    The artwork is sus as hell, but I wouldn't at all say he was unqualified to be on a board of directors.

    I don't really trust any long term politician, they almost all have done some questionable things.

    Further, Joe Biden is old - he has probably dropped some N-bombs.

    However, Joe Biden, as far as I can tell has not dropped N-bombs on camera, other than back in 1985 when he quoted other hateful comments in the Louisiana legislature and was critical of the comments made. So - no, in context I cannot find any examples of Biden dropping N-bombs.

    He is no longer a candidate without a party affiliation, he IS the Republican party in 2024. He has a stranglehold on the party that few have ever had.

    So - he may have been rogue, but he isn't anymore.

    The elite have had a major influence from the founding of this country. It is just questioned more and it is more visible with social media.

    The city of Houston has been overtaken by thugs?

    I hate to disappoint you, but the local government in Houston was very corrupt before - the only difference is that the good ole boys look a little different now.

    Yeah - and the same thing has happened for a really long time. I heard about it as a child from Eleanor Tinsley amongst others. The difference back then was that everyone had an understanding about how it was to take place, and stories could be killed.

    Even some people that I looked up to, and still have fond memories of were involved in getting paid -

    Yes.

    Yes... otherwise Trump wouldn't have been elected, and then Trump would have been re-elected. There are a lot of influences on elections and candidates, but at the end of the day you need the votes.

    Yes - they are conflicted enough to not control everything.

    Okay? Did Woodrow Wilson? Ronald Reagan? Bush?

    Yeah - what does waking up mean exactly?

    Me too.

    Not so sure about that.

    There have been a number of President's that were well past their mental or physical prime - and Donald Trump doesn't come across well either. He has more energy, but he comes across and old, and mentally addled.

    God help us all.

    Joe Biden isn't an icon and as a candidate in 2020, wasn't really a divisive candidate. However, he was running against an incredibly divisive candidate, and while there were a very vocal and outspoken loyal large group of Trump supporters - there were more people that really, really hated the man and what he stood for.

    That is why Joe Biden got so many votes. If he was running against a normal Republican candidate, the numbers would be lower.

    It isn't just how much your supporters love you - it also matters how much the indifferent hate you.

    This is why I keep repeating that nominating Trump for a third time is the definition of insanity by the Republican electorate. But, the majority of them currently believe in insane things so what do I know.

    Aside from 2016 when he won the presidency by fewer than 100,000 votes, Trump has lost every election in which he's been the candidate or the main issue. 2018 midterms? Lost the House. 2020? Lost the presidency and Senate. 2022? Lost the Senate and key gubernatorial races despite favorable conditions because Trump was seen as the issue.

    The man is a loser that more than half of the country hates more than they like anybody else.

    Support for Trump has become far more about tribal identity and about owning the other side. The rest of the GOP has just caved in because
    many are either too craven and/or looking to grift off of the MAGA movement.

    Further many in the Trump movement truly believe they are the majority. This is why so many are willing to not just hold positions like that the election was stolen but willing to act
    On it even to the point of violence.

    Pretty much everything that Trump has opposed on immigration members of his family benefitted from Melania worked in the US illegally when she fist got here. She also brought over her parents and other family members using family migration.

    As I have mentioned. Bush, Biden, Obama administrations are much more dangerous.

    How did you feel after Trump conducted airstrikes in Syria and assassinated Qasem Soleimani? Did you feel like you were in danger?

    Also, why is Obama more dangerous? After issuing the line in the sand regarding Syria which Syria crossed, Obama sent the strike approval to the Republican congress which rejected it. So he didn't strike Syria.

    Rupert Murdoch's New York Post probably b****ed about that too. Doubt they b****ed much when Trump bombed Syria though.

    Newsom is a great candidate, very likable, very electable and realistic on his policies.
