Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[Alan Klein]

You mean like when they tossed Trump out. 

Sure.  Same thing.

You mean like when they tossed Trump out. 

As I see it, the election results were dangerously close. One small gaffe by Biden, riot or a geopolitical calamity and Trump could have squeezed in.

When you consider how much the biased press supported Biden, he should have won by a lot more. They protected him.  A year in office, and you can see just how pitiful he is.  Unfortunately, we have him or the VP, if he leaves, for another three years.  She's even less capable.

Biden's 4.5-point victory margin is the second largest since 2000. Biden's margin of 7 million popular votes over Trump doesn't appear dangerously close to me. Not that more votes means a lot to some sadly.

When you consider how much the biased press supported Biden, ...

You mean the way they reported all the dumb shit that Trump said, yeah, I guess you're right.

...Unfortunately, we have him or the VP, if he leaves, for another three years.  She's even less capable.

On what basis are you making that assumption about her? 

[Peter McLennan]

The voters understand.

They THINK they understand.  That doesn't mean that they're correct.

See the recently posted video of John Cleese: The trouble with stupid people is that they don't know they're stupid and can't be convinced that they are.

So they keep on being stupid.

With Biden, they protected his mental acuity and age issues.  They never went after his son as they went after Trump's kids.  Hunter sold his father's political position even using the VP government plane to do business with foreign powers like China.

Regarding Harris, I've watched her performance over the last year. Pathetic.  She has no executive capability.  She can't get things done.  She's inexperienced.  She's a nervous twit, unserious.   It's why she did so badly during the nomination debates. Biden picked her for VP and the next Supreme Court justice based on their race and gender. Divisive identity politics; the race card.  It's not the way to run a country or anything else for that matter.

[Peter McLennan]

When you consider how much the biased press supported Biden...

The entire press of most of the world supported Biden.  Not because he was a superb leader, but because he wasn't Trump.

BTW, when most of the world shares the same opinion about Trump, that doesn't indicate bias, it indicates veracity.

Hillary lost the election calling those people "deplorables".  You're making it easy for Republicans with those kinds of comments.

People are not stupid.  They know who to blame for more crime and more inflation and higher prices.  Even Democrats are giving Biden bad marks.  That's why he's down to 40% positive that he can handle the job.

Trump didn't kiss a$$ like Obama did who wanted to be loved rather than lead. Trump made NATO countries pay more for defense.  Of course, they didn't like him.  He canceled NAFTA and renegotiated it making it worse for you and Canada.  So of course you don't like him.  But he works for Americans, not Canadians.  (Nothing personal.  It's his job.) Our allies want American leaders to pay for everything so they don't have to.  Trump was having none of it.

For goodness sake, stop pi$$ing into the wind, all of you!

For goodness sake, this is a site for photographers, not those who's claim to fame is a self published fictional book on politics and can't show all of us he has ever taken a photograph.
Pissing in the wind and photography, something you are unable to produce:

Yes, honesty; something you often lack here.

[Peter McLennan]

Sorry, but all evidence points to the opposite.

"The entire press of most of the world" includes many countries not in NATO.  If you think people only dislike Trump because he made NATO members pay more (he didn't), you're grasping at increasingly thin straws.  Your recreational ignorance is showing again.

People hate Trump because he is a sociopath, a liar and a grifter who has divided America when his job was to unite it. 

These are not opinions, these are demonstrable facts.

He's also an idiot, but that is an opinion.

I wish people would quit taking a dump on the carpet and sneaking out the door.

It's more of a profession.
Like Trump....

He's also an idiot, but that is an opinion.

Trump seems to be floating the idea of a pardon for Jan 6th insurrectionists/terrorists, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/29/trump-jan6-protesters/. I suppose I should have seen this coming.

Ouch!!!

Maybe he can pardon my tax bill.
