When folks talk about "lack of experience" in politics, what they really mean is "lack of experience in dealing with the biggest scumbags on the planet".
No other business can prepare you for the depths of depravity in DC.

Exactly. They knew this amendment was a failure when they proposed it.
There are 2 or 3 different ways to accomplish the same thing, but some of that needs to be done on the federal level. It makes no sense that college tuition is tax deductible for parents but private school tuition for Pre-12 is not. No reason not to put that out there. It doesn't harm anyone else except politicians. Should do the same for school supplies and required books and textbooks regardless of enrollment.
Making it a tax credit or tax deduction would be an easy and great first move
Has to be replaced by a member of the same party then a special election.
I hope people start with not watching this sht anymore. Need to stop encouraging it by giving it attention.
Disagree. His business dealings over his entire career involved politicians from both sides. He knew how the game was played which is why he won the first time around. He may have a better understanding from the trust issue, but he was definitely not a stranger to the demonic side of DC, which can rival multi-billion dollar deals in business.
Bad idea to put him as Ag Sec. Can't afford to lose his voice in congress
No idea on Kentucky specifically. Most states it’s within six months.
As a former CEO of a fairly large company this is one of the things I told people I back in '16....that Trump will/would find out that being President isn't the same as a CEO. CEO your decision is gospel. What you say goes. If you're smart you take other peoples input to mind...but it is still your decision. President is much, much different. May make a decision but then you have to go thru all the channels, branches of gov't, etc to get it done...and it may not make it. And if it does then you're looking at court cases to stop it.
Helping to remove poison from our food supply might be more important than participating in endless show hearings that never result in any benefit.

Well guess those "friends" of illegals need to step up and sponsor them! Fkn put your money where your mouth is ffs! If you want them here, pay their taxes, mortgage/rent, and give them a smartphone. Quit being a POS and do it already
Expecting everyone else to do it is just being a virtue-signaling pure ashole.
The new England area is truly one of the most racist places in America. They might never/rarely utter a racist word, but there are no minorities there anywhere. The only exceptions are the ones they tolerate to do service work and thats scant few.
While true its just a personality strength and defect of his. He is 100% a leader and 0% a manager. He needs to learn the management skills if he can get effectuate this massive shift in politics.
For sure. Vance is infinitely better at handling the incoming fire and skillfully redirecting it. Put him in front of every camera and talk show you can. Give him projects. Set him up for 2028.
I still dont completely trust vance, but currently he is the best bet on winning next time which is the most key issue
“Legitimate business”…other “business” is quite lucrative, I’d imagine anyway. I stay on the VA side in Alexandria.

Sound like something Trump would do.
These videos the left are making of themselves crying/screaming/throwing a fit over the election should be mandatory viewing for their current employer or anyone they ever interview with in the future. I mean this is a giant red flag they are willingly posting on social media just to see what other nutbags share their sad vibes.
These people are absolutely pathetic yet wildly entertaining (in small doses at least).
I’d be perfectly happy if Trump spent the next few years flying around the world, shaking hands with dictators, coming up with names like rocket man, etc. Basically anything to keep the media attention on himself while the team of Elon, Vance, Vivek, RFK, Massie et al burn the executive branch to the ground.
Anyone who votes for someone because a celebrity told them to probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.LOL they big mad
Years ago I had a series of appointments in Maine at the Bath Shipyards. Make Navy ships. Walked in this big office and this black guy greeted me and sat down behind his desk...head of purchasing or engineering...can't remember. We exchanged pleasantries and small talk. Then, he looked at me and started laughing. Knowing I was from Atlanta he said.....bet you didn't think you'd be talking to a black guy in Maine. We both cracked up. Great guy...have thought of him often over the years.
This is a good read.
Honestly, I think the best elements of the democratic party has moved behind Trump in the last 8 years. It will be interesting if their party finds any sanity moving forward. I find it doubtful.
"Democrats, you once belonged to a great party that celebrated civic virtue, championed the working man, and was deeply suspicious of consolidated wealth and power. But somewhere along the way your party rejected Jefferson & Jackson and abandoned the common man for power, money, and status. You are now the party of Big Business, Big Bureaucracy, war, surveillance, censorship, and sneering, undeserving privilege.
Your leaders betrayed the values that made you the Party of the People, stitching together instead a political coalition centered around racial animus, resentment, paranoia, and fear. To hold this shaky coalition together, you’ve been forced to adopt absurd beliefs and participate in humiliation rituals that exact a heavy toll on your mental health while achieving very little. The more your party succumbs to its contradictions, the more deranged you become, chasing after imaginary fascists and foreign subversives while the kitchen table issues that once defined your politics fade into the background.
This coalition is coming apart at the seams, and now the Republican Party—historically the party of Big Business and the war machine—is eating your lunch. You just lost big, and you’re going to keep losing until you finally return to the fundamentals and revolt against your party leaders just like we did back in ‘16.
We are living through an historic realignment, and my team gets to make the first move. You can always double-down on the scolding, sermonizing, and faculty lounge bullshit, or you can return to the fundamentals and take your party back. And as much as I can’t stand you, I sincerely hope you pursue the latter."

Bob Woodward needs to be strapped to the outside of one of Elon’s rockets and fired into space.
These shameless hacks are going with the Russia hoax again.

Accurate.
People like Bill Maher (I like him, most probably don’t here)…has been saying and calling the Dem party out for years over the crazy shit that it takes to win a Dem primary now.
Soooo “tolerant/woke” that you are no longer tolerant/woke.

Hands down. So much truth and hope in there, and none of it was fake. Whoever was responsible for that one needs a big ol’ raise.
Gives me chills every time. Legitimately one of the best political ads ever.
Expect Tim Scott to be on the cabinet.

I still say that a voting requirement(s) should be 1) you're a taxpayer and/or 2) property owner.
Voter if you have 'skin in the game'
Already a lot of great items mentioned by others. I will add
- reinstating single issue legislation and
- mandating public viewing and discussion of all bills for 2 weeks or more prior to being brought to a vote
- mandating the revocation of Congress voting on their own raises. Need to be referendums on that
- lobbying limits with immediate, public declaration of any such transactions between office holders/parties and lobbyists
- revoking insider trading for members of congress AND
- prosecution of politicians who have not only been insider trading but also manipulating markets in doing so
- revoking corporate personhood
- instituting tuition and spending limits for all public colleges and universities as well as taxing them to benefit the communities in which they reside
- mandating proficiency in consumer education and requiring community or military service as part of degree requirements at secondary schools, colleges and universiries
- reintroducing PE requirements and minimums for HS degree
- mandating TRUE and PUBLISHED efficacy and safety testing for all current jabs and their ingredients and any new products brought to market
- preventing the forced or required treatment of any person with any product including any that has not been so properly tested
- mandatory attaching of the death penalty to all murder convictions and convicted rape of children, with the only variable being time until execution (from immediate election by convict to 2 yrs maximum delay)
- restoration nationally of castle doctrine
That's it for now

Philly Democratic Chair Bob Brady slams Kamala Harris campaign after loss to Trump
Hours after Donald Trump’s victory winning Pennsylvania and the White House, Philadelphia Democratic Chair and former congressman Bob Brady slammed Kamala Harris’ campaign, claiming their lack of communication with him and his organization contributed to her loss.

The people betting on elections on the betting sites use the various polls to determine how they are going to bet. I'd argue they are an aggregator of polling data. And when a poll comes out that's say, 53-45 Trump, the betting odds are going to be like 95-5, which looks more accurate. But it's a different number.
