We haven’t had a good president in a long time

I disagree. Trump was a great president. Look at what he did, not what the media lied to you about he said, or showed you in chopped up video.

Just one quick example is the Middle East. Trump's Abraham Accords were a truly impressive foreign policy achievement. Given more time, they would have likely expanded to other Middle Eastern countries which would, in the long run, pressure and isolate the more extreme countries in the region from the more moderate, peacefully inclined countries. That's incredible outside the box thinking and was apparently working pretty well, until...

Demented Joe, on the other hand, returns to Iran $6 billion dollars on September 11... that's right, the anniversary of the worst terror attack this country has ever suffered. Less than one month later, Hamas which is supported by Iran with money, logistics and planning, attacks Israel, massacring innocent civilians including babies, women and the elderly.

And then Demented Joe incredulously claims during the 60 Minutes interview that if re-elected he can bring peace to the Middle East. Now *that's* demented! How is he going to do that? By publicly supporting Israel while privately favoring Iran? Not exactly new or innovative, nor particularly smart, but that's what we get with that guy. Reminds me of when he said he'd cure cancer. How's that goin' Demented Joe?

Yeah, Trump was no good with that policy about working towards peace in the Middle East, affordable gas, massive employment, and a foreign policy in which nobody ever even thought about fcuking with us. Yeah, he sucked alright... those damn mean tweets!

Trump definitely had his good moments, but the country is divided and Biden and Trump are leading that divide, I think it’s time for a new, fresh face.

Perhaps. After Trump lost, I figured a fresh face would be good, as long as the person would also many of the same policies and positions as Trump. But now that we're seeing the media ramp up attacks on the other candidates, it's clear that it's not just Trump they'll lie about. I'll admit, part of me wants him to be elected just to watch them lose their collective minds, again. But that's the kind of selfish thing neolibs would want, so I won't let myself go there. I want what's best for the country, and that sure as hell is not more Demented Joe, certainly not Kacklin' Kommie-la, and absolutely not Gavin Nussolini from here in Kalifornia. Seeing him in action up close for these last few years makes me fear for the country if he gets the dem nomination. And if those three are the best the dems can trot out, then absolutely Trump would be better.

That’s why I think a candidate like Tim Scott would be a good president

I like him as a candidate, so I certainly could vote for him. But I'd have to do a little more research on his positions before I'd vote for him.

The thing about him that drives neolibs crazy is they simply cannot fathom how a Black man can be a republican. He embodies everything they hate about republicans, because they cannot comprehend how someone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps with no direct assistance by the govt (meaning them) which means he owes them nothing, which in turn means they can't buy the vote of someone like that with their govt giveaways. They can't do anything with someone like that, so their world no longer makes sense to them! 🤣

That's a big plus for him in my book, even though it's not enough to vote for him, just as neolibs' reaction should Trump win not being enough for me to vote for him. No matter who the candidate or what the situation, I love to see neolibs eyes cross and their brains boil over when the world doesn't fit into their bigoted, pre-conceived notions and people don't fit into their bigoted, preconceived identity boxes.

I pick him because he comes from a more middle class family and understands the e American people better than Trump or Biden, and hasn’t been fighting a culture war like Ron DeSantis

That's a very good reason for supporting him. It's not quite enough for me, but assuming I agree with his positions on the issues, it would certainly cement my opinion to vote for him.

If you also come from a middle class family, that's a natural way to think. I would also identify with him in that sense, because growing up I came from a lower middle class family. It wasn't until well into my adulthood that I decided to do something about that. Like him, I certainly had no illusion that the government was there to help me be anything more than dependent on them.

I’m actually only 13, so I haven’t had lots of life experiences that influence me to think the way I do, and as far as politics goes I’m no more than a observer because I’m not at the legal age to actively engage in politics, although I do plan on going to college to major in something like International Relations

AManlyMan is only 13?! How misleading... (you're not lying, right? 🤣) Actually, when you said your great grandfather fought in Korea, I started doing some math. I just figured the people in your family had kids relatively young, which is also the case in my family. Ultimately I figured it really doesn't matter, as long as you know what you're talking about and aren't a tool, which you certainly do not seem to be.

Since we're sharing, I'll let you in on the secret that Fat_Elvis isn't really fat. It's all part of my scheme to cause people to under estimate me. Sort of like that scene from the movie "The Color of Money" when Forest Whitaker's character asks Paul Newman's character if he thinks he, Forest Whitaker, should lose some weight. This was right after he hustled a boatload of cash from Paul Newman playing pool. Yeah, I know, you likely haven't seen that movie, but it's a good one. Directed by Martin Scorsese.

Okay, I think we know way too much about each other's real lives now!

"I’m not at the legal age to actively engage in politics"

I think this depends on how you look at engaging in politics. I've always been interested in politics and when I was a bit younger than you, I volunteered to work on the campaign for the US Congressman from my district. I learned a lot.

