All this Biden-bashing makes this Joe guy want to puke. Give him another year and then start thinking about '24. At the very least, give him until the '22 midterms, and then let's see what kind of bananas the talley man tallies. <br /><br />Joe is, and always has been, a left-of-center moderate or a liberal, depending on whose definitions you're listening to. And just WHO is waiting in the wings, in case the consensus is that Joe shouldn't run, or in case he decides NOT to run? Warren? Pete? Kamala? Some nobody we haven't even heard of yet? Bernie? AOC? Gimme a break! <br /><br />Those last two mentions were just throw-away snarks. They'd be catastrophic. If either of them somehow got the nod, Agolf Twitler...AKA Donaldo Trumpolini, AKA Il Douche...wouldn't need to run. He could walk back to the Oval Orifice. Or waddle. He's already been the worst President ever. If he regains the throne, he'll be the last one.<br /><br />Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-91901719344594902822021-12-15T13:55:59.015-06:002021-12-15T13:55:59.015-06:00I'm not sure why you are lecturing me, and why...I'm not sure why you are lecturing me, and why you are assuming that beliefs I didn't share are wrong - Where I come from that's called a logical fallacy.

Is. Trump is still the greater threat, still working to overthrow our system of government, still a mesmerist who convinces people to believe in outright fantasies, still capable of turning our democracy into a fascist personality cult. He is the greatest conman in American history, a festering script of mental and emotional illness, a toxic narcissist with a bizarre inferiority complex, a man capable of destroying anyone and anything to be able to look in a mirror and see the fairest of them all.<br /><br />I thought the Founders put enough fail safe mechanisms in the Constitution to protect our Republic for all time. They didn't count on someone as malevolent and damaged as Trump.<br /><br />Historians won't define the Trump era. Psychologists willDennis Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936110563379328219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-86148931771914032862021-12-15T08:23:18.856-06:002021-12-15T08:23:18.856-06:00Mr. S your column is spot on: frightening but true...Mr. S your column is spot on: frightening but true.<br /><br />Good points, FME.privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413982311699012802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-58430512772223962852021-12-15T04:45:06.562-06:002021-12-15T04:45:06.562-06:00While the grump and his minions remain a threat in...While the grump and his minions remain a threat in our country I'd like to believe that we've proven that our democracy functions properly and that we voted his ass out. <br /><br />This gives me some faith that we won't allow him to be elected again.<br /><br />Were going to be stuck with his supreme Court nominations for some time but this is more a failing on the part of the Democrats than some great accomplishment by the orange one. <br /><br />Liberals and progressives need to be active participants in our Democratic process or we'll only have ourselves to blame if the Republicans regain power in the midterms or regain the presidency in 2024.<br /><br />There is certainly going to need to be a better candidate than Biden to make that happen.<br /><br />Any suggestions on who that might be? <br /><br />While I'm glad he was elected it certainly wasn't on the strength of his policies and effectiveness.<br /><br />He is after all responsible for things like the Patriot act and the failed war on terror which in my opinion is the greater threat to our liberties than Trump ever was.<br /><br />The Democrats need to figure out who's going to lead this party and hopefully it's someone that appeals to more than just progressives.<br /><br />I've no idea who that might be and a second run by Joe is bound to be unappealing to the majority of Americans.and could result in someone worse than thrump FMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829632906445535928noreply@blogger.com
