So, you want us to hire a demented old man that needs a host of puppet masters to run the nation. A guy with strong bribery ties to China and the Ukraine, pees in his diaper and then falls going up stairs, and has enriched his entire family since becoming president? Then too, his wingman son has done his share of financial chicaner, and included "The big guy!"
Clearly you're referring to TFG. But Jared Kushner, his wingman as former senior advisor to the president, was his son-in-law - not his son.
(somewhat cleaned up and paraphrased from Quora)
Is there any kind of line that TFG's followers will not excuse? He mocks the military and practically invites Russian aggression, and they still support him? It begs the question: Could he really shoot someone in broad daylight on Times Square and many would still support him?
It is astonishing how quickly many of you dropped everything and rallied around him after it became known that he had been charged with several federal offenses, including violating the Espionage Act.
This clown, who likely cost you the previous p**********l e******n, the last midterm e******n, your prized "red wave," and who was already facing an indictment in New York, has become the focal point of your all-out unity.
And what did many of you do? You began wailing like banshees about how unjust everything was. And furiously, while pounding your chests, you clutched your pearls and beseeched the heavens to intervene.
Before being forcefully removed from office, loyal arse-licker, GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, tweeted: "Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America." He was deplorably unaware that indeed, it had been a dark day for several years.
“Little Marco” Rubio had no idea how perilously close to the t***h he was when he tweeted: “There is no limit to what these people will do to protect their power and destroy those who threaten it, even if it means ripping our country apart and shredding public faith in the institutions that hold our republic together.”
And then, Boots DeSantis tossed in his loyal arse-licking critique, not that it did him much good. It was all just a pathetic performance the world had already seen and is getting bloody tired of watching.
I’ll tell you, while we're scratching our heads, we're asking ourselves: What in the name of Ronald Reagan's ghost is wrong with so many of you?!?
Has anyone in your tribe ever stopped to consider the fact that this guy keeps getting indicted; that he was recently found liable for defamation and sexual abuse by a jury; that he lies as easily as he breathes; that his company was found guilty of numerous counts of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records, that he incited a mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol, and that his own attorney, Michael Cohen, served time in prison?
This is the same guy whose chief financial officer admitted to 15 felonies during a ten-year tax scheme, the man whose campaign chair (Paul Manafort), national security adviser (Mike Flynn), chief strategist (Steve Bannon), and campaign adviser (Roger Stone) were all found guilty on felony counts. Have you not considered the possibility that this isn't the greatest candidate to bank on for the future success of your political party?
Has it ever occurred to any of you that maybe the guy in this narrative who seems constantly surrounded by criminals taking the rap for him, isn't the genuine victim?
TFG would be squawking for a bucket of fish and slapping you all in the face with his wings if he was any more of an albatross for the lot of you.
All you've ever done is circle him like cheerleaders suffering from Stockholm syndrome, supporting the biggest loser ever to lose, while he d**gs you and your party down. All the while, the world is watching and waiting, wondering and withering while you figure out if you’re aware that he is a hazardous and flawed product that is not benefiting America.
But you’re here, aren’t you? Unable to stop yourselves. And just as much as he has, you’ve also become entirely snaffled by his victimization saga which is so similar to addiction, it’s like beating your head against the wall, but it's not helping you or anyone else. And you really need to figure out how to stop.
It is not the result of a conspiracy theory that other people aren't in TFG's situation. The reason for this is that they haven’t done the crap he’s done and there isn't sufficient evidence to place any of them in that circumstance. Period.
For the love of God - Wake Up! You’re laying down your lives for a man who wouldn’t pour his diet coke on you if you were on fire!
Rather than 'Gaul'... "ancient country of western Europe comprising the region now occupied by France and Belgium", I believe you meant 'gall'..."bold and impudent behavior."

Easy way to cover the fine, if he is approved.
Not likely he would be approved.

A damn good cover of Cash's hit song
I agree with Joe Walsh's statement "Mike Pence k**led his GOP career with criticism of Trump". Yet, I view Pence as having far more honor, integrity and Patriotism/love of country than Trump has ever possessed, or ever will.

The AF band members singing did a great job
Yes, they did, Rose
I especially liked the Texan with the deep bass voice.

Good grief stop with the political crap. And I’m pretty sure he was referring to Ron
Yes, I was referring to Ronald Hatt's rabid rants and capitalizations in postings.

Sort of butting in but Ronnie is fun.
His posts are formatted like a puzzle or abstract art.
Are you sayin' that ol' Ronald could be OPP's version of Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali
Rose42 wrote:
I agree. I’m sure we could have a nice conversation.
Ron needs to lighten up.
Yet, look the bright side of his more recent posts: There's less capitalization/yelling from the guy.

Then there were at least 2 other customer's who kept lions and tigers and bears, oh my. This one guy had a male lion in a cage with a female tiger. He said " yes they breed, but every time she gives birth, the male eats the babies. We have not been able to separate them in time to save the babies when she gives birth, yet.
I have heard/read that about male lions and their babies.

Why can’t you respect that this section isn’t for politics and just shut up?
Sadly, Rose, Ronald Hatt has a personal legacy to which he apparently feels obligated to maintain.

And, I think the numbers are a lie.
Financially, life is ten times as bad as it was before Biden. People see that. I see that.
Have you been to the grocery store, or the gas pump lately?
Tried to finance anything?
You can give me all the "feel good" stuff you want about q***rs, the environment, "fairness", and all that scat all day long. And, I'll tell you you're full of s**t.
People are more focused on how much a sack of taters, and a gallon of gas cost, and if some wetback is gonna mug em while pumping their 10 gallons for 40 bucks.
You can h**e Trump all you want. I don't care. What I DO care about is policies that work. The policies in place now obviously don't work. Well, depending on your goal, I guess. And, what IS the goal of the "progressive left" here in America? Can you explain it to me?
Don't bother sending articles, you tell me.
Me, personally, I don't care about the man. I care about the policies.
It is more than obvious to me that Jose' Biden doesn't set his own policies. He is an elderly, declining puppet. A figurehead for other people to implement their goals.
In my mind, he isn't fit to be President of an HOA, let alone the once United States of America.
But, since you h**e one man so much, let's just burn the whole thing down.
Reasonable people are just collateral damage.
As much as that pisses me off, I'm willing to accept it, because I know my adult kids will die in a pile of hot brass fighting this bulls**t.
I don't defend "The Donald", that is for... (

Clearly, we often view life and politics through different lenses and may feel the other's lenses are muddied. C'est la vie. Even given that, I think too highly of you to have those differences effect our long-standing friendship.
Mark Twain was quoted as saying, "The rule is perfect: In matters of opinion, or adversaries are insane". Though I cannot comprehend how so many have been caught up in Trump's actions or rhetoric, I do not see them to be insane - just those holding a different opinion.
Btw, Arch, I buy groceries/gas/etc. on a daily basis. Who doesn't? As wages and costs have generally increased year to year my entire life, I am reminded of another quote by Will Rogers, "Things ain't what they used to be and never were". IMO, the main culprit for our current situation was c***d and its continuing effect upon our economy.
As always, my best to you and your Family.

Sorry Arch. Carefully re-read the doctor's assessment. 181 million+ of Americans clearly saw/see Trump as worse than President Biden. Btw, I honestly can't understand how anyone can defend The Donald.
To each their own, but you'll get another chance at it this coming November.
Sorry.
I meant 81 million, but in my haste to leave the house for a visit with Family, I mis-posted the number and failed to catch and correct it.