I’m not lying, I am actually 13. I just picked this username because I found it quite humorous 😂 although what I met by not at the legal age of engaging in politics is not at the legal age to vote (18) or run for any sort of political or government position. I just really enjoy national and international politics and find it interesting and entertaining.

It was apparently working pretty well, until....

..until it wasn't.

All becuz Joe BidenNnNn!!1
🙄

Yolo, what substance is there in that comment?

Biden was (well, is) nothing more than a tool for whoever is really running the show in the DNC and the White House.

The odds of him being the nominee again are pretty slim, imo. The media is turning on him, and not just because of Hunter. He's pretty much betting his presidency on how he performs in this current Middle East crisis. A crisis that has his fingerprints all over it through his funding of Iran and Hamas. I doubt he has the mental capacity to do well in such a volatile and dynamic situation. The man is barely a vegetable.

It looked like you didn't finish your thought there so I helped you out.. as well as pointing out your implied BDS.

Trump's Abraham Accords were about as effective as his "love letters" with Kim Jong Un. They were also working pretty well... until they weren't. They fell apart while the donald was still president though, so you can't really imply it was Biden's fault with a straight face. Or maybe you can idk.

As far as "who is really running the show", be sure to let us know when you find out.

To have BDS, wouldn't Demented Joe have to be living in my head, rent free, 24x7x365? That's pretty much the definition of TDS, so I think it probably applies to him as well.

So, nope yolo, my thought was complete. You probably wanted some ranting drivel about Biden in there, so perhaps it's you who has BDS?

"Trump's Abraham Accords were about as effective as his "love letters" with Kim Jong Un."

The Abraham Accords were just a beginning. You seem to have missed that critical component in what I wrote, even though I was extremely clear about that point.

Okay, so you think Feckless Joe's proclamation on 60 Minutes that he can bring peace to the Middle East has any connection to the the real world? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a vegetable!

And btw, relations with NK have also taken a dump since Demented Joe was installed as POTUS. Or hadn't you noticed?

Perhaps you should take a bit more of an objective view of world events and how Trump dealt with problems now that we see how Demented Joe has run the train right off the tracks (not just here at home, but all over the world as well.)

"As far as "who is really running the show", be sure to let us know when you find out."

Why can't you tell me?

I'd say anyone blaming anything and everything on someone would be pretty deranged.

"..and was apparently working pretty well, until.."

This^ was what I was referring to as far as completing your thought for ya. Unclear if you understood that.

The "love letters" were also a "just a beginning" that fell apart.. "Repeal and replace" would be another one.

"you think Feckless Joe's proclamation on 60 Minutes that he can bring peace to the Middle East has any connection to the the real world?"

If true, I never said anything about that nor did I watch it. In any case.... hey.. that statement was probably just a beginning.
😉

Relations with NK have been declining since the love letters fell apart when little rocket man resumed firing his little rockets.

"As far as "who is really running the show", be sure to let us know when you find out." Why can't you tell me?"

Joe Biden is running the show. I'm just not sure how long it will take for you to figure that out. Lol but hey.. if you find someone else.. let us know..with sources of course.

"I'd say anyone blaming anything and everything on someone would be pretty deranged."

So you admit those with TDS are deranged. Good to know. I was worried your 'keen grasp of the obvious' was malfunctioning. 👍

Let's not quibble over a perceived or not unfinished thought. In hindsight I should have ignored that. It's just not important.

"The "love letters" were also a "just a beginning" that fell apart.. "

So it's your contention that if "a beginning" doesn't come to fruition relatively quickly, it's a waste of time? I hope not, because that's no way to achieve anything, short of war (which of course can be fast, but certainly can drag on)

I'd say that attitude won't even scratch the surface of solving long-standing problems, which absolutely require time and patience to resolve. Instant gratification is not a quality that works particularly well in foreign policy.

If it did, what has Demented Joe accomplished that was fast enough to satisfy you?

"hey.. that statement was probably just a beginning."

Good one, yolo! It's nice that you have a good sense of humor. I just asked the question due to its tangential relation to your quip about Trump and the Abraham Accords. You know, comparing the two Presidents; one who actually accomplished something to advance peace in the Middle East and one who is a potted plant currently trying to cover his tracks of funding Hamas and desperately trying to build some kind of legacy as a statesman, since his domestic policy has already crashed and burned.

"Joe Biden is running the show."

😂🤣😅😆😂🤣😅😆😂🤣😅😆 You're on fire today, yolo! Nicely played.

I think it's safe to say that while we don't know who *is* running the show, we know who *isn't* because they are mentally incapable of doing so. Unless of course, the show can be run before 3:30 PM dinner time and Depends changing time.

...And BDS.

" a truly impressive foreign policy achievement" as you described it imo would've lasted longer than that. If something that was "just a beginning" can be described the way you did it would seem to open the door for all kinds of malarkey.

Anyways yup Biden is president. He's running the show. At least as much as any other president has. Trump wasn't secretly installed by the military. Obama is probably off somewhere riding jetskis or something. Buy ya... let me know when you find out who is (allegedly) secretly running the show.
