There's currently one president with dementia who can't remember what he spoke the day before with up-to-date nuclear intelligence in the White House and the ability to push the button that just ran an ICBM test while engaged in a proxy war in Ukraine and with simmering tensions with China. That is of far greater concern than a former president with an old file sitting around his house that has far less information than that currently possessed by every intelligence agency in the world.
hah
biden has been the most successful president legislatively in a generation.
he could memorize moby dick and you'd still think he's senile. So your view is meaningless.
Meanwhile Biden's approval rating is soaring, the senate is almost a lock to stay blue and Dem policies will be helping the nation while you guys defend a guy who put the nation at risk and ended scores of intelligence programs.
Your guy cost you the House. the Senate and then the WH. Maybe it's time for you to move on.
On board generally there, but, some things:
1) You are CORRECT that Biden has been the most successful President legislatively in a generation. It is actually AMAZING what he has gotten done. Wasn't expected or required of me to continue to support him...I only needed that he beat Trump. The HILARIOUS thing about it is he got some of it done because TRUMP lost the House and the Senate for Republicans! Ha! We got some more gun control which is a good thing. He got some climate change legislation passed (good to control pollution regardless of whether you believe it affects climate change). He got more necessary help for veterans. Republicans talk a good game about supporting our troops, but what they support is the War Machine, not the actual troops. Biden got it done there. Infrastructure, chip manufacturing, extended Affordable Care Act, and on.
2) I wouldn't call his approval rating "soaring." It is trending upward from where it was, but "soaring" is more than a bit much...just trying to be realistic here, not contrarian.
3) Knock on wood regarding the Senate. I BELIEVE Democrats will keep the Senate. McConnell appears to know that, but midterm elections are always an uphill battle for the party in power, so this is not a guarantee or even close to one.
4) You are CORRECT that Trump lost the WH, the House, and very actively lost the Senate (so comically actively). The fact that they still stand by (and worship) a guy who was such a loser that it extended beyond himself shows how stupid they are. More than past time to move on, but they are in a cult. This was really the only thing I was wrong about (well, I missed Florida) regarding the 2020 election. I had wrongly assumed that Trump would quickly become yesterday's news after losing. It is happening, but it is WAAAAAAY slower than I thought it would be, so there I was wrong, and for that I apologize unreservedly. Never having been in a cult myself, I can not wrap my brain around the pull that a cult has to a cultist's mind.
As an aside, Trumpers are out of their freakin' minds. And the election deniers need deep therapy and probably medication and maybe even fuzzy slippers and jello with every meal.
I know it's got PLENTY of competition from the Trumpers on this thread, but this MIGHT be THE supreme all-time example of unintentional satire: "The election was stolen in 2020. Analytics expert, Seth Keshel, did extensive research."
Weird, too, because going on 2 years later, it seems that exactly zero of the thousands of people who run and oversee our elections and laws are listening to him. Geez, it sucks to be so far out ahead of humanity. You're only appreciated long after you die (Seth). Sorry.
Yep. Dislike Biden and Democrat policies if you wish, but to believe the election was stolen is batsh!t crazy. The level of delusion there is off the charts. If a person believes that election was stolen, how could they believe that ANYTHING they see is real? Does cheese exist? Do we live in a snow globe? Just absolute certifiable insanity.
What the f*** am I missing? The premise is ridiculous. Looks like electrical production in the U.S. is about 20% from coal. (and likely higher in WV?)
Oh, wait, I guess this is funny because you would have thought that the coal miners would be too embarrassed to show themselves on camera because they didn't mine ENOUGH coal to keep this car charged up ??? Got it.
But hey, Fox told the mouth breathers that it was funny and libs are dumb, so......Sally posts it. Gary's just mad that he beat him to it.
Exactly. Every time I think Sally can't top the stup!dity of his (or Gary's) latest post, he goes ahead and blows it out of the water.
I'm right there with you. I TRY to give people the benefit of the doubt and to understand where they are coming from, but people in my life (family, friends, former co-workers) are all highly-educated people, so Sally's and Gary's level of stupidity is foreign to me. They still manage to surprise me with HOW stupid they are even though I was pretty sure I knew. I suppose that's on me.
No one here is dumber than Sally, but Gary might be AS DUMB. Where Gary beats Sally though (in a bad way) is that Gary is batsh!t crazy. To believe that the 2020 election was stolen is insane. I don't recall Sally ever saying such a thing, and there IS the possibility that the two are one in the same, but at least Sally's character hasn't stated he believes the election was stolen (to my knowledge).
Also, why do you think Putin hasn't been declared a war criminal?
1) Putin IS a war criminal and should be labeled as such. That MIGHT be coming at some point.
2) The US and Biden must step carefully here. There are political ramifications to going after Russia in absolutely every way possible (labelling the country a terrorist state for example) that the US can. We have to be concerned about reactions from China and some countries in the Middle East.
3) Unfortunately Ukraine pays the price for where it sits in the political world, and as much as the US and Biden would love to full-force help Ukraine, we just can't...YET. Things can always change depending on what Putin does.

