Well, why would you want a leader smarter than the average janitor?
They'd just try to talk us into some crazy idea they got out of a book instead of one they thought up their ownselves.

Not arrogance, fear. The dude is paranoid about getting cooties from other people. I'm not sure about this, but it seems like the only time you see him near someone else is win they are outside - preferably in cold weather.
The best way to meet him would be with a really "wet" cold. 🤧

Illegal immigrants are beside the point. ICE is establishing the precedent that they can pick up anyone at any time, you included. That is what the secret police do, like the KGB or the SS.
(Nothing that ICE does indicates that it is NOT a kidnapping.)

I just checked. Nobody officially asked for a recount in Tennessee's 7th congressional district.
A recount should happen automatically when an anomaly as large as this occurs. If the form 1040 that I included with my tax returns had inconsistencies this weird I would be really worried.

I appreciate the correction. Yes, I appreciate how career military feel about getting kicked out. In a sane world they would be asked back, with apologies, when the current clown show is finally over.
Anyone with the courage to stand up for the Constitution instead of safety has my total respect.

It's hard for all of us. I know that it's hard for me to own up to the stupid or wrong things that I do. But I can accept, grudgingly, that I have real flaws, and I know that I'll survive owning up to them. Only fragile people can't admit that their character is stained.

Ironically he is right about the 2024 election. There are a growing number of unusual results in precincts that just happen to be in swing states. And, amazingly, they all seem to swing in Trump's favor. The voting machines and the aggregating servers seem to think that they are registered voters.

I guess those tens of trillions of dollars that we spent on our military to protect us from Russia was just a stupid waste of money.

My chances of guessing the outcome of a coin flip our 50-50.
But with 10,000 coin flips I would be almost certain that between 4,000 and 6,000 would be heads.
Just think how easy it would be to predict the outcome of 360 million! That is the approximate population of the USA.

I doubt that Trump has done a single thing in his Presidency without first identifying an angle that helps him personally.
He is loyal ONLY to himself alone.

Farmers are in the same bind as the rest of us. It is very hard to survive without damaging the environment. How many appliances, TVs, computers, cars, and clothes have you essentially tossed in the last five years? They don't just disappear and most don't biodegrade.

Yup. It's no fun to take a hard honest look at oneself.
