    Because he knew the indictments were coming and he's guilty
    Hahaha, right. The man who was the worst President in the history of the US wants to be President because he has a vision of how the country should be :roflol:
    It is ALL about getting a pass from himself. He doesn't give a **** about the country or anyone in it.
    Oh, so now he IS doing it to pardon himself. Make up your mind.
    For the record, he isn't being persecuted (did you use the wrong word?), political or otherwise. He has been charged with crimes and will have his day in court........we hope.
    Why? What is your reasoning for that comment??
    He had already been found guilty in the Carrol case. He did try to interfere in the election results. He did take top secret information and would not give it back. What am I missing?
    True, that why you have the trials. There was enough evidence to charge him with the crimes.
    Again, that thought is based on what? "The American way" ? What are you talking about?
    His name is Donald J Trump.

    When you look at reality, what's really taken place in the world since War 2, or a subsection of that time, "liberalism imposing collectivist ideologies" has had no affect at a national level ... AT ALL. Give us and example where it has.

    On the other hand conservative ideologies have affected the U.S., many times and many ways and in a negative way. It's been conservative ideology that has moved America from being the worlds manufacturer to a point where our National Security is at risk because we can't make the things we need to arm ourselves militarily and technologically against foreign attacks on our industries and on our government.

    Not only has conservative ideology had a negative affect on national security but it has destroyed what used to be called "The American Dream". Who, now, dreams of two cars in a house that is owned by those that live in it; paid for by the single income of the wage earner supported by the house keeper that raises the kids to be the next generation of Americans that will make the world better for the next generation?

    Not that all of that ever really existed, or should have. But we, as a society are so far from that dream that what was real and what wasn't doesn't matter. Because most Americans are living pay check to pay check. they don't own their home, they're lucky if their car runs reliably and their kids raise themselves while both parents work. They will NOT be better off than their parents were. That's NOT the fault of Liberals no matter how hard you try to make it so.

    NONE of the erosion of the "American Dream" can be laid at the feet of Liberals. But trickle down and globalization very much are the culprits.
    Yep, even when those opinions are wrong.

    No matter who believes what, "IT" is straight from the horses mouth, tRaitor tRump.
    Yes, he said "for one day", but now his sycophants are agreeing that, yes by golly I would like to see Trump as dictator. :shock:
    Frogs get boiled by placing them in water and slowly turning up the heat, so they won't jump out. But eventually it get too hot and too late. TRaitor tRumps supporters are slowly methodically being boiled alive and they won't think of jumping until it's too late.
    And in all that time who is better at it than anyone else? Why tRaitor tRump of course.
    Unless it comes from tRaitor tRump then his supporters are all in.
    And tRaitor tRump keeps up his lying attacks and his tRumpublicans eat it with a spoon.
    As it always has been.
    AbsaByGodLutely, the future of Government BY the PEOPLE depends on it.
    Unfortunately that seems to be a tRumpublican thing.
    You could be right, on the other hand looked at fairly, which America on the whole isn't, President Biden has been a very good President.

    Sometimes but most often that's not true.
    Which is exactly what those ladies in the linked audio are doing. Too bad you didn't listen.
    Sounds EXACTLY like tRaitor tRump to me.

    In the end as far as a dictator or the destruction of democracy, it’s ends up what the people believe or don’t believe. There’s been so much negative campaigns trying to paint the other guy as the most evilest scumbag on the face of this earth over the last 30 years or so,that talk of a dictator or ending democracy just rolls of folks backs as normal negative campaign rhetoric. Folks have got so use to the negativity that they ignore it.


    As for Biden being a very good president, most Americans disagree with that. 85% of Democrats approve of the job Biden has done, 6% of republicans, but that is to be expected. The party of the president always thinks their president has done a great job, the opposition party not so. I usually throw out both major parties in subjects like this and look at what independents have to say, the non-affiliated, less to non-partisan group. Only 35% of independents think like you as to the job Biden has done. 60% disapprove. Approval of Biden’s overall job performance is at 40%. Meaning 56% of all Americans think Biden’s has done a poor job.


    https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/approval-rating


    Personally, I think Biden has done an okay job. Not great, not bad. But one should remember that in 2020 folks voted for Biden to be a transition president. Someone in-between Trump and whoever came next. Transition presidents don’t run for reelection. This is probably another reason Biden is behind in the polls. Biden was a good, safe bet to defeat Trump in 2020, that is what most Americans wanted. But what most Americans want in 2024 is a president not named Biden or Trump to guide this nation past the year 2024. But what most Americans want or in this case didn’t want has been totally ignored by both major parties. We have approximately 60% of all Americans not wanting Biden reelection, we also have approximately 60% of all Americans not wanting Trump to regain the white house. Who wins? Flip a coin. Or one could put it whoever wins between these two, it will be a winner that wasn’t wanted by most Americans. The least unwanted candidate will become president.

    Goobled gook they were calling for Government to censor dissenting views. That you failed to recognize that is totally not surprising.

    So much for being friendly. This are progressively getting worse here. Reps also do damage, but dems are just a bit worse.

    The words definition have absolutely nothing to do with the man; detractors make of them whatever they need them to. We can't even have an adult conversation about the man because of the unreasonable hate/fear he invokes. The first thing that happens is they toss a bunch of unproven allegations about Trump out there (he made MILLIONS in office by selling out to foreign interests, you know, his hotel) He is a Russian spy. And so forth and so on.

    Facts can be right or wrong. Opinions are not facts. They cannot be right or wrong. They are just opinions. Think it through.

    It doesn't need thought, in fact your opinion on ... opinion's ... lacks thought. Even at an academic level where brainstorming "opinion's" is common, opinion's are routinely thrown out because they are ... wait for it ... WRONG! You can call it what ever you want, lacking, misguided ... whatever ... THEY ... ARE ... WRONG and without value. :wtf:

    Actually the original Star Trek had 50 min episodes. I appreciate your effort in sarcasm, but as I said, facts, numbers, math and the LEFT do not MIX well! Enjoy fantasy land, i hear its beautiful there. There is only one bad person in fantasyland (orange man) and episodes of stark trek can be as long as YOU FEEL they are :)

    I don't think incorrect statistics are funny, but hey, everyone has a different sense of humor (i'm not sure if thats allowed on the left but here on the right we can have different choices, even of comedians)
    Ain't freedom awesome?

    You have a point there: 2 new faces would have been better. But we haven't got that luxury.

    And, given his past behaviour, Trump is a no-go for me.

    If it comes down to the two idiots again, Joe and Don, it doesn’t really matter. Either way we’re screwed.
