I like substantially more of his messaging than I do that of the democrat party, and recall the pre-COVID days when Trump appeared a shoo-in for re-election. Still, I don’t like chaos, and Trump’s style coupled with media manipulation that is more clear, more obvious, and more ignored by dem voters everyday, and my thought was he would be effective from the sidelines. Then…the liberal team turned hard into the authoritarian regime they were supposedly against, classified material was suddenly judged on a sliding scale, and novel cases were all the rage. That’s today’s modern democrat party. Maybe a replacement with a moderate democrat would change that, but I don’t think so. We’ll see I guess. Just remember the wisdom your old pal Leh-n shared—these guys will come and go just like Reagan, Clinton, Carter, Bush, LBJ and all the way back to Geo W. The behavior of the corporate press doesn’t change unless it’s rejected and citizens demand more. Oh geez, now cult like behavior involves partnering with 85 million democrats. Forget the chaos angle with Trump. The Dems will do the same no matter who the Republican President is. Remember what they did to Romney (who many Dems now don't dislike because he hates Trump)? What about DeSantis when it looked like he was going to be the nominee, saying "he's not Trump, but here's why he could be worse"? Chaos is going to happen regardless. 2 2

I definitely think the typical R voter wants Biden to continue, it reflects a display of unity and the first step to healing old wounds. 1 1

Yes, I understand that perspective. The modern liberal voter feigns outrage at claims of stolen elections while supporting claims of illegitimate elections. I was more speaking about Trumps penchant for making frequent changes in his admin, and the inevitable backlash from people who were dismissed, followed by media spin about it. My reality is simply that I’m not a chaos guy. 3

Romney ultimately is a weak leader politically (though hugely successful in the business world) and allowed himself to be neutered on an international scale. Liberals and Dems supported that, and here’s the thing: it worked spectacularly well. Consider W Bush—accused of fabricating intelligence and sending you American soldiers to fight and die in a desert on the other side of the world—not to mention hundreds of thousands of people who lived there. Meanwhile, post election, he, Laura, Barrack and Michelle are fast friends. The Obama kids call him Gampy. It always amazes me when people are surprised that “shameful” behavior that works so well is modeled and in some cases, super-sized. 2

SCBills Posted June 30 Author Posted June 30 This is the sentiment I’ve seen all over social media. People who have lived under Newsom’s control have the most energy I’ve ever seen in hating someone in politics, this side of Trump. Michael Rappaport goes even further but it’s a bit too explicit to be sharing here.

This was (to me at least) the most effective argument Trump made on Thursday. I say "argument" meaning "reasoned criticism" here, not just unfounded assertions. He stated, correctly, that Biden fired no one, held no one accountable for the fiasco that was the Afghanistan withdrawal. Trump is quite correctly criticized for firing people willy-nilly, but there is also a fair point that never firing anyone, no matter how bad they botched something, also shows poor management skills.

His little mock debate (the first debate of the 2028 cycle?) with Ron DeSantis was pretty entertaining with both men showing good sparring skills. 2

Any competent administrator would have fired the Homeland Secretary Mayorkas years ago. 2

Yup. I was going to mention that Trump talked about it during the debate. He actually touched-upon many things I think he should have. 2 minutes ago, Artful Dodger said: This is pretty clear evidence that Biden isn't in charge of his own administration.

Any competent administrator would have fired the Homeland Secretary Mayorkas years ago. This and his condition were obvious to many here some time ago. But people around the President insisted he was as "sharp as a tack" and any criticisms were based on conspiracies, misinformation, and uninformed conclusions. What they mean is until our experts confirm the President's declining mental condition do not trust your own eyes to see or your ears to hear the truth. Now they're ready to dump old Joe not because he's in decline, but rather because it's so obvious now their lies are also obvious. They're exposed as liars, risk more criticism, and fear the scheme behind this, the fake President, could be exposed along with their role in it all. The important thing to them isn't that he can't do the job but rather their hold on power is threatened by reality. So now it might be time to go to the bull pen. I for one want them held to account for their lies but you know how the system protects the guilty as long as they're part of the system. Edited June 30 by All_Pro_Bills 1

Biden is Mentally Fit Posted June 30 Posted June 30 46 minutes ago, Artful Dodger said: This is pretty clear evidence that Biden isn't in charge of his own administration. Many, including the dems that frequent this board, are perfectly ok with this. They don’t care who is in charge, either elected or unelected, so long as it isn’t Orange Man. Because democracy is in peril and dictatorship is inevitable or some such bullsh*t.
Orlando Buffalo Posted June 30 Posted June 30 4 hours ago, TH3 said: He is not saying JB is better…he is saying DT is just as unqualified to be POTUS….for different reasons. Which is correct. As human beings I want nothing to do with either but one was a good president and put Americans first, one put Ukraine and the rest of the world first, so one I will vote for in November. 1

Dems don’t believe in merit…Most hires are DEI hires, or to fill quotas…So they don’t believe in firing someone based on incompetence…They simply want a warm body that adheres to “the agenda”…
