It's the perpetual problem, you have two fundamentally different
sides, and compromise is the only result over time, Bush cuts taxes
and Obama just rides it out, Trump cuts them again and Biden does new
spending without addressing the deficit, it's catching up with us. The
parties being so diametrically opposed makes it impossible to get
something coherent.

AIPAC destroyed him. It's a lesson in what goes on in politics.
People saying Biden is responsible for Gaza are ignoring what DJT did
in his term, with regard to Israel. The war has happened on Biden's
watch, sure, but who sent his slumlord son in law to the Golan
Heights? Not old Joe, that was TrumpHitler, he had the gall to go to
the Western Wall, as who he is. That's the reality we're living
under.

What can I say? It was an excuse floated by a Biden supporter on X to
explain the space out. I'm sure if he really had a cold the White House
physician could have found a supply of the good stuff with
pseudoephedrine.

It's all about presentation. Biden always was a glib bullshitter if he
didn't go off on a tangent about Cornpop or unicorns so presenting as a
zombie was not a good thing.

My brother suffered from dementia and it was sad to see. He had good days
and bad days. Unlike Dr. Jill his wife kept him on a progressively shorter
leash.

His presidential decisions are a mixed bag, most of them misguided.
His insanity lies in this unhinged ALL-CAPS rants and the cockamamie
stories he tells at this rallies. Yes, he'll go along with Project 2025,
as long as he gets his cut.

Under Trump, the number of drone assassinations exceeded those of Obama's.
Trump hung our Kurdish allies out to dry in Syria. Trump invited the Taliban to
Camp David. Trump left a big Afghanistan exit mess for Biden to deal with
(poorly). Trump would more actively support Israel and it's over-the-top
destruction in Gaza. He ain't no peace-maker.

Biden is not going to be a two term president. I don't know how the DNC is

something and something also involves sidelining Harris. The junior

He has a unique power, it's fucked up, but true. Running an
80-something against him is likely to fail. I said all along I'd have
preferred Joe be a one-term president, a new Democrat to run this
year.

Good luck. One year I broke the handle on my snow shovel and all the
stores in town were sold out. I wound up with a grain scoop similar to
this:

https://www.amazon.com/AMES-COMPANIES-Aluminum-Grain-Scoop/dp/B00CAT5S2O

which is similar but in the traditional wood/aluminum construction. It got
me through the winter but it sucked for shoveling snow. The scoop is a
little narrow and the angle is wrong.

Stein manages to hit enough issues to piss many people off. I'd mentioned
Stein to a liberal lesbian acquaintance and got an unexpected amount of
vitriol. 'She's a VAXXER!'. Up until that point I didn't even know Stein
had taken a stand. This was pre-covid so it was a RFK style vaxxer.

It's all moot for me. For presidential elections the last time this state
went blue was in '92. No love for Clinton but Perot grabbed enough Bush
votes to let Clinton win. The time before that was when Goldwater lost in
one of the few instances I would call a landslide.

The anti-Federalists had a good idea of how it was going to play out.
Don't forget it took ten amendments before it was ratified. Adams was a
Federalist and while the party didn't last long the Marshall court he
created set the precedent for the federal government to stick their nose
into everything under the commerce clause.

As Lysander Spooner said the constitution was either powerless to prevent
what the government became or was designed to create it. As soon as 'the
united states' became 'The United States' it was all over.

I'm not a doctor and can't diagnose Biden but the behavior he exhibits is
troubling. Referencing dead leaders is one thing but those moments where
he is out to lunch are something else.

You're going to blame Trump for Biden's screw up in Afghanistan now? That's
a stretch too far to go. I can't believe Trump would have just up and left
without any kind of tactical retreat or by abandoning our weapons there. This
has got to one of the stupidest things that Biden and the morons he put in
charge of our military ever did.

As for the Taliban, at least they were able to get rid of the opium trade in
Afghanistan (which thrived under "out" (the "Deep States'") watch).

As for the Kurds, Trump wanted to get us out of Syria. We had NO business
being there in the first place. Basically the Deep State told the Commander
and Chief, "no, we're not leaving." So much for the rule of law in our
country.

As for Israel, yeah, Trump is a champion Nut-Yahoo kiss-ass. But Biden tries
to have it both ways. We're pouring in the supplies while pretending to
oppose Israeli genocide. At least Trump is honest about his Israeli
butt-kissing tendencies.

Meanwhile Biden has gotten us to the brink of WWIII, simultaneously pissing
off both the Russians and the Chinese. We're supporting an unelected dictator
in Ukraine, while insuring that the enslaved Ukrainians fight for us down to
the last Ukrainian — in an insane war to "weaken Russia." Any coincidence
that Biden's son had a sweetheart deal in Ukraine, when Biden was
vice-president (emphasis on "vice.")

The reason Putin "must go" is because he told the Rothschild's to get lost
and reclaimed Russia's natural resources for the Russian people. That's
deadly for most countries. Look at Iraq, Hussein decided to abandon the
petrodollar. We went to war against him (even though he had been our ally in
our proxy war on Iran). Libya, ditto. Qaddafi was creating an African
currency based on gold and NOT the petrodollar. Again war. That's what our
country does, fights for our corporations and the Rothschild controlled
bankers.

Would Trump have done the same thing Biden did with Russia? Probably,
because he kowtows to the same masters. Trump thinks he could bluster Putin
into doing what he wants, but Putin does what's right for his people, unlike
our worthless politicians.

Sorry for rambling. But if you think Biden is any good (at all) you're
delusional. I have no such delusions about Trump.

A functioning brain. Don't try that racist ploy because I give zero fucks.
How do you know it isn't anti-Tamil racism? Or even anti-Irish.
