Biden's announcement should terrify every American.
ReplyDeleteWhen will he be told?
ReplyDeleteOK, now that's funny!
DeleteYeahm you can call him senile and demented, but he made fools out of the GOP with his rope-a-dope during the SOTU. What does that say about you?
ReplyDeleteHe was a liar in his SOTU. That's something to be proud of? Oops, I forgot; he is a Democrat.
DeleteGrandpa Joe is going to get another term. Deal with it, right-winders!
ReplyDeleteYou mean Obama, Rice, and whoever else is pulling his strings is going to get another term.
DeleteWell it is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThe republicans are faced with a loser candidate in trump and mini-me Desantis is fading away.
The best thing the republicans can do is get behind a moderate republican and drive the maga folks out.
Let them form their own party which will fall apart and leave rational republicans to put the republican party back together.
It will not be easy for them but if they want any hope at getting a winning republican candidate they have no real choice.
He did a better job than expected reading a teleprompter. Hardly a rope-a-dope.
ReplyDeleteBernie, he is severely cognitively compromised.
Was this real or AI? Amazing technology today could even have a dead guy run and be re=elected....
ReplyDeleteOh yes, please underestimate President Biden.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
Bernie, Bernie. So do you like your life under Joe? What is up should be down and what is down should be up. He’s destroying our country and economy. You may hate Trump but you were safer and had more money under his Presidency. Typical Democrat- glutton for more! Glad I am no longer one.
ReplyDeleteA vote for Joe is a vote for President Harris. If that doesn’t scare you, nothing will. (And no, I’m not a Trumpette.)
ReplyDeletePeople hate trump more than they love our country. Trumps message isn't the
ReplyDeleteThe one big reason people will not vote for 80-year-old Biden...Kamala!
ReplyDeleteHeaven help us.
Trumps message isn't the issue people just really don't like him. And so much that they'd rather our country be run into the ground. It's personal that's why he lost. No real sense in trying again as people aren't changing. Too many hate him to get a win and no one wants to admit we were better off with him as our President. I loved what he did but wish he'd know he can't win and support another candidate who can for our country s sake
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame the democrats could not field a better candidate but he is still the lesser of the two evils almost no matter who the Republicans put up. and more especially if it is Trump or Desantis.
ReplyDelete2:25. Yes it should scare the hell out of America that Biden is the best which can be fielded by either party. It is extremely scarey when you have to choose the lesser of multiple bad choices.
ReplyDelete4:56 as with what Bernie said what does it say about you and you mental stability.
ReplyDelete9:13 PM -
ReplyDeleteTrump can win, but he won’t be allowed to win. Seriously, this is how far our nation has fallen. You and I don’t decide who is SELECTED to be the winner. The 2024 door to anyone winning is merely kept slightly open for appearance sake.
&:38 IU got so excited when I read your last sentence. Then I read it one more time finishing it with one. I much preferred the way I read you last sentence the first time.
ReplyDeleteGermany was better off under Hitler until he got into full power as well and Trump was/ is trying to head us down that same path. The biggest difference though is that Trump is old enough that no matter what happens his expectancy is short term. The scarier part is who he would install to follow him. At least Biden has Kamala. Who does Trump have MTG, Boebert, Gaetz? What a choice to make.
ReplyDeleteTwo time non-Trump voter here.
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone honestly say they are better off under Biden than Trump. No one can honestly make that assertion. You may not like him. You may believe everything the left wing media threw at you. You may even believe him to be the next Hitler (which is a childish level of insanity).
But no one that I know, or based on REAL NUMBERS, can anyone say they are better off under this President than they were under Trump.
The world is on fire because of a lack of leadership in the White House.
America is suffering in the international community.
It's time to put your big boy/girl pants on and realize that you may not like him, but he was a leader, a leader that made your life better and the lives of ALL AMERICANS, no matter your race, gender, sexuality, economic status, education level. EVERYONE.
He's got my vote.
6:26- I'll answer you. I can say that America is far worse off after that shit-storm of Trump's presidency; simply look at our Supreme Court. I voted for Biden for one reason - hoping he gets a few Supreme Court nominations. I intend to vote for him again for the exact same reason.
DeletePoor Fletch.
Delete9:18- yet, with a heart of gold.
DeleteHe doesn't know hes running. But his lawyers know he has to run to avoid his eventual indictments. They're coming though. He's going to be arrested just like the last assclown our sad country elected. But keep routing for your team. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI despise Trump as much as farthest left-winger. However, Trump would have easily won a second term and not try to steal the election if he didn't nominate three complete whackos to the Supreme Court. This, IMHO, was his downfall and his biggest mistake(s) as president. Had Trump nominated three moderate, yet conservative Justices, America would have given Trump another term, despite his complete lack of morals and criminal behavior. That's what sad.
ReplyDelete10:53. yes Trump could win and you or I could win but Trump has not won ever in his life. He more especially has never really won a presidential election based on the people of the united states. As you say he was handed the election in 2016 by the smoke an mirrors group.
