      Amen! I’m assuming Trump is going to win until he doesn’t. I’m also assuming if he doesn’t win we’ll have another 1/6 because there is no way he will drop the fraudulent election BS.

      I hope neither happens but I will love under the assumption of them happening till they don’t.

      P.S. No one particularly likes Biden but if given the choice between him and Trump/DeSantis there is no way in hell I’m not voting Biden.

        I like Biden. I just wish he wasnt such an old President. I wish he had gotten elected in 2008, with Obama as his VP. Crimea would be much different today. We probably wouldn’t have ever had a Trump Presidency, as Obama would have likely been elected in 2016 if he was up against Trump instead of Clinton.

        The biggest knock on Biden over the years was all the stupid stuff he says. (His “Gaffes”). But now that we’ve had a Trump Presidency, saying stupid stuff is an asset.

          Bidens speech has never bothered me since he has a legitimate reason for it. As for his age I agree he is to old. But I also think no one of retirement age, 65+, should hold elected office.

            I’m not even talking about his speech impediment, though. He has famously let his mouth get ahead of his brain over the years, and said things that he immediately regretted. Heck, it’s possible that his age is helping him in this respect, because he can’t physically talk as fast anymore.

            The thing is, Trump is only three years younger than Biden, so I don’t know why the focus is always on Biden’s age.

            It really depends on the 65 yo though. I mean I’m only 13 years from that and I don’t think I’m as quick as I was when I was 40. Now I consider myself a lot more wise than I was at 40 so I guess it’s a trade off.

            I do think there should be a limit honestly but more like 75. Of the folks I know that is when they really start hitting that cognitive limit. Like my MIL constantly getting turned around in my new house when they visited. It’s only like 1500 sq ft … how can you get lost? And don’t even get me started on the argument I almost got into with my FIL about student debt relief. He probably still thinks college can be paid for by working at McDonalds over the summer and books are like $20 a semester. Freakin’ boomers.

          Yeah the age thing is a bit bothersome and I’m really tired of all these old boomers (I’m a gen-x’er) … can we get somebody in office who has a clue about tech please and not think the internet is a series of tubes.

          I do wish he were a little more progressive but for the most part he’s done a really good job. Am I excited about Biden? No. Am I scared to death of Trump/Rhonda Sand Tits? Fuck yes. Will I vote for Biden? Absolutely. I was so happy when Biden got into office and I didn’t have to wonder about the horse running through the hospital anymore (It’s a John Mulaney bit… quite hilarious).

        My parents, of the same generation as the man, absolutely love him. So, he does have diehard fans, don’t mistake that.

      Agreed. Clinton Blowout mentality was a contributing factor to 2016. America may never recover if Trump wins again.

        Or the world. He will back down and let Russia win on Ukraine which will embolden china on Taiwan
