What is the joke there? Did they do a spoof on a Simpsons type stereotype story? Or I guess its just what Trump might joke and offer to ViveK? I'm pretty sure it's a sterotype Simpsons story. And I'm pretty sure Bone Spurs would actually hire him to manage the White House 7-11... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what Melania must think when Bone Spurs is in court? Do you think she might "persuade" the judge to get him off if she showed up like that in court? These are also his lawyers Are we noticing a theme here? 1 hour ago, Warhippy said: You're lying if you say you wouldn't Hip, never stick it in crazy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue I have is what the Democrats are going to do about it. They can't possibly be bringing back Biden for a second term can they? Biden is worse than Trudeau. At least Trudeau has functioning brain cells. Biden doesn't even know he's alive. This is a massive risk the Democrats are taking if they bring back Biden. Unless Bone Spurs actually goes to jail, I don't think Biden can win another election. I heard Michelle Obama is considering running. Anyone but the 81-year-old man...

The Democrats don't have much choice at the moment other than to bring back Biden. You are right in that he's not exactly popular, but he's still proven to be enough to defeat Trump. Whether he's better or worse than Trudeau's irrelevant. Truth be told, the Democrats are not in the best situation leader wise and that will be a demerit on them come voting. However, Trump is far worse, which is a far greater demerit on the Republicans. Edited January 23 by The Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is far from ideal but who else do they march out there to compete with Trump? Harris? Buttigieg (sp)? Having Biden not run for a second term is a risk imo. Michelle Obama probably beats Trump but all indications over the last several years are that she is not in the least bit interested in the position.

Imo the vp choice has never been more important, it's why I'm hoping they swap out Harris with someone with a broad appeal. If voters don't have to worry about when Joe gets replaced that could be the difference needed to beat Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said Peter Buttigieg but apparently he hasn't done well as the secretary for transportation (I know an American and he told me this so... one dude's opinion) and a lot of the USA won't support a gay man, unfortunately. Maybe it's the Dem/Rep hybrid Manchin? Schumer? They are unlikely to give up their seats in the Senate imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least another indication of things are the Trump rallies themselves. Trump's reportedly has had to get smaller venues in order to make the rallies look bigger. If this is true, that's a massive indication of what it would take to beat him (ie. a lot less effort than 2020). So maybe someone else could do the job anyway, but still, Biden's the only one proven unfortunately. Edited January 23 by The Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ambiguity of the laws state that Barak Obama could feasibly run as the VP as well. Should BIden pass or be deemed unfit for office he would legally be allowed to finish the sitting term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I have no idea, but the polls on her are quite bleak and have been for a long time. All I know is I hope they find someone more palatable, because I really think Trump will beat Biden, particularly if old Joe has any kind of physical gaffe. No it's not fair, but that's how I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not fair, but that's how I read it. It's possible, but for that to happen, millions of voters who rejected Trump in 2020 have to change their minds and support him this time around, despite the very real possibility of him being a convicted felon. I'm not saying that it can't happen, (we've already been over the "logic" of the American voter) but I just have a hard time picturing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
