U.S Presidential Election
- Thread starter Chiang Mai Tiger
- Start date
Trump can barely walk down a ramp and lives on a diet of fast food and television. Biden looks in excellent shape for an old dude.
You're funny Contrarian. Sleepy Joe doesn't even know where he is half the time.
And yet he has no trouble riding bicycles or walking up stairs into airplanes
I see it as a competition between a possibly insane candidate and a possibly senile candidate and think either one of them is a disaster for the US and by extension for the world.
They'd be better off wheeling both Presidential candidates off to the Looney Bin and letting the VP candidates fight it out.
Another comedian. Recent US history is just one poor leader after another. Neither side has anything to brag about. It's going to take a complete change to do anything to fulfill that somewhat useless and stupid slogan of MAGA
Struggling to understand that. You have no interest but know enough to call the recent leaders poor?
OK.
Well you can hardly miss them can you? In your face in the media every single day. Generally behaving like idiots or bombing people into the stone age in the name of "peace".

The biggest issue is not so much Trump as Mitch McConnell.
The US system relies on a separation of powers which relies on each branch of government performing it's role. The power of the President is supposed to be limited by congress but McConnell and the Republicans have made sure there is no accountability from congress, when Nixon resigned congressional republicans were telling him that they would impeach him, the current lot wouldn't impeach Trump on any basis. The system also relies on an independent judiciary, which the republican stacking of the Supreme Court, and even more so the Federal Court where Obama couldn't get scores of justices appointed, which has rendered the courts partisan. This has been McConnell's doing, in fact, the only way the republicans in congress would move against Trump is if he stops being useful to McConnell.
The Republicans know they are screwed demographically so they are trying to stack the system and make sure anyone likely to vote against them is excluded from voting.
The US political system is a complete mess at the moment. Ironically it has been the states who have done the most to curb some of the abuses as the federal level of government has been deliberately made dysfunctional.

I saw Fogerty play at Bluesfest in 2008. Great gig, sounded just like Creedence. The tent was packed so I left a little early and walked into a half-empty tent just as The Black Crowes were starting on Remedy. Unreal.
How can the Trump mob be using this song, it's all about being born into privilege, like Trump.
It's like Reagan using Born in the USA.
These people are just too thick to understand the lyrics.
Someone needs to run Thick as a Brick with a pic of Trump.

True, but it was a long time ago and Trump was a raging favourite as well. Coronavirus is lefty.
