F'd up, isn't it.

The answer is a long one in terms of how we got to 2016... but..... How did we go all light speed the past couple years..... The dems refusal to accept the 2016 election.

He recently tweeted that VP Pence is a “Decent guy” or something to that effect. Then the chick from “Sex and the City” who ran for mayor of NYC responded to him that Pence is not decent b/c he’s morally against LGBT rights or against gay marriage. To which Biden responded “you’re right! He’s not a decent guy”. That’s politics in a nutshell today.

Yep. Pretty much.

Rational substantive discussion. Pretty sure he's the only real person running for president.

Buttigieg seemed like a nice guy that I just disagreed with on everything until the past couple days. Couldnt stand against abortion at all and has started playing the gay victim card which....is really just sad.

Mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg announced his candidacy for the Demo nomination. Adding to the already crowded list of candidates wanting the parties nomination. Seems to me the Dems can't agree on the direction of the party with so many wanting to be prez.

I knew there were a lot, but I didn't realize there were this many. This is more than the Rs ran in 2016. Also, I am unable to name all of them, and I tend to follow this stuff.

Twenty three. If the Dems are really "about the people" and inclusive of everyone like they say, will they cut any of the candidates out of the debates?

The whole thing they got going now with letting child molesters and terrorists vote is very much what we have come to expect from them

I assume you’re referring to this:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Socialist Bernie Sanders says he would let the Boston Marathon Bomber — who killed 3 people and injured 280 others — vote in U.S. elections from inside prison.<br><br>Sanders says he also supports letting sex predators and murderers vote from inside prison. <a href="https://t.co/aFTeKOPe6G">pic.twitter.com/aFTeKOPe6G</a></p>— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1120499225442299904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

There is so much to unpack here, but bottom line is that the idea that “more people voting is a good thing” is inherently flawed. If you were talking about decision making for anything else... a charitable organization, a company, an HOA, a sports team, whatever... and Scenario A is NOT letting rapists/terrorists have a say in what your organization does and Scenario B is empowering those people, anyone with half a brain would choose Scenario A. If your solution to fixing this country is to give more power to people who couldn’t pass a background check at McDonalds then you lack the basic cognitive ability to be President.

Will Biden even run? Seems like opposition research (from his own side) has him scared to pull the trigger.

Puppetmaster Soros loves some Mayor Pete.

Biden will wait to the last minute if I had to bet
I think he was trying to avoid the early bullets, but someone got tired of waiting and shot anyway. he's letting things die down IMO.

I love how Bernie talked for a couple of minutes before answering.

Q: Bernie, what kind of car do you drive?

Bernie: Well you know there are a lot of automobiles built in this country. Some have great gas mileage, some have great technology. We must not lose sight that we need to ensure our automotive industry stays strong and continue to build cars that have little impact on our environment. More to your point, I get chauffeured around in my stretch limo.

Preempting a MSNBC Breaking News report?



The guy that wrote this:

Sounds like a candidate for Secretary of Homeland Security.

So the trend now with the left is for the men to commit to a female running mate. Booker did so today, and is like the 3rd to imply as such IIRC.

I'm ready for someone to up that ante and say, well my running mate will be this color, or this sexual preference, etc.. Perhaps Pocahontas will chose a bisexual transgender multiracial x-con who believes in both Christianity and Islam, and check all the boxes.

If they were real progressives they would drop out and endorse a woman. They wont....but they should.

if they were real progressives, they'd just hand the country over to Central America now, and nominate a Salvadorean illegal immigrant woman.

Biden officially in. I would be very happy with Biden or Buttigieg.

Warren, Bernie, and Harris will not get my vote under any circumstance. Warren's racial fraud is a non-starter for me, Bernie's socialism is unpalatable, and Harris' support of Jussie Smollett is exactly the kind of incendiary nonsense that is ruining this society.

I wouldn't freak out with Biden. He's about the only one on the left I could stomach.

On another topic, did you see Berndog get heckled at the She The People forum?
Wonder if Biden goes to one of them? They'd roast him worse than Bern. So much nonsense.
