do or die

Tonight, so far, Sanders lost 3 states, including (for him) vital Michigan..and getting blown out in the process. Losing Washington State, later.... would pretty well finish the job.

We will need to work even harder, this year....to erase the asterisk.

With more details on insightful outreach policies, I'm sure...

Trump allies are handing out cash to black voters Organizers have begun holding events in black communities where they lavish praise on the president while handing out thousands of dollars in giveaways. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/29/trump-black-voters-cash-giveaways-108072

One of these day, will have to figure out if I am actually "left" or not. Or how rational I am. The prospect leaves me somewhat "wide eyed"

Torture is not official club policy.

Hey, Pence is actually a stable......uh, cardboard cutout. Funny, watching Pence step up to the podium, at last nights Trump press conference.....turned to the wife and said "lets see how many times Pence finds a way to praise Trump's leadership". Turns out it was 5 times, in just over three minutes. And as at most Trump PC's......Donald didn't stick around to take questions.

Trump is incredibly and fantastically concerned about the current situation..... ....with corporate profits and the stock market

Can sympathize. Had a speech impediment, growing up. Couldn't pronounce a number of basic vowels. Not everybody can be that understanding, at times. Fortunately, I am now tremendously articulate. At least on paper.....

Gonna be rough.....what with Biden, who has stumbles and stutters, and forgets stuff......and Trump - who knows what idiocy will come out of his mouth, anytime?

Well, I get a lot of my Trump "stories", straight out of the horse's mouth.

You have been watching the Trump press conferences, though? And what comes directly out of his mouth?

As far as the Vanity Fair story....bah. Trump would run right in there, without a gun....

Booch: Fired.

Have read the Federalist before - if they removed the Washington Examiner and Fox hacks, it would be better.

Well, one could really use a source of "trustworthy" news. Open to suggestions.....

If you go back a couple of pages, I pointed out in detail, the Donald's default approach and tactics that he applies to all situations. During this crisis, all we have had, so far is the same garbage. Why would there be a shortage of critics? I do agree with the opportunities for general leaders statement.... but unfortunately we have a President who spends all of his time attacking everybody and none of it collaborating with anyone.

What a lousy job of recruiting...

Sure, but Trump is currently the President, the only guy who can implement anything. He claims to be like Harry Truman (The buck stops here) Well, he could have a sign like Harry did on his desk. Although in his case it would read - The buck stops over there. Overall, some empathy, and honesty would go a long way, instead of all his current bragging, deflecting and political gas-lighting. As well as accepting some input from others, who may actually know more than he does. On that note, do you seriously think that this supreme narcissist could accept anything from anybody..... that he couldn't take credit for himself? A real leader strives for truth, unity, clarity, and provides reassurance to all, in the face of challenges. Unfortunately, Americans are stuck with a fake leader.

This past week, as the coronavirus rages on.....Trump: Attacked 2 Governors for declaring a state of emergency in their home states Showed off his fiddling skills, online Tweeted out a phony doctored video of a Biden speech Continued to misrepresent and downplay virus risks, while contradicting actual health professionals Played golf Blamed the Fed, for the financial markets response to the virus outbreak Accused media and Democrats of "political weaponizing" Falsely blamed Obama, for slowing the development of coronavirus test kits Stated that cruise ship passengers exposed to the virus be left aboard... so that they don’t add to the actual number of total infections in the US. What inspiring leadership.....

That was pretty well put. Please understand that beyond that ......my real animus towards Trump, is that he is a simply disgraceful human being, on multiple levels. My problem with the GOP is that they have permitted their party to be totally hijacked - what used to be the Right loony fringe, is almost making the policy now.....and the Senate lie flat on their bellies while Trump (who cares nothing about the party) dumps piles of garbage on top of the existing swamp - unqualified yes men, boot lickers, truth twisters, and conspiracy theorists. The sort of folk, that Trump appreciates. Now, the Democratic party was badly divided, last election what with Hillary's arrogance and Sanders's stubbornness. That can't happen again. Biden is a Pence-like figure head (without being a religious nutter) who will have to depend on the VP slot for the heavy lifting of battling with Trump. If if comes to some form of brokered convention - the Dems are doomed. I have laid out in earlier posts, what they would have to do to win......

Well, you've done a pretty good job of hiding that particular light under a bushel basket, so far..... 😄

Have posted on enough political boards to endure just about everything. Upon reflection, you actually provide some form of balance here. After all, at least somebody has to take on the odious task,of shielding Agent Orange.

Corruption existed around the time of Adam and Eve. Historically both parties have left their stain on American politics. The modern American political system is currently awash in influence peddling, dirty money, avarice and is chock full of inequalities.... Yet in the here and now .....you play at Mr. Tell It All, when it comes to accusing "progressives" leftists" and other entities of inappropriate words and actions......yet somehow keep going that long extra mile... to continue glossing over, deflecting, excusing, or just outright evading any criticism of that lying, malignant, raging, narcissist Trump. Or, perhaps you simply admire him because he is "successful"

Having cruised around the net, practally since it was invented....can assure you that the Republican party (to say nothing of the Alt-right) is chock full of misogynist cretins. A lot of these guys (Including a fair number of Tea Party/Freedom Caucus boyos) would like to roll back the clock to the mid 1950's.....when women (to say nothing of Blacks, Hispanics, Gays etc.) simply knew their place. Comparing the Democrats (who are far from perfect in this area) to these guys.....is total fake equivalency