ReplyDeletewhat win did he get from the SOTU speech? He won't even sit down to negotiate the debt ceiling issue after saying he was going to unite the country. How many embassies have needed to be evacuated on his watch because his foreign is awful. Lastly, He can't spell the word eight. Proof below

Sadly, neither party has developed new candidates. Republicans haven’t acted on anything that improves their constituent’s lives and Desantis is Trump-light but scary because he’s smart, not just stable-genius smart. The younger, middle-of-the-road, Democratic candidates haven’t shown up, except for Pete Buttigieg, but I don’t think he’s proven himself to the general public yet. Harris hasn’t inspired anyone yet. Trump won’t quit because it would cut him off from the Republican National Committee’s money, which he needs to survive. Do I see a Trump/Santos ticket? Lying all the way to the bank.
ReplyDeleteI like the response from 6:26 AM. my difference is that I did vote for Trump twice, and I have NO regrets having done that. Trump improved my life and made me feel safer living here.
ReplyDeleteI know it’s difficult to admit, by America is being destroyed ON PURPOSE from within. Those doing this damage are those who believe the world would be a better place without individual nation states. They are the Globalists. They ramped up their efforts under Obama, and those same key players continue that mission using Joe Biden.
Our Members of Congress no longer place the needs of citizens first. They respond best to big corporate donors and private individuals who funds their campaigns for re-election. Special spending favors to certain groups have destroyed our economy.
In this predicament, America can ONLY reverse to a more positive path through “Shock Treatment.”. Led by a strong, outspoken, experienced manager who can reduce the size of government, and bring back accountability to governance.
There is only ONE candidate in best position to handle this job. To think that candidate will come from under the Democrat Party banner is absurd. Only a grifter, or a fool, would suggest more of what Joe Biden provides. So, in a contest between Biden and Trump, the wise choice is to vote for TRUMP! That’s my plan, as a voter registered as No Party. Actually, I’ll vote for most any candidate from the Republican Party over any Democrat option.
I’d pay money to watch a televised game of Pictionary, played between Biden and Fetterman.
ReplyDeleteNow that would inspire international and domestic confidence in American governance.
BIDEN 2024!!!
ReplyDeleteSo having been a reader of this blog for many years - we had 4 years of pants wetting panic about the future of our country during Trump years and then another 2+ years of continued pants wetting about the future of our country...
ReplyDeleteYet here we are, still arguing and lets be really honest with ourselves - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has changed.
Bottom line everyone needs to just calm down and stop giving two shits about National Level politics. Its all the same regardless of what letter they have next to their name.
Just be a good person to your family and neighbors, help out where you can, work hard and stop worrying about what other people are doing or talking about. Its not that complicated.
11;06 you are an asshole.
ReplyDelete6:26 your boy Rump piled the kindling, put gas on it and did everything but actaully set the match to it until after he was told get the F out of the white house. Then his cronies through the match on the pile he created. He is the one who should be on the hook.
ReplyDeleteBiden may not have done much but after all the chaos from Rump quietness is actually a great thing.
12:57 another classic cult conversationalist for sure! As said earlier about people like you it is a shame you cannot make any viable contribution to society except for being the brunt of jokes and laughable situations.
ReplyDeleteYou can go back and get your GED if that would help.
More Breaking News regarding the Republican darling Tucker Carlson. Fox News fired him for several reasons: 1) Calling a senior executive a "c*nt", 2) Being an election denier, 3) Broadcasting edited tapes of the Insurrection and passing it off as a friendly tourist stroll, 4) Broadcasting and elevating anti-military disinformation views and 5) (believe it or not) false claims about Covid and being anti-vaccine.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this is what top level management are saying, judging by today's Fox programming, nothing will change.
It's also being reported that Russia State television is broadcasting Tucker Carlson's show 24/7 and are set to offer him a broadcasting contract to continue to sew disinformation.
2:26 you are a double asshole
ReplyDeleteWhile I appreciate 2:26 and 8:30 coming to my defense, I am the author of 11:06, but not the others. Therefore, I remain a single asshole, and therefore cannot be a double asshole.
DeleteI just wanted to clarify for you, who, exactly, you are calling assholes.
Cheers, mate!
4:38 classic. I guess the truth or at least partial truth does hurt some. Seems as if there might be more challenges in your life then any of know. Watch out for the Jewish space lasers. Maybe you need to put your tinfoil hat back on.
ReplyDeleteThe next presidential election is the epidemy of the problem in this country. There is not a true leader in any of the political circles who will step up. Our politicians have now depreciated to the lowest common denominator.
ReplyDeleteSo have far too many voters, 11:14 PM. It amazes me how many citizens are so clueless about the damage being done to their futures, and how they can willingly vote to keep this destruction going.
DeleteLook, voting Democrat will continue to keep us on the same path of decline. That much is undeniable. We need to get DIFFERENT people in control of this government.
I think most of the country would be ecstatic to be able to choose between Kennedy and Desantis. But we all know that the political class won't allow that to happen. Another example of a two-party system failure.
ReplyDeleteBernie!
