88Comrade2000 Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 My dad turns 80 this year, wouldn’t want him to be president. Trump gets in and has a complete gop congress; he will do everything he can to dismantle the government, imprison his enemies, take his revenge. His first act will be to get his people running the military because he won’t be able to do anything without a compliant military. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I like Trump because he tells it like it is and lets you know when that hurricane is going to hit Alabama and cause destruction even when the weather channel says it isn’t. It takes balls to stand up to the man like that. Oh yeahNational Hurricane Center? I got a sharpie **** and I am saying this Hurricane is hitting Alabama! Oh you’re on the I category of hurricanes. Not anymore you little mother, it is Don now because the sharpie says so. Hurricane Don wrecking Alabama at full strength! People in Alabama with their Blue Lives Matter Flags: Damn right we’re getting a Hurricane!!! This man deserves my vote!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I don't think any politician should be in office after 75. Feinstein, McConnell,Hoyer, Pelosi.. all of them should have exited by now. Biden has lost a step but he's still an effective leader and while uninspiring, it's light years better than the turmoil of the Trump administration. Trump had people leaving his administration saying that he's functionally illiterate. Confeve! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Both of my grandfathers were quite spry and mentally sharp at 80. Both made it to their mid-90s. Me? I ended up in the cardiac ICU with a bum aorta at 53 years old. So there ya go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I'm not going by personal preference. I am not a fan of todays GOP. I will admit to voting for McCain in 2008. It became pretty clear they were driven by racism/hate since 2012 and ridiculous "southern strategy" like politics. Trump has jumped on this and is still riding this train. It's ridiculous that the American media is more loudly talking about "gee, lots of white supremicists like Trump." Like I said, Trump is a clown shown. What are we going to hear for the next 400 days: - Biden crime family - Biden old - Immigrants pouring thru borders - Economy and inflation - Crime - Attacks on transgenderism and wokeness. I think Democrats don't strongly rebut these arguments enough. I can come up with rebuttals for each point. Biden is going to have to overcome the economy inflation as his biggest hurdle. Also immigration is a valid issue although its been a sshow for decades now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Fwiw, Southern strategy hate politics has driven the GOP since the late 1960s (not 2012). Edit .it's not like Reagan didn't purposely give his infamous 1980 campaign state rights speech specifically near the Mississippi Burning murders. 🙄 Edited September 19, 2023 by The Evil Genius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 @Fergasun you forgot abortion and killing perfectly good babies up til the time they are to be birthed. We’ll also get the whole family values spiel even though a bunch of them are cheating, getting divorced, hiring pornstars and being felt up in their local community theater by people they met for the first time ever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still willing to put restrictions on women's bodily autonomy, it's a matter of how many weeks versus total ban like the extreme Fascists. I really don't believe her policy points because they are shy of the extremists policies and given the trouble that McCarthy is having in the House with the extremists, she's no where near has the strength to hold onto her views. We all realize that what a candidate runs on and what they can realistically do once in office is very different. That's why I don't trust anyone with an R after their name because the party has become Fascist in general. I have one of those for my Congressperson, two for Senators, and state government full of them. I didn't realize how bad it is until I moved here and I happen to live in a very small Blue dot.

They will see where they are economically, under Biden when they vote vs where they were under Trump before covid. Absolutely agree, Comrade. The average voter will 1). Ignore it if one of the candidates is in prison. 2). And will compare "Biden's economy right now" vs "The high water mark under Trump, and just ignore the rest." Because the average voter makes decisions the way you do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 @TradeTheBeal! I mentioned watching the Devon Archer interview and every once in awhile, maybe a handful of times a year there is some compelling thing that Tucker has that piques my interest. I do think that you shouldn't close eyes and ears to media consumption and production habits of those I disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Trump was fortunate enough to be able to nominate and get confirmed three SCOTUS judges in one four year term (and had an assist from Mitch on one of those). Many recent presidents on both sides have only gotten to choose two judges over the course of two four year terms. Shouldn't W get credit since he picked both Alito and Roberts? Or his dad who picked Thomas? But yet Don's supporters think he did something magical. And, as has been pointed out, is not being as hard line on the abortion issue as some of his competitors like DeSantis and Pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I quite frankly wonder if Anthony Kennedy received perks and benefits that Thomas and Alito were also getting? His retirement timing was super sus and no one bothers to re-visit in light of the recent scandals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just didn't know what. Now we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't understand how a woman being a VP helps the GOP, they will not vote for her because of that and it will not sway any liberals to the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
