But, seriously, as you will recall, there were four mentioned, one from each of the points of the compass.

And, WHICH one is she?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Is she from the North?

No way!

LOL.... it's rather obvious how little thought you have given to this issue.  It's also very obvious that you don't care to educate yourself about it.  Or perhaps living in a privileged household the notion that many facets of the world weren't equitable never arose.

 

If you do want to understand those inequities, AN is not a good starting point.

Do you imagine the link that you have posted actually confirms your statement? It does the complete opposite and confirms that it is amongst the least liked. So the two descriptions that you state are okay to use, you have shown by your own posted link, they they are the least liked. Way to go, you've excelled yourself today.

I have removed a few flame, bickering and name calling posts. I have no desire to censor opinions, but please just discuss the topic without the personal attacks.

    Huh?  'Only the voters like Trumps, and they simply don't count.'  ???   I think you got it backwards.  The voters 'liked' Biden more than Trump in the 2020 election by more than 7 MILLION.  In 2016, the voters also 'liked' Clinton more--by 2.8 MILLION. 

    In that 2016 election, you are totally right, the actual voters 'didn't count'.  But, Trump was the one who was, in your words, 'appointed by the EC', even though the actual voters wanted Clinton, by 2.8 million votes.  Trump has never even won 50% of the vote so, clearly, the majority of the voters don't 'like' the worst President in the history of the US.

He has some mojo that allows him to behave abhorrently, and his sycophants look the other way because they associate so much with his soulless attitude. But this time I think he went too far. We're literally gonna elect a new sheriff and she'll do what it takes to extract the required pound of flesh, and lord knows that fat slob could afford to lose a few pounds. He attempted to overthrow the government and this cannot go unanswered.

With his ego I don't see him surviving very long in the orange jumpsuit.

Another option which I would love to see is for him to flee the country to one of his dictator idols as a cowardly wanted fugitive.

 

Expanding on this, people will say the feds would be able to stop him from fleeing.

Yeah, probably so. But why should they? A Trump in prison is a martyr for the maga let's do civil war types. A Trump who shows his true colors by running away is less of a martyr.

Having said that, you would have to be extremely dumb to vote for a  incontinent 78 yo in cognitive decline, who will gut Medicare and social security as soon as he is elected, so he can give tax cuts to his billionaire donors.

Time will tell who will be the next US Prez.

 

Meanwhile,  Harris was anointed and appointed to be the Democrats' candidate.

However, this was done in both an opaque and non-democratic process.

 

There was no open-convention offered to the vast majority of voters.

 

Instead, Harris was chosen by a very small group which probably does not represent the majority of  registered Democrats in the USA.

 

And, what about Biden? 

Obviously, he has disrupted a fair election every bit as much as Trump.

 

Neither the Dems nor the Republicans want, nor will they tolerate, a truly fair and open election.

 

Therefore, I ask you...

Will our next Prez truly be the elected president?

 

 

As to insults, I always loved Tricky Dick.

And, do you recall the campaign button:  "Nixon's the One", having a button showing a young pregnant woman.... ?

 

Insults are expected from congressmen.

American Politics would not be good politics without the insults and backbiting and dishonesty and lying.

Not sure where you are from, though...

 

 

One is left to wonder why someone would get on the Political Soapbox if they are unable to debate or even defend their position. Poor.

SF Bay, hence my support for Kamala.Biden sealed his fate at the debate. He only will get even more older.

I knew Trump has this in the bag then but he is capable to find a sure way to his next loss instead.

Too much information.

We do not need, nor do we wish to know, that some US presidents may or may not wear diapers.

 

Personally, I find the subject not fit for polite dinner conversation, and distasteful.

 

If we make the choice to go down this path, to wonder which of our presidents are wearing diapers, then how can this curiosity be satisfied and verified, one way or another?

 

Also, concerning the incontinence issue, we obviously have BOTH parties to blame.....

Because, otherwise, who was it that coughed up both Trump, Biden, and now Harris, as our only potential choices for the election of 2024.

 

Where is JFK when we need him???!!!

 

I would much rather discuss JFK's bad back, than to speculate about what might be in Trump's diaper, if he even wears one.

 

There are some Topics that are just too....

Too much.

Too much information, for most of us, especially in this strange year of 2024.

I just cannot accept that Kamala Harris is suppose to be the President of the United States of America. 

It's laughable ....  but I'm not being detrimental or nasty about it in any way ... it's just she does not fit into that category in any way whatsoever.  

She is a strong person, she comes across as jovial person,  she probably has alot of excellent qualities ....  

 

but,  not a President of the United States which is considered one of the most powerful positions in the world. 

 

God save America ....

The point is that both Dems and Republicans, and I mean those running for office, would prefer to manipulate the elections in the US, rather than to actually represent the majority of the voters.

 

There are many ways to manipulate US elections.

One way is just to ensure that there are limited numbers of candidates, and that all candidates have been vetted by those with party power.

This is the same thing that happens in other countries, such as China.

There are many such ways, including gerrymandering, and other ways of engineering an edge, at the expensive of "the will of the People"...

Maybe I am still naeve but my only desire to manipulate elections is diveting to insult a MAGA

Last election was by those wow should know, was the least manipulted in history. Therefor the fairest.

I bet you don't understand it neither...

 

Smart people at Harward are in my corner on this;

https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/why-american-elections-are-flawed-and-how-fix-them-0

 

At least I do my own taxes after I learned how to do it. Are you?

And I'm pretty good at it: I ended pointing out tax law teacher at St George University he's teaching wrong reporting limits for foreign funds 🙂

He openly thanked me for that front of his class.

 

 

 

 

That the leftists elites at "Harward" think it should be scrapped is reason enough to keep it. 

 

I did my own taxes since 1972, until relocated to Thailand in 2000, when because of a tax equalization agreement with the company I worked for, they started doing them, and continued until I retired a few years ago. I've done them since.  

 

Back in the '80s I had a loan racket, and also did taxes. Is there supposed to be something difficult about arithmetic?

That's what you were told 😂 

     No, actual FACTS.   Which, I know, Trumpets detest.  In both the 2020 and the 2016 elections, the voters, to use your term, 'liked' both Clinton and Biden more than Trump, by 2.8 million and 7 million votes.  You claim that Biden was 'appointed' President by the EC, and the Trump voters, in your words, 'simply didn't count'.   The implication being that Trump won the popular vote but his votes 'didn't count' and the Electoral College, in your words, 'appointed' Biden president.  

    As I pointed out in my earlier post, you have it completely backwards.  The reality is, the FACT is, in both elections the popular vote was won by the Democrat candidate, not Trump. The reality is, the FACT is, that Trump was the one who was 'appointed' president by the EC in 2016, over the wishes of the actual voters. 

    If there ever was a glaring case for votes 'not counting', it was the voters who 'liked' Clinton more than Trump, to the tune of 2.8 million.  Ditto for the 2000 election, when the actual voters 'liked' Gore more than Bush but Bush was 'appointed' president by the EC, with an assist from the Supreme Court. 

    Had Trump won the popular vote in either 2016 or 2020, and the Democrat candidate won the EC, then, yes, you would have a claim of the voters 'liking' Trump but the EC 'appointing' the Democrat.  Not the case.  Trump lost the popular vote very badly in both elections.  Not 'liked'--sorry.

    The reality is, the FACT is, that if only the popular vote was considered, Trump would have never been 'appointed' as president in 2016 and the US would have been spared the worst president in history.  Yet another reason to ditch the EC.
