water my toilet flushes?
Anyway, your argument is invalid since you misspelled my name. /Libs

Your car and other purchases are being controlled by tariffs that have made you poorer and you’re concerned with technological advances in plumbing and lighting.
Let the markets decide and let people buy what they want, which is a horror too great for Liberals to conceive.
BTW, up until 1913 the Federal government's main source of revenue was tariffs prior to having an income tax. I'd be okay with going back to that, along with a balanced budget amendment.
Lotta mischief was going on with the Federal government in 1913 under Woodrow Wilson, the first of the modern-day Liberals.
