I don't know man, my browser still labels it unsecure. There has been no announcement.

No, I'm totally checked out. The Presidency seems to have lost all relevance.

Duff has fallen off the wagon. Been spotted in dark alleys, getting high on his own bullshit. 

Why are they even continuing the band? Surely the coffers must be full by now. "Oh we gotta keep touring so it doesn't fall apart!". Yeah, the con that is.

I thought Trump had potential when he got elected, but his term turned out to be a lot of hot air. Perhaps the Washington machine is too much to conquer for even the strongest President, so I shouldn't necessarily blame Trump for the lack of action. He was shut down at every turn by his own party. But it doesn't leave you with much expectation either.

Economy was a good thing. You didn't worry about it during his term. Things were quiet and looking up. The last few years have been constant doom and gloom in one way or the other. Very tiresome psychologically, not to mention for your wallet.

We might expect more of the same, but who knows, maybe he'll start a war with Iran. But that could also happen with Kamala. For sure she will just do whatever her advisors tell her, which would suggest another Bidenesque Presidency. I think I prefer Trump, but neither will make a huge difference. Future continues to look bleak.

Well explain the large boosts in the polls then. And the massive influx of donations to the Harris campaign. They seem to have the momentum, don't you agree?

Then again, Trump hasn't gone on offense yet. Kamala has said a lot of dumb shit. I just don't know if anything matters anymore. It's like we're voting on homecoming kind and queen. Policy and substance do not matter.

Polls mean nothing. In 2016 we heard that Hillary was leading by 10-20 points all the way until November, then suddenly boom.

Biden was the opposite, trailing behind the entire evening before doing a suspicious catch up during the night. Apparently 90% of votes found after 2 am went to Biden...

It could be Trump or Kamala. Doesn't really matter. They'll both make Israel their top priority, America be damned. Netanyahu's visit to Congress should tell us everything we need to know about the state of politics. When was the last time a President got applaus like that? Roosevelt? It's as if the US itself is just a sidehow now. Israel, Ukraine, China, always something far, far away on the agenda.

I find myself struggling to care about this election. Basically the Presidency is just a front now. Obviously Biden has not been running any real policy in the last 4 years, and Trump kept running into dead ends whenever he tried to do something. They could put Kamala in there and it would mean very little.

A strong President today would simply be a man who refuses to do some of the things the Washington Machine wants to do. He can not change anything. As we saw with Trump, it is apparently very easy to turn your own party against you if you start rocking the boat. Anybody holding high positions in government, military, intelligence is not going to risk their careers catering to a "rebel" President. That's how entreched the power structure has become in the West. Even if you wanted to do something it would be impossible.

Good is very relative at this point. Glad to see he's out and about.

#128 Re: The Garden » Current Events... » 94 weeks ago

Surely not Kamala. Would be a disaster.

He already had it won as long as Zombie Joe is the candidate. Extremely dislike Trump, but glad he is okay.

True, but even if they replace Biden he's got it locked now.

Surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner to be honest.
