No New Wars!

[DavidGee24]

What is it with people who pour over "political" crap that no normal person gives a shit about and has zero impact on their lives like dweebs who pour over baseball stats and then proudly act like they're all-knowing geniuses who know things that nobody else knows even though all of their data is SECOND-HAND and much of the time is based on things that their "sources" TOTALLY MADE UP? Those people live in a really dark place, just as dark as people who live their lives in complete misery just because the President Of The United States isn't the person who they voted for.

And yes, I'm talking about two specific people in this forum.

And again why, I look at the people he has around him. We get hung up on the personality but it's really the entire organization. You look at presidents getting elected, left or right they at least tend to install competent people to actually run things. Trump has a talk show host as his secretary of defense, he sends his son in law to negotiate with the Iranians.

I have my issues with Trump but I think that's what it really is. Whatever our disagreements might be, have the sense to have competent advisors and listen to them. That to me is where I think he's really fallen down on this thing.

Agreed.

As always, skipping the relevant part.... "Hegseth was a talk show host" - not defending the cabinet - but to suggest Hegseth doesn't have military military experience - to suggest he was pull;ed off the air ramdomly - you are either misinformed or intentionally omitting this fact in your never-ending drive to do your "OMG Trump!" routine.

SO, were you not aware of any of this or were you intentionally omitting it as part of your "I hate Trump" narrative? The 'OMG he was a talk show host! is LITERALLY the narrative from the left and the whackadoodles at CNN.

Which is it? Are you ignorant, or intentionally misleading?

I am not defending the pick - I do not know the quality of his candidacy - I just love to point out people being completely full of shit while being completely unaware of the truth

"The internet is 90% videos of Kamala word salad and her total inability to string together a coherent sentence - she is literally the worst candidate in then history of American politics - she's so bad she made 'hitler' the more desirable candidate."

There is not one post from you validating her with her background and qualifications. Not one.

I mean... when you go back and read your post to Donn... do you just not reflect at all?

Clear something up for me here...are you arguing against Aurora, or with him? I mean, this IS the presentation that she made of herself and even a lot of Democrat voters were like Sweet Jesus (facepalm).

As for her qualifications, she was the Attorney General of California, a Senator from California, and you have to good at what you do to at least make it to those two positions. There's obviously something she brought to the table there, just like there was something Biden brought to the table to be a member of Congress for as long as he was.

Unfortunately, that's where she hit the wall, and hit it REALLY hard. As Vice President she was viewed very unfavorably and not just by conservatives, and then in her presidential campaign she was badly exposed despite Trump being the way he is, a guy who'd been voted out of office, and he even handed her a total freebie in their debate.

Now, you can say that she lost only because America is racist and sexist, but we all know that you just don't know any better so we'll disregard that in advance. She made her presentation of herself and this is what Americans got out of it. That's on her and nobody else.
