I think he's representative of the people he represents. They probably haven't got a clue who the French president is either. :lol:

AFAIK you have to be what...35, 40...something like that? So clearly the idea of age limits in at least one direction isn't untenable.

Presumably because even the Democrats aren't stupid enough to want President Kamala.

Same reason Trump chose Pence: To prevent assassination.

It really is a disastrous situation. Biden, to keep Trump out, or Trump to keep Biden out. Words fail me.

Is there literally no better option in the running?

How is it these days that none of the west seems to have leaders that can actually lead or want to lead, it's almost like it's all planned out and the lack of option of someone really good who will look after the public rather than their mates and own back pockets is set up, no?

Yesterday was the Nevada Republican Primary. "None of these candidates" got the highest number of votes (63.2%, 43,893 votes)... Trump wasn't on the list, Nikki Haley got 30.5% (21,999 votes), with Pence 3rd with 4% (2,752 votes)

To say that my good friend over in Boston is depressed by this would be an understatement. He and many other Americans feel the country has lost its way and that things are going to get much worse before they wake up from their malaise and get the place back to where it should be. That does not include the orange despots MAGA version as the answer.

He did pretty damn good the first time... The issue is people focus on his personality & not what he actually accomplished.

& let's not forget the third option:
Kennedy.

Trump adversaries are trying to get him locked up before the election. Has anyone noticed the irony when comparing the US and Pakistan elections?

It's been three years & they still haven't charged a single person with insurrection.

Edit: The hearing is already over.

The American people aren't "the enemy"... I guess you still ignoring Trumps comment during the speech that day about protesting peacefully?.. or the fact that Pelosi refused Trumps request (on Jan 4th) for extra security measures during the inauguration etc.. & that she called the Pentagon to get the military to remove him from office.. which IS insurrection, Luckily the Pentagon told her to fuck off.

In related news, Biden forgot the name of Hamas yesterday & referred to them as "the opposition" & stood there looking like his brain had melted for just a bit too long.
Luckily a reporter said "Hamas?" & woke him up again.

DOJ has released the report about Biden illegally having classified documents.

Biden: Every President has done this.

DOJ, you weren't President, you were a private citizen.
