C H is contending that the public has the right to know a candidate's health. I'm saying, be careful what you ask for, because you just may get it. And you may not like it when it's your guy getting it. And you really need to watch more right wing stuff if you want to be up on the latest spoiler alerts. We used to call them conspiracy theories, until so many have come true.

Only if Biden agrees to submit a urine sample for public examination. Fair is fair...

Are you saying that To know, know, know her isn't to love, love, love her? S Carolina primary will be interesting, especially how the media spins it.

I'm just saying that there's a huge political price to pay for declaring martial law. Looking at FBI crime statistics, it's a sad fact that cracking down on crime necessitates arresting a lot of the "protected classes", and the MSM isn't going to let that pass without screaming about racial injustice. When Trump tried to send in the Guard for the BLM riots, I first thought it was over reach. But that's because I only saw the MSM, showing only the peaceful parts. It took awhile for the right wing media to show the not-so-peaceful places where entire city blocks were demolished. I later came around to question why Trump hadn't acted more forcefully. But the answer was in the media coverage.

Is that evidence of cognitive decline, or of exhaustion from being pulled in 91 different directions by partisan legal attempts to keep him off the campaign trail. Frankly, I'm surprised the guy hasn't vapor locked already. Proving he's tough enough to be the leader of the free world, whether you agree with his policies or not. Compare that to the current leader who has to be led away from the podium for a nap after each incoherent rant. There's a reason war is breaking out all over the world. US weakness.

She'd be an idiot to drop out. IMO, DeSantis was wrong to drop out. The only way either could win is if Trump gets taken out by legal attacks. Haley may be the "last man standing" if Trump's legal problems force him out, which is looking about 50:50 (that's just my guess). But I think DeSantis would easily close the gap with her if Trump voters couldn't vote for Trump. They'd migrate preferentially to Ron D. BTW, regarding Haley, I'm with Rand Paul. (Anyone, but not Haley). She's the Repub choice of globalists and war mongers everywhere. Not saying I'm sure she's a war monger, but her history sure points in that direction. And definitely not an "America first" politician.

Those retirees seem to be bringing quite a few jobs with them. Florida gained 240,600 jobs (2.5%) since December 2022. https://www.floridajobs.org/workforce-statistics/workforce-statistics-data-releases/latest-statistics Lots of those jobs seem to be coming from New York refugees... https://moneywise.com/employment/florida-overtakes-new-york-in-job-numbers

I remember when the Bad Orange Man tried to do just that during the Summer of Love (and mostly peaceful block burning riots). You'd have sworn he tried to re-implement slavery based on the backlash from the BLM hucksters and their fans. So entire city blocks burned.

Tampa votes blue. Law enforcement and public safety are largely under the remit of local policies. Need I say more? https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/florida/

California also used to be. Now, U-Haul can't keep enough rolling stock in California.

I guess that explains Idaho... Have you ever been to Idaho in the winter? Things must be pretty bad in the blue states for someone to move to Idaho.

Vivek actually predicted it. He claimed that the objective was to eliminate all contenders aside from Trump and their preferred candidate, then double down on the legal attacks against Trump so their preferred candidate would be the one. I think DeSantis made a mistake here. If (when?) Trump gets taken out, his voters would be a lot more likely to migrate to DeSantis than to Haley. So being in 3rd place, down just a couple of points, didn't mean a loss. And a Trump exit is the only shot any of them (including Vivek) had.

With over a billion people, perhaps there's someone named after 2 provinces (Qinghai and Shandong), but I find it unlikely that would be the one in the news. That would be like a guy named California Texas. If that's what his ID says, I'd be looking to see if it's genuine.

Yeah. I miss the mean tweets. Sadly, there's a political belief that voters are reluctant to switch leaders during time of war. So the timing would fit...

You mean the state with one of the highest population growths in the US. The one that attracts so many people leaving their blue disasters, to live the way they want? https://www.homesnacks.com/fastest-growing-states/ https://www.statista.com/chart/12484/population-growth-in-the-united-states-by-federal-state/ I suppose you'd prefer Newsom, whose state is losing population as people flee his policies? Why do ya figure so many people are leaving blue states to live in red ones?

It's possible his passport expired and he now has a different passport number than the one on his DL. That was my situation...

Maybe. Maybe not. Not hard to imagine some of the posters here are flying under the radar and wondering if they're at risk. More details would have been helpful.

Lately, they're more akin to spoiler alerts.

At the very least, the jury should know what year it happened...

Sure. But when you throw $ trillions of tax dollars into the wind, it'll be years before we know if those investments paid out. Or whether it's just smoke, mirrors and buying votes. Maybe by the 2028 election, we'll have a clue. But not by November. After November, we should at least start getting credible numbers from the gub'ment agencies that publish those numbers. The ones scared to death of another Trump term.

I'm discussing the jobs added reports. They've overstated almost every month in 2023. I quit paying attention to the unemployment numbers when 300,000 illegals walk in, 200,000 jobs are "created" and yet the unemployment numbers go down. That must be the new math. Not to mention the workforce engagement numbers showing more and more people who aren't even looking for a job. I kinda wonder if they're the ones taking advantage of blue cities decriminalizing shoplifting. When you can swipe $500 a day consequence free, who needs a job?

With all the malicious, partisan driven prosecutions coming at him. I'm surprised the guy hasn't vapor locked already. Which looks like their plan... Exhaust the guy and force some errors. Contrast that with Biden who is handled at every turn and gets about 3-1/2 weeks off each month. And he still loses every encounter with a teleprompter, never mind the disasters off the cuff. But voters see through it and Trumps support and endorsements keep growing.

Seems like the guy's ex is playing the role of a woman scorned, and is bringing the receipts. Literally...

Of course he has. Usually debating with the teleprompter. It rarely goes well.

You mean the trend that says some things are getting back to normal after the Orwellian way the gub'ment handled Covid? In fairness, that wasn't all Biden. But the buck stops at his desk. Just like it stopped at Trump's desk before him.
