This discussion is about Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, but if you want to take a crack on Biden's work ethic as compared to Trump's, then you should probably consider Trump's obsession with playing golf 24/7.

Jesus, you people are really dim.

Just calling out your hypocrisy.

So if we can just step back, take a deep breath, and realize that Trump (aka President Huff & Puff) is the first dictator in US history; then let me ask you this...when he dies who stops in? 

Vance? Don Jr, Eric, Baron?

Spoiler

I think it is Ivanka

Who the fuck are you arguing with? You'd be hard pressed to find someone here who still believes Joe shouldn't have pulled out of his re-election bid earlier, but he was clearly capable at thr start of his term.

Regardless, Biden's capabilities has fuckall to do with Trump being a morally bankrupt dipshit, who will almost certainly be in worse mental condition than Biden before his term is up. He also hires people who are horribly incompetent, at best, and downright evil, at worst.

Careful. You're going to get him started on Hillary's private email account.

I mean, if the Constitution is still a thing, it's Vance.  And even if it's not, it's Vance.

Well, I think  you can see the flaw in your logic.... we are quickly breaking the 3 branches off government model, and ignoring the constitution. But maybe that's just my impression of what's going on.

I'm on a cable news diet.  Can you summarize?  Because I need some positive news.

I am too, but we had been recording her show and I decided to watch the latest.
 

Pitzker speech was her lead, he was good.

Polling is declining for him, over 90% of Americans don’t trust Putin, Trump does. That will impact him.

Some republicans are starting speak out - focused on Ukraine push back, people are protesting, and news papers all over the country including in rural-ish areas are blasting Trump based on headlines she showed.

No hypocrisy whatsoever.  I'm talking about Donald Trump and his attempt at a coup.  Joe Biden did not attempt a coup.  Try to keep up, MAGA.

I won’t sit here and argue with you like Trump is an angel sent from heaven and is a morally unflawed person. 
Yet your claim of him having someone “pulling his strings” after the former sitting president had an obviously failing cognitive ability and was baby sat for the better part of his term is funny to me. 
I made a singular point on a singular subject. Stop jumping around.

No flaw, just a recognition that even if the Constitution continues to be pissed on, the powers-that-be who got Trump to nominate Vance as his running mate will still see to it that he ascends to president if Trump does not serve his full term.  I don't think they give a shit about Trump's piece of shit kids.

Don’t do that to yourself. They’re “concerned.” Nothing more. Hope is gonna drive you crazy. All that’s left to do is watch the train wreck and figure out how to make it through to the other side a couple decades from now.

I can't get over the fact that Trump seems to be pulling this off given his obviously limited intellect, which is likely compromised further by age.  I guess I always thought dictators were evil geniuses, but in reality it seems far more important for them to be able to garner the blind support of a significant fraction of the people and weaponize their fears.  That doesn't take smarts per se, it takes audacity and "charisma" (for lack of a better word). 

Musk is no dummy, but is as much of an opportunist as he is a crafty thinker.  He seems to be Trump's Hermann Göring.  All dictators need a right hand man who will actually do the work.  Here we are.  

Yup, musk is leading all the actual work. Trump just gets in front of the camera. Everyone wins except Americans

I actually fuel my preparedness with hope. I protect myself from trauma with strategy and action. As a trans woman that has out kicked my coverage in every aspect of my life and then some…. I think I’ll stick to my innate methods that have served me well. 
 

that’s not to say I expect republicans to just turn on Trump. I think we are in a devastating trap of populace having brain worms and the oligarchs can money whip if needed any elected official. But if there is a way to break this, it will be because Trump goes too far beyond his support. If 5% break ranks on him and 5% more show up at the polls he’s toast…. If we have elections…

Thanks.  Text group I'm in was discussing Pitzker this a.m.  Now I know why.  As for the rest, it all seems reasonable.  As the Zen Master said, "We'll see."

Great info source there, homeshank.  All presidents have staffs that assist them.  

Ironic that you would talk about a 30 hour work week when your orange god has spent 29% of his second term on the golf course. https://trumpgolftrack.com/

Better golfing then napping. All the meanwhile doing exactly what he said he would do. Clear up the gender fiasco, begin to secure the southern border, expose government misappropriation of funds. Not saying I agree with any one thing more than the other but he’s done what his voters elected him for.

Exactly how is he clearing up the "gender fiasco,"  and what is it exactly?

What government "misappropriation of funds" are you talking about?

And what has he done to secure the southern border?

How about inflation and the price of gas?

As someone way down the potential state’s enemies list, I should be more sanguine about my personal situation. I just can’t be. My hope is I slowly get numb to it all. My children are still young and I need to keep myself going for them. Kudos to you for keeping your chin up.

Wow, eggs must be heavily weighted in the CPI calculation.  It was @ 2.4% in September and is currently @ 3.0%.  Damn the luck.

I thought the economy was the main thing his voters elected him for.

But in any case, fair enough. A certain percentage of his voters have to turn against him for much to happen.

That’s funny. We are prepared to stay in Texas for 3 years but know our signals, we’ve been preparing for loss of proper identification - avoid government interactions, how I would drive less or not at all, avoid police interaction, possibly move my residency, then researching states and countries to move too, making moves for early retirement, and all the while and this is probably THE most important …. My friends tell me I have a magical ability to “alchemize” events and circumstances from the negative to the positive so the problems I face become challenges not to overcome but opportunities to triumph. If I’m forced to leave we will live twice as legendary as if we stay. I don’t know how I do it, I just don’t have the innate ability to suffer the plight of a victim, and while there is some ableism in that statement even when I was severely sick, I worked my ass of to triumph through it. I guess the “what if?” line of questioning always leads me to opportunity. They circle the firing squad so to speak on me and my people, what if we went on an adventure? Instead of OMFG we are going to have to flee. And then I just ignore the negative what if’s… I do not think about what if I had more time to think about ordinary things, what if I was cisgender and could run for office, what if I was still a guy, how much money have I lost because I’m not a dude…. What if I get tossed in a men’s jail cell. Those thoughts are not ones I entertain. Instead what if we live on in the mountains of Mexico and wake up to the vibrant cool air, the slow pace of life and without the American soulless social media and for profit industry for everything bearing down on us? I could go on and on. There is a winning mindset in times like these. I lucked into it about the age of 5 in a train wreck or a family of origin. How I chose adaptive behaviors instead of maladaptive behaviors at such a young age? I don’t know, maybe Jesus really does love me.

Yet he fired the people trying to address that as a "misappropriation of funds".

But Trump made the price of eggs a big thing during the election, so seems reasonable enough to bitch about it.

I guess we just needed a politician to make autocratic decrees to solve all problems. Ultimately we will see how this issue gets resolved. I don't think it is solved at this point though.

As for Biden, well I am generally against having major political leaders over 70. Call me ageist but I feel like this is a job for the middle aged. But I never voted for Biden except when he was going up against other 70 year olds.
