I know, that is the only reason I voted for him the first time, to protest my choices....Especially since you live in California, your vote for Trump wouldn’t really amounted to much.

Funny boy....he did that his first day in office!I didn't think it would be this bad until he canceled Keystone XL.
That was a clear cut sign that he was putting feels over needs.

You have no idea. I have a good friend who was texting me during that. He had private contractors over there getting people out.No question it was a disaster.
Well Florida stayed open didn't they? It's still a state's rights thing and if you recall the Covid crazies in certain states put positive people in nursing homes.
The worst part is that those that helped the US had a huge target placed on their backs. I wonder what percentage of those we worked with have not suffered horrific deaths.You have no idea.

Some were tasked to get a family out but they didn’t to them quickly enough. They raped and killed the women , and killed the men.
It was so much worse than what the media reported .
A Republican governor .Yeah, but Florida is unique in that they have a real leader as their governor. No other state has a leader for their governor even close to what Florida does with President DeSantis.
During the early pandemic my wife and I were going from Florida through Virginia to Pennsylvania and back. So we got a flavor for all the anti covid policies.This is why the board jester calls DeSantis. DeathSantis. Because he reopened Florida.
Democrats have a short memory.

Exactly, the President can only do so much , it’s up to the governors to step up.During the early pandemic my wife and I were going from Florida through Virginia to Pennsylvania and back. So we got a flavor for all the anti covid policies.
It was as if we were in different worlds. In pa everything was closed...no restaurants, libraries, university women's book sales cancelled, church services cancelled, you couldn't even make donations to charities (they were closed) and on and on.
At the same time in florida, schools open, restaurants open,church on sundays, golf whenever you wanted etc. At the time, the governor, in lwnj circles, was nicknamed deathsantis, yet deaths in Florida were among the lowest per capita in the nation. It took A lot of guts for the governor to buck the "science" per day I and take the route he did. As a result Florida bounced back quickly.
The worst part is that those that helped the US had a huge target placed on their backs. I wonder what percentage of those we worked with have not suffered horrific deaths.
So now any future US operations overseas comes with a huge deterrent to the population assisting US goals. They will know that if Democrats are in or gain control in the US that the US will turn their backs on foreign allies of those US operations. The botched withdrawal and particularly the image of Afghanistan allies running along a c130 to try to get out anyway possible weakens any future overseas efforts.
We need a well thought out comprehensive long term energy policy. It is one thing to say, we are going 100% green, it's another thing to do it completely cold turkey which is punishing the middle and lower classes. This is what you get when hard core ideology at all costs, replaces doing what's best for the American people. In almost every case, ideology wins out with this Administration.I expected a Biden presidency to be unspectacular. In fact, I expected it to be pretty bad. That's why I couldn't vote for him.
I honestly pinched my nose and tried to vote for Trump. Couldn't do that either. Threw my vote away because I wouldn't have been able to sleep at night voting for either one, and figured we were looking at a bad next four years with either choice.
Holy f*cking sh*t though! I never thought this was possible. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I should have voted for Trump. I still think Trump is literal scum of the Earth, and honestly his hands are dirty from this mess too - But FFS Biden!?
We're going to be feeling the repercussions of this mess for generations. Many generations. This isn't just a point-in-time recession that we recover from and look back and think, "well that sucked - glad it's over." Massive inflation crushing the poor and middle class - and even many that would be considered "upper class" -- And the only way to stop this bleeding is by tanking the economy into recession.
What is frightening is that our ship is just starting to scrape the iceberg. Find something to grab on to that might float, because this ship is going down - And it's going to sink like a rock.
The wealth transfer over the next 10 years is going to be spectacular.
Biden is not in control, the question is , who is the man behind the curtain? Obama, Soros?I honestly didn’t know what to expect but I knew he would be bad and was a big bag of hot air.
I’m a bit surprised to see just how far left he has gone. He’s like Obama on steroids or Bernie Sanders and I think he fooled a lot of people that voted for him and expected more of a centrist.

I hope your right, but can we trust our election system?Woke authoritarianism is their only goal. They have totally abandoned their responsibilities to the common American citizen.
Most (not all) liberals lost their connection to reality in the years leading up to Trump. When Trump won in 2016 it sent them into an perpetual state of rage that will not let up until they totally destroy our society. They are the true domestic terrorist threat to this country.
We will survive this as many of these radicals are being voted out of their positions. Whether it be a local state representative, a creepy groomer school board member, or an insanely radical DA of a major city who has deep ties to murderous left wing radical groups, they are all going to fall one way or another and their supporters will be ostracized for their complicity.
He’s the worst ever and these idiots write this?![]()

