Might I humbly suggest that we are bone picking here?? There is really nothing to debate on as to who will be the next President - it will be Biden or Trump. That said I believe it to be an opportunity never seen in any previous election in our lifetime. We really don't have to wait and see all the political lies or promises made between now and November as in a usual elections. There is really nothing either man can say that will really sway anyone at this point IMO. We have all already lived though a Trump administration and now a Biden administration. When we as voters actually can vote on both Presidential candidates already knowing what they are gonna do based on their record - not their rhetoric is like a unicorn landing in my living room. One of the biggest factors for me and not a huge topic (save Nikki Haley) which I believe can sway voters is they know a vote for Biden could actually land Kamala Harris running the Oval Office. That thought alone should be scary enough for anyone to vote for literally anyone else. Sparcky - I detest K Harris so bad I would draft Justin Trudeau over her and don’t think much of him either
good point, I do believe that given both Trump and Bidens age this election probably places more importance on who the Vice Presidential candidate is than any other election in my lifetime, and frankly I think Trump would be very hard pressed to pick anyone less qualified or more frightening that Kamala aka Cabal toe, Harris

Display MoreI agree with your points to a degree...
1. In Russia or Cuba I believe they would not just ostracize the Donald, they would jail him and somehow he would get poisoned..
2. Are you willing to really fight for Donald going to jail. (I know there will be a thought regarding a principal, but would you actually risk your life or your family's life for that principal) A civil war would decimate what little America we have left and personally I do not believe most people will not want to take up arms against their neighbors for that cause. If we all just take a moment to stop watching the media, and listening to the Donald or Grandpa and all the explainers, experts, influencers we would all be better for it.
3. As was stated, if the Donald would just stop with the constant meaningless BS not nearly as many people would be disgusted by him. I know some will say, that is no reason not to vote for him... but to a lot of people that is the only reason not to vote for him. As has been said many times, peoples dislike for the Donald has created the "I'm not voting for Biden, I am voting against Trump." There is a large difference between being woke and being civil.. Most of the Donalds problems are directly related to him and his ego's insatiable desire to promote "him" not his ideology as the best thing since sliced bread.
4. The Donald was actually found Civilly guilty by a jury of sexual abuse and forcible touching in the E. Gene Carrol case, and he counter sued her for defamation after she said he raped her after the trial..
Verdict and aftermath (January 2024–present)The jury found Trump had committed sexual abuse and forcible touching, two of the three elements of Carroll's battery claim. Trump said he would appeal.
By responding "no" to the question of whether Carroll proved Trump raped her, the jurors indicated they weren't convinced Trump penetrated Carroll with his penis, according to Kaplan, who first wrote about the issue in July when he denied Trump a new trial in the sexual abuse case.
But the jurors' conclusion that Trump sexually abused Carroll "necessarily implies" that they did, in fact, believe he penetrated her with his fingers, Kaplan said. Of course he is appealing.
As I said, I do agree with a bunch of what you said and do believe there is media persecution going on.
Just a couple of cents... and no more...
first of all, I wouldn't be fighting "for Donald" I would be fighting for the liberty and freedom that I was raised to believe this country stood for - something that seems to be quickly slipping away - - Donald is simply a victim of the corruption as are you and I
also I agree that Donalds big mouth is a huge part of his problem, but freedom of speech is supposed to protect the speech we dont want to hear and at this point in time it seems our media and government want to do the exact opposite and regulate what speech is allowed and proper - - - and remember if they can salience the Donald you and I will be next - - do you want to be jailed or have your life destroyed because you wont call a person with a dick a woman? - - thats where we seem to be headed, a world where feelings of an individual matter more than logic and reason - -
seriously if you are okay with Donald being targeted then in my view you lose any right to complain when they target you

Installed a drawer on work bench today for some of my lesser used knives - still have a bunch on my dresser, but at least its a bit more managable now

