    As one who has held Trump in low regard for decades, I'm glad to read this.

    I've claimed for years that our political duopoly has been intellectually and morally bankrupt, and that's why I've voted LP on the POTUS election. If the GOP cannot produce any candidate better than Trump, it deserves to lose.

    Rand Paul would make a good POTUS, and so would Kristie Noem of South Dakota or DeSantis. Trump is functionally the same as Biden in so many ways--old and corrupt. He is but a demagog, telling people what they want to hear but acting to advance special interests. I give him credit for trying to do the right thing, but he was outmaneuvered by the Deep State. Had he dropped the case against Julian Assange, as one example, he could have proved his integrity.

    Meanwhile, Dems are working overtime for no pay helping his campaign. The best way to keep him out of office is to produce results that improve the lives of those they claim to care about. Oops!

    You are absolutely right.

    We need a strong economic growth rate, a sharp drop in unemployment, a government that takes the pandemic seriously and is led by a mentally stable POTUS.

    That's what we have right now.

    The polls don't show that, but there is still some time to turn things around. "Taking the pandemic seriously" is nothing more than a political platitude. There used to be a death clock, but it stopped. Your boy is in the lead! Of course, I do not believe either of the elderly, mentally unstable sex offenders are responsible for people catching a virus. That is just not reasonable.

    Another thing that helps trump is keeping his name relevant. He needs daily threads and lots of attention. He appreciates your work bigly. This is yuge!

    And a refreshing change it is.
    The maga crowd was shocked by Biden’s news conference yesterday.
    They had no idea that demented sleepy Joe could handle a 2 hour free for all with journalists and not drool.
    And he didn’t take the bait and respond to trump’s meme when reporters asked why people thought he was senile.
    The guy has more class than the entire maga crowd and their leader.

    Trump has always embraced liberal Democrat policies and positions, and beat the entire RP establishment to win the nomination for the 2016 election running on a DP platform.
    So, it is hardly a surprise that the Republican Party bosses and their ilk worked so hard to undermine his presidency and remove him from office.

    Yes.

    You have a short memory.

    Just for fun, do a search on this forum and go back to February/March 2020.

    Read what MAGA wrote when scientists predicted a horrific pandemic that could kill up to 85,000 Americans within a year....

    They were being called crazy by you know who.

    Thanks.

    I try to be as diligent in my posts about Trump as US Conservative, SteveN and XXJefferson#51 but it's extremely difficult to keep up with them.

    You go tell that to USConservative, SteveN, XXJefferson#51 and others MAGA on this forum.

    Buy yourself a bulletproof vest first.

    I have a photographic memory. (I just don't have any film) While one side viewed corona virus through rose colored lenses, the other side sold panic and shutdowns. Turns out that neither mentally unstable, elderly sex offender got it right. Good thing I don't look to the government for health advice.

    even most maga folks do not want Trump to run in 2024, they want Trump still in their lives, just not as President

    If they want to keep funding the grifter trump family and their Chinese made tat, they’re free to squander their money as they want.
    But I think that trump still has to pay for his seditious attempts to damage our country, even if that ends up being caught for his personal tax crimes.

    They all know that Trump has always had more in common with liberal Democrats than "conservative" Republicans. But then many liberal anti-war Democrats until very recently supported border security, tax cuts and balanced reciprocal trade agreements.
    When characters like Max Boot, Bill Kristol, The Cheneys, The Bushes, and Jonah Goldberg start supporting DP politicians you know that the DP is drifting toward fascism - with a happy face - of course.

    Lol…what nonsense.
    When characters like Max Boot, Bill Kristol, The Cheneys, The Bushes, and Jonah Goldberg start supporting DP politicians, it’s because the repubs have betrayed conservatism to suck at the teat of a malignant narcissist and have embraced sedition and demagoguery as political tactics.

    The painful truth:

    “But if you are foggy and meandering on key questions and you’re also not winning, then you’ve got a real problem,” Jones maintained, “and so I think the real challenge that you have is the numbers are out there that are bad. But this party has got to come together, and start putting some wins on the board for this president.”
    YAHOO NEWS, Van Jones compares Biden to Reagan, calling out ‘foggy, meandering’ press conference, Biba Adams, January 20, 2022.

    The Orange Man Bad affliction the Leftists have is far far far more hard to get over than CV-19. The unending butt hurt has become comical. OMG Trump! The guy was president. He had new policies that did a lot of good for:
    • The border / immigration
    • Crime
    • Black opportunity
    • Black education
    • Small Businesses
    • Energy
    • International de-escalations
    • Employment (pre-CV-19)

    Because he didn't follow the establishment the Legacy Media and Big Tech freaked out. He exposed them for the scumbags they are.

    It's unfortunate we have a Democratic Party that brands each and every Republican President as Hitler since Reagan. It's also unfortunate that we have a segment of the population stupid and/or weak minded enough to follow the Legacy Media, Big Tech, and the Democratic Party.

    The Orange Man may be a pain personally, but he did America a solid on tons of issues. I would prefer Pompeo in 2024 to deal with the International meltdown we will have had by then thanks to Biden and the Democrats.

    What is the difference between a authoritarian Neocon warmonger and all the other authoritarian fascist warmongers?

    Are you saying Biden’s press conference was a success? Psaki had to go on Fox News to clean Biden’s mess. Fox News. Fox.

    Trump didn't have much choice but to hire political hacks and insiders because the government is full of them. No big surprise that some of them are trying to gain favor of the political establishment by being traitors. It is what they do.

    A man in his condition deserves some praise for being able to stand up for two hours -- especially while answering questions from the press. Other than that President Biden's performance was rather pathetic, but I don't think our pity can help a sitting President. Alas.

    I wonder how many Dems are meeting to decide how to stop Harris.

    I wonder how many Dems are meeting to replace both Biden and Harris.

    THE DAILY MAIL: Normally-supine media lashes Biden for bumbling press conference: Washington Post says he 'escalated partisan rhetoric', Wall Street Journal calls it a failure and CNN's Dana Bash says staff will now have to clean up his mess,
    • Biden's comment appearing to allow Putin a 'minor incursion' into Ukraine was met with widespread confusion and anger, though he cleared it up Thursday
    • CNN's Bash said that would have left a mess for the State Department to clear
    • He spoke for more than 90 minutes, the longest press conference in presidential history
    • The Wall Street Journal editorial board called it an opportunity to course-correct on a bumpy first year in office, though they claim Biden didn't take it
    • The New York Post editorial board branded Biden's marathon grilling a 'disaster'

    What's really amazing is that the party who claims Republicans are taking democracy away, are trying their best to get rid of Trump so that no one can vote for him, because they are so afraid that voters would actually vote for him so they need to usurp the will of the people and not let that happen. They need to make sure that voters can't vote for Trump. In other words, vote suppression. If you are truly interested in democracy then why not let voters decide the 2024 election?

    I keep thinking they will ride Biden out but the more time goes by the more I'm doubting that. His press conference was a disaster.
