It just amazes me that people will go to lengths to defend Biden and Trump. Like what loyalty have they shown you to back their every comment and move? ItÂ’s ok to say both arenÂ’t fit to be president. ItÂ’s ok to want better than two old out of touch rich men who honest donÂ’t care about you. Until some of you address the real alligators in the swamp which are the political parties and their extreme view points hurting the country than the swamp will never be drained. Maybe discuss actual solvable problems like congress term limits, age restrictions for running for president, gerrymandering, Red Dye 40 and other artificial colors and sweeteners in food, PBMs causing pharmacyÂ’s to close at an alarming rate. Sorry, now back to the constant bickering about which old man is least worst.

Agree with all of what you said, especially the bolded part. I got two buddies that work at separate flavoring companies. They have both told me you wouldn't believe some of the crap that is put into our food/drinks here in America.

One of my buddies shared with me to never drink Prime or any of the other brands that company makes---basically just drinking cancer right out of the bottle.

You probably believe his "university" and "charity" were legitimate. Sad times that some are so easily fooled by a person that only cares for himself.

Hmmmm. Even the Democrats deny anonymous sources when it comes to Biden.
I’ll go with the fact that Kelly wasn’t there and that he only cited the unnamed sources in Goldberg’s piece- the piece that, despite promises of providing backup, Goldberg never has.

From the Wall Street Journal today re: Biden at a NY Fundrsiser:

“ During a fundraiser at the Four Seasons in New York in June 2023, Biden spoke for five to 10 minutes and then took a few questions, said attendees who bought a ticket. They were struck by how fragile he seemed. At one point, Biden couldn’t recall the word for “veteran.” The president asked the group to help him find the word, saying he wanted to refer to a person who had served in the Army or Navy.

Asked about these events, Kevin Munoz, a Biden campaign spokesman, criticized reporters who used anonymous sources to recount the president’s behind-the-scenes interactions.”

Sad times when one can be duped by an Altsheimer patient and a 50 plus year lying politician.

You might find this surprising, but I didn’t vote for Trump either time. Nor did I vote for Crooked Hillary nor Biden.
I actually may not vote at all this time or, maybe for Crazy Kennedy as another protest vote, like I did for the Libertarian candidates.
Our screwed up Primary system is truly to blame. And it’s gotten worse.
The fact is that what the Democrats put forth these days is 100 times more bullshit and worse than the Repubs. It is truly insane crap.
And, yeah. I voted for JD Vance.

Louisiana is now requiring that all public schools display the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. This has set off a hornets nest, which I kind of get, but here's what I don't get.

Gov. Jeff Landry ACTUALLY said this...

Quote:

---

“If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses” who got the commandments from God, Landry said.

What should draw criticism from EVERYONE is the brazen ignorance of this statement. Moses was NOT the first law-giver. There had been written laws for at least a thousand years before Moses is believed to have lived. I mean...if you're going to profess to know what's best for schools, shouldn't it look bad to everyone if this person comes off sounding like they themselves need to go back to school??

Representative Greg Landsman was on with Scott Sloan this morning on WLW. Apparently, he’s going to be on a call today with other Dems discussing Biden. I did not catch all of the conversation, but Sloanie kept asking if Landsman thought Biden was mentally and physically capable of staying in office and being reelected. The only answers he could get revolved around Trump. He kept trying to get back to his question and Landsman kept going back to Trump. Not really surprising.

The same thing happens here on both sides. Deflection is the norm.

I don't think most Democrats who want Biden to step aside are all that concdrned about his mental and physical abilities. They realize that he has limitations, but that's not really what concerns them. What ACTUALLY concerns them is that they are realizing that he will lose to Trump. And...they are correct.

It's absurd. Even Justice Barrett won't approve when a challenge to this law inevitably reaches the Supreme Court.

Wonder what his Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. constituents think.