Personally I think I am most bothered by how the left has used the media and the courts to go after Trump - - reminds me of what I have grown up seeing Russia and the Soviet Union do to maintain their political control. Seriously, all my life when the political opposition to the established government in Russia or some other dictatorship was treated the way the left and the media here are now going after Trump we were always told how it was this horrible thing that could never happen in America - - and now here I am closing in on 70 years old watching it happen right here at home. And just like huge numbers of the people believed it when its been done in other countries I see a huge number of people here who seem willing to believe what seems so clearly to be pure bull shit - - - Think about this a political opponet to the establishment being fined huge amounts for victimless crimes and being hit with endless gag orders every time he wants to speak out about those who are doing those things to him - - sounds like its right out of some story from Russia or Cuba - - take away your opponents money and silence them, and if that doesnt work lock them up in prison - - and truly fear what will happen if they actually take that last step and try to jail mr Trump - - - - WAR! full blown civil war. I dont think the people of this country would do anything less
seriously we live in a country where they let killers and thieves walk free in our court system as it currently is yet they want to jail or ruin a political opponent for not giving the right property values when getting a loan, a loan that he fully paid back - - - have you ever even heard of someone, anyone being tried for something like this? And now it's suddenly a huge crime when it's the primary political opponent to the establishment? - - if the doesn't raise red flags then how about fining someone for defamation when they call their accuser a lier when they accuse them of a rape - that he has never been convicted of? personally I think publicly telling people someone is a rapist is defamation unless they have actually been convicted yet the political opponent to the establishment is being gagged from saying its not true and then finned huge amounts - - - I dont care how much you might hate this man, this is just wrong, its third world dictatorship bull shit and if they are not careful it going start a war - a real war - too many of us old-timers were taught this was never acceptable and its in our DNA to do whatever it takes to make sure America does not go down this rabbit hole

Display Moreyou are not wrong. I can say though, in Canada, we have many fringe parties, but 3 main ones. Three main are Liberals=Democrats, Conseratives=Republicans, NDP (New Democrat Party) = Far left Democrats (even closer to Socialism that the Liberals).
Liberals and Conservatives rule the elections, with the NDP typically coming in 3rd, but then aligning and making deals with the Libs to force agenda.
I can't see the NDP gaining enough to win a Federal election themselves. BUT, back in 1990, when people in Ontario were fed up with Cons and Libs, they voted NDP in as the provincial government. What a mess. Based on that, I can pretty much say with certainty, that will not happen again. Back to flip flopping between Libs and Cons.
A 3rd party on the far fringes of either of the ruling parties left or right, just wouldn't make it, 3rd party that is moderate/centrist might have a chance, but they have to convince the masses that they are the proper choice.
unfortunately as things currently are the democrats and Republicans have so much power that they literally will no allow a moderate centrist party to exist - they wont allow them on the ballots in the States and they wont even let them on the debate stage - seriously, this cycle we had the so called "No Labels" party come along and say they were going to field centrist candidates that would be moderate and "for the people" and now they have been totally shut out and have announced they wont field any candidates - - - the two Parties literally own the process in this country to the point that under the law they can field candidates that dont even win the primaries if they were to choose to do so. - - Actually love him or hate him Trump is possibly the only exception, I honestly think the Republican Party would choose someone else if they thought they could get away with it - - - like it or not Trump is the only candidate that has actually been chosen by the people and it drives the Republican and Democrat establishment nuts!!

Funny thing about this....And I have seen it discussed many times here.
Likely many of the "Biden supporters" are not actually "supporters", but just "anti Trumpers", being directed to what they perceive as the only option besides Trump. I have read many articles on Reps confused because they don't want to vote for Biden, but they don't want to vote for Trump.
And they are not going to vote Lib (sorry Edward Neal )
Moderates/independents are going to be the key to this election. When the balance of power swings too far left or right, its the moderates and independents that control the vote.
unfortunately in this country the two parties have such a lock on the system that you either vote for one of the two options they give us, or you stay home and dont vote - - or possibly do something that is purly symbolic and vote for someone who has no real chance of actually even getting a meaningful number of votes - - - the two party system and their total lock on our system has made the idea of being independent meaningless - in this election you either vote Trump or Biden or accept that your vote is not going to actually count - - - God knows I wish this were not actually true, as a Libertarian I would love an option that actually stood a chance, but I dont have one and it sucks

