Maybe he can pardon my tax bill.   ::)
That would prove how unpatriotic both of you are.
Worth repeating:
Your recreational ignorance is showing again.

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.
Well, the polls are in for Biden's selection decision for Supreme Court justice.  Non-whites disapprove at 72% of Biden only considering black women. So now we're going to screw up the Supreme Court as if it's not already screwed up enough.  When we're trying to put racial issues behind us, we're going to nominate officials for the highest court in the land based on race and gender.  So now, even if they put in a genius judge, everyone's going to say, well they got in because of their color and gender.  All that will do is diminish trust of the court and make it more political than it seems to be now.  What foolishness.

The poll also reflects his negative ratings as follows:
Inflation: Negative 69%
Economy negative 76%
Gun violence negative 69%
Crime negative 64%
Immigration negative 64%
Russia/Ukraine negative 56%
Economic recovery negative 56%
Pandemic is split 50% psiitive and 49% negative

Majority of Americans want Biden to consider 'all possible nominees' for Supreme Court vacancy: POLL
During the spring 2020 presidential primaries, days before his set of big wins on Super Tuesday, Biden pledged to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, if elected. Now, with the chance to do so, just over three-quarters of Americans (76%) want Biden to consider "all possible nominees." Just 23% want him to automatically follow through on his history-making commitment that the White House seems keen on seeing through.

Although the poll's sample size was not large enough to break out results for Black people, only a little more than 1 in 4 nonwhite Americans (28%) wish for Biden to consider only Black women for the vacancy. Democrats are more supportive of Biden's vow (46%) than Americans as a whole, but still a majority of Democrats (54%) also prefer that Biden consider all possible nominees.

For all those who laughed at Trump, North Korea has now abrogated its deal with Trump to avoid possible war at the time as a new challenge to the Biden administration.  Do you think Joe will visit Kim?

North Korea tests longest-range missile since 2017
The flight details suggest the North tested its longest-range ballistic missile since 2017, when it twice flew intermediate-range ballistic missiles over Japan and, separately, three intercontinental ballistic missiles that demonstrated the potential to reach deep into the American homeland.

He would, but only if Kim let's him build a golf course, the nicest anywhere.  I understand Kim gets all holes-in one.

Trump admits that he wanted Pence to "overturn the election" and he wants to pardon the rioters.
What kind of political system is it that it allows him to still to run loose and stir more trouble?  Compare that thug to Martha Stewart who was jailed for a minor offense of insider trading.

Quote
During the rally, Trump claimed that those who have been charged in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol are being "treated so unfairly," and stunningly suggested that some might deserve pardons. "If I run and if I win," Trump told the crowd of thousands, "we will treat those people from January 6 fairly ... And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons."

Quote
"Actually, what they are saying, is that Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away. Unfortunately, he didn't exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!" Trump wrote.

After six years, Trump still has your attention.  You read anti-Trump CNN political views when they refuse to talk about current stuff going on with Biden, who has been president for a year already and making a mess of it.   Who cares what Trump has to say?  Who cares what die-hard anti-Trump CNN has to say?  It's all a diversion of Biden's incompetency, the Fed, inflation, economy, Covid, crime, illegal immigration, Russia-Ukraine, prices,  etc.  They don't even want to discuss the 26 EV's GM has made compared to Tesla's million!  ;)  These are the important issues of the day.

Here's why CNN keeps wanting to talk about Trump.  They made billions off of him.  Now that he's gone, ironically helped by CNN, their ratings have tanked 90%.  They really want Trump back.

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings.

The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.

But on the one-year anniversary of the attacks, viewers flipped over to CNN’s right-wing rival, Fox News, which topped the ratings for coverage of the event.

I hate to bring this up, but that entire year of 2020 when Trump was making a fool of himself over Covid, which you defended, you would often bring up Biden because he was a front runner in the Presidential race. If I remember right, you tried to pin some Covid blame on him, even though Trump was the actual sitting Prez at the time and should have owned the failures, following your recent logic.

So now people are talking about Trump because he is trying to place himself in the front runner category for the GOP and is exerting visible pressure on various Congressional and Senatorial races, so why shouldn't people talk about him? And why does it bother you if they do?

Like I've said before, you should at least try to be consistent.

I don't hate to bring this up, but in 2022 (and the entire year of 2021 and before), Alan was making a fool of himself over Covid** and far more; he is being cconsistent.

First off, with politicians, no one's consistent. :)

My bringing up Biden in 2020 was because there was an election going on with Biden and Trump running against each other. These were the issues everyone was arguing about at the time.  But Trump lost, and Biden won.  Now the issues of the day and what the current president is doing about them are more important.  Sure, Trump might run again. But that's three years from now.  It's a diversion.  Certainly not worth the time CNN and MSNBC are spending on it.  They're fighting the last war because their customers are still stuck in the past with Trump.  Like an ex-wife who still pesters you.   You got to leave it alone.

Ah, the carpet pooper (and tea bagger) is back and again, without a photograph without our normal month to laugh off his last comments.
You've got to love the behaviour of someone who about once a month walks into the room, takes a dump on the carpet and departs, never to be seen again until next month.

There is so much you don't know Frans; start with photography.

His name is Saul Alinsky. If you want to understand how the Radical Left thinks and operates, you should read his book Rules for Radicals, like I did.