Keshel covered every state, every county, looked at registration trends, population trends, bellwether areas, etc. When ballots were run through tabulators multiple times in several districts, Dominion machines compromised, ballots magically "found" after hours when election auditors were kicked out and ballots counted with ZERO signature certification, the result was fraud. Don't forget the Zuckerberg funded mailboxes that the 2000 Mules stuffed around the clock which was caught on camera by the same people over and over.
Thank God, that the Zuckerberg mailboxes have been banned and several states have enacted election reform going forward. Dominion machines should also be banned.

We HAVE moved on from Trump. It is only you Libs who keep him alive here. You stop talking about him and this thread will be Trump-free. We conservatives moved on a long time ago. You Libs just can't seem to get over him. Obsessing over someone like you did is really, really bad.
Hmm. I said I wasn't likely going to respond to you moron Trumpers today, BUT you have given me the opportunity to learn something here, so PLEASE enlighten me.
How have you, and I'll define "you" as Trumpers and the entire GOP moved on from Trump?
He still has a grip on the party. It has been said over and over that Republican candidates who publicly support him (for fear of not getting votes) privately do not. He is still today the odds-on favorite to win the GOP nomination. He still holds rallies.
How have you moved on? Has the GOP stood up a preferred candidate to support for 2024?
While I AM interested in your response, methinks you will just say that we won't let Trump's criminal behavior get swept under the rug. Well, you're right there, and we shouldn't. That and the fact that he still has an iron grip on the GOP (and he's dangerous) makes us still be concerned about him.
So, how have you moved on? (Note: if you DON'T actually teach me something here and say something moronic, I WILL tell you that what you said is moronic. I'm rooting for you! Good luck!)
While it is true that Russia *did* (illegally) interfere in the 2016 election on Trump's behalf--and Trump himself committed an election-finance *felony* (for which his co-conspirator went to prison)--nevertheless Donald Trump received all the votes he needed, in the states he needed, to win the 2016 election. Period.
And Joseph Biden did the same in 2020, of course. IMO grownups need to accept *both* those propositions.
going from 38% to 43% in 6 weeks is indeed soaring. In the sense of rising very quickly.
Now he is in the same range as Obama, Clinton and Reagan at this stage in each presidency. Given that each of those is considered a successful administration, I'll take it.
Today. Mar Vista (West LA) Rec Center. Cooling Centers open across the city for excessive heat. Kids forced to mask inside playing sports. @MayorOfLA and the Los Angeles City Council should be ashamed. pic.twitter.com/oOuYJ5sW34

Yep...all of that is true. We can't invalidate a Presidential election because another foreign county decided to interfere.
I have always said since Trump won in 2016 that he won the election. Now, he DID cheat (with the aforementioned felony behavior), but I have maintained he won and that he was a legitimate President.
yeah you make your national voting decision on what local politicians in LA do. Good plan.
Meanwhile, GOP foreign policy is basically 'end all treaties and make every nation distrust the USA as much as possible.'
But yeah the kids having a great time while playing basketball is your way of deciding your vote.

Andrew Weissmann 🌻 @AWeissmann_ Nuclear docs at MAL are causing damage NOW to our national security interests; foreign allies are going to be far less willing to cooperate and share information with us, knowing from one administration to the next, we may not keep their secrets safe and sound. All due to Trump.

I am with you on the rapid rise, but still, politically I can't call that soaring. I'd say he's at the airport ready to board. I am also with you that his approval rating really doesn't mean a hill of beans as far as his re-election goes. Some of those not happy with him don't believe he's being progressive enough, but those people won't vote for Trump. We're also still too far out for his approval rating to mean much. It's always about how things are going in the year year leading up to the election, and wars and the economy dominate the outcome of the election.
So, for Trumpers to squawk that his approval rating is below 50% is just a way for them to feel good...a warm blanket and a cup of cocoa. Doesn't really mean sh!t. But, Trumpers don't know anything, so par for the course for them.

I will vote against all politicians that support mask mandates because it directly affects my life
. You do that. The rest of us will make adult decisions, taking in everything when we vote. We'll try to take care of the big picture while you narcissistically focus on one tiny tiny issue that bugs you to no end. Cool?
