I thought Nixon was a true statesman. His Achillies Heel was that he was completely paranoid. IMO the vast majority of people have both good & bad in them. Trump excepted. Jerry Baumchen On the first go around, I had vowed to vote for Charlie Manson to keep Hillary out of the Oval Office. Charlie was busy, so Trump was the next best thing. This time around we were left with a candidate that lacked the raw evil of Hillary, as well as any shred of competence. If Kamala did not espouse the most brainless variation of Marxim (DEI), perhaps she would still have been an improvement over Trump. As it is, I can only hope that his seriously dunderheaded inclinations (Ukraine, Greenland etc.) can be kept in check by appealing to his avarice and/or ego, but I have confidence that the left has the capacity to fuck things up even worse. I do wish he wasn't such a loathsome piece of shit, but the scum rises to the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,507 #228 March 28 What made Hillary so evil? Obviously you're not concerned about her emails, since, well, Signal and all that... Or is it just a matter of assuming the best for your guys, and assuming the worst for everyone else? Wendy P. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You, the US taxpayer, are now paying to employ Pete Hegseth's baby brother and fly him around the world in a cushy DHS liaison job. Great to see that meritocracy kicking in now that DEI is gone.

It's reminiscent of the patient seeing nothing but prurient images in the ink blots. "You have a dirty mind!" "Hey, you're the one showing me all the dirty pictures!"

Luckily, when faced with repeated statements like "DEI is worse than the KKK" the discernment is quite simple. The only tricky thing to figure out is how you can deliberately say such racist and sexist things on such a regularly basis yet still act all snowflakey and offended when it is pointed out that you're doing it.

Just as I advocate no changes to the first ten amendments, so too, the 22nd amendment. There are plenty of dictatorial regimes under the guise of free elections. Feel free to choose one and head out. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs the democrats to grow some spine and leadership, and a few republicans to break rank and say enough is enough. I quite like the Bernie, AOC and Waltz rallies that are getting coverage.
