It's way early to make any predictions about 28 and first we need to have a somewhat normal 26. But if there are still real elections it seems to me that Pritzker presents an interesting political package with potential to be a contender. Personally I don't get why the dems would go with Newsome. California is viewed in some ways as it's own country. I really like the idea of going midwestern. I've always been a big fan of Amy Klobuchar but more like as a past candidate rather than a future one.

Is Trump the most corrupt US president in history?
Jingthing replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Yeah and there are easily hundreds of such outrages from Trump. That's part of the fascism game. Flood the zone with sheit so that people begin to see it as normal, they get exhausted, and they just give up even trying to resist it as happened in Russia. -
Community Chiang Mai Café Responds to “Human Zoo” Controversy
Jingthing replied to Georgealbert's topic in Chiang Mai News
My aunt who later became a high society lady worked making cigars by hand in her youth. Work is dignified. Slavery isn't. -
He's been building up to this. Not only going after Trump but also "do nothing democrats" sitting idly by while Trump ruins the country not to mention the global economy. Two months ago. It's widely acknowledged that governors are more qualified for the presidency than congress members not to mention bad businessmen grifters.

He's (probably) running for president and he's got a message. Do not take Trump's creeping destruction of American democracy sitting down. Too fat you say? Chris Christie was fatter when he should have first run for president and probably would have won. Being fat is nothing compared to being a corrupt grifter adjudicated rapist economics know nothing Putin lover. Too Jewish? Not really. Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro probably is. Too midwestern? Not possible to be too midwestern. Too much the billionaire? A possible political weakness but at least he's one of the good ones and having deep pockets always helps in a presidential run. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/27/pritzker-democratic-party-new-hampshire/

He's not on a path to end the war. The only thing Putin will accept is a surrender by Ukraine setting the Russians up for eventual complete control of Ukraine and more. The Nobel people may have been dumb with the Obama prize granted, but they won't award a total capitulation to Putin with the prize. Impossible.

That's what authoritarians want you to do.

I don't believe that Trump will ever pivot from being Putin's poodle to actually supporting Ukraine. He has these little blips where it looks to the very naive that he may see the light, but it's always vapor. Putin does NOT want peace! You can't have peace negotiations with such a person. The only hope is to FORCE them into needing that. Their continued maximalist goals going back decades remain intact. A puppet Ukraine and then taking over Moldova, the Baltics, and even Poland if NATO remains fallen apart thanks to the maga fascists.

About the brand damage: Billionaire Warns Trump Damage Might Take a 'Lifetime to Repair' www.thewrap.com/trump-trade-war-ken-griffin-damaging-american-brand/ CEO Citadel Ken Griffin, a former GOP megadonor who voted for President Trump, said on Wednesday that the president’s trade wars are “nonsensical” and have already hurt the country’s “brand.” “The United States was more than just a nation. It’s a brand. It’s a universal brand. Whether it’s our culture, our financial strength, our military strength, America rose beyond just being a country,” Griffin said Wednesday at Semafor’s World Economy Summit in Washington, D.C.

Hilarious that people are still trying to sane wash Trump. He's all impulse all the time.

I said it was wrong. What percentage of straight people have experienced housing discrimination based on their sexuality compare to LBGT people? I estimate much less than 1 percent for the former and a high number for the latter. From my own experience. Moving into a house and being greeted with graffiti saying FAGS painted on it. How often do you think heteros experience that kind of thing? Basically never.
-
It's both and many other things as well. Maybe too complicated for the simple minded maga cult world view.
-
Yeah I assumed it was a gay ghetto area. I don't approve of what they did. but again LGBT people are small minority and to conflate that experience if true to the general situation of LGBT is way off base. I still don't believe your story. So you wanted to move into a gay ghetto? OK. Or are you just making up stories to trash gay people and present a totally false equivalance.
-
Yes. Is that too difficult a concept for you?
-
If that story is true which is very doubtful, of the thousands of apartment buildings in Houston, that might be one of them. They may have been wanting to build a gay space there so what they should have done in that case is to say that most of their neighbors will be gay, just so you know, then up to you. I've seen similar things at entrances of gay bars where straight looking people are enting and the doorman saying -- you know this is a gay bar, right?
-
Doesn't matter how you're rooting. He's a TOTAL DISASTER and the people that are going to suffer the most from his idiocy are Americans themselves. I particulary pity younger Americans today whether they're in his stupid cult or not. Because of the permanent damage Trump has already done their future is not promising at all.
-
Yes he's doing great ruining the USA brand permanently faster than any foreign enemy could ever dream of. He'll always have his CULT. What percentage? Probably 30 to 35 percent.

Just stop with the dumb act! Thailand is NOT the USA. Thailand needs foreign guest workers and makes it easy for them to work in Thailand legally in the millions. Completely different national situations. You get all anal about "law abiding" when you know perfectly well exactly what I mean -- their behavior while in the US REGARDLESS of their immigration situation. I can't be bothered with your endless pointless dumb acting noise any further. You act like a toddler who has no capability of getting any nuance. Not believable.
