It would be another delay, which is their game plan.

Indeed. The system is set up to elect him, despite him promising a bloodbath if he loses. It's almost a perfect storm, much like 2016. Back then Hilary was the problematic opposition. Now it's Biden.Lupine wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 9:19 pmI know it's crazy, but this is where we're at now.RJDiogenes wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:36 pmI find it hard to give that much credit. He lost by three million votes the first time (six if you count the Green Party) and nine million votes after wearing people out with four years of insanity. And that was before he tried to overthrow the government.
Part of me sees the great American experiment coming to an end after 250 years of existence. Another hopeful part of me realizes that a lot can happen between now and November. Somehow, maybe we'll dodge the bullet.
Also, as if we didn't already know this, Elon Musk has become more radicalized toward the right wing.

Don Lemon versus Elon Musk. Kind of like a Creationist debating a Flat Earther.

Yet millions love him because they associate wealth with wisdom. It's so sad

Of course, the real problem with Elon Musk is that his company is the leader in the civilian space industry. His continuing marble loss could injure America's leadership in space. I wonder if NASA and the Space Force are thinking about that.

And apparently the US isn't the only country going off the rails. The satirical site The Juice Media in Australia was literally threatened with a fine or even jail time for merely showing an image of the Liberal Premier of Tasmania in one of their videos. Luckily they were able to reload the video after replacing the guy with a potato.

Good to know that there are no viable alternatives anywhere on the planet.

It's amazing that small, immature children are running our government. A generation ago, I thought it was bad enough that incompetent adults were running the show. It's gotten much worseGary wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 11:32 amSHOCK MOMENT: Jared Moskowitz Outright Dares James Comer To Initiate Impeachment Vote Against Biden

It's like we're in a speeding car with no breaks. Our choices are either hitting the tree or the concrete barrier.
Re: 2024 Politics: It's Deja Vu All Over Again
We'd be better off in a car with brakes!

I don't think we're getting any of either.
