Pathetic. One belongs in prison and the other you would take the car keys away from.

I agree that it's pathetic that people would consider voting for a convicted felon whose felonies are all based on screwing people and enriching himself. And, apparently, many people think a person like that should be given more power and more opportunities to screw them in vastly more devastating and personal ways. Pathetic probably isn't a strong enough word considering the blood of thousands upon thousands that's on his hands for his gross mismanagement of the pandemic. But, sure... let's run it back.

You are a loyal soldier Tas. Good on you. If Joe were your father, would you let him drive? I would not, but for a couple of reasons. One, I'm the absolute WRONG person to ask. Two, no president should drive himself anywhere (the stakes are too high) and I truly think that everyone over 65 should have to re-take a road test every time their license is up for renewal (at a minimum). True story in explanation of the first part: The summer before my freshman year at Georgetown (late July), I drove with my mom to visit my grandparents in western Long Island. Because we were from a more rural area and there was yet to be an Amazon, my mother told me to go with my grandfather to a local mall and pick up bedding. At that time, my grandfather had been through several surgeries and rounds of chemo for two different cancers. Long story short, he wasn't well. He was also, at that point, pretty shaky on his feet which was a relatively new development at that time. So, we go to the mall and pick up bedding, etc. It's a mall that's right on Jericho turnpike for those familiar with the area. In short, it's 4 lanes wide at points and a sh!tshow on a good day. This wasn't a good day. So, we exit the mall and my grandfather asks me for the keys to the car. So, in one ear, there's my mom and my conscience. In the other is my faltering grandfather telling me (not asking) to give him the keys. So, I give him the keys because, ya know. At one point, he pulled a 3 lane shift for which, I'm quite sure, he never checked a mirror or nor considered for a second. For whatever reason, we made it back to his house without a dent or a scrape on our bodies or the car but I sure didn't get off lightly with my mother or my grandmother. And, knowing the result, I wouldn't have changed a thing about that day with him. On edit: flash forward to October of my freshman year and my grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's explaining the motor skill issues. He lived to see me graduate (just barely) but he was unable to make the trip to attend. He was a great guy and I loved him dearly.

A pretty good rule of thumb: if your party, candidates, or policies are supported by Nazis, no matter how thoroughly you’ve deluded yourself otherwise, you are indeed not one of the “good guys”.

I have no way of fact checking the donations of the news CEOs but if this is confirmed it should be amplified to every possible message board in the whole country. The reason Trumps lying debate performance is not the topic of conversation is this!

The reason Trumps lying debate performance is not the topic of conversation is this! If you have the time you can identify individual donors if they contribute more than $200 per year to a candidate and some PACs but not dark money to PACs. I have looked up some of my "Republican" neighbors to see if they are crazy enough to fund Demented Donnie's legal expenses. Contributions also list employment of the donor. Other than Murdoch, I'd be a bit surprised if the CEOs of reputable news organizations (Fox is not reputable) contributed. www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookupExample, Rashida Jones (not to be confused with the actress) is CEO of MSNBC and no evidence she has given to Trump. www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Rashida+JonesLachlan Murdoch CEO of Fox Corp. www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Lachlan+MurdochKimberly Godwin CEO of ABC News www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Kimberly+Godwin

Inveterate liar just keeps on lying. The impossibility of separating Trump from Project 2025 We can see how he sold real estate and the Trump brand in how he sells his candidacies. He offers few details and sweeping assertions, little in the way of specifics and a lot in the way of promises. He tells people what he thinks they want to hear, often trying to tell people different things at the same time. The goal is to make the sale, dealing with complaints once the money or the vote is in hand. You can see it at work in his effort to distance his campaign from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a road map for a Republican president to overhaul the federal government that has become a point of attack for Trump’s critics. “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/08/trump-project-2025-policy-staff/
