Tell me again how Trump isn't a Russian stooge?

Her job was prosecutor. Her policies as Senator were what? What did she accomplish? Not advocate, actually accomplished.

Not claiming anything. I consider it a distraction and won't be sucked in by the misdirection. As I have repeated ad nauseam the election was about Trumps failings not her successes. I fully suspect that had she been elected she'd have pulled in very competent people to support her Presidency, like a good leader should, unlike the kow-towing band of dim wits and sycophants Trump selected. Nor would she have destroyed NATO, weakened our Democracy, or sucked up to Putin. Mostly she'd have held the line for a while is my guess. And yes the deficit sky would continue to fall and our bloated bureaucracy would still be working from home etc. etc. But at least when better leaders arrived things would still be repairable. I'm actually surprised you're so excitable. Stay chilly, Democrats are no more of an immediate danger than that asteroid coming by in 8 years or the millions of others that pass by all of the time.

What would you normally expect a 4 year senator who served in the minority, with the opposition party in the White House, to accomplish? Not advocate, actually accomplish? Get real, dude. Your complaint about her senatorial record is absurd, your claim that there is nothing else else you can judge in her entire career apart from her laugh is absurd. Your rank dishonesty and deflection fools no-one.

Before you get too mouthy; you might want to compare Sen Klobuchar's first four years with Senator Harris' first four years. Similar backgrounds, major differences.

Sure, but Klobuchar didn't get Biden elected. It's all just a pitiable, goddamn mess, and absurd in the extreme the way things work. In today's good news it appears the imbecile in chief was snookered by Zelenskyy in the minerals deal. I hope no one tells him.

Hi Keith,

OK, what has Trump accomplished?  Other than conning just about everyone he has ever come in contact with.

Jerry Baumchen

PS)  I've constantly said that Harris would not be/was never my first choice.  But, compared to Trump, she is a great choice.

despite all of the intriguing discussions, i am looking forward to be seeing in about 2 years all of those people who voted for him are standing in lines at walmart trying to get sale prices on bulk purchases of cat food. 

boomers find out their social security has been reduced and all those younger can just forget about it.

when sufficient $5 million gold cards are purchased jobs will be limited to service positions so get your steel wool ready to be polishing.

Will still need people to work in the fields and as roofers, drywallers, etc. when all the brown people have been deported.

As long as he pays for the minerals with F-16s, Javelin missles, 155mm ammo and whatnot it's all good.

It's so noticeable that no-one, no-one, who says that Harris is so bad has anything but the vaguest of platitudes to offer to explain why she is so bad.

Over qualified.

Black.

Female.

Not necessarily in that order, sort as one's hateful filter might apply.

Astronomically more qualified than the Russian plant we now have installed as FOTUS.

But, if Musk and DOGE do look at that, well … Trump is reportedly on pace to put an incredible amount of taxpayer money into perfecting his game this year. And that is because, according to HuffPost, Trump has spent an estimated $10.7 million playing golf in the first month of his return to office.

Old news. He spent a bank load more golfing and not working last go around and we all saw it coming in overtime spades this time.

No shit Sherlock. Klobuchar served under a Dem President in a Dem controlled senate next to a Dem controlled House. You can’t tell the difference?

What did Klobuchar achieve while Harris was in the Senate?

When you consider the objections Trump (and his minions) raised to Obama taking a couple of vacations in Hawaii, it’s some pretty breathtaking sycophancy.

No he won't. He thinks the US sent 500 billion and is "trying to get it back".

He's just trying to shake down Ukraine for far more than the US actually sent, and stopping all aid is already a given. He's fully a Russian asset.

...but at least DOGE might balance the budget right?  (no, they won't do that either)

Now Trump isn't just spending time on his golf game while he's on holiday, he's literally making golf his job too. He's personally spent less time on Gaza and Ukraine peace deals than he has mediating White House meetings between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, something that is quite definitely not a government issue. So why's that going on? Well the Saudis will pay him a shit ton of money to host events on Trump courses again if he helps them out.

Hi Keith,

No matter how one measures it:  IMO she was a far better choice than Trump.

IMO in 2024 voting for anyone other than Harris or Trump was the same as not voting at all.

A meaningless gesture, nothing else.

You described her as "one who did nothing."  Do you really believe that district attorneys and attorneys general do nothing?  Honestly?

[kallend 2,056]

I'd take someone who does nothing over someone whose every action is for his own benefit or that of his cronies, who embaces rioters, who openly threatens vengeance on those who oppose him, who spends millions of taxpayer money on golfing while cutting aid to the poorest members of society, who has no conception of the difference between the truth and a lie, who openly brags about being a sexual predator, etc. etc. etc.    Nothing sounds pretty good in comparison.

I do not. One who did nothing as a politician. 

Teachers do something.

Plumbers do something

Electrical engineers do something. 

Pick any vocation and they do something. That something however, does not make one qualifed for the prime leadership position of the country. 

IMO she was the example of Peter Principle. She's in the past. Keep dwelling on it and you'll lose future focus.

Morning, Jerry. I have every right to vote the way I want and shame is not a factor in my decision-making process. I voted FOR someone. A couple of you have mentioned that you would respect my vote more if I had voted FOR Trump. That would have made me fill icky. You guys were this |  | close to having me vote for Biden, then he fell apart and you wanted me to vote for the puppet. You wanted me to vote for Harris basicially "cause I said so." That's not persuasion, that's intimidation.

You still have my respect, voting 3rd party is much better than some here (like @dogyks) who DID vote for Trump and are now desperately trying to justify to themselves the shitshow that's now happening. Keep on!
