Finally, a Democrat supporter who self reflects rather than blame all else. I think the DNC is what needs major reform for the Democrat party to reinvent itself. Oligarchs control that institution and a great shame Bernie didn't have the backbone to challenge the DNC who were firmly backing HR Clinton.
Rubio as potus? Can't see it. Tulsi Gabbard is future presidential material, but I think JD Vance will take over the reins from Trump in four years. That's if the states remain united.

It's a 2 edged sword. Where I live the apartment complex has 176 1 bedroom units. It is for 55 and older and people with disabilities. We ALL get either SS or SSI plus the goody bag of extra benefits if you are really low low income. The MAGA are many and they could be in a world of hurt and they voted for it. Zero fucks to give. The ones here who need the benefits never voted blue and read project 2025 are really scared. I tried to educate several of the ones who would have voted for Biden but were never gonna vote for a silly laughing woman. They rattled off ALL the FOX talking points. I could not break through that wall of FOX stupid.

If you don't attribute any blame on the Biden admin, then the democratic party will be lost in the wilderness for many decades to come. Ffs democrats, look in the mirror, a bit of self reflection goes a long way.
Do you know whom I blame for the rise of Trump? The DNC for shafting Sanders who would have beaten Trump straight up, ending his political career.

Define great. And by the way most citizens of most countries also think their own country is the best. Yes the USA is the most powerful, but does that equate to greatness?

Perhaps she's been shagging RJK or Trump even?

If a deranged vengeful narcissist like Trump were taking over, I would preemptively pardon my cat just to be sure. The man has a record of wanting arrests before any proof of wrongdoing and now the raptors have learnt how to open the door handles.

@273kelvin Then you are not fit to be a president with that preconception. A US potus only job is to defend the Constitution, not undermine the laws of the land. All these pre-emptive pardons illustrate is even the president cannot trust the US legal system so must abuse their power to avoid it.
Not a good look really, can you admit that?
NB Trump is psycho which means totally pragmatic and will act in the moment. You will find he has no loyalties and therefore holds no grudges. His flaw is foresight and hindsight is lacking and he has no idea how people react emotionally as he thinks people will act logically instead. Have you worked out Biden isn't exactly Mr Empathy either. Hillary Clinton sure as shit is more psycho than Trump, just ask Libya.

Jan 6th is a classic example eg have enough court cases disputing results and the VP can not accept the results until cases determined; a good logical and legal plan in a psycho's mind. But people didn't act logically did they? They saw the transfer of power being politicised, got all emotional and went ape shit.

@puff The guy has a long history of grudges and bogus investigations (see Durham). I would not chance me and mine to your assessment that psychos are pragmatic but you look after your own as you see fit.

@273kelvin They are extremely pragmatic when it comes to self interest. they will burn and deal with anyone if it advantages them. Why do you think Trump approved the assassination of the Iranian general in Iraq? I would put forward it has nothing to do with revenge or holding a grudge. He did it to improve his domestic standing, self interest.
If it advantaged him, Trump would appoint Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden to his admin ie no grudges.
Every decision he makes will be to his perceived benefit. Remember, he has played this human life very well and climbed to the top of the shit heap. All that is left now is his legacy and his vanity is eying the history books. Why he engaged with Nth Korea ie not to help anyone but to vainly make a name for himself. Finally ending America's longest war thus ensuring his place in history as an effective president, one of the better ones if not the best (a legend in his own lunch box as we say in Oz).
You watch him burn Netanyahu but support Israel. That's pragmatism and any personal loyalties will be burnt to advance the Trump "me, me, me" train to get his place in history as the man who saved Israel. He will fail in this thankfully, the genocidal Zionist repulse all and will not be tolerated for too much longer.

@puff And if he thought he could gain some political capital by going after Biden's wife? Would he need any kind of evidence? Biden himself is by SCOTUS judgement immune and hunter has already been pardoned.

@273kelvin I was incorrect there I think, he never pre-emptive pardoned Jill. But he did for all of his siblings wives. A grifter family.
Biden is safe not due to potus protection, but via the FBI already declaring he's unfit for trial re documents case yet Kamala let him remain president. What a fantastic VP for the USA, allowing an incapacitated president to continue.
What I am interested in is how long WH officials knew he was not with it. If there was any justice at all, the moment the FBI declared they would not pursue the case due to his mental and physical condition, poor memory, every single document he signed after that as potus should be nul and void.
As a psycho he does not have vengeful thoughts, the past is gone so why keep bringing it up? That's the way they think. They may appear vengeful to us normal people, but they don't really think about others at all, it's all "me me me". What they do is manipulate people to achieve personal gains, then dismiss them without a thought. In the moment is where they live.

Biden will be remembered as genocide Joe, the destroyer of Nord Stream.

trump DID NOT win the popular vote!! The final count shows he got LESS than 50% of the votes! Biden got less than trump only because there were votes casts for someone other than Biden or a conman.
trump does not have a mandate.
conman 49.71%
Harris 48.24%
Other 2.00%

They won't last long.

I see Trump has lifted sanctions against Israeli Jewish settlers Commiting West Bank atrocities. He's not going to stop fueling the anti semitic genocide in the middle East. But of course he can claim that it's not an American war.
I just wish someone would get it through his skull that his proposal of maga at the expense of other nations does nothing other than prove he is fulfilling Cipollo's definition of #stupidity.

@FrayedBear He's still a yank stuck in their exceptional/ indispensable nation bollocks.

@puff as indispensable as sewing needle driven under the finger nail!
