    I notice plenty, I also have the ability to not try and derail a topic because it shows how desperately pathetic my “team” is.

    Not surprising you saw the need to do so.

    Go go red caps!

    Really? What bad as happened other than the run on the border which mirrors the 2018 run on the border?

    COVID deaths and cases down

    Unemployment down

    Jobs created up

    Stock market up

    Consumer Confidence index up more than 19%

    And it seems people are liking it....

    Gallup poll shows largest increase in Democratic Party affiliation in a decade

    Not surprising GOP is using scare tactics. When was the last time they asked for donations to actually make the country better. Now whenever they ask for donations, it's to fight imaginary election fraud, to not out them to Trump, or fight sex trafficking charges.

    Pathetic!

    The GOP is the Sam Kinison of "scare tactics".... it's a little startling to watch at first, but when you watch long enough, it's hysterical....

    (Look him up on YouTube, kids)

    Agree.... it this is batshit crazy, sign me up for infinite more batshit crazy years...

    I'm STILL at 3 things I disagree with the Biden admin on after 2.5 months, with a wait-and-see on potentially resuming building a batshit crazy wall...

    People are going to be CLAMORING for a return to incompetence in 2024

    In what way is it a disaster? Looks like he is doing a hell of a lot better than Trump ever came close to doing.

    Sad, sad, sad....if the RNC wants to live in the fantasy world of an army of Trumpinistas lurking in the shadows like Thugees waiting for Kali to return, oh well. BOTH parties better come to the reality that nowadays it's more a case of voting AGAINST rather than FOR.

    I don;t care which party. Those who donate to politicians are either gullible or on the take.

    Sort of an oversimplification, but you probably aren't far off...

    My personal belief is that 95% of all campaign expenditure is a huge waste and "campaign season" is much too long...

    I'd prefer a 1 month campaign for ALL offices in the land... October 1.....make your case.... allow a limited amount of media buys..... have a really cool website where voters can see what you are about.... then vote...

    For the Presidential primaries, allow perhaps 2 months in a fixed timeframe (Say March-April of the election year), but the final candidates cannot campaign after being selected until October (see above).

    Much of what I'd like is covered in HR1...

    My friend,

    This statement of yours

    "In what way is it a disaster? Looks like he is doing a hell of a lot better than Trump ever came close to doing"

    precludes me from entering into any meaningful discussion with you. Sorry :D

    If you can't refute, deflect. I get it.

    Neither party really cares. They know they have control of the country. And next election cycle they can get back in power.

    Until a 3rd party is a viable option. I don't see anything changing.
    I also don't see a 3rd party being an option any time soon.

    And yet, even with this scam being exposed, winred is being used by other republicans to raise money and they have Trump as their keynote speaker today at the Republican spring donor event in Florida.

    It does not work when you have no respect for the people trying to blackmail you. That's why the NRCC had to use Trump as a tool in their little blackmail attempt. Still, that was obvious as well.

    Yep, I'm 66 and been waiting since I was 18 for that 3rd party...problem is if a third party started to gain some real traction "bipartisanship" would reign supreme to crush it one way or another.

    True. However, there are still quite a few people out there that honestly believe the election was stolen so they dive deep in their wallets for what they believe is Trump being reseated and vindicated. A touch of emotional appeal at the checkout screen is just enough to push them to dig deeper.

    P.S. I thought it was hilarious when Bezos told his would-be-blackmailers to release the dirt they were holding over his head.
