Bill Clinton was a good president in some ways, and horrid in others...but I can admit he did a good job overall. I think Obama was a jagoff. Dude did a lot of harm.

I voted for Perot in 92, but voted for Clinton in 96. I also voted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. I voted on Paul in '08, mainly because I was hohum on McCain (I thought he was a good man, I just didn't know if he had what it took to be president), and knew little about Obama other than he had virtually little record of doing anything in the Senate. I voted Romney in 2012, which shows you how unimpressed I was with Obama. But looking back at presidential elections I have voted R 6 times, D 4 times, and 3rd party twice. I voted Nixon in 72 while I was still in the Army; that was a mistake so voted Carter in 76. That was also a mistake so voted Reagan in 80. He had a good first term, weak 2nd term, but voted Bush Sr in 88 (definitely wasn't going to vote for Dukakis after the tank affair, LOL).

Never was a whole lot of difference between parties, so it really was always about voting for the particular candidate, or voting for a president from one party if congress was dominated by the other party to keep a balance. As a lifelong independent and moderate I have had no use for either party. But having said that, I don't think the current Democrat party has an identity. You have the long-time establishment, which currently controls the DNC, the progressive socialists, and then you have those into identity politics. And none of them get along. But the party is rapidly drifting to the far left. I am honestly not sure how long the party can exist in its present state before it splinters (watching to see if the Bernie Bros break away and either join the greens or form a new party.

Republicans are not completely unified as you have Trump supporters and the Never-Trumpers, but the party is far more unified than the Democrat party is. Which is interesting since it appeared to be the Republican party in complete disarray in 2012. If Trump is re-elected, then after that, who knows what the future will look like for the Republican party. The problem with politics for a long time now is that the wrong kind of people seemed to be drawn to politics, those looking to make a career of living off the public dime.

Lol at Bill Gates for acting like he knows how to beat this coronavirus. Dude couldn’t even stop windows from getting viruses. GTFO

Dude has an agenda for sure. Acting like we can’t go back to normal without a vaccine is absolute insanity and a sure fire way to destroy this country. But a vaccine would sure line his pockets

Pelosi vows to challenge Trump's 'dangerous, illegal' move to freeze WHO funding

The WHO lies and covers for China and as a result we were not as prepared as we should’ve been. But Pelosi is mad that Trump suspends their funding while an investigation is underway. Uh... there has to be consequences for this type of stuff. Good grief.

Trump says up, they say down. He says right, they say left. I’m so tired of these people

There will be a full 9/11 Report-style investigation on Trump after this that will drag out for months, if not years. They are already planning to use his response to COVID-19 as an attempt to impeach him again because they know he's going to beat Biden in November.

Clinton simply got out of the way of the GOP's Contract with America to let business get into gear. He did nothing to help the economy except stay out of its way. He allowed the military to deteriorate. He had a good opportunity to take out bin Laden well before the USS Cole with hit by al Qaeda suicide bombers - but passed. How did that work out? Even supposed balancing the budget for a surplus during his term was an accounting gimmick of moving SS funds from restricted accounts to the general budget.

I'm not saying the GOP trotted anybody out there any better. Just that Clinton benefitted from timing, not competence.

Because Biden doesn’t remember what his name is. That’s one.

2, I don’t trust his policies with the economy. Trumps policies are working.

3. Do you think Biden’s team would be defending religious freedom in an event like this the way Trump’s AG is in standing up for the churches in Mississippi being unfairly targeted?

4. Yes, because he’s a democrat. Dems are more concerned with political correctness and identity politics than they are the things that actually matter in this country.

5. Don’t get me started on the social issues.

Bill Clinton didn't start becoming a decent president til Newt and the boys took over the House, then Willie started swinging to the middle instead of the lunatic left.

Eggsactly, Pelosi, Schiff, etc are more concerned with trying to push socialistic bs into a bill to add funding for small businesses and their employees and to continuously investigate Trump that she and her cronies have lost all sanity. They don't care one iota about hard-working, Bible-believing people as long as they can control and buy votes primarily from people already getting handouts that are , in essence, slaves themselves dependant on federal gov't handouts.

The extremists on both sides are going to be the death of this nation. I see a dark path ahead, but I hope to be dead before it happens. If the bozo far lefties ever gain real power, there will be armed conflict at some point.

There are still a lot of people who would fight to the death, before having their constitutional freedoms taken away if/when it comes down to it.

This morning...got nothin to spend them on though..so..🤷‍♂

I want and need a real vacation/trip..I am seriously battling depression...which I have never had a problem with before.

I guess that is why I have been so combative here lately..six months of doing nothing on my time off but watching my mom die, and then straight into this nightmare world...my nerves are shot to hell, and I know I can't be the only one.

Being serious for a moment - maybe look into meditation or a destressing routine (warm bath, stretching, time for introspection). Idk but it sounds like you are very stressed, but it can be controlled internally with enough focus. We can't always control external factors, but we can control how we respond to the outside world.

If depression is an issue, maybe look into SAM-E. If anxiety is an issue, maybe look into CBD.

But outside of substances, just a small dose of meditation, yoga, praying, destressing routines can make a big difference.

Scapegoats for Trump's "I take no responsibility" fumbling of this from the beginning.

He is a great politician, I will say that. Completely fumbles the kickoff and says it was the kicker's fault...and people actually buy it lol. He's either that good or his cult followers can't accept it so they latch onto anything he says, so "their" side wins. Sad, really.
