President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

[mrMet]

Not political ideology as you are alluding too though.

The Democrats have a damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead no matter the consequences mindset. They realize that once they get laws passed, even if they get waxed in the next mid terms, that it is near impossible to get the laws off the books.

This is much more a over all out look on win at all cost.

If you mean ideology in this aspect then yes. But Michael Jordan could be thrown into the same damn the torpedoes ideology.

So I do not view it as a political ideology. McCain lacked the ability to match the Democrats at their own game. Trump did but like Custer he let his ego get the best of him and couldn’t realize that sometimes you can lose a battle to win a war and you need to walk away. But you don’t always walk away. You simply pick the right time. McCain never would pick the right time. He was also a career politician.

McCain is the a classic example of a hypocritical war lord. Idk any conservative person that actually liked him

It wasn't just Tulsi that media ran smear campaigns against...

Oh I know what. There were smear campaigns against Jill Stein as well. And the non stop smear campaign against Trump that continues to this day.

And I'm not a big fan of Trump anymore. I woke up awhile back. But the media cannot stop talking about him. Then there are the smear campaigns against Abbott and DeSantis.

These constant false attacks are just one of the many reasons I refuse to ever support the party that begins with a D.

Usually, I agree with you on certain things, but in this instance, I disagree with your assessment of both McCain and Trump.

McCain was the stereotypical politician. Corrupt (Keating Five), would lie/cheat/steal, kept petty beefs, and moved in whatever direction the wind blew. If he could backstab the conservative cause for the sake of gaining favor or good press with the left, he would do it. The guy had no core convictions other than doing what he could to save his own hide or feather his own nest.

Trump is a guy that I wonder in retrospect how he ever made a million dollars, let alone a billion because he showed such a lack of talent evaluation and surrounded himself as the POTUS with in-laws and a group of "swamp" misfits. John Bolton, Bill Barr, Nikki Haley, Jared Kushner, and at the end Giuliani and Sidney Powell... can't seem to put my finger on how that guy could seemingly put together a more inept collection of people. Also, the guy talks a very good game... good red meat. That obviously showed in the crowds that he was able to draw. But the guy couldn't deliver on the 3 major points of his 2016 campaign (drain the swamp, lock her up and build the wall). I think his personality is the only thing that actually saved him and kept him in the game. You compare and contrast the way the media is handling that train wreck right now with Biden and look at how those guys treated Trump. Faults and all, I really don't see how that guy Trump was able to roll out of bed each morning. They would take a word or phrase and split it, slice it and dice it with biased slants.

You can swap all the "evil Commie democrats" stuff and it will play exactly the same way.

I mean you can’t make this stuff up. And people actually like her for stuff other than her looks

Just another liar pretending to be a politician while promoting herself and building her wealth.

To say he’s a f’ing idiot is a huge understatement and an insult to idiots
Biden threatens Border Patrol horsemen… ‘I promise you those agents will pay’…

This idiot has never been to the border in over 50 years of government service and that included when he was the Kenyan commie’s border czar. 50% of his sh!t stained career was spent riding a government subsidized train from his tick turd state to the DC scum swamp where he screwed up everything he touched.

What do you think of Richard Nixon?

Actually have always considered Nixon a capable statesman. He opened dialogue with China, and appeared more than capable of handling Kruschev when he engaged with him during his role as VP in the kitchen debate. His administration was handed a sh!t show of a war that, to his credit, he did eventually end.

On the other hand…If I remember correctly he attempted to negotiator with the the Vietcong while LBJ was still president, which is questionable at best. Additionally, I must say that listening to the tapes from the Oval Office during his administration are at least troubling at times, and at other times make him appear as a madman. At the end of the day, had the man not been one of the most insecure and paranoid people on the face of the earth, he would be more generously viewed now than he is, IMO.

You do know that at least two of his mistresses died of dubious circumstances within 2 years of each other. Just saying. Those things in JFK's case can't be downplayed.

But JFK is getting beat up unfairly for Bay of Pigs, Vietnam and Cuban Missile Crisis. These must be some John Birch Society members in here.

Unfairly? Come on Ras don’t tell us you have some fanboi feeling for JFK?

 

[hog88]

McCain Republicans are like your pre-2016 Republicans. Romney, Bush, those types. As opposed to Trump Republicans like DeSantis, Cruz, Abbot, etc.

Losers vs winners?

Psaki calls for censorship of Instagram, Facebook

 

[0nelilreb]

Explain to us all, mr. history, why JFK is so bad?
As I’ve told others that spew ignorance on here, you don’t have to like the truth, but that doesn’t make it untrue.
Now, carry on with your brilliance.

The man came closer to blowing up the entire planet than any other President in our history . I’m going call that a ding on his resume.

Not entirely accurate...

Most historians agree we likely would have devastated the Soviets since their ICBM fleet was pretty non-existent and their bomber force was a joke. Yeah, we would have taken serious casualties, but they would have been decimated.

Psaki calls for censorship of Instagram, Facebook

“I mean, as a mother of a young girl, it makes me absolutely outraged that you’ve seen the Instagram — the reports about Instagram affecting girls’ mental health. That is outrageous.”

If only there was a simple solution for a parent....

 

[UT_VOLS13]

If only there was a simple solution for a parent....

She should be outraged at herself for being a crappy parent.

 

[Grand Vol]

Hey, remember when liberals lost their mind when Trump suggested taking away the protection from social media?

 

[utvolpj]

She should be outraged at herself for being a crappy parent.

I don't know enough about her to make that judgement but I do know she has some easy options to avoid the mental health issues

Ok let me rephrase for historical accuracy, he came closer to get us nuked and causing a radiation fallout on this planet that would make Chernobyl seem like getting an X-ray at the drs office , than any other US President in history

and when conservatives thought it was a good idea?

I thought it was stupid as well. Parents should do their jobs

I agree on the parents part. Still think social media and tech companies need to be regulated.

Her current choice of jobs proves she is a crappy mom.

Sure, what could go wrong?

Thanks joe!

I tell people and I think people on the board know I "used" to be a democrat. To tell you how recent, I voted for Obama twice. It was during his last term that I really woke up. I claimed independent because I was hopeful there were still good candidates on the democrat side. I decided about 5 years ago they are too radical and they are worse today.

JFK donated $1,000 to Nixon's 1950 U.S. Senate campaign.
