I do not claim to be in the know with the current state of either of the 2 major political parties, so I haven’t the foggiest idea who the Dems might settle on who could galvanize the voters into a large turnout in November …which is what they are going to need.

Only if they can somehow re-animate JFK.

The final chapter on Mr. Trump’s interactions with the legal system hasn’t yet been written. So, I’ll withhold judgment. But saying a felon is “wrongfully convicted” and that the convictions “will certainly be overturned on appeal” does not impress me, given my 47 year career in the legal system. That’s what every mope says. Just like losing Presidential candidates fall back on “they stole the election.” 🤣

As I said in a different thread, Harris’ qualifications for VP had nothing to do with her “record.” She was black and had a Y chromosome. Those were her qualifications. That won’t cut it for a President. That people are falling in line behind her tells me 2 things: 1. The Dems are all but conceding the Presidential election, and Harris will be the “fall guy.” They don’t have anyone who can ramp up in the next 3 1/2 months to beat Trump. So, Harris will be the sacrificial lamb — and then we’ll never hear from her again ( What’s Sarah Palin doing these days?) 2. The grassroots Dem leaders are lining up behind Harris simply to demonstrate they are toeing the Party line, positioning themselves to survive the housecleaning that will come after the ignominious defeat in November. It’s every Democrat for him/her/themselves from this point on.

The Democrats are about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How they managed to lose an election to an impeached former President who was also a convicted felon is the stuff of political legend. Given the stakes, this might be the greatest organizational failure in recorded history. Perhaps this will be the impetus to sweep out the political hacks that form their leadership, and get some people in there who are actually in touch with the American people.

Sure. I sent sympathy cards to all of the approximately 8,000 Americans who died that day.

Pot, meet Mr. kettle.

Kamala Harris is the VP because her skin is black and she has no Y chromosome. Those are OK qualifications for a VP, but not for the leader of the free world. If there are still Democrats worthy of the name, they’ll jettison her and start over. They have about 4 weeks to find someone.

Afraid they might put up someone who could actually beat Trump? I suppose anything’s possible. But what have the Dems done recently that would lead anyone to believe they might get this right? Their standard barrier for the last 8 yrs. has been a senile sock puppet. I’m confident they will screw this up.

So, Biden throws in the towel. Now follows a sh*t show of mammoth proportions. And who is the beneficiary of this? Honestly, the only thing that appeals to me about Trump is that he’s got to be the luckiest SOB on the planet. One of the great Robber Barons of our time has been transformed, by overreaching prosecutors, into a martyr of sorts — a sort of modern day Robin Hood. His opponent pees down his leg on national TV. An assassin’s bullet merely clips his ear, scant inches from turning his head into a canoe. His opponent folds like a cheap suit, leaving the Blues scrambling like mad just a few months before the election. If I were Trump, it’s time to go into the prevent defense, and just take the air out of the ball between now and November.

Thank goodness I have you to tell me how I really feel. Otherwise, I’d be lost.

Man, you have really got the Trump style down to a T.

Get help.

You gotta love it!

Was this idea from your Marketing Department? 😅😂🤣

So predictable. So, was the guy who was shot and killed the actual shooter? Or was he some unwilling patsy who was sacrificed for the greater good?

Here you go @temptation and @BTF “Why didn’t the Secret Service have someone on that roof?” “Because then there would have been both Secret Service and the CIA on the same roof.”

Now who can’t take a joke? 😉

With which statement? 😂😅🤣

Agreed. But it’s tackle football in July. Gotta love it! I worked the game twice, and it’s a great experience.

Trump is also guilty of cultural appropriation. He stole the Billy Jack salute! 😂 If you think I have anything but contempt for Biden and his ilk, you’re dead wrong. They are both ass hats in different ways. The only similarity between them is that they are both bad Presidents and bad for the country.

This is a consequence of your paranoia. Nobody “blamed” Trump. But no one can deny that his rhetoric is polarizing. “Blame” connotes fault. That’s why I never used that word. Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric was a “cause” of the attempt on his life, but that’s not to say he was to “blame.” But you — and many other Trump supporters that I know — embrace the “us vs. the world” underdog mentality, which causes them to see demons where there aren’t any. That’s why many of those people, like you, for example, confuse “cause” with “blame.”

Your paranoia is showing.

When I heard about the shooting, I turned to my wife and said: “By 8 a.m. tomorrow you will be able to find national media outlets wondering if Trump didn’t stage the whole thing as a vote-getting ploy.” And I wouldn’t worry about some grand conspiracy. We’ll find out soon that the shooter was a lone whacko who thought he was doing the country a service. Trump’s rhetoric is often inflammatory and tends to trigger violent behavior (Jan. 6 anyone?) in those that are already unbalanced, regardless of party affiliation. This should not come as a shock to anyone. But I’m sure the right-wing fearmongers out there will try to make big political capital off this. Just another bizarre twist in an already bizarre presidential campaign.