Did our taxes today - Think its stupid that the federal gov will tax Social Security and very happy that California does not
I think Social Security should never be subject to income taxation
although, for the first time we are actually getting money sent to us from the State, only $45, but WTF

Just cause your on a diet don’t mean you can’t read the menu
I never said I didnt enjoy the view

even if I were to block someone it wouldn't last, I always end up removing any blocks eventually - even with BigDog who drove me nuts to the point of blocking him I eventually un-blocked him - - and then he was gone
no point in staying upset with people even if they say things that I think are crazy - - eventually I try my best to let love prevail

Not to mention the gorgeous Filipino women to look at
I already got me one of those

I actually talked to an old forum member recently some may remember ( Travis ) who currently resides in a beautiful mountain home in Colorado. He is trying to put the pieces together to move to Tennessee - he said all the gun laws they want to pass (his bride calls him Rambo 😂) in addition to the whole state going to liberal for him he has had enough. Looks like this may be the answer - if your liberal - go be with your kind - if you conservative same thing !!
the problem with packing up and moving to a different State to try to get away from the liberal insanity is that you will still be under the same federal craziness and the way this country is going it seems like moving to a different State would only be putting off the inevitable. Seriously my wife and I have also talked about getting away to someplace where conservative values still stand solidly, but it our case if we make such a move it will be to the Philippines - not only do they have incredibly strong conservative moral and family values, but our retirement savings and social security would allow us to live like kings over there. Seriously over there I can get a house built for 20k that would cost north of 600k over here and with the exchange rate my $20 becomes 1000 Philippine dollars and goes much much further with its purchasing power than it does here - - and virtually every Filipino speaks and understnds english so I can easily get by without having to learn some new language

HMMM. how about comparing the Dems with Nazis in general. Stupid statement..... which is all I have to say.
Anyone that can't see the difference, is part of the issue.
Don't forget about Trump courting Fuentes last year at dinner. White nationism, christian nationalism, is part of the right side of the spectrum.
well, if they support he same things then why is it not a valid comparison if only on those issues? - - no one said they were like the Nazi party in everything, the post only pointed out they support the same issues
and apparently you cant or wont say they don't
-
you just won stupidest post of the year so far.
so what part do you think in incorrect in his post? - - Seriously Sparcky, do you not think the Democrat Party is anti white and anti Jew these days? as much as I hate to compare anyone or any group to the Nazis I have to admit that the right side of that picture with its bullet points about the democrat party seems to be 100% correct these days, so please tell us what parts you disagree with so that we can talk about them instead of hiding behind calling it stupid and running away.
Democrats - pro Socialisim, anti Gun, Pro media control to control us, pro abortion, and want to put government above the people - - - what parts wrong Sparcky?

Got my self the real Gibbs rule 9 knife - Zero Torrance 0350 - in the NCIS show this is the knife that Gibbs carries although he has the version with the blade coated in stripes, but I like the solid black better. Got to say I am very impressed with the build quality of this knife, as they say - built like a tank

And this man claims to be a devout Catholic - https://www.foxnews.com/politi…-visibility-easter-sunday
the church needs to excommunicate this ass NOW! and if any person who considers themself to be a Christian could actually vote for this man they should also be excommunicated
Biden just threw every Christian in this country under the bus just so he can pander to the mentally ill for a few votes

I can actually agree that there are some people in this world that the idea of them having a gun frightens me, but what I find even more frightening is the idea that the government wants to be allowed to determine who these people are. Seriously, what would be the determining factors? I would bet that virtually every democrat politician would think simply being a conservative would be cause to take away my guns.
just about the last people on this planet I would ever trust to make sound and reasonable decisions about anything important would be the politicians - - they can (and do) screw up pretty much anything they touch
