President in town?

Submitted by cofonseca t3_ye6nww in RhodeIsland

Just saw multiple state troopers blocking off 295 North, and a massive police motorcade driving down Rt 37. Is the president in town or something?

Ah, that explains why I saw multiple motorcycle cops standing out in the rain around the Killingly St./Fruit Hill Ave. areas!

I don't think Trump ever came to RI. If he did, I don't think we should have paid a dime for his campaign stop either. So if I think that the taxpayers shouldn't pay for any political campaign stops, I must be a Trump supporter. What are you talking about?

Or people who Jill Biden owes a large gambling debt to. If she owed me $52,000 in debt over, say, last year's college football season, I'd probably be in Cranston right now seeing if I could at least get her on a payment plan or something.

Oh right / and the other guy who did an epic amount of travel for his own benefit and overcharged the secret service to pocket the money himself wasn’t more of an actual problem. Yeah ok.

He was. But he is not currently in the WH so maybe focus on the problem at hand.

That a functioning non-grifting not beholden to Russia administration is in place? That problem? If you want the government to spend no money, go live in the mountains with no hookups to utilities to, don’t check the weather (national weather system), don’t drive on the highway (national highway system) or take social security when you retire.

Obviously US taxpayers should see a return on their tax investment. So no idea what inspired that little rant. To the point, Biden is a semi functional, piss poor president. He was a terrible senator as well. Astonishingly bad in fact. Corrupt, tone deaf, and ego driven. He was and remains a war criminal, as but one item on his long list of sins. Trump's sins, and they are legion, do not relieve Biden of his.

That’s some tin foil hat speak you got there. But ok. Not sure what kind of visible things you would see from the feds …. A generic I need a return on my investments is gobbledegook libertarianism

This is a simple exchange so not sure why you can't follow. Why are you ranting about cabins in the wood? Did I say the government shouldn't spend money? No I did not. Again, if the people pay taxes, naturally they should expect those taxes to fund services. This assertiom is neither gobbledygook, nor tin foil hat speak, nor even debatable.

Oh I follow. Bitching because money was spent on a codel to Cranston as some symbol of government excess speaks volumes.

As I said, you're apparently incapable of following a simple dialogue. Try this: war crimes = bad

Status_Silver_5114 t1_iu6e282 wrote

Apparently you think accusing Biden of war crimes is based in fact and not RW Putin friendly talking points?

8pointstar t1_iu6hedn wrote

Explain to me what Putin has to do with the Iraq WMD lie? Bottom line is you, and so many other bootlickers, will cheerfully go to bat for a disgusting, corrupt old man simply because he is not Trump. Horrifying logic. Utterly immoral. This is "if Putin says water is wet, then water is not wet" level thinking. But you do you.

You had to respond for the Umpteenth time before you made yourself clear re what you meant. I’m not even going to go there. Bc it’s both sideism and distracting from the actual issue at hand.

Who and what are you talking about? The point I made applied to all politicians. Is this forum about RI or some sort of extremist political view forum

Calling out the ex grifter in chief is “extremist”? Yeah gotcha. I see what you did there. Lemme guess - you own something with either a gadsen flag logo and or all lives matter? He took all of us for a financial ride for four years and damaged our democracy in ways we don’t even understand yet and your mad because the First Lady went to cranston?

If you want my opinion on politicians, I believe that Trump is a moron and Biden is an old fool.

And you seem to think they are comparable to one another? That’s not a deep (or realistic and fact based) analysis. But you do you.

BMorris2526 t1_itwfdaq wrote

The only way they are comparable is that both are unfit for office.

Status_Silver_5114 t1_itwgo3v wrote

Which is in itself showing you basically can’t admit that trump was the worse of the two. So proving the point.

BMorris2526 t1_itwicna wrote

Trump is a complete jerk. I didn't vote for him, but during his tenure there was record low unemployment, almost no inflation and world peace. If Biden escalates this war any further in Ukraine, are you going to be ok seeing your friends and relatives getting drafted and going to war with Russia. If you ever studied history, which seems unlikely, it could happen.

Status_Silver_5114 t1_itwikrd wrote

World peace? That’s your defense of trump? Go back to faux news. “Biden escalating the war” is a pro Russia BS talking point.

BMorris2526 t1_itwkrsr wrote

Do you even read news. Biden engaged the United States in a proxy war with the country with the largest nuclear stockpile on earth. There were no wars during the Trump era. I think I read that in the New York Times. I guess that's not important to you.

Status_Silver_5114 t1_itwntbc wrote

You're about 2 steps away from calling it the Jewish New York Times or liberal New York Times or whatever liberal stereotype Tucker has thrown your way. Everything you are citing (again) is a RW/Faux News talking point and not based in fact. "There are no wars during the Trump era" - just the war on the country itself. And democracy. And Jan 6.... but go on.

BMorris2526 t1_itwwntj wrote

Ok. I didn't know that the New York Times was a Jewish paper. Since you seem obsessed with what people look like and their ancestry, maybe you need to do some self reflection. So Biden has the country on the verge of nuclear war and you want to compare that to a bunch of morons going into the capitol. Trump should have been impeached as a result of his involvement in that day. You seem like an uneducated and ignorant person, as Trump has been gone for two years. You are likely a recent product of our failing education system in RI

I'm glad you can take notes. This started with a comment that we tax payers shouldn't pick up the tab for police escorts for campaigns. Then that somehow went to Trump, who I didn't even know had apparently visited RI. Then it somehow went to antisemitism and January 6. Even though I repeatedly said that I didn't vote for Trump and I think that he is an idiot. I would have voted for any of the other democratic candidates that ran for President over Joe Biden. Trump is gone, let him go, you'll feel better.

Status_Silver_5114 t1_itx1k1f wrote

Anyone that holds Biden and trump in the same category is just managing to not say the quiet part outloud. Anything but an outright disavowal of what trump was AND stands for is suspect. And the fact you jumped randomly to the NYT is a trope unto itself. You may not have voted for him but spinning Russia as something that Biden is the bad guy in speaks volumes.

Not disagreeing just pointing out when people are parroting RW talking points and trying to pass it off as mild both side-ism.
