    Do you seriously think he'll even still be in office this time next year?

    Anyone who has watched a relative fall to dementia knows the speed and finality of it's effects.

    His imminent exit is guaranteed, all efforts are focusing on how to prevent Harris or Pelosi from seizing power.

    I wouldn't worry under Obama or G.W. Bush. But they were also just as corrupt and culpable for America's current situation as Trump is. Obama helped to put Trump to the white house, the way he threw his towel in the ring and stumped for Hillary. People should remember that it was Hillary Clinton and her corruption that literally put Trump is the white house. CNN, played a role as well. In the 2016 elections they gave Trump more free air time than Hillary or Bernie combined. The left isn't as left as people want to believe. They haven't even been the party of the people since before Jimmy Carter, if truly ever.

    People don't see the corruption in the left as they do in the right. I get that. It used to be the same for me, until I saw the truth.




    I would like every democrat out there to do me a favor. Add up all money America has lost in tax revenue due the tax cuts from Ronald Reagan, G.W. Bush and Trump. Add up all the lost tax revenue by American workers as they've been asked to tighten their belts for decades now. Once you come up to a number in the high trillions of dollars. You understand that the democrats not reversing those tax cuts, is their part in the corruption.

    And, by the way. Make sure to go show your children and great grandchildren where there future went.

    And if that number doesn't clue a person into the corruption going on in our government. America's huge debt should. I liken America asking to borrow money to, the richest person in the room asking to borrow money. It's totally absurd, shouldn't ever happen. Yet we praise our leaders while they do nothing to fix America's problems, while they look the other way. I can't look the other way anymore.

    Lastly, as I see it. We are all racist. America's foreign and domestic policies are clearly racist. Most of America's enemies are minorities here in America. The people that live on the bottom rung of American society are also minorities. It's an undeniable pattern that, for me, shows that America is a racist nation. And we are all racists for supporting this government.

    Ok, this was fun. Clearly we view the two parties differently. We could go on from here, but there doesn't seem to be a point. And I don't feel up to hijacking this thread.

    Take it easy.

    No. They were not. You aren't taking how dangerous Trump is seriously.

    He is literally an active agent against US interests. Regardless of if that's deliberate or not. Neither Bush or Obama were close. Nor is Biden for that matter.

    They are bad leaders, for sure (capable, yet, corrupted by a corrupt system). They are sellouts for sure. But Trump is so much worse he should be tried and convicted of treason. In fact, I wish he would be.

    Doesn't matter. He's not worth caring about one way or the other. I mean, on a personal level I feel bad for his family... But politically it doesn't matter.

    Lol

    There is no reason why Harris wouldn't take over if Biden does leave office before his term ends. That's how the constitution works.

    You mean the Republicans are going to go against the constitution? Say it isn't so. What are they going to say, she can't be president because she's a black woman?

    Oh, they will try to pull the her dad wasn't born in the US so she isn't qualified bullshit. She was born here. She is a citizen. That shit didn't work against Obama, it won't work against Harris.

    Um.... aside from the fact that the president is not showing dementia to anyone who listens to him and not commentary on OAN...aside from the fact that if anyone is showing dementia it's Trump and Giuliani...we have a little thing in the United States called the Constitution. That sets out order of succession. Vice President followed by Speaker of the House. It's not a power grab. I'm sorry, well actually not really, but the Constitution does not replace a president with previous office holder. Or is the Constitution also fake news?

    Ahh, the Deep State's finest accomplishment.

    The Great Recession. The most successful Oligarch-creating, poverty-multiplying, money-laundering scheme to ever come to fruition.

    Looks like Bernie hacked Biden's account.

    If it actually happens. Manchin is already talking about killing the whole infrastructure bill. Even if he doesn't, that doesn't mean that corporations won't have their cronies in D.C. gut the portions of the bill that hurt their pocketbooks.

    If it does actually all go through, as is. I will praise Bernie, and not Biden. As it is, it is Bernie who is the driving force behind anything "progressive" Biden might do anyways. Biden is too far to the right to be progressive.

    How The United States Ended Up With Two Right-Wing Parties.



    Biden clearly isn't a union man.

    Democrats are actively resisting the left.

    Why aren't you opposed? You're an outdoors person. Some of those areas do not need more oil wells.

    We have the oil we need so we don't need to import it. Why destroy our greatest resource, other industries, and our health so we can sell oil to others?

    Haven’t we been importing recently from Mid East? Or Eastern Europe?
    I want to be self sufficient and we shouldn’t have to import. Does all off shore production get exported?
    I dont favor doing away with all fossil fuel either.

    I worked in the industrial Internal Combustion Engine Business for nearly 48 years.
    I own a gaso lawn mower that bags wet grass! Lol
    My neighbor has a battery one that doesn’t bag ir mulch wet grass well. I do have a a few battery power tools though.
