Soiled underwear lobby


OTC memory lobby


Peen pill lobby


Electric vehicle lobby


As the resident really old guy here, neither of these two can go 4 more years with any ability. I am surrounded by folks of either age and none would be able to run a country.



Wake up Merica and elect a POTUS under 60!

fine - do you think that Sen Grassley could not cope with the mental demands? - do you think Kamala Harris could??

age is a number - but is not a unique qualifier or disqualifier.

Actual performance is the only factor that matters.

I'm under 60.

No one won today. We just got more confirmation of how much danger we are in, and that we may not even make it to November.

- We have an administration that has levied war against the nation via the border (and other means), which is defined as treason by Article III of the Constitution.

- Biden has clearly ordered the DOJ to go after his political adversary:
November 9, 2022 - Biden addressed the prospect of Trump taking the White House once again.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.

link for citation

- That same DOJ has determined that Biden is not competent.

- That same DOJ cleared Biden of the same thing they are prosecuting Trump for.

- Either the DOJ is right about Biden's brain and is taking orders from a crazy person to prosecute a political opponent, OR, they are wrong. If they are wrong, then they have no credibility and the case against Trump has to be dismissed immediately. If they are taking orders from a crazy person, then the case has to be dismissed immediately, because that would again call into question their motives, their own competency, and their integrity.

- We have a President conducting treason against the nation and seemingly not competent, and his Cabinet has done nothing. Either they are onboard with treason or they are also incompetent.

- All Americans lost today. Our government is treasonous and that treason is real, regardless of intent or mental competency - harm has been done to this nation. You can argue culpability, but you can't argue the damage.

- On top of this, our national leadership was outclassed via Tucker's interview with Putin, who is sharper than the combined intellect of our national security enterprise, clearly.

- Congress has completely abandoned our border and the safety of this nation, which is a Constitutional obligation. They and the White House attempted to blackmail and coerce the public to give support to a bill that was disastrous for our sovereignty and foreign affairs. In turn, rather than focus on our sovereignty and the clearest threat to the nation at this time (our border), they sidelined the border issue in favor of a hundred billion dollars of our money to go to other nations to protect their borders. It's beyond obvious that Ukraine has nothing to do with security and everything to do with maintaining the money laundering enterprise, while the side effects are the weakening of our nation, erosion of our security, and destruction of our credibility around the world. This qualifies as treason, IMO.

- We have a complete betrayal of this nation by the Executive and Legislative branches and if we broaden the examination window just a bit, the Judiciary is in the same boat.

- At some point it's time to give people like myself a chance. Look where our nation is: it's been led since the close of WWII by people like Chuck Schumer. Schumer was born in 1950. In 1975, after going to Harvard, he entered politics, and has never left. Half a century in politics, several years at Harvard, and not a single day of his adult life in the real world, with real Americans, dealing with real issues. How many times are we going to see the Ivy League in the biographies of these people and still not learn a lesson about what the Ivy League produces?

- You do what you've always done and you get what you always got. Our nation has been systematically weakened and our government is now attempting the controlled demolition of this nation. It's time to go in a different direction and vote for some new people.

- There are fewer than 10 people on the ballot in November at the federal level, that deserve your consideration. The rest either supported Ukraine money laundering or McCarthy as Speaker, or both. These two litmus tests are all you need, and if a border bill comes to a vote, that will be a third.

- Stop voting for incumbents and especially do not vote for a Democrat, at any level: local, state, or federal.

We all lost today. Hopefully we make it to November because that is our last chance.

Terrible choice

Sen Grassley


If this is a term limits issue, I am not sold on the argument. I think what you actually accomplish for the actual voters is the better issue than length of term. Look at Moscow Mitch, or Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light if you like, has been there forever but seems to enrich himself and a handful of powerful donors more than the folks that actually voted for him and sent him to the Senate in the first place.

I personally was around DJT when he bought Mar A Lag in the 80's and he had issues then. He is the reincarnation of P T Barnum in my opinion but he is great at fooling folks.

I do not know Biden personally but I suspect any POTUS tied to the State of Delaware being well aware of their #1 status (thanks mainly to the DuPont family back 200 years ago) for protecting large corporations and the uber wealthy from the view of average US citizens like myself.

Bigger point is BOTH are past their prime and should not be in charge of the USA in 2024.

Democrats are the "gang that could not shoot straight"

Republicans have become Red Commie lovers (Russia, China, and the fat guy in North Korea) and I never thought that would happen in my lifetime.

My brother, you are preaching to the choir!


Since World War II, list the POTUS (D) or (R) who did not have this in their resume.

#1 Ivy League school
#2 Service Academy (especially West Point)
#3 Near Ivy League school (Stanford, Duke, UVA, UM, and such)
#4 Private college of note
#5 Spend most of life on E / W Coast or upper MW big city MSA (like Chicago)
#6 Actual close family ties to the 1% of the 1% of the 1%
#7 Never had a working class job in their life (like flipping burgers or such)

Since World War II, list the SCOTUS (D) or (R) who did not have this in their resume.

The most inbred city in the USA is not in the South, it is in the East Coast corridor and I will bet you 99 out of 100 on this board have never been there in person.

Your perspective will not be taken well…..however accurate it is.

I was familiar with him reading various literature on him and following him regularly in the late 80s into the 90s (and beyond). It was increased when I became friends with people who were actual former small business owners in NJ that were involved in his casino developments.

This eco chamber wants nothing to do with facts/reality when it is counter to their idealistic view of him. It’s actually not very complex…..he is the conduit of release for the pent-up anger and gives them a “voice” in their minds. Don’t dare threaten that.

For what’s at hand, it may be a pinch your nose and vote.

I am an avid Greg Abbott supporter and traditional leaning conservative that will consider LOGICAL points in a modern society. I detest the Dem/Prog agenda because it is truly eroding America. I have professionally fallen victim to said agenda……I’ve lived it. But, I will not canonize someone like DJT. I get people voting for him but save me the Koolaidfest.

Not to be a traitor to my generation but we will go from Baby Boomer POTUS to Milinal POTUS and it will not be good for this country. I put the blame on both parties for feeding at the trough at the moment and not thinking of how to feed the children and grandchildren of the actual voters.

A generation ago folks like Moscow Mitch, DJT, and Biden should have stepped aside and promoted the next generation of leaders while they took on the mentor and wise sage mode in their life. Instead they are holding on till it is pried from their cold, dead hands, and it will be too late to help the actual citizens.

Is this a generational thing? My father is working in a high level government job and he’s almost 80. He could have retired (with an Army retirement, Gov retirement and whatever the thrift savings scam is that gov employees participate in) but he won’t. He grew up poor and I think that’s the issue but it could just be his generation. He’s still the best at his job, but I would think he’d want to retire, especially with the shite show the government has become.

Excellent point!

We are being run by folks who have never had a real job in their life

Probably so, and part is the younger set not willing to learn a trade. They think they can go straight from college to CEO. I am old school where the CEO probably started in the mail room learning their trade from the ground up.

Congrats for the grade school level response.

What would you propose in lieu of 2 old farts at the pinnacle of power and both already senile?

If you are the genius, please let me know your wisdom?

If you can't see the difference in mental acuity between the two, then you're the elderly dumbass.

Did you happen to watch that shitshow last night? Maybe that's what compelled you to start this thread in the first place.