Leave Joe Biden Alone
Biden’s been a good president, but Republicans want to impeach him and some Democrats want to replace him.www.theatlantic.com
I agree to a certain extent, however, covid was a wild card, not on anyone's radar. Trumps instincts told him not to shut things down, but he relied way to much on the swamp bureaucrats at the CDC. The press also pounded him and pressured him to do things that went against his instincts.Trump allowed the lockdowns - which came from his Covid team (from which he never fired anyone) - that necessitated the printing of the 6'ish TRILLION dollars.
Trump was POTUS when this ball got rolling in the wrong direction. Hell, he helped push it, and never did anything to stop it.
Put anther way, Trump started this dumpster fire. But Biden came in, and all he's done is throw all of our gasoline on the dumpster fire! Like, WTF!?
He did far worse than act like nothing happened. He tried to paint his disaster as some of kind of success saying it was the largest airlift in history. Like surrendering really fast is great!I never thought I would see the day when the US acted with such breathtaking incompetence and stupidity, and even worse for a US President to leave Americans behind and then act like nothing like that happened.
Biden is a terrible human being and the Democrat Party is only interested in their own self serving political power and their desire to transform America into Venezuela.
I will have to read this later as I don’t want to lose my breakfast!![]()

Don't bother, the writer lost me when he claimed to be a centrist moderate and labeled Republicans as radical far right.I will have to read this later as I don’t want to lose my breakfast!
In regard to energy policy, since the Industrial Revolution, mankind has moved from high-carbon fuel (wood and coal), to medium carbon fuel (oil), to low-carbon fuel (natural gas) without the need for government intervention.We need a well thought out comprehensive long term energy policy. It is one thing to say, we are going 100% green, it's another thing to do it completely cold turkey which is punishing the middle and lower classes.
Its the far left's way or the highway.
YepDon't bother, the writer lost me when he claimed to be a centrist moderate and labeled Republicans as radical far right.
I get that he would have taken a lot of heat, politically.
But you know what? If you're going to ask people to vote you as the leader of their country/state/city/county/whatever - You're asking them to put their trust in you to do what is right, regardless of political pressure.
So, when the people elect you to that position and you're faced with a tough decision, IMO the only obligation you have is to be right.
You can take the more politically expedient path. It's your decision. But that doesn't mean you get to use "but politics!" as an excuse if/when you're wrong.
Yes. Donald J. Trump.Holy Crap. Honest question... Did anyone expect Biden's presidency to be this level of disaster?
The policy and actions of this administration are what liberal wet dreams are made of. This is what they want. This is a reason to never vote Democratic again. This isn’t one senile and inept old guy doing this damage. This is the entirety of team D using the senile and inept old man as a puppet for their own gain.Yeah... That was my thinking. There would be people around him to help minimize the damage.
But holy shit - The people around him have actually AMPLIFIED his damage.
I think bourbon is a good guy and all but I don't believe him that he thought it would be this bad. No rational person could have expected this. Or perhaps, he doesn't yet actually understand how bad this is (going to get)?
And that was all during a time when so much was unknown. Trump would’ve turned things around A LOT sooner instead of doubling down like the current idiots in charge have done time and time again.Trump allowed the lockdowns - which came from his Covid team (from which he never fired anyone) - that necessitated the printing of the 6'ish TRILLION dollars.

All true.And that was all during a time when so much was unknown. Trump would’ve turned things around A LOT sooner instead of doubling down like the current idiots in charge have done time and time again.
I thought he would suck but never thought it would be this bad. Never dreamed based on his prior track record he would go so far left. When he and his handlers chose Kamala I started to worry.I expected a Biden presidency to be unspectacular. In fact, I expected it to be pretty bad. That's why I couldn't vote for him.

Gotta admit it, didn’t know it would get this bad this quickly. Knew he would screw up the economy. And the Covid response. And the southern border. Knew undoubtedly that energy would skyrocket.... just thought a little slower.I expected a Biden presidency to be unspectacular. In fact, I expected it to be pretty bad.

But didn’t expect the total collapse in Afghanistan....thought the Pentagon would stand up to him. Didn’t expect Putin to go full crazy on Ukraine......perhaps should have know he would act with this joker in the WH. And didn’t think he would appoint a cabinetmaker without a single qualified person.
100% on target and Biden was chosen not only as the puppet but as the eventual scapegoat. They will try to pin the results on Biden when the reality is that this is what Democrat policies yield. So those easily mislead will think the next Democrat candidate will be better while wielding the same Democrat policies.The policy and actions of this administration are what liberal wet dreams are made of.

Ever have an idiot of a substitute teacher? Then you have that retired Marine Colonel who got into teaching? Both are place holders, but everyone knew what Biden was all about out their in the real world. The real world, outside of our country.Exactly how I felt - what I expected. All of it.
I knew there would be a mess for President DeSantis to clean up, but wow. By the time he takes office, this country is going to be in a low low low place.
